Hey There Bleeps!
I hope you had a very Blessed Easter, we sure did! Remember, Easter ain't all about eggs,candy and the Bunny, LOL!!! It's about what Christ did for us!!! And I'm sure glad He did....cause' I don't know about you...but I'm a sinner in need of help for life!! ;)
Well, today's card is for the challenge over at Late Night Stampers, to make something patriotic. I used some retired DSP that actually is a western themed paper pack, but I liked the colors and it did have some stars on it too!!! I made the 'banner' by using the scallop square punch and cutting it in half and layering it. It's a pretty simple card....hope you like it!
Have a awesome week and thanks for stopping by!!! ;)
Hello Bleeps!
I hope you are having an awesome Good Friday today! Today's cards I made just for the heck of it, LOL!!! I wanted to use up the rest of the ribbon I used on my other card from about two weeks ago, and I do so love this stamp set!!!! It's basically the same card recipe that I used on this card here......well, except for the obvious use of the scallop square die and adding the butterflies! And Boo....I don't have anymore of this pretty ribbon!!!
Have a wonderful Easter Weekend and thanks so much for popping in to visit me!!! ;)
Hey There Bleeps!

I hope you like my card and thanks so much for stopping by! ;)
Have a great day!!!
Hey there Bleeps (blog peeps!)
Today's card I made for my kid's friend birthday!!! I got this stamp set FREE from Stampin' Up!.....just one of the many reasons I love being a demo. FREE is my favorite word, LOL!!! I had to ink it up as soon as I got it.....I'm quite impatient!!! So, I stamped the gruff little bear on card stock twice and cut him out. The s'mores were inked and stamped on card stock too....I used some liquid applique' for the marshmallows and then heat set it to make it puff up. I may have gotten a tad crazy on making the bear a messy eater, LOL!!! But, this is for a 9 yr old's bday, so it doesn't matter as much, I don't think he will mind!!! I just couldn't stop and now he looks like he might be foaming at the mouth....and if you've ever seen my kids eat their s'mores, it fits....hehehehe!
I used Crystal Effects on the chocolate part, so it has a shine. A few years ago my sister gave me some clear gel tacky glue from Aleene's and said it was "similar to CE"....so, I never bought any from SU! before. Well, I got this bottle FREE (gotta love FREE, right?)....so anyways, just for the record.....Crystal Effects is nothing like the clear gel glue!!! I'm in love with this CE now and I could just kick myself for not buying it earlier!
Anyways, I chose the sketch over at Operation Write Home since I already had the pieces cut and ready to go, this card took maybe 5 minutes to complete, LOL!!
Well, thanks so much for visiting me today and have a great rest of the week!!! ;)

Hey there Bleeps!
I hope your week is going good so far! Today's project I made for a door prize for my upcoming scrapbooking class at the local library. It's an altered Starbucks carton and bottles. I'm not sure if I'll leave the bottles empty or not.....that way if they wanted to put something in them to give as a gift they could, what do you think?

Today's card is for the challenge over at Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog......it has been awhile since I've done one of their challenges. I used the same image from that sweet stamp set I used yesterday.....I love it!!!! Here's the sketch they gave us to work with.
As you can see, I just changed up the placement of flowers and added a ribbon....but everything else is pretty much like the sketch! This will be the card for my stamp club this month.....I just need to make a 3-D project for them next......I hope you have a great day!!!Thanks so much for stopping by!! ;)

Hey there bleeps!
Today's card isn't for any challenges, LOL!!! I actually put it together myself, yay me.....hehehe!!!! I had this ribbon for awhile in my stash and wanted to use it, thanks mom! So, I sponged and used card stock and pattern paper colors to match the colors from the ribbon.....even though I didn't have the exact colors, since this isn't Stampin' Up! ribbon....I think it turned out to be fine! I also, used little tiny scraps of card stock to make crumpled flowers and then used a SU! marker to add depth to the flowers! If you love this image, it is a gorgeous stamp set from Stampin' Up! It's in the New Occasions Mini Catty right now....it will expire on April 30, 2011....so get it while you can!!! Contact me for more info.
I hope you like my card and thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!!! ;)

Hey there Bleeps!
Sorry I've been MIA lately. My younger brother has type 2 diabetes and is only 32 yrs old. He was in ICU because he wasn't taking care of himself like he should!!! He is out now and is doing much better....but it was touch and go for awhile because his kidneys were trying to shut down! Please keep him in your prayers as he still has a long road to haul....and he really needs to take his diabetes seriously and take care of himself better!!!
I received this gorgeous card in the mail Friday from Karrie O. Isn't it beautiful? I just love it. It's really so much better in person, what can I say? I have a crappy camera or I guess it's my crappy photography skills, LOL. I really love her sponging which gives it such a soft look....don't you think? She used the stamp set Just Believe from Stampin' Up!.....now I really need this stamp set after seeing her lovely card, LOL!!!
Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!
