Picture Frame

Hi all!... Well here I am again not posting everyday but I have been a busy, busy person... I can't believe how my time just goes by so fast .... please excuse me for not posting everyday last week ... I will try harder for the days to come... My posting for today is a name picture frame that I was suppose to make as a b-day gift for one of my neighbors child's b-day... I have been bad and I put it aside and never remembered to finish it... SHAME ON ME!... But I finished it today... and I gave it to her today too... and she loved it... I am so glad for that and I think the baby liked it too she was trying to eat it.... I used pretty in pink and mellow moss CS from SU... I used the same color stamp pads for the colors and for the flowers I used my cuttle bug die cut with pink diamonds and pink ribbon...

Baby Girl

I hope everyone liked the cards that I posted last week... now for this week ... I had no time to post this weekend because I have been very busy making birth announcements for a neighbor... of course needless to say she is having a little girl... This will be the third baby girl on our street...
What I used.... pink paper not stampin card stock I didn't have any 12x12 paper so I just went out and purchased some at ace moore... the color looks real close to pretty in pink... then I used Chocolate Chip from SU... and the ribbon again ace moore matches real good with the paper... the stamp set I used I borrowed from my friend Melinda it is a retired SU stamp set...
The style of the card is a tri-fold I cut 12x5 1/2 the I scored @ 4" and 8" then I folded the scored lines... I used my colozzule to make the oval frame for picture... and I brought these spongie tape tabs that stick on paper but are not permanent so I thought that would be perfect so the receiver of the card can take the picture off with out ruining the picture, the tabs are sticky on both sides so I left the other side covered until ready to use for a picture... I hope that she really likes the cards .... I did ask before I started making the cards if she had any birth announcements in mind and she said no... and that she will be glad to get some.... so I took that as a yes to go ahead... and so I did and this is what I came up with... Hope you guys like... Bye for now... Keep stampin because I know I will... See you later...
My camera really started acting dum towards the end of endless picture taking to get a good setting for my pictures to come out half decent... sorry about the picture, hope you like anyway..

Shapes and Shadows

This is a retired stampin up stamp set...Shapes and Shadows ... I forgot I had this set... I was cleaning my stampin room and my youngest asked if he can move into my room because he shared his room with older bother and he wanted a space of his own... so like a wonderful mother that I am I let him have my craft room now my stamps and me are homeless... I hate it but we mothers sacrifice for our kids... he is to happy and I enjoy all the hugs and kisses he gives me for exchange of my room ... any back to the card in the cleaning process I found this set and decided to make a card with it again with white CS... I just love the way it looks... I used 5 colors from the earth elements... pumpkin pie, old olive, green garden, so saffron, chocolate chip and close to cocoa... and a brown ribbon...Have a great and keep stampin ...

Mother's Day

Well yesterday, I was looking to make something because again I haven't posted in a while... so I had a few minutes to work on something so I decided to work on a mother's day card ...The colors I used are YoYo Yellow and Tempting Turquoise... The reasons for using these two colors together.... I have this big container of scrap CS that I need to use.... And I plan to use a lot of the paper until at least more than half is used.... I used the In the Spotlight, Hostess set that is retired... I Just finished the words this morning with Happy Mother's Day I got from another retired set that I have called Sweet and Simple Salutations... I couldn't find a stamp set that I have with Happy mother's day... What does that tell you I have to get some more stamp sets.... Stampin Rocks

Lilly B-day Card

Hi! Everyone I finally got to use my Lilly stamp from Pink Cat Studio... After many tries of something I wanted to do my project ended up different... I know I had an idea in my mind but when I started to make my card the colors changed and the style too... Go figure that...
Well I used lavender lace and pretty in pink SU CS...
And the saying is from a retired set from SU Smile....
I love all the dimension I added to this card I started with the wings first I embossed the wings only the outer part with embossing glitter powder I also did the bottom with the same technique... then I colored Lilly with the crayon pencils that I love so much... I really haven't been able to get in tune with the makers yet... I can't seem to color to well with them... But I just love using my crayon pencils.... I colored the Lilly on the bottom and the Lilly on the top... the same color... and put some dimension to Lilly as well... I added a ice cream cone with the b-day hat... I really like this set... I am more than sure that you will be seeing more cards made with this set...
