Agnes!

Here is Agnes! Isnt she adorable! I just love these girls. I envision them all running around on my table. ( I know I already said that) know I would have three of them and Agnes of course would be flying around my table since she has wings. They would be everywhere playing and getting into mischief.
I used papertrey ink berry sorbet cardstock and ribbon. The designer paper is Dream Street Papers Forever Family line. The polka dots are on one side and the swirly print is on the other.
I also used my stampin up scallop border punch and my brand new just came in the mail yesterday new nestibility. Also copic markers for coloring and some glitter.
Happy Stamping!

Cambria Turnbows Sketch Challenge WSC73

I decided to do a sketch challenge off Cambria Turnbows blog, stamp a little love baby.
This is her sketch WSC73. I used Karen Lockhart stamps and some old Close to My Heart yellow gingham. Also Making Memories Small Floral Flower Patch paper. I know sprin has just started but I want some sun and not all this rain. So I used the sentiment rain,rain go away.
This card was fun and quick. It was refreshing to make after taking half a day on the motorcycle cards.
Happy Stamping!

Last Baby Thankyou Card!

Good Morning all you Fellow Stampers!
I am done with the last baby card to send to my daughter for her friends. I made some of these as welcome baby cards instead of thank you and think I will go back and do that with the other baby cards I made too. I just have to finish the insides on all three sets and I can move on to something else.
I love having vacation. All I have to think about is what card to do next or whos coming over to play and what are we going to do. I havent left my house since sunday morning. That was just to take a class for our new phones.
I do have to leave the house tomorrow tho. My hubby is installing a security camera system for my friend with a store nearby.
I think today after finishing my baby cards I am going to make a biker babe stamping bella card. My hubby is really into his harley and would really like me to get one. I saw a beautiful cream and pink one on saturday. That was tempting. But between the cost and being afraid, I think I will hold off. I would rather be a backseat rider. Boy I sure do wish my hubby would get that pretty pink one tho.
I am off to stamp!
Happy Stamping!

PS for deets on this card I used the spotted giraffe from stamping bella and words from verve's practically perfect. Also ds papers from the dcvw nana's nursery baby boy pad. Stampin up so saffron and certainly celery and bella's baubles. Also oval punches from stampinup and certainly celery grosgrain ribbon.

Ketto Girl "Kenya"!

Here is Kenya! One of the Ketto girls from stamping bella. Isnt she just adorable. I wish she would jump off my card and run around my table about 3 inches tall talking to me. I bet she is just a spunky little thing. I stamped her and colored her with copic markers. Then I used my nestes to cut out her and the scalloped border. Then I used the Kenya's sparkle stamp and stamped the next layer with elegant eggplant and baja breeze. I layered that with more elegant eggplant and then the next layer is basic grey marrakech chai? collection. I used a white base which I dont do too often and a martha stewart punch across the bottom. I glittered her sparkle wand and the flower centers on her dress and the center of the sparkes that show on the next layer.
Have you heard of stamping bellas bead bonanza? For every $25 order you get a "bead". Every bead is worth a letter s,t,a,m,p. When you spell out the word stamp you get a voucher for $15. I am one bead away from that voucher so I guess I will have to place another stamping bella order soon for my next voucher.
Talk to you tomorrow. I am working on the unisex baby thank you card my daughter requested. It is also using a very cute stamping bella stamp. The adorable spotted giraffe.
Happy Stamping!

Candles,Candles, Everywhere!

Well, here they are finally. A picture of my candles. I have made three batches so far. The yellow ones are slices of fruit. Yum! The pink ones are strawberries and cream. Yum Yum! And the orangish ones are vanilla. I meant for them to be more beige but that didnt work out. But If you look close at the pink one in front and see the stripe in it. It is pink on the bottom then orangey pink and then pink again. I made it a layered candle. It is strawberries and cream and vanilla. Yum Yum Yum.
I still need to decorate them and make them extra pretty but havent done that yet. As you can see I have tealights and tins and little tartlets that go in a dish and with on a cup warmer thingy for people that dont want or cant have an open flame.
Next I am going to make grandmas blueberry cobbler and victoria secrets love spell.
Now I just need to start selling them so I can make money to make more. My hubby likes that I am making candles cuz he likes the house to smell yummy too, just like I do.
Boy, does it ever smell good when you are making them and they smell really good just sitting in the same room with you.

Baby Boy Thank You!

Hello! Happy Tuesday! I am really enjoying my time off and playing with all my toys. I just love this set by Verve. These bunnies are so adorable.
This is the baby boy thank you card I made for the baby gifts for my daughters friends. I used some papers out of the DCWV Nana baby boy pack. I was lucky and got it at a local scrapbook store on sale for only 5 bucks. I also used Blue Bayou from Stampin up and colored him with copic markers. For the flowers I used some stampin up buttons and punched flowers to go under the buttons with a marvy flower punch.
I am working on a Kenya Ketto card now. She is sooo stinky cute. I cant wait to finish her but first my big sis is coming over and we are making candles today. I am thinking maybe vanilla and strawberries and cream for me. Sounds yummy doesnt it. And I think she is making grandmas blueberry cobbler and cinnamon.
Have fun today and happy stamping!

Second Bella Shipment & Verve Baby Girl Card!




Here is my second shipment from stamping bella!

Kenya and Phoebe and friends have come to visit. I am making baby cards right now for a friend of my daughters so as soon as I am gone with them I think I will see what Kenya and I can come up with.
I am making 2 or three sets of baby thank you cards. One set for a baby girl, and one set of unisex cards since she isnt sure what her friend is having. I might also make a set of baby boy cards also but I havent decided yet.
For this set I am using Practically Perfect by Verve. I just love this bunny. It is so elegant. I also recieved a nice thank you stamp with my verve order which goes perfectly on this card. I used copic markers to color it and liquid pearls to make her necklace. I have a lot of this ribbon left over from my neices diaper cake I made for her shower. I used the swiss dots cuttlebug embossing folder, nestibilites Labels one die and stamping up punches for the words. The scalloped oval punch is in the new stampin up mini catalogue available April 1st. My colors are just white and pink piroutte. I also made little white dots around the border by the bunny with my white signo gel pen.
Happy Stamping!

Tatiana!!TECC60

Here is my 1st Ketto girl card! I think she is adorable. I wish she could pop off the page and talk to me. I bet she has quite the personality. I used copic markers to color her and some new sei paper I just found yesterday at a scrapbooking store in Salem. I also found these cool new brads at Michaels. They have harlequin, polka dot and striped prints. I got three different packs. This one has green, pink, purple and turquoise. I got two more. One has red and back and white and the third pack is brown and pink. I love them.
I made this card for Taylor's sketch challenge this week. www.tayloredexpressions.blogspot.com. TECC60.

My First Magnolia!

Here is my 1st magnolia card. Its funny, I didnt like these
for the longest time. I think because they dont have a
mouth it reminds me of an old outer limits episode that
freaked me out alot.
I dont actually have any magnolias myself but my friend Alice has quite a few so she brought some over a few months ago and I stamped several different images.
I went to a craft day at my sisters work today and probably took enough stuff for the whole weekend but only got this
one card almost done. But isnt it funny that no matter how
much you pack and take with you its never enough. I forgot my glue dots so borrowed one from another gal (thank you, Carla!) and got one card finished. I also thought it needed words but didnt bring any so I borrowed one from my sister and it was a little small so I just stamped it twice to make it fit. Its funny how we make do with what we have when we have to and it turns out great.
I didnt get to my ketto girls but I see that they are finally showing up around the blog circut. I am anxiously awaiting to ink up Tatiana but so far no go. My hubby is going for a motorcycle ride tomorrow so I will have lots of time to get to her. After I do the laundry, sweep and mop the floors and make potato salad and meatloaf for lunches while I am on vacation.
Happy Stamping!

KETTOS!!!


















My 1st Stamping Bella came today. My second will be here on monday. I have three ketto girls now! Yeah! I have Charlotte, Agnes, and Tatiana. I think Tatiana is my favorite so far.
Monday I will be getting Kenya and her sparkles and Pheobe, plus froggy and some others. As you can see I also recieved the ketto badges I think. You get them for ordering over a certain amount. I am not sure what and I think think with one more order I will be eligible for another $15 voucher on the bead bonanza. I am on a roll with stamping bella.
I made my 1st batch of candles today. It was fun and the house smells so yummy!!!! I made a batch with slices of fruit. They are yellow and very pretty. I havent taken their picture yet so will get them up later in the weekend.
Now I am off to get together some supplies for stamping with my sister tomorrow for her monthly craft day at her work. I cant decide which ketto girl to do 1st. I also have some cute dragonflies colored and a batch of magnolia girls colored and ready to go also.
I want to make lots of cards this week. I am donating a bunch for an auction I think I mentioned already (or maybe not) for Autistic kids.
Have a great weekend and happy stamping!

Angel Card #3


Here is Angel Card #3. Arent they cute hugging? Then the sentiment says Angel hugs sent your way. I love that.
I used all stampin up cardstock and some designer papers. Also used nestibilites, dew drops and stickles for the halos and their wings.
One more day of work and then I get to play,play,play. I am so excited.
During my vacation I have to get some medicine for my kitties eye. Very expensive. The cheapest I found is $107 and he has to have it 5 times a day. That will be easier since I will be home. You know the medicine is going to be expensive when they send you to a pharmacy to have it filled.
Happy Stamping!
