Three Little Words

It seems here lately that I can’t sneak away to my scrap room without my 4 year old grandson, Dylan being right by my side.  It doesn’t matter the chore, he is up for the task.  Anything to be able to get to play with Nana’s toys.  He’s a really good helper. 

Every time we start to make a card, he does his best to convince me to use his favorite color, Pacific Point.  I like Pacific Point, too.  It’s such a fun & happy color. 

Stamp sets used are:  Three Little Words & Sincere Salutations. 

Colors used are:  Whisper White, Pacific Point, & Marina Mist.

Birthday Silhouette Wishes

Greetings stampers!  Another restless night.  So far we’re working either day 3 or day 4 that I have been sick.  No fever, no aches, and none of the other symptoms that are associated with the flu, other than throwing up several times a day, which is getting VERY old!

Anyway, I have gotten little sleep because I’ve been sick, and I have to drive to Meridian today for a Dr’s appointment.  I hope Bill will drive cause I know I won’t be able to. 

Anyway, this card was created using the following stamp set’s:  Nature Silhouette and Sincere Salutations.

Pastel Thanks So Much

I really wish I could remember the creative person who inspired the design of this card.  I stamped the images with black ink and then outlined and colored in with my white gel pen.  Once the white gel ink was dry, I colored with my Stampin' Pastels to give it a soft look. I liked her version better because the gel pen didn't cover over the black ink where it did on mine.

This card was created with the following Stampin' Up! Supplies:

• Stamp Sets:
• Simply Soft
• Sincere Salutations
• Punches:
• Extra Large Oval Punch
• Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack
• Big Shot:
• Designer Frames Embossing Folder
• Framelits Labels Collection
• Adorning Accents Embossing Folder
• Misc:
• Stampin' Pastels
• White Gel Pen
• Q-TIps for applying Pastels
• Victoria Crochet Trim
• Halfback Pearls
• Colors Used:
• Not Quite Navy
• Pink Pirouette

Thank you so much for stopping by.  Your feedback is very appreciated and I look forward to reading it.

Thank You - in glitter

Good evening all!  Well, after 3 days of working on the same card, my Mojo finally started coming together and I was able to finish it.  I hate it when nothing looks quite right and sometimes no matter how hard I try, some of my cards still don't get the cut and they end up sitting in a box with other cards waiting for a creative nudge from me.  Sometimes when I'm not sure what I want to do next, I'll go through my not-quite-done cards and look through them to see if any ideas jump out at me from looking at them with a fresh mind.  It's those great moments when I can finish the card once more giving it a purpose, other than laying around taking up space.

Once the card was finished I spritzed it with my home made Shimmer Spritz.  Recipe can be located here.

Anyway, here we are!
