Happy Memorial Day and Thank you to ALL our soldiers.


Well I haven't been doing much lately. A few Birthday cards here and there. But that is it. This weekend on top of getting ready for National Tap Dance Day I had to make graduation invitations for my daughters boyfriend. So I finished them last night and he takes them and hands them out today.
Out of all the stamps I own I didn't have a graduation stamp. Now I have 2.
I used
SU Really Red Paper
The Traffic Jam Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
SU Basic Black Ink

I think they turned out really cute.

Summer is here. I made these cards for a summer swap I was doing.

Here is a quick Birthday Card I made this morning. It is the SU set You Are My Sunshine.


All cardstock and Markers are SU as well. Hopefully I will get some more posted in the next few days as well..

Well today I played with a new stamp. It is one of the hostess sets. "From the Garden" I stamped the image on white card stock with SU Basic Black. I then used the SU Stampin Pastels to shade with. I used colors such as:

Pretty In Pink, Blush Blossom

Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery

Mellow Moss, Sage Shadow

Bashful Blue. Lavender Lace

Glorious Green, Green Galore

Gable Green, Yoyo Yellow

Only Orange, Pink Passion

Pixie Pink, Lovely Lilac

Brilliant Blue, Ballet Blue

Handsome Hunter, Always Artichoke

So Saffron, Regal Rose

Rose Red, Summer Sun

Old Olive, Garden Green



Then I cut them out and glued them on to cardstock all SU. Colors as Pretty in Pink, Groovy Guava, Bashful Blue and Sage Shadow.

Well it is sort of a icky day today. The temp is 66 and it is rainy. Perfect stampin weather. I am making all my mothers day cards. I am using the SU stamp From My Garden. I will post them later. I have a few other swaps to finish and to work on my scripture challenge. This weeks word is Fruit...
Have a great day.

I absolutley love the Cuttlebug. It is so easy to emboss things now.

I hope to get a lot done today. Have a page kit swap to finish and get in the mail plus a few cards. Need to work on mothers day cards and gifts.

I am hoping to get some done a posted. Was hoping the weather would warm up so we could actually get in the pool. The water is still to cold. Clean but cold. It is 63 degrees right now and only expected to get as high as 74 today. Anyway made these cute recipe cards this weekend to send for RAKS. I had the recipes left over from a recipe swap I just finished. So I thought I would add them to a piece of card stock for a RAK.

I used the Cherry stamp from Stampin Up retired set Oh So Sweet. With Real Red and Glorious Green ink on Pretty and Pink cardstock.
