I just adore how bright this paper is! How fun and EASY this card was. The flower is cut from the Bali Breeze dp and the sentiment is a rub on from the Anchored set! Got to love it. The only thing even remotely difficult was the sewing. The layout is from this week sketch challenge on SCS161.
| Stamps: None |
| Paper: Purley Pomegranate, Basic Black and Bali Breeze dp |

Here is a really quick and silly card. The inside says, I get by with a little help from my friends. This is another personal challenge to my self -- I have hundreds of Non Stampin Up! stamps that just never ever get used. I have had this silly image from Image Tree for years and it has never even seen ink. I am challenging myself to use some of these stamps that are hidden away in large pizza boxes (22 of them). Hope you don't mind a little Non Stampin Up! once in a while. Maybe one a week???? I hate to have all of these just sitting around and I can not bear to sell them when I have not even used them, lol!
The object of this card -which was a personal challenge to myself-was to make a Easter card with all current SU sets even though I have no current Easter sets! Hmmm, that took some thinking, lol. But I did it and I kind of like it. What do you think? 
I know it looks like a simple card but there is really a lot going on with it. The little chick is from the Nursery Necessities set. The grass is from the stem in the Time Well Spent set. The pile of eggs and the main sentiment is from Loads of Love Accessories while Happy Spring is from Everyday Flexible Phrases. The base of the card is Wild Wasabi followed by Barely Banana and then a piece of the Blue Bayou dp. The focal image is done on Whisper White and layered on Barely Banana and Wild Wasabi. The scallops on the bottom were made with the scallop circle punch. Sentiment is stamped on Whisper White and punched out with the circle punch and layered on a Blue Bayou circle and than a Barely banana round tab punch left open. The little flowers and the dots are all free hand. Other supplies used were markers and ribbon. This was fun!
Well, this is turning out to be a fun couple of day! NOT! Yesterday late afternoon I lost my internet connection so I could not do anything on line. Well we all know that that can easily put you behind. Well after a couple calls to my carrier we managed to figure out what the problem was and I was back up and running -- but oh so tired, so I decided I would post the new card challenge players in the morning. Well then the storm hit I am have been with out power for most of the day, lol! It's always something! The good news is my son and I have been able to play board games all day long, that was much needed! Anyway, I just wanted to post a few more cards for Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #2. Everyone is doing such an awesome job and this was kind of a hard sketch! Lovin all the samples, hope you are too.
This weeks sketch was a bit more difficult than last weeks but just as fun! Don't forget to comment here if you play along so I can post your sample too. If you upload to SCS please use TSSC2 in the key words so we can see them all at once! Happy creating. 
I am really having a hard time photographing my cards lately. It has been kind of gloomy around here. I think I need to break down and create photo box?? Anyway, this was a fun layout for me. It is the first time I am using the Berry Bliss dp and I love it. The base of the first card is Pretty in Pink followed by a layer of Purely Pomegranate that has the swirls from Baroque Motifs embossed with iridescent ice embossing powder to add a little bling. The large circle is a quarter of an eight inch circle cut from the dp. I added scallops around the edge in Pretty in Pink. Next I added some stitching marks with a Chocolate Chip marker. The focal image is from Fun and Fast Notes. I stamped it on Shimmery White card stock and embossed it in Chocolate Chip. It is colored in using markers and a silver glitter gel pen. It is layered on two scallops circles and finally on a 3 by 3 square of Chocolate Chip. The Forever and Always sentiment is from a Studio G set and is stamped in Chocolate Chip on Close to Cocoa. I added the stitch marks here too. As a finishing touch I added the doubled up Prima flowers with the Pretty in Pink brad. The second card also fits the try a new technique challenge on SCS which can be found here. I wanted to use up the other half of the half circle I cut and I was so excited that this fit perfect with my sketch this week. The base of this card is Close to Cocoa followed by Pretty in pink. The sentiment is from Visual Verve. I drew the lines to add a little interest to the pink, I did not want too much with all the other stuff going on. I added those stitching lines on the quarter circle again too. Hope you like it. Here are the other talented stampers links to what they were able to create with the same sketch! They are beyond wonderful so check them out.Last few links for the last sketch, new sketch will be posted by noon est. Come on back and play. I so enjoying all of these different samples done with one sketch! Thanks to everyone that has played. Please feel free to continue with this sketch when ever it strikes your fancy and comment so I can see. I will not be posting any more with this sketch though!

Boy do I feel better today! Thank you Lord. I am happy to say that I had fun stampin this morning and it seems my MoJo was just playing a little game of hide and seek. Well I am very good at the game, ask my son, so I found it! This card is for todays Limited Supply challenge on SCS. The challenge was to use scraps. Unfortunately I could do this every day for weeks on end all day long with no breaks and still not put a dent into my scrap pile! This is also a sneak peek at one of my future sketchs for my Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge. (this sketch will be way down the road -- since I could not seem to stamp last night I created a few more sketches) The little flowers are popped up and the saying is a rub on! The squares are one inch.

All I can think of when I look at this card is "wanted -- to be able to stamp today" Yikes it was a tough day. Only made two cards and although I like this one better than the last, it is not real what I wanted again. Oh well, we do get days like this and the best thing to do is go to bed and start again in the morning -- right after this post I am doing that!
This weeks challenge was to use the layout on page 141 of the Spring Summer Stampin Up catalog -- the welcome baby card. I had a horrible time trying to get a clear pictures, the horse is not that washed out looking in real life. I used the Wanted and Bronc Buster stamp sets along with the retired Outlaw designer paper. I also used Really Ruse, Sage Shadow, Creamy Caramel card stock. Other supplies: twine, brads, jumbo eyelets, circle punch, scallop circle punch, paper piercer, mat pack. Thanks for lookin, sorry about the bad MoJo day! Don't forget to check out all the other players on my sidebar. I am sure they have wonderful cards to share. Goodnight!

WOW!! This was a tough one for me. The challenge was to use River Rock, Real Red and Bayou Blue. Not my favorite combination, but I guess that is why they are called challenges. All I could think of when I thought of these colors was stars but I wanted to use flower! So that "hard headed --stuck on one thing" person that I am stuck to it and here are my flowers. They were a labor of love to say the least!

| Ink: Real Red, Blue Bayou, Glorious Green |
| Accessories: Hodge Podge Hardware, Build a Brad, ribbon, white gel pen, markers, ruler |
A really simple Valentine! I wish it would have been as simple to get a good picture of it. Sorry. There are six different strips on the white base. The textures really look cool in real life. I love the chocolate chip and regal rose together. Hope you had a great day. See you tomorrow with my Blogger's Challenge card! TTFN!
This is for the Sketch challenge at SCS. I think it turned out pretty cute. I may even use it for my son for his 8th birthday????? I really had fun with this set. The cake and the candle tips are clear embossed. Hope you enjoy.

I can see that this SAB set will be one of my favorite sets. It is sooooo versatile. I cut the center snowflake out of my stamp to create a two step stamp! I mounted the snowflake part on another piece of wood so I can use it separately. I LOVE this set.
This is also for this weeks color challenge on SCS.

Don't you just love this flower? Can you believe you can get this set for free during sale-a-bration. And the best part of this set is that it is die-cut! That's right, just pop the images out and mount them -- ready to stamp in minutes! Everyone at my class last night thought I was crazy when I was actually dancing around the room because I was so excited I did not have to cut out all those scallops! YIPPEEEEE!
| Stamps: So Many Scallops |
| Paper: Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White and Bali Breeze dp |

This was my first try with the rub ons on glass. Not too bad, although I did waste one when I messed it up by not rubbing enough and then could not get it re-set. There is one on the back too. I thought these little jars were so adorable. I got them at AC Moore for $1. I am not sure I am happy enough with it to go get more jars, but it was pretty darn easy. I was thinking teacher gifts for Valentine's. The flower on the top is the new SAB set -- I have more to show you but I am working on 3 hours sleep from last night and I am tired.
This was my feeble attempt at creating a male birthday card that wasn't fishing or hunting or any of those other things that not all men are into. I figure everyone love a cupcake and if I don't jaz it up too much with glitter and other stuff it just may work. This type of card is called a kickstand card. Kind of like the opposite of a tent topper. I have made these before but they did not have an "official" name then, lol. Been a busy day as you can tell -- you should see the mess in my studio! YIKES!

I created this card for the sketch challenge on Beate's blog. I had a horrible time with this card. I don't think it was the layout, but the fact that I was really determine to use the Be Happy set and may have chose too many colors to work with! Anyway after a bit of agonizing I think it turned out ok in the end. What do you think?

This weeks challenge was to use the layout on page 37 of the new Stampin Up! catalog. (save the date card). My first thought was, yikes that is way too basic, lol. But now that the card is done I really like the clean look and the white is kind of refreshing. The colors are all inspired by this ribbon that I have had for way more than a year. I got it on clearance at JoAnn's I just loved the fun colors and knew I would be able to use it, of course I did not think it would take quite this long to do it! It was fun trying to created different textures for the different strips with out doing too much since it is such a simple image. The colors are Pumpkin Pie and Green Galore. The butterfly is from the new Time Well Spent hostess set and I colored it with markers and a aqua painter. The Life is Beautiful is from the Eastern Elegance Rub ons. Couldn't of been much easier. Thanks for checking in today, hope you have a terrific weekend! THANK GOD IT IS FRIDAY. ( almost, I am posting at 11pm on Thursday-close enough)
The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I don't feel discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees. It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, "Merry Christmas" to me. I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu . If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away. I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period. I have no idea where the concept came from that America is an explicitly atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't like it being shoved down my throat. Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from that we should worship Nick and Jessica and we aren't allowed to worship God as we understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where Nick and Jessica came from and where the America we knew went to. In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking. Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?" (regarding Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response. She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?" ;the following was added by someone else but still rings true! In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school. The Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself. And we said OK. Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK. Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves. Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW." Are you laughing? Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it. Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us. Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... No one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in. My Best Regards. Ben Stein
My confession:
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Honestly and respectfully,
Aren't these the cutest little things. I am thinking about giving these to my son's teachers for Valentines day filled with some kind of candy! They are from the dollar spot at Target. I actually used some retired designer paper on it and I am loving them. I did not want to do the whole "love" theme -- not that I don't love my son's teachers, but you know! Anyway this is going to be one of the club projects for tonight. I am letting them use the new rub ons on the front bottom. They are so easy to add that little extra with little effort. The colors used are Taken With Teal, Certainly Celery and Real Red. I also used the Garden Whimsy and Time Well Spent stamp sets.
How fun is this little card. This is from a sketch over at Lauren's Blog. She is so creative and I just adore her work. I never did one of her sketches so this is my first. I had to alter the focal image size a bit to get the look I wanted. I am pretty happy with the results.

This is for the Limited Supply Challenge 149 on SCS. The challenge is to create a card using NO white or vanilla. I am not sure where I was going with this card, and I think it really shows, lol! I was using up scraps of paper that were within reach from my work area. I also wanted to use the little stitched square cuttlebug folder. The flower in the focal image and the background are from the retired Doodle That stamp set. So happy for you is from the new Nursery Necessities set. The black floral designs on the bottom are from the Eastern Elegance Rub Ons.
After embossing with the little folder I punched it out with the square punch and then punched a circle out of the center.

Another Friday already! Yikes how time flies. (even if your not having fun, lol) The cool part is that I HAVE been having fun! I have been busy creating lots of stuff and enjoying every minute of it. Here is my card for this weeks Blogger Challenge. The challenge was to make a card using Pink and Brown. I already had my primas out from the last post so figured I would work them into this challenge too! Feels good to use up some of them. I also got to use the cute pins I found at JoAnn's the other day! Hope you enjoy it.
I brayed Pretty in Pink over the Au Chocolate paper to have it match with the pretty in pink on the top half of the card. The heart is paper pieced and the middle strip is crimped (been a while since I used that tool).

I had no idea where I was going with it but pretty much new the elephant wasn't gonna work, lol! So this is what it ended up with. I think it is one of those cards that has just a bit too much yet needs something! I would love to hear what you think.
