Bloomin' Beautiful

This is from a class I took this past Wednesday night.  I absolutely love these adorable little frames.  The only problem is, is that I can't find them at target.  :( 

All products used are Stampin' Up except the frame. The ribbon came with the frame. 

We cut Watercolor paper down to size and stamped in black Staz On and used SU's watercolor brush and colored in the image.

Colors used are:  Really Rust, Ruby Red, More Mustard, Old Olive, sky blue and Blue Bayou.

Barbara Dykhouse is new to blogging but is a very talented stamper.  So please take a look at her blog. Here is her link.

P.S.  Happy Mothers Day!  It is a Bloomin' Beautiful day!  Enjoy it!

Garden Whimsy

This is a card I did for a "Shoe Box" swap that I participated in last week end. 

All product used is Stampin Up!  (the ribbon I don't believe is SU, but in the Shoe box swap I used the white sheer ribbon) 

A little inside note:  On the blue card stock I used the 1/2 inch circle punch by SU! and punched out a bunch of dots.  and adhered them to the blue so it added a little dimension. 

Just to give you all an inside note on my life....  I am no longer part owner of a scrapbook store.  Although it was fun, it was a lot of work.  I have chosen to go a different route and work more at my "day" job.  The only thing I will really miss with the store is my friends I have met through there.  You guys are the best.  and remember you can email me anytime. 

I did sign up for Top Line Creations (TLC) and after 2 months they totally changed their structure to a buyers club.  So I have been praying, thinking, praying some more as to what I want to do.....  weather it be staying with TLC or go back to my "passion" which is Stamping.  CTMH was having a great deal but again my real passion has been Stampin' Up.  So 2 weeks ago Mothers Day (Sunday) I signed up with Stampin' UP.  So yep you guessed it I am back as a stampin' Up demonstrator and will be going to convention this year.  YIPPIE!  I am putting together some classes and such.  so keep your eye's peeled.

OK you guys are officially up to date with me..  :) Look for more projects this week!

How cute is this???

Here is a picture of 2 of my 3 babies.  Well they are 8 years old.  But still my babies..  :)  All you animal lovers out there will understand.  This is Skip (the beagle) and Gato (the cat)  It just doesn't matter where Skip lays you can count on Gato going over to get some attention.  My hubby couldn't resist taking this picture. 

Aren't they just the cutest?

Sorry I didn't get any stamping done for show tonight.  We will shoot for tomorrow night for sure.  :)

OMG

Oh my gosh.  I have now truely seen it all.  check out this card.  You have to check this out.  I guess ART does come in all forms.  Not that I would have made a card using this.  But hey If the saying fits..lol

This card posted here was done for a friend of mine who needed some get well cards.  She chose this stamp to be used.  I love this lady bug.  Such an easy stamp to work with.  The paper is by Basic Grey. 

Happy Thursday! 

Happy Birthday Monkeys

Aren't these monkeys just adorable?  I want all the monkey stamps in this collection. 

I am super duper excited that I was able to get my proof of purchase code from Arc Soft for the photo studio 5.5.  I was beginning to worry that I would have to purchase it again and didn't want to spend the money on this. Especially if I could buy stamps with my money instead..  lol :) 

Wishing you a wonderful Wednesday!  (at least it is hump day right?)
