Keep It Simple Sometimes

I have spent the entire day cleaning out my stamp room, rearranging the

new papers, stamp pads and ribbon. I was determined to make one card

before I went to bed. I just love this new Level 1 Hostess set called "Because

I Care". I decided to after trying to add ribbon and such to the card to just

keep it simple. The flower just pops out although the lighting is not great

on the card. I used my blender pen with Certain Celery and Old Olive.

I may repost tomorrow and see if I can get a better picture. I

hope you had a great day. It's getting ready to storm here.

Just For You

This was the last card I made last night. I am loving all

the new Sneak Peak items that I ordered from SU. It has

been really hard not to play with them today as I am

seriously cleaning out all the retired items and re-

arranging everything again so it flows better. I have to say

I am having a really hard time letting go of some of my

retired items. It's a good thing no one is up there in the

stamp room with me because I have been talking to my

self a lot about keeping or getting rid of. I think I have a

little angel on one shoulder and a little devil on the other,

each whispering in my ear. Keep! Get Rid Of! Keep! Get

Rid Of! What's a stamper suppose to do, I ask you? So

back to the card...(sorry for the drift). I used the flowers from

the Blissful Bride in the Summer Mini and of course the beau-

tiful paper from new catty called Greenhouse Gala. Hope you

are having a great day.

Come On and Peak Again!

Love the new DSP and this one is called "Greenhouse Gala" which

I am so in love with. Baja Breeze is back and I couldn't wait to use it

so I pulled out this paper and went to work. I decided that I will redo

the card and put the flower image from the Awash with Flowers set on

the Baja Breeze print. So stay tuned. There might be a few more cards

coming today.

It's Saturday and Come Sneak A Peak!

This is another card using the apples from the Studio Sketches

set. I used Crystal Effects on the apples which I cut out twice and

then used Dimensionals to raise the image. The "thank you" is

from the Level 1 Hostess set, "Because I Care". The card and the

1/8" Taffeta ribbon are Early Espresso.

My DH is at work today so I have had a chance to play with

some of the new stamp sets available next month in the new

SU catalog. I love all the new colors and this Cherry Cobbler

paper just pops against the white. The Kraft, oops, I mean the

Crumb Cake tones it down. The apple image comes from a set

called Studio Sketches and the words come from a new Level

1 Hostess set called "Because I Care"!

Pals Paper Arts Inspired Challenge 45

This is my card for the PPA this week. I love the colors of

Ruby Red, Mellow Moss, So Saffron, Black, and Very Vanilla.

The inspiration came from this picture they posted.

Sharing a Friend's Talent

This card was done by my good friend Carol Flach, who actually

use to be my boss before she retired!!! She took up stamping

and I am in awe of her creations every time she shares them with

me. So I asked her if she would mind if I put a few on my blog and

she sent me some. So here is one that I just loved. She brayered and

did some direct to paper technique on this one.
