Brown with buttons

Another card from last weekend's creative run...

This one I made for CardJunkie's swap on my fav MB. The theme for this one was Brown with Buttons. I don't have a lot of brown so this one was a bit hard for me. But this is what I came up with, I should have made the buttons all go the same way. Oops! I really like this saying, and hope someone will like the cards!

Peach with Piercing

Another card I madelast weekend. I created this card for CardJunkie's Monthly card swap on my fav MB. For the piercing in the corners I used Stampin Up's Mat Pack. This is a super easy way to line up piercing PERFECTLY! The flower and sentiment are from the Hostess set "Echos of Kindness" from the Spring/Summer catalog. I colored it with my Stampin' Write markers. This one isn't actually adhered down yet. I was getting impatient and wanted to take pictures so I could get them posted here. (only took me almost a week!)

Get Well Card front

I made these last weekend for my Card Fronts swap that I am hosting on my fav MB. The theme for this one is Get well/Sympathy. I used a Versamark stamp pad for this one. (LOVE IT!!!) Someone from one of my swaps (hi Jean!!!) used this sentiment stamp and I knew I needed to get it also!

Thanks Card Front

This is the last of the cards from last weekend. These I made for my Card Fronts Swap on Cricut.com. The theme for this one is Thank you. I used my new Eyelet punch from Stampin Up. The flowers are from a hostess level 3 set called "goody Goody Gum Drops". This is a very versitile set! I colored the image with my Stampin Up Stampn write markers! I made soem in red, and also some in yellow. Mostly because I ran out of yellow cardstock! The center of the flowers are done in Stickles.

It is HOT!!!!!

Ok so it isn't a big secret that I prefer Spring and Summer over the cold and dreary days of Winter.

HOWEVER as I sit here...in April mind you...in 92 degree weather, I can't help but worry that it is a sign of what is to come this Summer! I love the nice weather, but hate the heat! And don't even get me started on the Humidity!!!!!!

Anyway, as I sit here being uncomfortable in the heat, I hope that wherever you are, I hope that the weather is beautiful, and life is treating you good!

You Choose ATC SWAP - My Favorite Thing

I think this is the last of the You Choose ATCs (or the first depending on how you look at it! :) ). This is for the My Favorite Things theme. I wanted it to look loe a tree branch in the dusk. You know when the sky is all shades of colors, and the shadows are starting to fall. I love that!

Anyway, I used balled up wax paper, and inked it up with Stampin' Ups classic inks in the following colors, So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Real Red. Then I used the flowers from Stampin' Up's Eastern Blooms. I stamped that in StazOn's Stone Grey.

You Choose ATC SWAP - Nature

Here is the ATCs I made for the Nature theme for the swap on my fav MB. I used the new Soft Summer set by Stampin' Up. It is actually a two-step stamp set, but I just used the outline stamp. First I stamped the image, then sponged on some of SU's Pink Pirouette classic ink, and then accented the edges with SU's Pixie Pink classic ink. I colored the image with my SU's Stampin' Write markers.(love them!) then I used my SU Ticket punch for the corners. Again I stole the idea from a card that I made earlier. Just not a lot of creative ideas going through my head right now....
