Late St Paddy's Day Uploads.

This is just a little card made for ... Yeah .. St Patricks's Day !!! I used a little stamp from Studio G .. the little $ ones.

Ooooopps.. I forgot one

This is another card made for the DT for OUTLINES RUBBER STAMP CO .. I made this one with a border stamp I had of theirs already. I used a few Swarovski Crystals as usual :) They are just so pretty and Sparkly !! Hope you like.

My First Assignment

Well..... the 8 cards below this are my first ever Design Team member attempts. They have all been mailed to Outlines Rubber Stamp Company. It was very hard to part with them . They were all Springy and Blingy and I hope Mandy enjoys them as much as I enjoyed making them.

The first night I received the stamps, I came into my craft room and sat down to make a card... I was so nervous ... my hands were shaking ... it was kind of funny !! Then I calmed down shook it off and got to it. Hope you enjoy the results.

Now ... I wait to see what happens .. what will my next asignment be ??? Please come back and check it out.

Hope you all have an Awesme Day and thanks so much for stopping by.

Outlines Card 8

This is my favorite card. I love working with this Tri Shutter Card. The tutorial can be found here on SCS.

There are 3 different stamps from Outlines used on this card. They have many stamps that are so perfect for this type of card as they can all be easily cut and just portions used. The stamps can be found here. I hope you like it.

Outlines Card 7

I love this little bunny!!! I colored her with Bic mark It's and of course the usual bling. I used Jones Tones Glossy paint for the tail ... it is puffy and I sprinkled some glitter on it while it was wet. The stamps for this card can be found here.

Outlines Card 6

Ok .. here is card 6 ... I colored with Bic Mark It's and used a few Swarovski Crystals and a bit of stickles .. I love bling. A few of the flowers are popped up on dimentionals as is the egg. The stamp for this image can be found here.

Outlines Project 5

This is a super easy little Match Book Candy Cover, The tutorial can be found here at SCS. I used a stamp from Outlines Rubber Stamp Co. lots of stickles and Swarovski Crystals , also from outlines.

Outlines Card 1

This is one of my 8 cards I needed to make for my DT Member assignment for Outline Rubber Stamp Company. This was a very cheery and colorful assignment. I wanted to keep the colors light and springy. This is actually one of the darkest colors I used as I wanted to be able to use for male or female. This stamp can be found here

FS158 @ SCS Hamiltongal's Special Day

These 2 cards were made in honour of Hamiltongals's special Featured Stampers Day @ SCS .. her gallery is amazing and it was hard to pick just one card .. so I did 2 .... The Peach one is a case of this card The things I chose to change are ... different image, different CB folder, changed ribbon, changed the bottom of the card and omitted the blackand switched to peach.

The Yellow one is a case of this card I changed the images, cb folders, corners but kept the colors. Congrats on your day Laurie !!!

My Valentine Dairy Queen Cake Pizza !!!

I have the sweetest most thoughtful Husband ever .... here is Our funny Valentine's Day story.

He was wondering yesterday how he could sneak out of the house without me knowing so he could pick up a Dairy Queen Ice Cream Cake for me.... then I asked him to go to the grocery store to get a few things for my chili. He jumped at the chance LOL (not normal as he hates the grocery store)

Any way we went to bed and he was pretty pleased with himself cuz he had bought he cake and I did not suspect a thing.

He brought it out this morning and presented it to me.. with a little bit of a wondering look on his face ... believe this or not .... he thought it would be ok to leave it in the trunk overnight ???????? He now relates it to one of his best BONE HEAD MOVES .. LOL

This made him remember a WRKP In Cincinatti show .. When Herb was throwing turkeys out of a plane on Thanksgiving and Les Nessman was surprised that the turkeys were splatting on the ground ... he did'nt know turkey's couldn't fly ... and he could't get word to the plane to tell Herb to stop throwing them out ... OMG .. we were laughing til we cried ..They also thought it was a good idea at the time....... best Valentines cake pizza everever !!!!!

First Design Team Position !!!!!

I am so excited !! I have been chosen to be a 2010 Design team Member for Outlines Rubber Stamps. When I started making cards about 5 years ago now, My friends ..Karen and Kim got me hooked on Outlines Stamps. I love all the detail and all the cutting and snipping that their stamps required. Oh .. you can use as they are of course but the patterns and layers are what attracted me.

I went through my stash of Outlines yesterday and counted 56 ... so guess I can honestly say ... I LOVE OUTLINES
and I am so excited to get started.

So wish me luck and Please keep coming back to see what I come up with .. my first assignment will be EASTER !!!!

Stop over at their website and have a boo .. Outlines Rubber Stamps ... You will fall in love with their Images ...

Speaking of LOVE ... Happy Valentines Day to everyone !!!!!!

DD's Fave Color

This was made for my DD. Her fave color is pink and this is just for her. I used my Outlines Rubber Stamp called Heart Tatoo and embossed it with silver EP. Colored in a few of the spaces with my copic and added some stickles. The stamp was stamped once on white and once on pink CS and cut out. There are alot of rhinestones on the heart to give it some added bling !!!!!

My First Easel Card ...

This is my first easel card and I love it. I am not sure I love the image I chose but the fold is so simple and yet looks so ceative !! I followed the tutorial off of SCS and it can be found here if you wanna give it a go ... It is by Beate and super simple to follow.

FS155 @ SCS

This is a very late upload. It is Karen B Barbers FS special day over at SCS. I chose this card to case .. I changed the colors and Dp and ribbon but pretty much kept all else the same. She has an amazing gallery and it was very hard to chose a card.

My Hubby's Very First Card Ever !!!!

My Dear Husband made me this Anniversary Card .. He spent 3 weeks planning and hiding and scoffing stuff out of my Card room LOL .. He even used the Cuttlebug with a Nestability .. asked for a few insructions and off he snuck .. it was spread all over the pool table and covered .. I was forbidden to peek .. and I didn't.

He even made a purchase off Ebay for some little voice recorder thingy's that he recorded "If I Could Save Time In A Bottle" on ... so when I open it... it sings to me... I was very impressed with his first attempt ever !!!! Oh and it weighs about 2 pounds LOL .. He is Awesome !!!!!

Pretty Poinsetta's

I made this card tonight for my Manager .. I love it. It was made with my new Outlines stamps. 3 different size poinsetta's embossed in gold on shimmery white card stock and popped up on each level placed over the hollyberries in the back ground also embossed in gold. Then I colored in the leaves and berries with copics and crayola mark it markers. I used little tiny gold seed size blingy things in the middle of the poinsetta's.

I really like how it turned out... hope you like it too :)

Made with my most favorite Santa stamp from Rubber Stampede and all the paper is from CTMH ...
