It's That Time of Year

It is that time of year when things settle down into their old routine.  School, Scouts and crafts around here.  With the arrival of fall I am currently preparing for a craft fair which will be held in November.  I know it might sound like it is a little early but I want to be prepared this year.  I would like to have more diversity in my card offerings than I had last year.  As a bonus my mom will be making knitted scarfs to sell so I am super excited. 

These are some of the ones you can expect to see. 

As you can see I love the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set.  See how different you can make the card by just using one stamp set? 

I hope to be able to post more of the card that will be available as well as the cards for my upcoming Make and Takes. 

Until then, I hope you enjoy the beginning of fall!

Father's Day 2013

I have truly been blessed with such a loving and wonderful father.  My husband is a great father who was raised by a great father.  To honor them on Father's Day I made a special card for each. 

 This one I used the Paper Pumpkin kit from March and added the Happy Father's Day sentiment.  It was so easy since the Paper Pumpkin kit is already color coordinated and comes with the stickers.  All I needed to do was stamp and stick. 

I used Blue Ribbon, Clockworks and a stamp in the First kit from Paper Pumpkin.

I used the blocking technique and Delightful Dozen for this card.  

 I couldn't leave it alone so I added some buttons.

This is my precious Patch.  We have had her since she was 2 weeks old and I had to bottle feed her.  She wants to be where ever I am.  I had taken her off my lap so many times that she resorted to here to sleep. 

Happy Father's Day.  I hope you get a chance to enjoy it and stamp!

We have a great friend of the family who fell ill and was in the hospital for a couple of weeks.  This is the card I made him to lighten his mood.  He loved it.  He showed it to all of his visitors and was impressed that the light was still on right before he was released.

Pinterest + MDS = Project Complete

Are you a fan of Pinterest.  I personally LOVE it.  I have found so much inspiration and helpful tips it is amazing.  I found this cute little saying that I wanted to make for my house.  I knew I would most likely not make it.  I don't usually have time for painting, cutting, pasting... not to mention the time it would take for the paint to dry.

Tami Waddell has posted a challenge to her downline to make a home decor item using Stampin' Up product including My Digital Studio!  Immediately I thought of my Pin.  Below is what I entered into the challenge.  I am so happy with it!  Instead of taking days like it would have if I had tried to do the original project it took about an hour.  (To be completely honest it probably would not have taken that long but I am still getting my feet wet with this great program.)

My take using MDS from Stampin' Up

I hope you have a great week and are able to squeeze some time to create!

Is it too early for Mother's Day?

I was working on a card and when it was finished I thought this looks like the perfect card for my mom for Mother's Day.  So now I have to wait to give it to her.  I hope I can wait that long.

Sympathy

A family friend recently had an aunt pass away. This is the card I sent her for her loss.
