I Wanna Stamp!

Watercolored Floral Batik

2009-11-24T16:56:00.001-05:00

This is a stamp by Janlynn - Stamps Happen. It is called Batik Floral Island #90331. This is such a pretty and fun stamp to use. I stamped and embossed it with gold embossing powder then colored it using my wonderful watercolor crayons. It is very hard to see here, but I gave it a little shimmer by going over just about everything with Twinkling H2O's.

Thanks so much for looking.

Using up More Leftovers

2009-08-18T13:22:00.004-04:00

Another card using leftover scraps and tags, this time using scraps from the Juliette paper pack from The Angel Company.

Use up those Tags

2009-08-11T10:34:00.005-04:00

Here's a card I did from a sketch that is a great use for all those tags you get with paper packs. I only had some scraps left from the full sheets and the sheet of tags of Amberley Grace by The Angel Company, so this layout works perfectly for my leftovers.

Cute Little Robot

Very Flowery Congrats

2009-07-29T15:28:00.001-04:00

I made this card for my friend's baby shower. She had a little girl whose name is Isabella. I wanted it to be as girly as ever for mom and baby so I went with a lot of flowers. Just love them.

3 Cards 1 Sketch

2009-03-10T10:36:00.000-04:00

Here are three cards I did for one of my Yahoo Groups for our Sketch Tuesday. They are all a little different and it was quite fun to get three different looks (I'm sure I could figure out more if I had a little more time in my room, someone send me to my room!)

Freshly Inked Stamps-It's About TIME!

2009-02-20T13:08:00.000-05:00

I finally inked up this set that I've had for a very long time. I made it for my nephew who just loves Thomas. I colored them with my Copics and I think it turned out fantastic. Hope you do too.

3x3 Valentine's

2009-02-13T08:44:00.001-05:00

I made these 3" x 3" Valentine's for my sons' classmates. The aliens are for my 1st grader and the robots are for my son in Young Five's. I asked them if they wanted me to make them or if they wanted store bought Valentine's and they let me make them again so I was thrilled.

Another Sewn Card

2009-02-06T20:06:00.006-05:00

Dress stamp is Impression Obsession and the saying is a retired TAC stamp.

Let's sew

So, it's been quite a while since I posted anything and I apologize to anyone that is checking in. I did a little stamping recently and then my camera died so I couldn't do anything with them. I tried scanning but my scanner does not like bulky things. Here's one of the cards I did. I stamped on muslin using Brilliance ink, heat set them and then colored them with Copics. As long as I did not color with the markers right to the line, they bled just enough to fill in the images without going outside the lines.

The cupcakes are those little Studio G stamps that I got from Michael's, the saying is from CTMH (I think..I'll have to go check)

Thanks so much for checking in and I'm going to try to do better at getting things up here.

My Stamp Room and It's CLEAN!

2008-08-23T22:03:00.007-04:00

Well....last winter we walled off a room in the basement for me to stamp. I had a corner of the basement but it was soooo dark from the rest of the basement and it was not fun for me to be in there. I had painted the block walls robin egg blue to try to help that out but I needed walls. The new walls I painted a lime green and let me tell you, it is bright and I LOVE it! . It's not done...yet. Eventually I'd like a ceiling and something on the floor and of course I must create some things to put on the walls. Anyway...I only had half of my things put away and haven't gotten around to doing the other half. DH talked me into spending the day down there and getting it clean and I can't believe it, but I did it! I feel so good about having it done. Now to use the room and get some things finished that I have to do for RRA. YIPPEE!

Thanks so much for looking!

Anniversary card

2008-07-10T16:09:00.003-04:00

So it's been a little while since I've done anything. I have two to share with you today. This first one is the anniversary card I'm going to give my hubby. Our 11th anniversary is on Saturday. I got this stinkin' adorable bat a little while back from Eat Cake Graphics. DH thought it was super cute too, so I made him a card with it. I just couldn't wait until Halloween time to use it for the first time. I colored him with my Copics too and used some old Basic Grey paper I've had. Isn't he soo cute!

Stamps: Eat Cake Graphics (bat), The Angel Company (retired saying)

Here is a card I did for a swap. I did one last month using this color combo, posted here, but it got lost in the mail and I'm finally getting this other one out to her. I didn't want to send one that looks the same just in case it eventually gets to her, so out came the colors. It's orange, green and purple and I don't think it scanned well. Have to try the camera next time.

Graduation Time

2008-06-09T11:42:00.005-04:00

This is a graduation card I made this weekend. I don't do a lot of masking and I rarely combine stamps from different companies, but I did it this time. I thought my owl would make a darling graduation card and then remembered that I had an old graduation set from TAC that might fit his head. I thought it might be a little different if he was standing/sitting on a rolled up diploma too, so that's what he's doing. I colored with Prismacolor Pencils and blended them with odorless mineral spirits and a blending stump. Thanks for looking.

Camping Season

2008-06-04T20:24:00.004-04:00

This is one of the cards I did for the ladies in my hostess club this month. I used one of TAC's Limited Edition stamp sets (ending May 16th) and TAC's Just Like Dad paper pack. Colored the images with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits. I used the card layout from the June issue of SheetLoad of Cards .

A Couple of Swap Cards

I hope the ladies that received them, enjoyed them. I thought they turned out kinda nice. Thanks for reading.

Another Sheetload card

2008-05-14T15:38:00.003-04:00

Here is one of the cards that I made using the February issue of Sheetload of Cards. I really like these when I need to come up with a card idea and need way more than one to be done quickly.

Shout out to SheetLoad

2008-05-09T15:53:00.006-04:00

I have recently come across the SheetLoad of Cards blog and I love it!! Here is a preview of their May issue. The ezine gives you great samples and detailed instructions and cutting guides for the greatest number of cards to make from each sketch (also given).

Here is one of the cards I did using this months issue. I plan on finding the back issues and trying those also. It is an excellent way to get some cards done quickly. The colors in my card are subtle and watercolory?? but they really got washed out in the picture. I tried scanning and using my camera and it didn't come out right, but you get the point, right?

My New Robots

2008-05-08T16:33:00.005-04:00

I just got this new stamp called "The Boys" from Eat Cake Graphics. I used Prismacolor pencils and Gamsol to color them. They are such cute robots. Thanks for looking.
