Faux Leather...

Hi everyone!

I am currently sitting in a virtually empty basement, as we are getting ready to renovate. I thought I had better post on here before my computer goes into hibernation for a few days! Here is a card that I made with my club last week. We used the faux leather technique to get this effect on chipboard. It took a bit of sponging, but I'm really happy with the results!

Here's the recipe...

Stamps: Friendship Blooms & Everyday Flexible Phrases

Ink: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, More Mustard & Old Olive

Paper: Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron, Confetti Cream & So Saffron Designer Prints

Accessories: On Board Simon Lower (chipboard), Stamping Sponges,

Chocolate Chip Poly twill Ribbon & Vintage Brads

Thanks for looking!

I'm Back!

Hello everyone!

Here is a photo of the gang at Chilliwack Lake! We went there last weekend, and actually had to get all bundled up because of all the snow! It was so nice to have a family day.

I have actually been stamping and have missed posting on here. I'll have to dig out my camera and take some pictures of my latest projects. Spring Break is just around the corner!

Thanks for looking!

Here's the Recipe:

Stamp Sets: Baroque Motifs, Peaceful Wishes, Warm Words, Rough Edges Alphabet

Anniversary Card...

Hi Everyone!

Here is a card I made a while ago. I used a whole variety of things until I came up with this combination! I used the Looks Like Spring and Baroque Motifs stamp sets, and Rose Red Designer, Pretty in Pink, and Old Olive Paper. I'll have to send this off soon! My parent's anniversary is on Wednesday! Oops! Oh well, it's the thought that counts.

I finally decided what I would like to make for Christmas cards this year. Now all I need is the time to get them done! Thanks for looking!

Tri-Fold Card

Hello Everyone!

Well, it has been way too long since I've posted! I guess that comes with the territory. My job and little ones keep me very busy! I have had a few minutes here and there to stamp. It's becoming my therapy!

This is a tri-fold card that I made a few weeks ago. I used the Elegant Notes stamp set (one of my new favourites), Chocolate Chip paper and ink, So Saffron Prints Paper, and Whisper White ribbon. You undo the ribbon to reveal a cute note inside. Anyway, my time's up! Thanks for looking!

World Card Making Day...

Hi Everyone,

Just a note to let you know that I'm celebrating World Card Making Day this year! If you'd like to join me, I'll be having fun making cards this Thursday night. We will be making several cards using the Three For You Punch box, and this is one of them. We're also going to try out my brand new "Priceless" dry embossing template. If you'd like more info about Thursday night or any of my other classes, please let me know! Happy Stamping!

Christmas Already?

Well, I'm back! It has been a very busy few weeks of getting back into routine! Wow! The weeks sure fly by! Here is a card from a Christmas swap that I was involved in. I'm having a hard time thinking about Christmas already, but I know it will soon be time to begin making my Christmas cards and gifts.

This card was made by Louise and uses the Baby Jesus is Born stamp set (so cute!), Creamy Caramel, Chocolate Chip, Sage Shadow, and the Outlaw Paper. This is such a great set, and I might just have to get it this year! Thanks for looking!
