I was cleaning/re-organizing my stamp room yesterday and found some extra packets left over from a stamping class that I had years ago. I decided to make up one for fun. This is the magic card that I came up with.

The stamps are from "Little Cowboy". I colored with watercolor crayons and a white gel pen.

Gerbera Daisy

I apologize once again for the bad scan...my scanner really doesn't like anything with the slightest bit of lumpiness to it, and that button is pretty thick.

My idea for this card was CASEd from another card on the PTI blog. I changed it some, but not a whole lot. The ladies who do things on that blog are SOO creative.

Stamps: Gerbera Daisy, Running Stitches, and With Sympathy (all TAC)
Accessories: Noir Palette Ink, Black scrappers floss, Scor=pal, Red line tape, button from TAC, Sanding Block, Cloud Scissors, and watercolor pencil with blender pen.

Showers of Love 1

I CASED this card from one I saw on PaperTreyInk. I changed it quite a bit, but the basic idea is the same.

I used "Showers of Love" and "Ordinary Greetings"
I used TACs retired Luscious Lops ink, paper piercing, gingham ribbon, pop dots, and a paper corregater. It looks better IRL, but the pop dots made the scan a little funny.

Little Cowboy


I received a package I was waiting for in the mail today from my MARVELOUS friend Diana. I wasn't expecting the extra goodies that she packed inside...one of them was this cute, cute little stamp, (she knows I LOVE High Hopes images), I had wanted this little guy, but hadn't been able to get him yet, so I was super excited. I had to sit down and make a quick card with him right away, with my boys coloring their own as well.
While stamping I ended up with ink on my fingers, and, not knowing I did, almost ruined to total image...but, with a little more sponging than I might have done otherwise, I think it came out ok.

Supplies:
Stamp: Clarabelle And Riley (High Hopes) and What's Moo (TAC-for saying and cow spots)
Paper: White, black (Walmart), and blue (DCWV)
Ink and Accessories: Palette Noir and Burnt Umber, watercolor pencil and blender pen, edge distresser, paper piercer and plastic canvas, sponge

True Beauty Limited Supply


I made this card for a challenge on PaperWings. We had to use one stamp, ribbon, brads, and punches. We could not use patterned paper.

I stamped this twice and cut out one of the butterflies. It's wings are pop dotted up, and gives depth to the card. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder and the threading water border punch. To color I used watercolor pencils and blender pen.

It is simple, but I like it.

Brandon's Book

I have a new project up on Mischelle's blog. You can go and see it HERE.

I actually made TWO of these books in a little over an afternoon. The other one I made for my friend Danielle who is adopting the cutest little boy Austin (who I was able to meet at a Church camp last week). These go together sooo easily, yet are just too cute, so they make wonderful gifts. I am not sure where I first saw one of these, but I was told that there is a tutorial on Splitcoast.

Little Girl


I made this card to show friends paper piecing. The dress is the same paper as the top yellow piece. I colored with watercolor pencil and blender pen.
The stamp sets I used are "You Are" and "Boyz and Girlz"
