fly me away....

When I made this card I was wishing for much warmer weather, and hoping against hope for a return of spring like weather.... well I think it worked, since we have had beautiful weather here the last few days. This was another birthday card for a sister in law last month. I love the beautiful wings embosslits die, it is so easy to use and makes such a wonderful addition to any project, or you can use it like I did here and have it take center stage.

I sure hope this great weather sticks around for a few more days, it has been my inspiration for a couple scrapbook layouts that I hope to finish up soon.

new neighbours

Today has been a busy day, as has this last few days. I have been baking and trying new things, and today made homemade tortilla shells. They are really good, and my son loves them. Sadly my old and very abused rolling pin died while making them so I am now on the hunt for a 12-15 inch marble rolling pin, which I am noticing don't exist. SO if you know where I can buy one I, and ship to Canada, I will gladly send you a free stamp set from my retired for sale stamps. I should note my old one was not marble, but some weird plastic fiberglass thing and it was 12 inches, which for what I use it for is almost too small, hence the 15 inch wish list. I have also been making a lot of homemade white bread, and would love to try whole wheat, so if you have a great recipe for that I'd love it if you would share it with me.

We also got new neighbours recently, and I wanted to make them a card. I saw a very similar card done on SCS by KIM L, and wanted to case it. I do not have the good neighbors stamp set, but the paper stack from SAB has these cute houses and trees and clouds, so I paper pieced instead of stamping.

better late than never

I made this card a while back for a PPA weekly color challenge, but didn't get it made in time for the submission deadline. I ended up going out of town right after that and never got around to posting it. Turns out that was a good thing, otherwise I would not have anything to show you today.

I am currently working on giving my blog a face-lift. Sadly I know nothing about how to do this, so it is taking me forever. It took almost no time at all to design what I wanted in MDS, but trying to get it to appear properly on my test blog is a completely different thing all together. Please bare with me if I don't get a lot of posting done over the next couple days.

love you much....

I saw a card done a while back by Mary Fish, and loved the paper she used, so I tried to case it. It was a while ago and I didn't save the link to go back to, so I am pretty sure this is really close to what she actually did, but I am not 100%. This paper is from the new stack called sweet pea, and I love this paper! It is so awesome. I have been using it a lot lately. It is great for scrapbooking.

Love You Much

I love this new stamp set Well Scripted. It is such a nice font and has such wonderful sayings. I'm not too sure where I got the inspiration for this card from, but as I was thinking of what to do this card idea came to me, which is usually a good sign that I have seen it somewhere, and did not actually come up with the idea myself. When I come up with an idea for a card it usually takes me a long time to make it appear in my head, if it pops in there, I had to have sen it some where before.

I used the Bigz XL Die Movers and Shapers with the heart die in it to cut the bigger heart shape out of the white piece so that the pink could show through. I also stamped the sentiment in White craft ink and then embossed it in white as well and punched it out with the full heart punch. I love how you can put one inside the other and have the 'mat' around it. I also used the heart to heart punch to punch all the hearts out of the new Welcome Neighbor DSP from the SAB catty.

I am having a blast getting back to creating! I will be working on invited to my son's birthday party for the rest of tonight and all day tomorrow. I need to get them out ASAP. When those are done I will be back to working on samples for classes and stamp club.

Until next time, Happy Scrappin'
