FOR THE NEWLYWEDS

Hi Stampers!

On Saturday, the daughter of our dear friends is getting married....and so this evening I sat down and made her a quick card. Her tastes are simple but elegant and so I wanted to make a card that was also simple and elegant....and here is what I came up with....
I started by stamping the big swirl from the Baroque Motifs stamp set with black on a half sheet of white....then I covered the entire front of the card with a quarter sheet of vellum (that is why the edges of the card look blurry). Then all I did was take a small piece of white cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot using an embossing folder and layered that with a piece of black cardstock. I put a scrap of white organza ribbon with a knot around the entire thing and attached it to the vellum with dimensionals. The sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.....stamped on white with black ink, punched with the large oval and layered on black cardstock that was punched with the scallop oval. EASY PEASY!!!

It must admit that it looks much better in real life. One of these days, I might have to cash in my white box that I take pictures in for something a wee bit better....but it works for now.

Well....I need to clean up my stuff and get to bed. I hope you are having a good week.....and hopefully tomorrow or Friday I can post my stamp clubs' swap cards.

Until next time, find some time for stamping!!

Blessings..........Cindy

GET WELL CARD & HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!

Hi Stampers!!

Today is BEAUTIFUL!!! The sun is brightly shining and it's warm!!!! The last few days it has been foggy and cold!! So this beautiful sunshine is like medicine to my "old" bones!!! But unfortunately this sunshine is not to last.....a storm is suppose to be blowing in sometime this evening or tomorrow. Thankfully I LOVE rain.....it's the fog that makes me batty.

I wanted to show you the feminine get well card that we made at Stamp Club on Monday. It is based on this card, and this card from Karen Graff-Povis (her blog).....changed up just a bit. I like the white on white....and the Elegant Eggplant paper and ink just makes it pop!
Today is also my mother's birthday! So tonight we are all getting together for dinner at this place called Big Bubba's BBQ. I have not been, but they are known for their FANTASTIC ribs. I'm not a big rib eater, but I'll gnaw on some tonight just for my mom!!! They also have a mechanic bull for folks to ride. The kids want to ride it....not sure you'll see me on there though.....I'm kind of a chicken and not into self-inflicted injuries. But I will certainly enjoy watching other family members risking their lives :-)

Madison is in the process of making a card and she keeps telling me "Don't look!", so when she gets done, and she lets me see it, I'll be sure to take a picture and post it.

Well, I better get going. Until next time, find some time for stamping!

Blessings to you........Cindy
