Not the best, but....

I was trying to come up with something to submit for one of the Stampin' Up contests. This did not turn out as cute in real life as I pictured it in my head, though. Pumpkin Pie, Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla cs. Chocolate Chip and versamark ink. I used hemp twine and distressed all the edges for a more rugged feel. I guess it's ok, but just not what I was shooting for.

TFL!!!!

Nothing new to show yet

We have been super busy the past couple of weeks, so my creative time has been very little. I hope to get some things made this week.

Keep checking back. Thanks!!!!

I gave up waiting

Well, it is still raining here, so I took my pics inside. I hope they are ok enough! I know I'm not the best photographer. It must run in my family because my grandfather was terrible at taking pictures and so is my mom. I can only hope it stops with me and my children will be able to take a decent picture when they need to!!


The first three cards are the ones I made for the mothers in my life. I used Blossoms Abound, which I finally just bought the other day. My colors used were Mellow Moss, Perfect Plum and Pale Plum. I am not crazy about the first or last one, but I do like the middle one. I also used French Script on two of the cards.






































This is the name frame I made for my mother in law. I hope she likes it. I used some some MME paper I got the other day. The collection is called Everyday Tango. I used River Rock, WW and Bordering Blue to mat the letters, and they were stamped in Night of Navy. The ribbon was some I got at Michael's awhile back. I really like how it turned out, so I think she will really like it too.






This is the last card I made for my SIL. I used the SAB set Friendship BLooms. The colors were Gable Green, Orchid Opulence, So Saffron and Pixie Pink. I also put some fakie dew drops on, of course! Well, thanks for looking as usual! I am having trouble with blogger today, so I apologize if this post looks funny!

Still alive...

I am still alive if you are wondering, and I have been stamping. However, the weather the past few days has been dreadful, so I have not been able to take pictures of what I have been creating. My outside photos seem to turn out much better than the ones I take inside, so I am waiting to take somewhat decent photos of my creations!

Keep checking back and thank you for visiting!!

Some SIL cards

Here are a few more of the cards I have come up with for my SIL. Here is a She's All That again. Love, love, love this set. I also used the Happy, Happy Birthday wheel. Pixie Pink, Gable Green and Green Galore paper and ink. Some ribbon that I think I got at Michael's ages ago, and some cute little rhinestones to top it off.







Sorry the next couple of pictures are terrible. Not a good day for photographs here. This is a good card for a little boy's birthday I think. I used Unfrogettable. I punched each little character out. I colored them with my markers, and the little dragonfly got some blingy wings with my glitter pen. I threw on some brads at the bottom of the Gable Green layer. There is a versamarked mushroom on the bottom right, but it is kind of hard to see in the picture. The other cs I used was Yoyo Yellow and Tempting Turquoise.










This card was cute in my mind, but didn't deliver in person. I don't know what it needs, but it needs something. Any suggestions?

















My SIL needs some thank yous, so I thought this is a good one. She like earthy colors, so what better colors to choose from than Earth Elements. I used Cameo Coral, Not Quite Navy and Old Olive. I colored my image with my chalks, and versamarked the sentiment. Those are some more of my favorite fakie dew drops on the sides.

TFL!
