Thank You ... 2 of 3

This is card two of three for Molly.  I've been surfing Splitcoast Stampers to get some ideas.  I saw a few cards with the big U on them that caught my attention and I really liked the look.  So from the talented stamper's out there who sparked my interest, here is what I created ...

Stamps:  With All My Heart

Paper:  Black, Summer Sun, White, Dark Red (scrap - unknown)

Ink:  Black

Accessories:  Finial Press and Polka Dot embossing folders, Boho and oval punches, Cricut Printing 101 cartridge, pearl

All products are Stampin' Up unless otherwise noted.

I'm off to pack for the weekend.  I'm so excited about the Master's and seeing my family but only wish my hubby was going too.  He is staying home due to work and taking care of the animals.  Maybe he will get to see me on TV at the Master's.  :)  Unfortunately, the weather for Friday is saying rain right now.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it will change.

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

A New Year ...

Happy New Year to all!  It's been a while since I've posted on my blog.  I spent the last month with my family and loved every minute of it.  It was wonderful to have everyone home again.  We played golf, disc golf, tennis and took walks during the holidays.


Today I took a few minutes for myself and headed to my craft room.  I wanted to play with the Pals Paper Arts since I have not done that in a while.  This week they are featuring a coloring challenge ...

I also looked over at Splitcoast Stampers to see which challenge I wanted to play with.  I decided on Clean and Simple using die cuts.  For Christmas Bethany gave me some Cricut cartridges and I thought that would be perfect for this card.  Here is what I came up with ...

Stamps:  You've Got Style by Gina K.

Paper:  Vanilla, Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze

Ink:  Not Quite Navy, Riding Hood Red

Accessories:  Cricut Damask cartridge, Nestabilities scallop and oval dies, glitter pen (non SU), polka dot embossing folder, word window and modern label punch, rhinestones, blender pen, dimensionals

All products are SU unless otherwise noted.

I cut out the design on my Cricut in Baja Breeze and then glued it onto a piece of Not Quite Navy.  I then ran it through my Cuttlebug using the polka dot embossing folder.  Next I trimmed it down to the border of the polka dots.  Now I have a cool looking background!

The image was colored with my blender pen and Not Quite Navy ink pad.  I added a few sparkles to the belt on the dress and the heart on the coat hanger.  

Thanks for stopping by and as always ...

Have a great day,

Another winter day...so tired of this

I can't believe we got snow again and they talk about global warming.  We rarely get snow and this winter we have had snow at least five times already..ugh!  Today I'm supposed to go to UAB to see Bethany for her 19th birthday...can't believe my daughter is 19.  As I sit here, looking out my bedroom window at the snow covered roofs and ground, I am so disappointed.  I check out the road in front of my house and it looks clear.  Wait, what are they saying...the roads are covered with black ice and they have shut down the interstates and bridges...another ugh.  Since I will not be able to see my daughter today and I will just have to escape to my room of solace and make something for her. 

Enough of my pity party and on to something brighter...my card.   I made this for the Splitcoast Sketch Challenge 267.  I needed a card for a soccer parent to say thanks.  This layout was perfect...quick and simple.  I didn't realize until I uploaded this card that there was not any stamping on the outside of it. 

The GHS are initials for the high school...Grissom High School.  Even though this card looks a bit like halloween, these are the school colors.  I was hoping by adding ribbon and brads that it would take the halloween look.

I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the white panel.  I sponged the edges next to soften them.  The 'ole CB also cut out my stars.  The GHS was made by using my Cricut and the George cartridge.  For something different, I used textured cardstock from Bazzill.

Thanks for stopping by and I enjoy reading your comments.  Have a great day,

Pam~
