Father's Day Sail Boat

Here is a card I made for Father's Day. Love the Swirly Bird stamp set...there is so much you can do with it. The cloud embossing folder is retired (can't remember the name), but I think it works perfectly with this card.

Swirly Bird

I love the new stamp set, Swirly Bird, in the 2016-2017 catalog. It even has matching thinlits! This is one of the cards we made at my June workshop a couple weeks ago. We used the new In Colors. Pretty cute, huh?

You will see lots of cards made with this set...the stamps are very versatile.

A Nice Cuppa...

Hello! We have had some very hot, unusual weather these last couple days. It was in the 100's this last weekend and 90's the first part of the week. We are expecting rain for the next couple days which will be nice for the yard, but not nice for me because my sister and I are going to Bend for some lounging by the pool and girl time. Sad face.

I made this ensemble for Mother's Day. I love this stamp set and matching framelits. Very bummed it did not make it into the new catalog that came out June 1st.

I'm back!

Hi! My computer died a long while ago and I bought a new computer, but it gave me problems most of the time so I just gave up on most things I used to do with it. It died and I got a new one and now I'm slowly getting back into the things I used to do. Which means I'm not getting much of other stuff done.

Anyhow, I have a lot of cards to show you all and now I just need the time to get them posted. Hopefully I can do a couple a week. We will see...my gremlins are just about out of school and probably won't let me "play" much.

The cards I'm showing today are from a workshop I had a couple months ago.

The bike card is from Sale-a-Bration and the set was called Pedal Pusher. I used the blender pens and ink pads to color in the bike/basket. It was a fun set and I like how the card turned out. I CASED (Copy And Share Everything) the balloon card from another demonstrator and I can't remember who, but I saw it on Pinterest. Love the color combo. It uses Gumball Green which is retired, but it's my favorite green and worked well with the other colors. Wink of Stella was used on the bow and bottoms of balloons, but you can't see it in the picture.
