Quick and Simple

I wanted to share a card that I made while Bethany was home for Spring Break.  I cherish the times we share together, especially in my craft room.  She is getting a pretty good stash of goodies too.  So fun to watch her create!  I meant to photograph her card too, but she took it with her back to college.  We always use the same layout but different stamps and colors.  It's amazing how different they look.  So this is what my inky fingers created ...

Stamps:  Forest Friends, Fabulous Phrases

Paper:  Cool Caribbean, Close to Cocoa, Very Vanilla

Ink:  Close to Cocoa, Cool Caribbean 

Accessories:  CB embossing folder, rhinestone (non-SU), sponge dauber

All supplies are SU! unless otherwise noted.

I hope you enjoy your weekend!  We are hosting a soccer tournament with teams coming from Wyoming, Oklahoma and Tennessee.  Unfortunately we are having bad thunderstorms today and it is not looking like soccer weather.  I'm so disappointed and know the families that have travelled here are really unhappy about this weather.  I'm hoping the rain Gods fall asleep for a while.

Have a great day,

A CASE

Happy Friday to everyone!  It has been a fun week for us and I hope for you too. 

 The card that I'm showing today is actually a CASE (copy and share everything) from my new Paper Crafts magazine, March/April 2010 by C Birr.  I changed the color and stamped image. 

Once again I used my Forest Friends SU! stamp set.  This little guy is so cute...reminds me of Bambi.  I used cool carribean, summer sun, chocolate chip and white cardstock.  I inked Bambi in chocolate chip to match the cardstock.  I ran the chocolate chip cardstock through my cuttlebug embossing folder.

Had a great day yesterday out on the golf course.  I was finally hitting the ball like I knew what I was doing.  I had lost my swing technique somewhere along the way.  I realized today I was moving my hands in my back swing.  Can't believe the week is over and the children go back to school on Monday.  I so enjoy my babes being home with me and my hubby taking off from work...love my family!

Have a great weekend!

MOJO 130 Sketch ...

It is Spring Break here in Alabama so Michael is out of school and Bethany is home from college.  Bethany enjoys creating cards just as much me...yea!  We've spent a few hours here and there stamping.  The card I'm showing today is for the MOJO 130 Sketch Challenge.  It felt great to participate in a challenge again.

I used the Forest Friends Stampin' Up! set.  It is the first time it saw ink.  I used my markers (really rust & old olive) to color directly on the tree stamp.  The cute little bunny is stamped in really rust.  The designer paper is from My Mind's Eye. After looking it over when I was finished, I think there is too much rust.  If I remake this card, I  will use a different color on the bottom.  The ribbon is old olive from SU.

For those who are on Spring Break also, I hope you enjoy your week.  It does not feel like spring here at all...chilly, some rain, and lots of clouds.  Hoping that Friday will bring us some sun and warmer temps.  We all want to go golfing before heading back to school.

I also want to wish my nephew, Stanley, a great big Happy 18th Birthday today. 

Have a great day,
Pam~
