Wacky Birthday

Good Tuesday to you. I am late in posting today. My daughter took me to lunch for my birthday. We ate a wonderful chick-flick kind of place. "Cafe De Coco", had to hold my pinky out and everything!! My daughter-in-law and her Mom joined us also as today is her birthday too!
Today's card is a card to self.....it says " Age is only a number-mine is unlisted." It is a wacky sort of card, but sometimes days are like that!!

Supplies: Cardstock- More Mustard, Only Orange, Summer Sun, Green Galore-Stampin' Up! Patterned Paper: DCWV Summer Stack, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Dew Drops and Black Brads

Have a happy day! Thanks for looking!

Cool Car!

COOOOL CAR! This is what my grandson says every time he sees a car he likes. He is just two years old but is already pretty discerning about cars and trucks! The stamps from this set come from a Fiskars Clear set that I bought recently from JoAnne's. My wonderful hubby is turning the big 50 this year and there is a stamp in this set that is in number 50. It is for the 50's era, but I can work around the "S"

Supplies: Cardstock: Confetti White, Rocket Red, Wild Wasabi, Bashful Blue-Stampin' Up!, Ink: Rocket Red marker, Basic Black, Red Brad- JoAnne's Stamp set as mentioned above.

Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderiforous day!!

Fun Thank You Set

Good day to you! I got to sit down and play a bit yesterday and had a great time! One of the things I worked on is shown below. It is a set of four Thank You cards. I used one of the new clear stamp sets that I purchased at Archiver's. Clear Stamps give a clean image and they are so much less expensive than some others because you don't need the wood blocks. They peel and stick to acrylic blocks. Storage will take a lot less room also. These are 4x4 cards and came together quickly and turned out sooo cute!


They colors on this second picture look a little different, I'm sure it is because I put the card up against a different color to shot the single card.

Supplies: Cardstock-Confetti White, Rose Red-Stampin' Up! Nestibilities Small Circle Scallop Die, Stamp: Thank You Clear Stamp-Archivers, Ribbon-JoAnne's

Have a great day! Thanks for stopping by!



HUGE MISTAKE!!

I made a HUGE mistake and need to extend my apologies. On Monday's post I stated that I had gotten the card idea from Amy Sheffler's blog. This is not correct. The cute sketch actually came from Kelly Schelske. Kelly, I am so sorry.....this is what I get for putting notes on the same pad as the one I use for other computer work! Won't be doing that anymore.

Hello from really warm Idaho! It is good to stay under the air conditioner these days. Sweaty
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!
