BE MINE, VALENTINE

OK....here's the second card that we made on Monday at my monthly stamp club. It is a simple card....but I LOVE it!!

I'm absolutely LOVING the new Edgelits that came out in the Occasions Mini catalog....along with the coordinating stamp set Apothecary Art.

The sentiment is from the cute a la carte stamp Candy Conversations.

I colored the image using markers....I used Blush Blossom for the flowers and Certainly Celery for the leaves. I stamped it using Crumb Cake classic ink.

THANKS for popping in!!!

Until next time....find some time for stamping!!

Hugs, Cindy

A CHEERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today I'm sharing with you a card that we are going to be making tomorrow at my monthly stamp club. It was inspired by a card that I saw online. The original card was a Make-n-Take from the Stampin' Up! leadership conference that just took place in San Antonio, TX...and it was so cute I just had to case it!

I changed it up just a tad....what do you think?

It think it turned out adorable.....I was ready for some spring colors too.

I'll be back later in the week to show you the second card that we will be making....it's a Valentine.

Well, that's it for me today.....I have some cleaning up to do in my stamp studio so that it's presentable for my ladies.....creativity sure can be messy :-)

Until next time....find some time for stamping!!

Hugs, Cindy

First Day of HOME SCHOOL

Sorry I have been so hit and miss in my posts....but aside from health issues, we've also been getting enrolled and all set up for our children to "attend" online high school at home. We are VERY EXCITED (and equally scared!) about this. We home schooled them up to 6th grade and then put them in school.....and are now bringing them home again. Today was their first day! I think it will be GREAT!!! I'm excited for them.

I plan on trying to get into my stamp studio and getting some stamping done....but there just hasn't been time. Maybe tomorrow ;-)

Until next time, find some time for stamping (I know I'm going to try)

Hugs, Cindy

SWEET HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Today's card is one that I made using the new Framelits and Edgelits from Stampin' Up! They are GREAT!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!! The image is from the new Apothecary Art stamp set that is new in the Occasions Mini catalog.

I think this card is so sweet looking.

Here's the card closed.....I put a piece of Very Vanilla on the inside to highlight the edge.....

Here's an up close of the image.....I used markers to color it....

Well, that's it for me today.

Our children are at a church retreat until Saturday night....my husband is in his garage with a friend taking the stereo out of the boat.....so I'm going to spend a quiet night stamping!!! Yeah for me!!!

Until next time, find some time for stamping!!

Hugs, Cindy
