Peonies

I haven't been able to get down the steps to see my peony

bush which is loaded with buds. So when my daughter

Katie was home on Sunday, took a few pictures for me. These

beautiful flowers are only around for a couple of weeks so you

have to enjoy them while you can. I think I need to call Stampin

Up and tell them they need to design a peony stamp!!! Well the

Yankees are beating Detroit so far and American Idol is on. I

wonder who is going home.

Mojo Monday

Well I know it's Tuesday but there are soooooo many challenges out

there and I think I have to do them all!!! NOT. But I would like to.

Okay this card started out entirely different but ended up kind of stark

and I think that's okay. Sometimes less is more I hear. So I used the

Watercolor Trio from the new Summer Mini. I was thinking of our

state tree which is the Dogwood and tried to capture that idea but

this is how it turned out. I hope you are having a great day!

Very Thankful

This Pals Paper Art challenge was a real challenge for me. I think

because there were just too many choices and I have a problem with

that! lol So I have been thinking about this one for a few days and

had several ideas that didn't work out. I kind of like this one. It's

definitely a little different and now that I look at it, I'm thinking

maybe a few bits of glitter here and there would have made it pop

a little more. What do you think? I hope you are having a great day.

Pearls and Swirls

For this week's Late Night Stamper's challenge, they

wanted us to use swirls and pearls. Since I am confined

to the downstairs and can't get to all my stamping supplies

(which are upstairs in the STAMP room) I am limited in

what I have to use. I found some swirls in the Melon Mambo

DSP and as I was racking my goofy brain trying to think of

something different, I spotted the Totally Tool set and came

up with this little number along with a saying from the

Favorite Thoughts set that is in the new Summer Mini

Catalog.

I couldn't believe it when Melissa Carr, one of my very

talented stampin buddies gave me this award. It sure does lift

enough of your work to honor you. So I am suppose to bestow

this award on 12 people that inspire me. There are so many

they inspire me and keep me going.

If The Shoe Fits!

This is my entry for the Mojo Monday challenge this

week. I have had this set, Humor in High Heels, for a

long time and decided to use it today. I cut all the little

shoes out and put glitter on the bows and on one pair of

shoes. I used the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP because I

thought the print had a little bit of Regal in it. I used

Crushed Curry and Melon Mambo to complete my colors.

Another Challenge

This was a challenge for the Late Night Stampers. I used

the set "For All You Do" with Basic Gray and Summer Sun

colors. I really like the way it turned out and the new Square

Lattice Embossing Folder is ooh la la! Love it.
