life in the forest

So I really love the animals in the stamp set Life in the Forest.  I scanned one and made it a mirror image.  I colored in the grass and the sky with ink.  I need to work on making clouds.  I think that would have made a big difference in the card.  Over all I'm happy with it.

Thanks for stopping in and happy stamping!

Love you to the Moon

This stamp comes from the set called Love you to the Moon, from stampin up.  I added the bakers twin at the end, I think if I were to make another one I would leave off the heart and pearls.  Over all happy with the way it came out.

Thanks for stopping in, and Happy Stamping!

Hang in there

Here's a cute image, that I colored with copics.  The image comes from Tiddley Inks.

Happy stamping!

Love you to the moon

This has been a crazy day.  I wasn't tiered last night at bed time (11:30 pm), but still fell asleep, only to wake at 2:30am.  As I lay there trying to get back to sleep.  I could tell my restlessness was making my husband stir.  So at 4am I decided to make a card.  Here's what I came up with.  I used gorgeous grunge for the back ground, the rocket part come the stamp set Love you to the moon.  I don't think I will be stamping tonight, early bed time for me...lol

Hershey Nuggets

 In the winter I'm relocated and work from a desk in the call center.  The management team are looking for ways to show the staff that they appreciate all that they do.  The conversation was to get candy bars and the clear party bags and there you go. Well I didn't think that was the best ideas.  So over the weekend this is what I came up with.  

Very simple construction.  It was made from a 5 1/4 x 8 1/2 piece of paper.  I used the stamp set Gorgeous Grunge and white ink to stamp on the outside of the box. 

The inside I used a stamp from It's a wrap occasion, and used old olive ink.  I tied a simple ribbon to keep it closed.  I saw this ideas from Connie Stewart another stampin up demonstrator

Thanks for stopping in, Happy stamping!.

Stampin up Owl punch

Happy Thursday stampers!

I made this card for my husband for Valentine's Day.  I kept the front very masculine.  The inside is a pop up that has two layers to it.  The owls are from the Stampin up owl punch.  

I love how it turned out.

life in the forest

So I'm not the best with technology.  I can say I know enough to get myself around.  So I was so frustrated this past week when I couldn't post to my blog. (ugh)  I upgraded something and now it's working...So moving on, this is a new stamp set from Stampin up called In the Forest.  I love all the animals.  I used the new DSP paper as well.

Thanks for stopping in....Happy stamping!

I love you!

Circle Circus

I enjoy creating back grounds with stamps it gives you a one in a kind card. This card I used several circles from this stamp set Circle Circus from stampin up. 

Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think.

Happy Birthday

Here's a simple card.  I just stamped the happy birthday in different colors.  I used old olive, pacific point and smoky slate by stampin up.  I really like these colors together.  Next time I think I will step outside my comfort zone. 

Thanks for stopping in, Happy Stamping!

Hello Lovely

Here's another simple card using only one stamp set called Hello Lovely from stampin up.  I made this the same night I was working with color combinations.  I used old olive, smoky slate and pacific point.  More of a masculine color combination.

Hello Lovely

My goal for 2014 is to blog as frequently as possible.   

Now that my boys are getting older I needed to work on birthday cards that are more mature for them to use.  I stamped this one using the stamp sets from Stampin up!

Hello Lovely, Simply Sketched and the Christmas star. I used pumpkin pie, daffodil delight, chocolate chip and old olive.  I was working on color combinations, to get an idea of what colors I liked and worked well together.

I think it turned out ok.

Thanks for stopping in. Happy stamping!

 Happy New Year!

I realize this is a little late but I thought I would share what I made last minute for the holiday party at work, and I mean the night before.  Here's what I came up with.  I covered this nugget with a snowman face I had downloaded several years ago.  Paper and stamp are from Stampin Up. 

The office staff enjoyed them.

 

Now on to the year 2014.
