AI Stamps

Just recently discovered Art Impression stamps!  Such fun, love their videos.  I am using Tombow markers with it.

Stamp-a-Faire 2014

What a long exhausting fun filled day!  My friend Holly joined me this year and we started bright and early!  Lots of cards were made, a few challenges were skipped because we were not interested in the cards.  The ones I decided to do are here.  Ready to go! (there is my friend Joe trying to fix my little tape runner)

Katie and Holly are ready!

Getting ready for Stamp-a-faire 2014

Gathering my supplies, planning my day, got my friend Holly also coming, and my stepdaughter Katie too.

One-Layer Simplicity Challenge #1: Restocking the Shelves

It has been a while since I took the time to photograph any of my cards.  I dont have an area set up any more to take the photos, so please bear with me on the photographic style here. 

I love the PTI embroidery stamp set.   I used PTI inks but random cardstock I had.  Embellished with some pearls.  I couldn't get a good photo of this one.

This one was an experiment with Dazzle Versamark ink and a bunch of snowflakes, then a gold marker pen and the PTI thank you stamp.

This one is just a simple repeat of a little flower from Stampin up with a bunch of PTI colored stamps and a Tiny Tags thank you stamp.

  I used Memento for the black, and the snowman I used colored pencils and gamsol.

Make It Monday #139: Stamped Square Frames

Wow I have many PTI stamps but not a one with any kind of straight line.  This one is the closest I have, from Out on a Limb set.  I used the greeting and other little tree from Autumn Hills.

All PTI inks.

Terribly Lax in posting

Hi all, I have just been horrible at taking any photos of my cards lately.  Honestly its a pain in the but to post photos.  Nothing has really been super crazy unique or special and have not had the motivation to do any challenges nor contests.  I have been sending my Grandmother in the nursing home a card every week so am still crafting all the time, plus going monthly to Stampin up card classes, as well as the occasional Archivers card class.  I recently did their 12 tiny tags class and it was so much fun!  I am making the little mittens for my tags for Christmas this year.  As soon as I figure out how to fix it so the photos upload easier I will try to post more.

Sympathy Cards

I took a break from card making but after a class I am ready to get back into it.  I got an order from Papertrey Ink and had to use my stuff!  This is the new PTI Heart 2 Heart  #10 set.  I got the dies that go with it too.  I used various papers I had, PTI smokey shadow and raspberry fizz inks, washi tape (wow I really need more) and gems I had.
