Spring Christmas!

Too early for a Christmas Card??? I think not! I finally had time to mess around with the "Wonderous Wreath" stamp set.

Sometimes, it's just not good

So, I hesitated showing this picture because it is one of the many cards that I think of, create and become completely disappointed  on how it turns out. At first I wanted to just throw out all the components and start fresh, then I giggled to myself. If you can't show your mistakes, how can new card makers and crafters feel empowered to try again after they made something they didn't like. So here it is, my fail of the day :)

Card Challenge for CAS(E) this Sketch #120

Hi everyone! I wanted to share my entry for the Card Challenge over on the CAS(E) this Sketch blog. I really loved doing this challenge! It gave me a chance to use some stamp sets that I had not used in a while. Head on over to the CAS(E) this Sketch blog to look at all the entries!

For this card, I used the Calypso Coral, Pumpkin Pie & Daffodil Delight stamp pads from Stampin Up! I also used the "Work of Art" stamp set from Stampin Up! to create the sentiment and the yellow watercolor images. For the tie-dye peace sign I used the Inkadinka Cling stamp set named "Tie Dye Cling". I also used the Bo Bunny "Stained Textures" cling stamp set.

Early stamping!

I love to get up early and start creating, especially if I go to sleep thinking about cards I want to make. I have to get some ideas floating around for my upcoming Mother's Day Make and Take. Let the ideas flow!

Getting down to Business!

I decided to get in the groove of the upcoming market season. Lucky for me, Eugene has a great spring/summer and holiday market scene. My sister has sold her handmade crochet scarves at the market for the last 2 years and this holiday season I'm selling too!! Time to get those business cards printed!

Busy, Busy, Busy!!

I'm still here! Gheesh this week has been rough! Between trying to find a new job and dealing with some family health issues I am ready and excited to bring all of you more card sketches and samples!! Of course I had to buy my last haul before the new catalogue comes out, and boy am I excited! I can't wait to bust out the ink and stamps and get creative!!!
