Extreme Happiness Card

Good Morning !! Here are two more cards I made this week. The first card I made using the Extreme Happiness set for CTMH. I used it the other day in a layout with pictures from our vacation. I second generation rock and rolled the flower using tempting turquoise. What this means is you ink your image then stamp it lightly on a scrap paper then roll the edges in the same ink. This set has different stamps for each part of the Hibiscus flower so I used same ink for center and summer sun for the middle thingy. Because they are acrylic stamps it was very easy to stamp each layer. The second card I’ve done before this one is just in different colors. Have a great day and thanks for visiting.

Razzleberry Lemonade

I love this new Designer Paper from SU!! It is definitely my favorite set of paper in the new catty. The colors are so vibrant!! I made two cards using new in colors and Razzleberry Lemonade DP. I used sets I already have cause new sets are just not in the budget right now. My oldest daughter is a senior now and I’m saving for her pre-college classes and senior cuts. Wow having a senior is expensive!!! I’m looking forward to this year and I’m excited for her. I used the SU Sizzix butterfly die on the 5x5 butterfly card. I was inspired by a card on Laurie’s Blog. Here is the post Pacific Butterfly Box and Cards that inspired me.

Moon Doggie Pages

I’m enjoying my days off so far I have not scraped a lot yet but hope to remedy that soon. I plan to make some cards today with my new in color cardstock and Razzleberry lemonade paper. I love this new set of designer paper from SU it is so pretty.
These are the first pages I have finished from our vacation this year to Myrtle Beach. I used CTMH Moon Doggie paper and Stickers I also used CTMH Extreme Happiness stamp set with Stampin’ Up! Ink. I rock and rolled the flowers. I have some more beach pages planned out to make this week. Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe July 4th!! Thanks for visiting!!!

Wow life is crazy!!!

Just when I thought life was going to calm down a bit for me it goes a little nuts. We went on our family vacation and had a blast!! I love being with my family. There were twelve of use total between two condos. On the last day before we were heading home we found out our basement flooded because a drain pipe backed up. It back up because we got three inches of rain in a couple of hours. A lot of people who have never had problems with water getting in their homes had water get in. So we have spent this week since getting back cleaning out. The worse damage was in our storage room where the floor drain is. We tossed a lot of stuff that was in cardboard boxes and reorganized. My husband said yesterday when we finishing up on the storage room that maybe it was a good thing this happened cause we got rid of a lot of stuff and the storage room looks really good. I think his black eye will fade in a week or two. ;) Now we just have to wait for the musty smell to go away. We have hurried along the process with two air purifiers. I am posting some projects I completed before we left for the beach. I do not have any supplies to post cause I have forgotten most of what I used so this time I’m just posting the picture and if I figure out what I used I’ll post it later. The card was for my sister’s birthday and I dry embossed using a brass stencil and a light box. The page that has picture on it is of my hubby and his sisters. That page was for my Mother-in-law scrapbook I have made her. Actually all of the scrap pages in this post are for her book. Hope everyone has a good weekend!! Thanks for visiting!!

Manhattan Flower Birthday Cards

I made these two cards for friends at work who have birthdays this week. We got them cream filled donut holes (yum!!) and flowers they can plant outside. I'm the official card maker for all events we ladies need at work. :) There is a demo whose card is published in this months Stampin' Success and I cased her card. Stampin’ Success is a monthly mini magazine Stampin' Up! sends to current demos. Her name is Jodi-Danielle Kutz from Sarnia, Ontario. I like to give credit to those who inspire me and her card was beautiful. I hope to do some scrappin this week I am now finished with my second job so have more free time. There is only 11 more days until I am off totally for the summer so I am planning to craft a lot after that. WOO-HOO!!!! Hope everyone has a great evening and thanks for visiting!!

Supplies I used:

Hero Arts butterfly stamp set
Close to Cocoa ink
Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze, Close to Cocoa, Whisper White and Parisian Breeze Specialty paper
Manhattan Flower embossing folder, Chocolate Chip ribbon

Sense of Time

Wow I can’t believe how much I got done yesterday . Here are two more cards I finished yesterday. I made copies of some to send out to a few friends who are sick or have had surgery. This Sense of Time set is great. It makes great guy cards and can easily be used for female cards too. It would be great for grad cards and I’m going to try to scrap with is soon too. I checked out the Sense of Time gallery on splitcoast yesterday and found a few cards that inspired mine. Click on the name of the cards to see the fabulous cards that inspired me. I’m also in the middle of reading the Twilight series. I finished book two New Moon in less then 48 hours and started Eclipse today. I will be a little longer reading this one cause I go back to work tomorrow. Oh joy…I’m so excited!!! Not!!!

Hope everyone has a great week!!! Thanks for Visiting!!!

Oval All Cards

I love this new oval all and scallop oval punch from Stampin’ Up! There are so many ways that they can be used. I used some CTMH embellishments that I have had for a bit but have not used. I used the pretty pins that is new in this catalog and my sister and I split some Jolee glass beads from Michael’s that I used to add some extra sparkle to the top. We also split a large package of earring backs to put on the tip of the pins so when they are mailed or given they will not stick someone. I also used the Emporium Creative Basic paper package from CTMH. On the Just For You card I was inspired by this card on SCS by AmyStamper I really like her card!!

Lately I have found that I don’t get many of my scrap stuff from stores anymore. I have been getting most of my goodies from SU and CTMH. About the only supplies I have been picking up at local stores are glue products. It seems like the stores have the same old supplies but with the constantly new catalogs and minis from both companies they stay fresh and hopping. Also my time is in short supply lately and it is easier to pick things out of catalogs while at home or sitting in a doctors office then looking around stores.

My daughter Kayla got all four wisdom teeth out yesterday and is not feeling to good. She is so swollen!!! I don’t remember it being this bad when I got mine out back in my twenties. I can’t wait for this week to be over and this be all behind her. I really hate when my girls are hurting or feel bad.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!! Thanks for Visiting!!!
