SCS300 Scary Halloween


I made this card with the SCS300 sketch challenge. Although I cannot download to SCS as SCS says it is too big. I have had this problem for ages with SCS .. I have finally sent them a message to see what the problem is. It uploads fine everywhere else.
I love how it turned out .. I used a very shiny silver cardstock so it was a little hard to get a good pic...but with some enhancing ..I think this turned out pretty ok.
Hope you like it :)

ABC Anything Chocolate !! on PCP


I made this for a challenge on PCp called Anything but cute, Anything Chocolate. We were to use brown and one other color. I chose Blue. It was another challenge I had for myself .. to use what I already have .. no more purchases .. (I am saving myself for shopping in Vegas at the end of the month) It is hard ... I haven't even made a purchase at Michaels .. and they have tons of new punches in ... I am so strong LOL ... not .. I have gone in and peeked .. but resisted.

To Busy ????


I just think this paper is a little busy .. it is so pretty though .. I used my SU set called Always in my Thoughts ... will try another with it I guess ...

Ma-Tater-Tots is Almost 2


I made this card for my little grandson Matteo .. he is giving his Mommy some hissy fits these days ... How come now I think it is cute LOL ... he is so darn adorable and pretty much anything he does is cute to me. This Mo Manning stamp was bought for just this occasion .. he is 20 months old this month .. How I love that BOY !!! Hissy fits and all....

Another Easel Card


This is made with a stamp set from Flourishes called Summer Botanicals .. such a pretty set .. I paper pieced the flower pot with the matching background DP. used a CB die for the corners and an EK success paper punch for the botom.
Hope you like it :)

Technique Tuesday

I have had this set since 08 from TT .. never seen ink .. I am trying to use what I have right now ...my own personal challenge. Sometimes I think the addiction takes over and we keep buying and buying and hoarding LOL ... time to put some of it to use I say !!!

I love how the octagon nestie fit perfectly into the Renaissance heart nestie .. I just flicked the little heart bits over the octagon and it was a very cool discovery for me LOL.
Hope you like .....

Close To My Heart


I have had these cute little stamps from CTMH .. (the set is called Beautiful Day) ....for over a year now and they had never seen ink !!! So I made this card .. the little squares are inchies and I added some bling from the $ store ... There are 36 little stamps in the set .. very nice ...

Shirley's 2 Girls

A SCS Case ....



I cased this card from a lady on SCS ...Reddyisco ... hers just jumped out at me and is beautiful. I did change it up abit by adding the bermuda bay SU CS .. and using a CB panel and changed the sentiment .. but the main image is what I cased.
Hers can be seen here.


ABC Anything Cocolate


Here is another little round card I made for the ABC Challenge over at PCP .. Anything Chocolate. I used SU chocolate chip and a touch of green .. we were to use brown and one other color. again with my Zenspiration Stamps from American Art Stamps.


Purple Zen ..



This little card was just a little quickie I threw together .. I really love these Zenspiration Stamps from American Art Stamps ..


WOW ... I won Runner UP !!!!



I joined a group on PCP called Anything But Cute .. being as I am so serious and all :) .. This card was made for week#8 challenge Anything That Grows in Dirt.. I used my Pocket Silhouettes from SU and Brocade Blue ink and CS .. I really like how clean and pretty this card turned out .. and so did the gals at PCP ... It came in as Runner Up ... YEAH !!!!


I am so not Funny LOL ....


So my DH says to me one day ... You never make any funny cards ...and I thought ... yeah ...you are right. So in an attempt to be a little funny ... I used this little cow in a bikini from TAC .. Is this as funny as I get ????
Think I need more stamps now ... all his fault hehehe ...



This card was made for a friend of mine from work ... Dina .. she was married on July 10, I actually used my Cricut for the second time I think .. so that works out to be about 125.00 per heart on this card LOL .. I also used some real pretty paper .. not sure who it is by (it was for the Slice machine ) but it just screamed "WEDDING " to me.... This is supposed to look like a Tux and a Wedding Gown sorta .... kinda

Camera Grief !!!

Ok ...I use an old Kodak EasyShare camera.. I have for years now and I love it.. I know how to work it and I know how to get my pics to upload... WEEEELLLLLLLLL lately for some reason it is giving me grief .. I am so sad .. it is making my pics to big to upload to SCS ..all of a sudden for some reason...

I do have a lovely new Fuji Finepix S1000 ..but I cannot for love nor money get a clear close up shot!!!! They are either to yellow or they are blurry... I can take pics inside or outside no problem .. but a close up .. forget it ...ggggrrrrrr I am so frustrated with these darn cameras.

If anyone has any pointers... please feel free to leave a comment ... I am taking them both into my girl friend (a camera crazy lady photographer) tomorrow and see if she can give me any tips .. I have read the instruction booklet ...for the new one over and over again ... and from pushing all the buttons I most likely have it really mucked up LOL ....

Have a camera happy evening to all the ladies happily uploading to SCS worry free tonight :)

My Fave card To date... I think :)




This card was done as a Z Fold.. I love it !! I love the Vintage Vogue set from Stampin Up .. it is so versatile and pretty. This card is for a dear Lady that sits next to me at work, she has taken another position in the company, in another office and she will be dearly missed.
I cased a card by 'clairee' on SCS ... your can see hers here. It is a real beauty.
Hope you like it!!!



SC284 Over Done ...


This card was made with the lovely Vintage Vogue from Stampin Up .. I think it is my new favorite .. I kinda over did the flowers and it is kinda not my favorite card.. but the next one I put up is ... look up .. :)

MMSC59 , My First Time






Well I have decided to bite the bullet and do a challenge with the Midnight Madness Gang. I have always been very intimidated by all the beautiful cards I see by the DT members and all the players. The cards are always so amazing. Sooooooooooo here is my first card ever entered in the challenge.
I used a gorgeous stamp from Sweetpea Stamps called Bamboo Serenade. The artist is ching chou kuik , and I am totally hooked on her fairies. I just wish I had a little more talent in the coloring area. For this one I used all chalks. Hope you like it :)
