Flowers & Flourishes (If You Could Just Keep one?)


Yay! I love Flourishes. And I love my Doodle This set. I always tell my craft girls, If They took all my stamps away, (and that would take a Uhaul *Chuckle*) And I could only keep 1. I would have to say it would be Doodle This! What Would be your set, If you could just keep one?


For this card I used my SU Sets Doodle This & Looks Like Spring. SU White Craft pad. Chocholate Chip Ink and CS. And SU CS Summer Sun. I used some white ribbon i got from Hobby Lobby. I love there 1/2 off sales! WOOHOO! And

Blue Roses


I have come to realise that i LOVE 2 step stamps. They put so much POP into a card. Especially when ya add a little glider. WOW BLING !POP!


I made this card with my Grandmother in mind. I haven't seen her in a year in a half. I am making it apoint to go visit this year.. She lives in Upstate NY. And the best time to go is Fall. The trees are VERY colorful. I wanted to use bright colors for this card Because my Gram has a Very Bright personality! I hope she loves this card and She knows how much I love her!




For this card I used a Stamp set from CTMH. Rose Garden.
For the inks SU's Buckaroo Blue, Bashful Blue, Old Olive And Summer Sun! The Papper is Summer sun, Whisper white and Old Olive.
I also added a little white glider with my SU's 2 way glue pen.
I hope you enjoy my Very Cheerful card for my Gram!

BLOG CANDY !

Nikki is having BLOG CANDY @ HER PLACE (blogspot)!

My First Challenge!

WoW! my first Challenge! My Best Friend Nikki, (You can visit her Blog: Military Wife Stamping Spot) Sent me a link to No Time To Stamp Challenge #23. She thought it was right up my alley. She was right! The Challenge was to use Flourishes. I LOVE Flourishes! I could Flourish all day long!

For this Card I used SU Sets Doodle This & Fabulous Flowers.
I Embossed my Big Fabulous Flower in Winter Wonderland. And Then I mixed Winter Wonderland and Copper Embossing powders together. It gave the Winter white the brownish copper effect i needed. I used SU's Chocolate Chip ink For all my stamping. I got this ribbon in the 1$ bin at Micheal's yesterday. I couldn't wait to use it! I based all my colors off this ribbon. I also used a pearl from my SU's Pretties Kit. I hope you like my first challenge! Please leave me a comment to LMK whatya think!
TFL!

I'm going to send this card to my Mom. She just had all new teeth put in a few days ago. I think this card will Dare her to Be Fabulous with her new Smile!
