Anniversary Boo-boo !

This card is for my wonderful sister Terri and her husband Greg. They celebrated their anniversary on the 24th. I really messed up forgot. I have the hardest time remembering their anniversary and one of DIL's birthdays. I feel like a real block head when I forget. Terri and Greg are wonderful people (you would love them!). Terri NEVER forgets dates and things. I'm really sorry guys!!!

Congratulations Darlene and Travis

Happy Sunday to you all! I hope you are enjoying your long weekend! I am. We will be on the road again tomorrow, I 'm not sure if I
will have internet for a few days. So, I may be MIA for a bit.
Anyway, on to my card. This is a wedding card for a sweet friend of ours who is getting married this next week. I was surfing on SCS when I found Lori's card and just knew it was the one I wanted to do. You can see her card here. Be sure to check out the rest of her gallery too! There is
a link to her blog, the template for the pieces is there. She made everything so easy. Thanks for sharing, Lori!
I changed things up a bit. I didn't have the SU wedding paper that she used, so I ran some black thru my Cuttlebug, using the Argyle folder for the tuxedo. The Bridal gown is from some super sparkly glitter paper I purchased at Target. I used my SU Scalloped Edger for the bottom of the gown also. Black Brads came from JoAnn's and the Pearl at the gown waistband is Martha Stewart. Oh, I almost forgot-cardstock is Gina K Luxury, both the black and the white. Its awesome stuff!
Thanks for stopping by today! God Bless.

Happy Anniversary!

Today I have a card that I'm sending to my inlaws. They will be celebrating 53 years in a few weeks!!!!! That doesn't happen often these days......I attribute my successful marriage partly to their raising such a wonderful man. Below is the card:

All cardstock is from Stampin' Up! -Glossy White and Bronze (retired) The sentiment is a Stampendous stamp. I used my Swirl EF and my Ticket Corner Punch. Other embellies include: Pearl Dew Drops, Martha Stewart and Stampin' Up! ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy the Fall colors......God Bless!

Love of My Lifetime

Good Day to you all! I am late in posting today.....I had a job interview this morning. All seemed to go well, I'm just waiting for a call now. I have mixed feelings about this position. It is not exactly what I am looking for, but will get my foot in the door. On to less tense things.....this is the card I made for my hubby for our 31st Wedding Anniversary. It is pretty simple, but it says a lot. My husband is very supportive of this paper crafting fetish that I have, so I guess I can keep him for another 31 years!


The cardbase is Confetti White, (SU) as is the stamped piece. The Mellow Moss layer goes well with the Pattern Paper (I've had that so long I don't remember where I got it, sorry). The sentiment is from a set called "So Many Sayings". It was a Celebration set in 2007. The brackets were cut with Quikut Dies "Punctuation", fastened them down with brushed gold round brads. I used my ticket corner punch on the corners. Like it said, pretty simple, but it said what I wanted.

Hoping you have a maaavelous day!

Black and White

Good Morning! It is cool in my neck of the woods this morning! I'm grateful for that! It is supposed to HEAT way up for the weekend. Thank the good Lord for central air.

Today's card is a simple one using just black and white. The contrast is always so stunning and elegant to me. I used glossy cardstock for the base, then for one of the layers I used my Cuttlebug Swiss Dot EF. The stamped image is a retired SU set "Beautiful Butterflies". It is from several years ago, but is a set that I still use frequently. I used very black cardstock and black grosgrain ribbon for the embellishment.

I will be using this card for a Wedding card for a nephew who is tying the know in a few weeks. I wish you best of luck Brian and Jocelyn! (I'm sure they don't surf craft blogs......but my sis might....be surprised Pam!)

I will be spending the weekend with family. My son who is in the Air Force will be home today, he has been gone for two weeks training for his deployment to Afghanistan. We are celebrating his daughter's birthday while he is home. Have a great day and an even better weekend!

Hello from really warm Idaho! It is good to stay under the air conditioner these days.
Oh, well it is cool in the stamp room! I have been doing some computer work for my hubby and his partner, so it cramps my creativity a bit.......thinking too hard is BAD.....the days seem to go so quickly and I don't seem to get much done.
Today my card can be used for either an anniversary, feminine birthday or maybe even a sympathy card. I will be using it for a friend's anniversary next week.

Supplies: I believe everything you see here is retired from Stampin' Up! The brads and ribbon are from JoAnne's

My Sis and I went to Archivers the other day and I am anxious to use the new clear stamps I bought there. I can see MANY clear stamps in my future!

Stay cool and have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!

Whew!

Wow, I sure seem to find myself busy now that I have so much free time.......funny how that works.
The card I made for today can be used for either a wedding or anniversary I guess. You will find that alot of my stamps are older SU stamps. I was a demonstrator for the company way back when it was still the two sisters. It has sure grown into a wonderful enterprise!! I have a hard time parting with even one stamp, I know I will use them again. Fads come and go and I find that there are stamps in my older sets that still work today! It is unfortunate that they are no longer available though. Had a lot of trouble with the lighting today, that glossy paper can make things shiny.

Supplies: Stampin'Up! : Glossy White cardstock, Heart from Kindness Shared (an old celebration set) Pink cardstock from Die Cuts With a View Stack. Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder (gotta love it!) Silver brads, backed with small dots of pink cardstock. Border cutout from Fiskars
Thanks for stopping by today! Enjoy the summer!
