Priceless Faux Silk

My local stamp club met this week and I demoed the faux silk technique. One of the gals in the group brought her Priceless set and since I don't have that one, I used it to stamp up some panels using Pale Plum and a silver Colorbox. The challenge over at Stamp Simply is to create something for a friend. I assembled it into this card and will mail it to another gal in our group. She recently went on a bus tour through the northeast and saw all the gorgeous leaves changing colors. Her pictures were so vibrant and lovely. Inspiring as well since she made us all these really pretty bookmarks using the colors of fall. I'll send this to her as a thank you for a being such a sweet friend!! It's been almost a year that I've been making the time for stamp club again and I am so thankful that I am. It is a really neat bunch of ladies and I feel blessed to have their friendship and to be able to share our stamping and all together!

Thanks so much for stopping by - I hope you have recovered from the shock of having 2 posts in ONE DAY - a rarity for me!! Have a beautiful evening, I'm planning on snuggling with my honey watching the office tonight - the only tv show we both like!!

Good morning girls!! (I assume everyone that reads my blog is a woman so if there are any male readers - speak up!) Anyway, I created this card many weekends ago when my friend Bridget and I had stamp day! I had been wanting to paper piece this truck and thought this plaid made it kinda "manly". I also think it will be really cute in polka dots so that's on my "to try" list! Boy is that list getting L--O--N--GGGGGG!! A very basic card without a lot of frills and froofs. I hope you enjoyed looking! Do you own this set?? What is your favorite thing to do with it??

Sweet Baby

Here is a card that I made earlier this summer and can finally share with you. It was for my secret sister, who was expecting a grandbaby. As you know, baby cards are one of my most favorite kind to make....so I was very happy when I found out that my secret sis had a little one on the way in her family!

I totally (heart) this "old" baby set from SU! It's cute and whimisical and so fun! Totally cracks me up with the phone in the carriage! I'm not sure why b/c I'm not really a chat on the phone kinda gal.....so this was never an issue in my house when I was growing up. My sister on the other hand.....

You can't see that the middle layer has text stamped in blush blossom all over it in this photo....but it's there and didn't look quite so weird in real life!

Enjoy your day - may it be a beautiful one full of blessings that make you laugh and fill your heart!

Always

I did two cards this week with the sketch from Page Plans as I wanted to see if I could actually make 2 very different cards using the same sketch. I think I pulled it off. It's hard to tell in the photo, but I sponged just a little bit of pink ink around the edges of the heart to give it some definition.



There are a few more creations over at Page Plans today that are so WOW!! The layouts are just AWESOME and actually make me want to scrapbook!

Make it a beautiful day!

MOJO Lilacs

Here is a card I made for Mojo Monday #19 - my first Mojo sketch to participate in. I love her sketches so I am going to go back and do them all over the course of the year!
