Nature's Silhouette

Today is another sad day and I would ask that you continue to pray for my friends, Teri, Ruth, and Marlene. Cancer is such a terrible disease and I wish they could come up with a cure for all kinds of it. I have lost 3 sibblings and so many other relatives and friends that have had cancer or other forms of it and I am so saddened by these events. Sometimes I feel like howling like the wolf below.(or screaming)

Here is my first card from the April class. I am sad to see that this set is retiring but hopefully they will replace it with something just as good. It is hard to find good stamps for male cards.

Card Recipe:

Stamp sets: Natures Silhouette and God's Blessings

Card stock: Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Mocha Morning DSP

Ink: Soft Suede

Accessories: Modern Label punch, Word Window punch, Crumb Cake seam binding, and dimensionals

Thanks for stoppin' in,

Stamping hugs,

Countryside

Happy leap day!! I have been preparing for my Calendar Class on Saturday and completely forgotten to post for a few days. Sorry about that. Sometimes I just get carried away creating and forget everything else.

We have gotten lots of rain in the last few days and our mountains are very white. It is a beautiful sight from 20 miles away. We are supposed to get more rain tonight and tomorrow so it's a good time to stay home and create. I love it!!

This is another card from the February card class. I love the antique look. Everyone had fun doing this one a little different. It is amazing how it changes the looks just by tearing the paper a little different or placing it in a different way on the card. So much fun!!!!

Cardstock: River Rock 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and 1 1/4 x 3; Cajun Craze 4 x 5 1/4; Well Worn DSP 4 x 4; Very Vanilla 3 x 4 and a scrap for the sentiment

Ink: Basic Gray and Cajun Craze

Accessories: Big Shot with the Movers and Shapers die with the Modern Label insert; Modern Label punch, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, So Saffron, Basic Gray, River Rock and Crumb Cake crayons and blender pen; Dimensionals; sponge;

Hope you like this as much as we did.

Thanks for stoppin' in and I'll see you soon.

Happy Stamping,

Uncharted Territory

By the Sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea. You and me, you and me oh how happy we'll be!!! Remember that song, every time I do a card with a boat or lighthouse I think of that song. It is very true, I am happy by the sea even though I am about 15 miles inland from it. I love going down to Shelter Island (in the bay) and watch the boats come and go and have a great lunch at the Red Sail In. What a way to spend the day!!

Now to get on with the job at hand. Here is the next card from January's class. Pretty simple to do but it will make a nice birthday card for one of my sons or brothers. I also have a very good friend who lives on a lake in Michigan and she collects lighthouses, so I am sure she would appreciate this card also.

Card Recipe:

Stamp sets: Uncharted Territory and God's Blessing

Card Stock: Whisper White 4 1/4 x 11, 3 x 4 and a scrap; Marina Mist 4 x 5 1/4; Basic Gray 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 and a scrap;

Accessories: Real Red, Marina Mist and Basic Gray Markers; 1/16 hole punch; Modern Label and the Word Punch; Silver brads and dimensionals

Thanks for stoppin' in and I'll see you tomorrow.

God's Blessings

I love the new incolors. They are so compatible with our core colors as well as with each other. The names are too awesome!

Tomorrow is my Big Shot class and I have another one on Tuesday. Looking forward to helping my customers who have bought Big Shots know how to use each accessory. I have some great cards and projects for them and they will have some time to just play with my products. Should be a great day all around.



For this card I used one of the new incolors and some new ribbon. The color is Lucky Limeade and the ribbon is the incolor ruffled ribbon in Lucky Limeade. Base card is Peach Parfait 4 1/4 x 11. Lucky Limeade is the next layer and is 4 x 5 1/4. The dsp is the Peach Parfait and is 3 3/4 x 5. Sentiment is from God's Blessings and cut with the Scallop Circle Punch. Flowers are Lucky Limeade punched with the Boho Blossoms punch. My customers were so happy I made the bows for them.

Hope this inspires you to create.
Thanks for stoppin in and I'll see you soon.
