Fall

I love the way the leaves turn and the colors that are produced!!! Here are a couple cards that were inspired by the colors of fall! :) I used the masking technique :) Super fun technique! :)


Here is the last card :
I hope you enjoy my cards! I am working on some Halloween and Christmas cards as we speak! :) I will update soon! :)

Thanks for looking! :)

How do you create???

I usually draw or map out what I want the card to look like.. then the hard part comes.. Making the card or item so it turns out like what I have drawn! LOL sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. My maps usually lead to other ideas, but are a good start! I am not very good and taking what other people make and switching up colors or images to match my style. For some reason I have to do it my way! LOL Hmmmm wonder if that says something about me!!! LOL I have notebooks full of ideas of items to create!! I now am going to start going through all of them and doing them!!!! FUN!!!

Here is a little drawing of how I create! How do you do it??? Would love to see some of your creative processes! :)

Until next time!!! Have a great day all! :)

Well I have been making the cards... just not loading them here... It is hard to remember to get it done! LOL LOL Anyway... the next few cards were really hard.. the paper choices I randomly picked out of my scraps holder... well they sucked! LOL LOL I hope I did ok with them! LOL LOL I hope I get some better choices this time! LOL

Stamp Camp!!!!

I am having a Stamp Camp on Sept 20th!!! The hostess and I share a B-day and so we decided to have a joint stamp camp!!! Here are the cards we are going to do!! ENJOY! LOL







I have to admit.. They are not all my ideas!!! Some I got from swaps with fellow Demos... the gift card I got from K. Warner's blog, and even from Stampin' Sucess.

Hope you like them!

Enjoy the weekend.

Stampin' Event!

Today I went to an event and my swap card won 1st prize!!! Wow was I shocked! It felt really good. What a boost to my self-esteem! I needed it! I feel ready to start up with business again!

Anyway,.... here is the card I made:


The flower is made with Stampin' Up!'s circle scallop punch.. and then you smash the paper around to loosen the fibers and then tear them apart and then I slit the scallops all the way around.

It is very easy!!!! Anyone can do it!!! Try it out!

Have fun stamping!

First Post

Here it is!!! Here is my first blog post!!!

Just got back from Stampin' Up! Convention!!!!! WOW it was awesome! I loved every minute of it... EXCEPT!!!!!! it was so hot I felt like my skin was melting off of my face and body! :( LOL ..

The boys decided to come with me... and we drove.. it was miserable! 14 hours in the car each way. Thankfully my parents live almost half way in-between... so we were able to stop and crash there and they fed us! MMMMMMMMMMMMMM gotta love that!

My swap card was very simple and easy to make.. I love simple cards.. Everything I used to make this card was from Stampin' Up! Feel Free to use this idea or change it!




















I am going to post some of my daily life.. but also some card ideas and swaps! Hope you like them! feel free to comment!
