Convention Swaps Round 2!

It's so fun to get out the cards I swapped for at convention and check them all out again! Here's more of the sample cards that I received:
This one is really purple in real life and has lots of sparkle to it...my photos aren't the best today.

The Ronald McDonald set! We got this stamp set FREE at the end of convention! How cool is that?!! For every set that is sold $3.00 is donated to the Ronald McDonald house!

I love the split in this one! I didn't really think I liked this set until I saw this card!

It's hard to see in the photo, but the middle cake is sparkling! Love a little bling!

Love the colors in this one!

My photo doesn't do this one justice...the pink is much more vivid and the shoe stands out better with the emboss resist technique.

The new camping set! I can see lots of scrapbook pages using this one!

One more sample for you today with a card that I made. Again, another sample that I saw on Pinterest that I loved! I love to CASE (copy and share everything) samples from there! I made this as a special birthday card for one of my friends back in SD, but of course couldn't just do one at a time!


And the inside. Wish my photos weren't so washed out today...much prettier in person!
I love the rose in this stamp set and was sad to see it retire this year. I just couldn't bear to part with mine, and have made more cards with it since the new catalog came out. It's so fun to do the reinker spread technique with!
We're off to Reno for Hot August nights this weekend! Can't wait!! Larry is really excited to see all the old cars...brings back lots of memories!
Happy Stampin'!

Work, Work, Work!

Work, work, and more work, leaves little time for playing! As a new teacher this year, I'm spending a lot of time coming up with new ideas and ways to share ideas with kids. I'm loving every minute of it, but it leaves little time for stamping! I have done several classes and have done a little bit of stamping, but not near enough! My fingers are itching to get back at it! Here's a couple of samples of things that I've gotten done...   This one is masked, shaded and then unmasked and stamped with the leaves. Simple design, but fun to do and makes a great guy card...which as you know, can be hard to come up with! I made these with my scrapbook group on Wednesday night, and they loved them! I stamped a leaf in the corner, and then one on the outside of the envelope too. This one I've done before, but just love the design and the technique! To get this neat look, add color to the stamp with the marker first, then spray the watercolor paper with water

Scrapbook on the Walls

I love to scrapbook too! I put a lot of time into the pages I create, and have found that scrapbook frames are a great way to scrapbook on the walls and be able to enjoy those creations before adding them to a book.  I have been working on a gift for my daughter-in-law, whose birthday was last week. I finally finished it yesterday and I'm really excited to get it mailed to her. I used the Six Sided Sampler stamp set, stamped them with the stitched hexagon on scraps of Designer Series Paper in Early Espresso, then dabbed each side on the ink pad to add the dark edge to them. The flowers are cut from the Floral Fusion Sizzlit, also shaded, curled a little to give them some shape and added with a dimensional. Love, love, love the new Expressions Thinlits Dies from the Holiday Catalog! I can see that I will be using them a lot for scrapbook pages and for cards! Pearls, iridescent embossing on the butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri set add a little bling to the page. Matching pun

Thank You!

I've been able to make lots of thank you cards this summer. You see, I've been diagnosed with breast cancer, and through the process, I've had some very kind and giving people. It has humbled me greatly to hear the number of people that are praying for me, and knowing that each prayer is brought before our Mighty King and He hears and answers each one. It makes me very grateful! It has been a different summer than what we had planned, that's for sure! Chemo has not been kind some days, and then other days, I feel "normal" and back to myself again...except for no hair! I'm getting used to wearing hats and scarves, though I still can't get used to the people that look at me like I have something missing. I just try to smile and not let it bother me. Maybe they'll figure it out, and then maybe not.Thank you for the support and love I have felt from my family and friends! I know that I don't fight this battle alone and I cherish each one of you!
