Old Card Updated

I made this card when Abundant Hope came out.  Without getting out my old catalogs I can't remember when that was!  This was used in one of my workshops.

I came across 4 sets of supplies that were left over from then.  I decided to use 4 current sets to use up those supplies.


This one uses the Madison Avenue set found in the Sale-a-bration brochure.  I embossed the background with the Vine Street embossing folder, also in the SAB brochure.



Here I used Million-Dollar Moments, a hostess set from the Spring catalog.


 And here we have Secret Garden from the Spring catty.  The flower was cut with the matching framelit.  So easy!


Serene Silhouettes comes from the 2012-2013 catalog.  I love the beautiful images in this set.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Little Spring would be Bloomin' Marvelous!


I made this card last week for one of the challenges (can't remember which one now) but life got in the way and I never got it posted.  It looks so springy!  Today it is so cold and we got enough snow last night to get us a snow day, so this card really makes me wish for May or at least April.   I used Bloomin' Marvelous which is free with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration (going on now until Mar. 22).  It is a fun set.  DSP is from the Print Poetry paper stack in the Spring catalog.  Love this set of papers!

Thanks for stopping by!

I was going for a nice masculine card using the sketch from The Paper Players.  Not completely happy with it.  I just got the set Blue Ribbon not too long ago and decided to ink it up today.  The dsp is from the Print Poetry paper stack found in the Spring catalog.  The Natural Trim ribbon is from the same catalog.

Thanks for looking!

There was a nice surprise in my email this morning!  My card shown here, was chosen as one of the top 3!  Thanks so much, ladies!

We have a snowday here today.  So I am going to try to do some more challenges.

MDSM5


Love this simple sketch from MDS Monday.  Of course, my favorite thing to scrap these days is my granddaughter, Katie!  This 2-photo sketch was perfect for the 2 pics I took of her when she had her first bath at home.  She still is not too fond of her bath except for getting her hair washed.  She doesn't seem to mind that at all.

Thanks for stopping by,

My card today uses the sketch from Create with Connie and Mary.


Oh Hello is a beautiful set from the Spring catalog.  It has coordinating ovals collection framelits.  You can purchase both in a bundle and save %15!   The dsp is Print Poetry, which comes in a 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" stack.  I love the beautiful prints!  I finished the card with some gumball green ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!

STB #2


I finally found some time to stamp for fun.  It has been way too long.  I chose the sketch from Seize the Birthday.  This week we were to make a masculine card.  I think the images from  Feeling Sentimental (available Jan. 22 from the Sale-a-Bration brochure) work great for a manly card.  Comfort Cafe dsp is nice for men, also.  The sentiment comes from Pretty Petites and is punched out with the Petite Curly Label punch.  Both the stamp set and punch can be found in the SAB brochure.

We are planning to go to Columbus this weekend to see our new granddaughter, Katie!  I am so excited!  Wished we lived a lot closer to her.


Thanks for stopping by!
