SC198 and 199

SC198 had me thinking for awhile. I decided to use last year's Simple Snowman. I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the Peace string onto his arms. I used the curly label to punch out the sentiment. I added some of the felt ribbon to give it some texture. The circles were cut out with the coluzzle. The DP is from Holiday Treasures. I used almost the same color palette for SC199. This set is new- "A Wish for Peace." I added some HPH with Alpine ribbon, and cut out the bird and added it on with dimensionals.

I've got to get a start on Christmas cards or I'll never get them done in time. For this card, I used an old set called "Garden Snowmen". The paper is Kiwi Kiss with Holiday Treasures DP. I colored it by pooling ink in the lids of the pads and using a blender pen.

I'm baaaack :)

I'm finally back with some more cards. I have a new computer now! I planned on posting these this past weekend, but I decided to make a trip to WV for the weekend. These are for Halloween. I used two sets- "Halloween Smiles" and "House of Haunts."

I need to make a few more before Halloween, so I'll hopefully get those finished and posted this weekend. I probably won't get a chance to stamp before then.

Happy World Cardmaking Day!

Unfortunately, I won't be posting any cards today. My computer died on Monday, and I had to orrder a new one. It should be here the middle of next week, so I won't be posting anything until next weekend most likely. On a positive note- I won a pair of Manolo Blahniks in my Sex and the City the movie DVD! YAY! I probably won't get them till March though.

SC195

I finally had some time to stamp today. I went to Pre-K training last week, so I spent yesterday creating assessment folders for the kids, adding content standards to lesson plans, and writing a newsletter. I also just relaxed since I hadn't been home at all. The card is for SC195. I used Autumn Vine paper with the old "Daisy" set. I dry embossed it with the Daisy Classy Brass. The scrapbook page I had started a few weeks ago, but never finished. I used a Really Rust sheet from the Spanish DP Juntos as the base. I added rub-ons, felt flowers, and even some chipboard until I felt it was filled up enough.

The stamp set used is "Harvest Hello." It is an older set, but I like this scarecrow better than the one that's currently in the mini catty. The Autumn Vine DP and felt ribbon are from the Holiday Mini. The felt is stuck down with Sticky Strip because people on SCS were saying that it won't stick with just tape. I used the 1" circle punch to make a layer for the More Mustard button. The main image is up on dimensionals.

me in 1968

Some friends have been using a site called yearbookyourself.com. You upload your picture and it will put you in different photos from every 2 years between 1950 and 2000. It was pretty funny. This was my photo from 1968, and I remember my mom having this hairdo in many pictures in her yearbook. I had to share it. My favorites were the ones with the cat eye glasses! Maybe I'll post some others later.
