A Broom 4 You

Ok, I know that it has been over a week and I am sorry. I do plan on posting more than once this week to make up for it. Just been very very busy. So here I am. I finally tried my hand at the "broom" from the catalog. Not too hard, but not one I'd like to make dozens of either. I think this will be my prize at my next Card Nite.

Fall Passion

Finally!!!! You would not believe the trouble I had downloading today. So here is my card rendition of the bag we did at Convention this year. I did simple one and "step it up" one. I used the daubers for the colored one and just inked the other with an ink pad. I think I am really going to get into this set.

Got to playing around with my Pick a Petal set and had some fun punching holes in one petal and layering on another layer of another color. I also used a button with some twine for the middle. Hope you enjoy. If you have this set, please play around with the variations and show me your creations!

I'M DRIVIN' IN MY CAR...........

Ok, here is the deal, my nephew is turning 1 next month and my MIL asked if I would make his birthday invites. He is really into cars right now so this is my take on an invitation.

This one is my prototype. Came out ok, but needed a few things. After playing around I added a thing or two here and there.
Here is my bumper to bumper traffic lining up on the "freeway" of my desk!
Here it is after a few moderations. I've added hubcaps, more detail around wheels, and of course headlights. What is a car without headlights? Did you notice the lines on the road? Look closely!
And here it is opened. I do think I need to add some journaling lines to write on and it will be done.

Stamps: NONE!!!! (other than I will add journaling lines)

Inks: Basic Black marker & Summer Sun marker

Papers: Sahara Sand, Real Red, White, Basic Black, Going Grey, Summer Sun

SOCK MONKEY!!!! I haven't forgotten.........

Alright girls, here is a look at one of the new sets from the catalog ~SOCK MONKEY. Isn't he sooo cute!!!!! He even comes with accessories!!! Can you imagine the fun YOU could have with this little guy??? This is a card I did for convention 80's Night!!! I had so much fun there. It was so beautiful to go out every morning and see mountains everywhere you turned! And not only that, but Stampin' Up! is coming out with some more great exciting things in the months ahead!!!!! So be sure to check out a catalog and get those wish lists going and plan some get togethers with your friends and get ready to have some FUN!!!!


With the SOCK MONKEY I did a technique called paper peicing. I used cardstock that I stamped with a background and then with the monkey and then cut out peices. You could do this with designer paper also. There are just so many different things you can do with him. Any way enjoy. I will do my best to get back in the weekly groove.......
