Hello all and happy Sunday.  It's a beautiful and warm sunny day here in Sactown.  This is a card I came up with for a Stamp a Stack I did with my friend Tracy in late January.  I used Twitterpated fabric from the mini catalog on the base, and stamped with the Bordering on Romance set on the Conffetti white cardstock.  Kind of sweet, I was thinking Valentine's day but with the option for using it any other time as well.







Here's a close up of the detail.  I punched the heart out and ran it through the big shot using the Petals a Plenty embossing folder, then painted the center of the flowers using the smooch paint that I believe is being discontinued so get it while it's hot. Oh, and FYI, I found that glueing the fabric worked best with a glue stick.  Some sewing might be cuter but I don't have a machine. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday everyone!  It's such a lovely day I should be outside, but here I am playing on the computer instead.  It's so nice now that I have uploaded all of my photo's to be able to sit down and create a post whenever I want. 

  This is the card I made for my hubs for the big V-day.  It's not a very good pic, I should have gotten an up close shot of the heart.  I stamped and embossed it from a very old Stampin' Up hostess set, it says "Lovey Dovey".  I embossed it on some metallic purple cardstock a very good friend had given me for Christmas one year.  The background CS is just something I picked up somewhere, the black design is flocked and I thought it spoke for itself so I didn't want to do too much to it.  I layered it over some Perfect Plum and the base is just Whisper White.  The ribbon is from a spool of Purely Pomegranate satin ribbon I've been hoarding because it's discontinued (I must love him if I used it on his card...he better not have thrown it out!).  I hope you like it!

Alrighty folks, it's been awhile.  This is why I took so long to start a blog, because I knew I would let life get in the way of my posting regularly.  Well, I now have a backstock of photo's to post from.  This does mean however that you might see some Christmas stuff in the middle of summer, but I guess that's how I role.

These two lovely tags I'm actually proud of, that doesn't always happen for me.  Sometimes I work so hard on something that by the time I'm finished I can't stand to look at it anymore.  Anyway, I made these to go with the teacher gifts I made for my boys teachers for Valentine's day.  I used scraps for various places, I'm pretty sure the designer paper is from a discontinued Stampin up set, as is the jack in the box stamp and the die cut I used for the heart.  I had more close up picks but my computer isn't cooperating at the moment.  Enjoy!
