Thank you With All My Heart - S-411 Challenge

I gave myself last night to work on one of my favorite challenge sites, Stamping 411. Here's the latest sketch challenge: I inked up my new SU rubber (With All My Heart.)

I made a background paper using the flower images from the stamp. The colors are Choc Chip, Close to Cocoa, Melon Mambo, and Pretty in Pink. Don'tcha just love the SU color names???

Today is my LAST day of Winter Break. The Steelers play today at 1:00 and we hope for the stars to align in just the right way to get them in the playoffs again. It's too early for football to be over for me.

However, I must say, that Drew Brees is a hottie. I could become a New Orleans' Saints fan in a pinch! Enjoy your Sunday!!

Thanks for visiting.

Birthday Calendars

We did an anything but a card swap for December and I'm finally posting the ones I've mailed. I still have 2 to mail (sorry girls!). I'll get my butt to the post office in the morning. Anyway, I got this idea from the resource section of splitcoast. I was happy to use my binding tool to create this as well as some retired SU papers. This was a fairly simple project to create. You just tuck your cards into the pockets for each month along with envelopes and postage, and you're ready to go for the year! I hope the ladies will ike these!

Circular Turkey Sketch 42

I finally inked this image. It's so beautiful! I love SU! and this is a great sketch, dontcha think? I found it at Card Patterns! Check out the link. They have wonderful challenges that get those ideas flowin'. This card would be great for someone who hosts T'giving this year. Hope you like!!

New Banner

If you could see my home today, you would ask why in the world I spent time on this today. If you're visiting this blog, though, you probably know the world can be crashing down around us and we'll create! I had to play with MDS since I made the investment and created the blog banner courtesy of Patti's tutorial and some help from Google. Check out her tutorial here. Check out her banner - Gorgeous!!!
Thanks Patti!

Thanks for the turkey!

I thought I could use this card as a thank you for Thanksgiving dinner at my sister in law's. I used Stamping411's great sketch for this week. It really makes a pretty card I think. I used SUs bermuda bay for my accent color. The details for the sketch challenge can be found here. Enjoy this gorgeous Sunday if you're in the Southeast!

Hodgepodge Bavarian Birthday

I was playing around with some red embossing powder I found in my closet and created this hodgepodgey card. I so love this Alpine Ribbon from last year's mini and am getting around to using it. I always feel like I don't use my materials enough. The problem is there is so much CUUUTE stuff out there that I have to have. There's just not enough time in my day. I believe that if I had a dedicated stamping space, that would change. What's your experience with that? Anyway, hope you like the card.
