Then my friend bought me these new Heidi Grace stamps the other night!! I am spoiled rotten!!

The dog upstairs had 4 puppies, 2 girls, 2 boys. They are gorgeous. This is them last weekend, and this weekend they were bigger and all over the place. I am in love!!!

Christmas card contest entries

Sarah my SU demo who is uber-talented had a card contest and she just posted the winner. The winning card is stunning.

These were my entries into her contest. I made them with my friend Cindy a few weeks ago in the midst of my car breaking down crisis. At least we were able to get some cards made in the middle of my car being in the repair shop. I used her SU Baroque Motifs stamp set. It actually is such a nice and versatile set. I mean hello- Christmas cards too!! Hmm, maybe I do need it before the new catalog comes out in January to tempt me.

Supplies- SU cardstock- Real Red, Handsome Hunter, Very Vanilla
SU- Ink- Handsome Hunter, Very vanilla- which I then embossed in gold as it didn't stand out as much as I had hoped it would.
Other- SU Brads
Stamps- SU- Baroque Motifs and All Year Cheer I (retired)

You usually start seeing them November 1.

Happy belated World Card making day.

This is all the stuff I had to take with me in my car to my friend's house in order to make that set of cards. he he! Gotta love the home front scrappin' and card makin' space. It requires so much less effort. At the end of the 2 day event- cuz I spent the night and we made cards the next day. My friend said- "you really need a tote on wheels!" Umm. I am not sure that it would help that much. But thanks for the advice, I will keep it under advisement. :) Hope that your Canadian Thanksgiving weekend was spectacular, and I hope that your world card making day was a success

This is the card I made for World card making day at my friend's house. It was a great day!!

This is from day 2 of our adventures!

dreaming about cards again

Seriously love that I dreamed about stamps and stamping again!! ( see below post from Oct. 1) This stamp has been in my possession for years!! And it is a square flower in four sizes, you know the cube type of stamp. I dreamed that I used it and then punched it with my circle punch, and so that is what I did!

Stamps- flower- Deborah Farber designs, word stamp Short and Sweet-SU.
Ink- Versamark, basic black-SU

I also dreamed up another project too, but I have to find a few more parts, before I can put it together. Let me just say I love these sort of dreams. They are so much better than running around like a crazed nurse dreams!!

The only down side to these cards is the amount of cardstock and time for all the folds. Don't think that I could make 50 of these for Christmas. But you never know....

Not a winner, but I love it anyway!

Dreamed up this card the other afternoon, literally during my before night shift nap. It was different colors, but the strips, ribbon, corners rounded on one side, and the layers were all there. I went straight to working on it for Cindy's card contest, which unfortunately I didn't win. However I still love this card- Ink, cardstock, ribbon- so simple and so exciting in the end. Love it!!

Cardstock- Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip, Ruby Red- SU.
