Ooo...pretty!

I needed to make a sympathy card for my friend Jennifer, whose MIL died last night. I wanted it to be new, special, and simple so that Brandon would like it too. This is what I came up with. I hope she likes it but mostly I hope that she is comforted knowing that I care.

How I made this card:

Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Warmest Regards
Cardstock: Groovy Guava, Wild Wasabi, Whisper White
Ink: S/A (same as above) plus Purely Pomegranate
Accessories: Organdy Ribbon, Aqua Painter, Stamp a ma Jig
Layout: is from Lauren's Saturday Sketch

New Catty Card

Okay, so I took a moment and went ahead and made a card with the Level 3 Hostess set, Vases in Vogue. This is a fun set to work with! It isn't the fanciest card I've ever made but I still think it is cute. The recipe will be at the bottom of this post.

I've had some time to explore the new catalog and I have to say that I like it. It has some interesting new sets and some fabulous new paper but I told you that already didn't I? Sorry about the repetition...I'm so tired. Today was the last day of VBS and I'm just letting down the the VBS high which makes me extremely tired!

This cute Birthday Beauty was made by my blogging friend Amber. See her blog HERE. Her dress and tiara are all glittered up! It looks like Amber used stitched ribbon on her card but she really just used her gel pen to make it look like stitched ribbon...neato, huh?

Well, I hope you all have a great day! See you later this weekend!




How I made the card:
Stamps: Vases in Vogue, On the Spot
Cardstock: Whisper White, POP, Certainly Celery, Cameo Coral
Ink: Stazon Black, Rose Red, Garden Green
Accessories: Crystal Effects, Brads, White Gel Pen

Cool! And, Weird!

I have something to show you! It is both really, really, cool and on the other hand very, very weird. Ready?

The cool part? My upline got her catalogs today and brought me one! Yahoo!!!! I LOVE IT!!! I especially like the new layout and paper! Thank you Richelle!!!!!!!!

The weird part...I'm kissing the catalog, I look like crap (it is the end of the day!), and I'm wearing glasses (my contacts were driving me crazy!). If you can get past the weird stuff enjoy the sneak peak at the new catty! My box will be here tomorrow so if you pre-ordered you know you'll be getting a phone call!

Ahhh...finally...some artwork!

Okay, really quick, here is some artwork. The card made with the hearts is made by Jackie. The set is from Gina K's Love You To Pieces set. The colors are just fantastic and isn't that stitched ribbon cute? The birthday card is by Mindy and just so cute! I love the punched out flowers and the piercing.

I am awaiting my new catalogs still but there are some boxes being delivered in Ellensburg today so hopefully one box will be delivered to my house. Otherwise, it looks like they will arrive tomorrow. Remember, if you ordered a catalog from me...my Mr. Brown doesn't stop at my house until after 5 p.m. and sometimes closer to 6:30. I will be calling to let you know when it arrives though!

Have a great day everyone!

New Toy!

We decided yesterday that we were going to get the kids a water slide this summer. I really didn't start out thinking it would be one this big but it just worked out that this is what we liked best. I think the kids liked it too! :0)

Tomorrow (Thursday) I will be able to show you the cards from the swap I hosted here at Live-Love-Laugh-Create. I'm so sorry I've been neglecting that. Hopefully, once I've finished with VBS I can get back into a blogging routine.

Have a great night and see you tomorrow!

I'm liking this desk!

Just thought I'd share a picture of a fellow stampers desk. What a mess, huh? Why do you think I might share this photo? Teehee! I should have our new catties by Friday and I CANNOT WAIT! :0)

Quick Post

Just wanted to post real quick before I leave for VBS. I have a couple of pictures for you. The building is DuVall Hall. It is the residence hall that I stayed in at Whitworth. Like Todd told you I was only the second person to stay in my room...which is the second picture. I heard that we were lucky to be staying there as it has air conditioning. Not that we needed it because I think the warmest it got was about 85. Anyway, now you know where I was for a couple of weeks. I will be sharing pictures of my profs and roommates soon. I'll be back to stamping soon, too, because looking at all of my new stamps and not being able to touch them is KILLING me! :0)

Be back later!

Bible Study

If you live in the Ellensburg area I will be facilitating a great Bible study and would love for you to join me. You can check it out HERE and the information will always be available in the left column. Let me know if you would like any details! :0)
