Artfully Asian Blocked Card

Love, love, love this card layout. Turns out my last round Secret Little Sis was helpful in creating this layout here is a link back to her card. And thank you again for making "pool boy" sound so hilarious to me. It was a Sketch Challenge 99 on SCS you can take this link and check out how it is done and see other cards with the same layout. I used black, rose red and very vanilla card stock. To color the flowers I used the blender pen and chalk (I am getting to like coloring images, still need more practice.) Thanks to my Sister for lending me some Aqua painters and a blender pen and thanks to Barb for loaning me the Artfully Asian set, ( I had tons of fun with it). This card was actually made on our last Sister Stamp day was a lot of fun. You can tell by my distressed Card Stock, glad I have that problem worked out

TOOT, TOOT!

TOOT, TOOT (the sound of me honking my horn as my friend Wanda pointed out that Sara's Studio was Ranked #1 for top 50 stamping sites). I am still dancing around, thank you Wanda for pointing this out for me. Go check out Wanda at My Creative Corner she always has wonderful ideas her most recent post shows a great Box made from a single sheet of card stock.

You can click on the large button at the bottom of this page to see who is making the list.

Thanks to all of you who check in with Sara's Studio.

Shoe Box Swap cards

Last week was the first time in a few months we have gotten the shoe box swap night going. As always it was a great time, and I learned new things so that is always wonderful along with being given the Simply Said stamp set (still in shock) thank you Amy!

This first card was my card I put together using the glitter window and small snowflake and sentiment stamps from Penny Black.

This next card was brought by Barb, along the right hand side of the CS she showed us how to use the Crop-a-dile to make fake brads, (I think this is really cool). And I have this stamp set on my wish list as well, I just love all the cards I have seen that use this set, so Elegant. Thanks Barb for a great card!

Amy brought this next card using the Simply Said Set (love it, and thank you again for your generosity.) Such striking colors (pumpkin pie and summer sun).

Believe it or not Vol. 2

I think this one hits home because of the troubles my DD is having with her knees. I did not realize it happens this way...

Babies are born without kneecaps They don't appear until the child
reaches 2 to 6 years of age.

Believe it or not

Got an email from a friend this AM it was called believe it or not. Because of my lack of tools yesterday to complete my challenge card I thought this tid bit would be good for today.

Leonardo Da Vinci invented the scissors.

I love Leonardo, smart man he did much to change our world. I researched him once for one of my posts to this blog. This site is worth checking out. I feel much like him sometimes do a lot but not complte much. (That should be my motto for my crafting life, can't tell you how many half way done projects I have.) Anyway here is a link back to that post. Leonardo Da Vinci Follow this link to learn more...Museum of Science

Gone Old School

Okay Wanda (you know who you are) this post is for you. She emailed me yesterday about the SC on splitcoast I said I was having a hard time because I don't have anything but a small circle punch (used on my glitter window cards). So I thought about it checked the gallery and went old school with pencil, scissors and my DD's fave drinking cup. (I got a tad wonky circle but if you don't look very close it is fine.) I love all of the bling on this card and there was not much stamping just the simple word, SWEET. It will make a good Thank You card when needed. The DP's are from Hobby Lobby, flower and brad form C.Keepsakes, scallop circle from Wish Rak and there you have my SC136 challeng card Old School style.
