5 more days...still thinking

I'm still thinking...I want to celebrate the day properly...It is my DD birthday as well...the countdown is on...I'm sure I'll come up with something this weekend that everyone will like and even might enjoy.

Yay! it's nice and sunny today..I suffer from seasonal depression and can't stand the winter because of this reason. I do have indoor day lighting and the whole deal but sometimes natural light is what I need to give me a happy boost...or a Rickards Red...I love my beer..lol...I like white wine as well but enough about all of that.
So this wedding card was a sample I made for a friend who was attending a wedding that was arranged and well it wasn't quite appropriate because of the sentiment...I didn't know it was arranged or I would have chosen different words for the sentiment. This was a difficult card even though it looks simple...but I loved he result in the end.

Til tomorrow :)

6 more days... :)

Hey everyone! So I've got 6 more days 'til my blog-aversary and I still haven't decided on what I'm going to do...I have a couple things in mind but nothing I'm willing to give away just yet....wow has it been almost a year...the day of my blog-aversary is also my DD 16th B-day so it might be a really busy day...lol...

So here is another Wedding/Anniversary card. I found this paper in my stash by Rusty Pickle...I've got lots of it actually I had forgotten that I had it and thought this would be beautiful for a universal card Wedding/Anniversary/Valentine's....It was however my intention to make a wedding card but it's such a simple card that it could be used for a lot of different occasions. Another card without a stamped image...Hope you all like it.

Have a great day :)

Paper: 140lb watercolor paper, Dble sided Rusty Pickle

Lemon Lime Lemonade.....

That is what I see when I look out my front window. This big ole tree on my neighbors yard nearly covers our entire front yard in shade in the summer which is fantastic on those hot days. But when fall starts nearing and leaves start falling...they all tend to fall on our yard...the tree is really big and very yellow right now with some green towards the bottom where the sun can get too it...the sun is out and bright right now which makes it sparkle some from the rainfall earlier. I love fall....I just don't like how soon winter arrives after that.

I almost forgot that my blog-aversary is in a week...hmmmm....a Give-a-way sounds like a great idea what you all think :) Keep Checking Back !

Here is a card I made for a wedding...I actually made quite a few for people and these were some of them...tomorrow I'll post another one...click on the picture for larger view...the pic is still quite unexposed...I forgot to set the setting on my camera back to the original setting after my DD uses it. I apologize for the quality.
Until Tomorrow:)

Help! I need help organizing my stamp sets!

Hey everyone! Okay so I will be posting some cards this week but in the mean time I am organizing my stamp sets. I thought about cataloguing them on clear sheets by stamping them with Stazon ink so I know what stamps go with what set just in case one gets mixed up or lost in another set. I have bookcases but I have stuff on them...I was thinking about getting new bookshelves from Ikea so I'm able to add shelves as I go. Now my small dilemma is whether or not to catalogue the actual stamp sets alphabetical or by category. I figured that if catalogue the sets on clear sheets it would easy to just go and find the sets, but then I thought about space and time. Easy means fast...easy means less time...equals a good plan...lol...which I don't have...lol...
I have to start with my SU sets first then I can figure out my clear and unmounted sets.

Pictures are appreciated and ideas to keep cost down will help also.

Help me please :(

Thanks All

I'M BACK!! :) With a new Card!!

Hi everyone!!! I've missed you all and of course blogging! It's been a tough year to say the least but even tougher this summer. Things are still crazy in my life but schedules are now back to normal and I can get back to my love of card making and stamping! I hope everyone had a safe and fun summer. I wanted to let those who supported me when I quit smoking that I am still going strong and feeling amazing :) I don't feel free from all the cravings yet but going to the gym definitely helps. :))

I made this card for a friend of mine who had a wedding to go to. It was someone from her workplace that I made the Bat Mitzvah invites for. The link for that post is HERE. The picture does not do this card any justice because of the size and materials that were used. Check the list below for more details.
The card is 6x6 and I used Prima Say It In Crystals for an added elegant flare for both the outside and the inside. As you can see the stem of the flower is the same scroll as the inside of the card. I was going for something fresh and elegant and my friends loved it when the saw I personalized it :) I have a couple more wedding cards that I came up with that I will post this week. Hope you all have a good day :)
