It's Summer Time!

For those of you who may be wondering why I haven't been posting any new stuff lately, it's because we are out of town. When schools out, the open road just SCREAMS to my DH to get out of town. So he is working and we are playing. The pictures below are of my sweet babies. They love to get in the pool whenever the opportunity presents itself. I'll be home soon enough and then I can get back to Stampin'. I keep trying to think of ways that I could bring all of my stuff with me, but it seems impossible unless I had a cargo van. Hmm. that's a thought! Kidding! Well I will check in now and again and drop some more pictures. Thanks for checking in!

Unfrogettable Anniversary

I've always loved this set and I just had to use the frogs together in a scene. It's my parents 29th Anniversary and I wanted to make a special card. I was so inspired by a card I saw on SCS made by StampinWeeza, it made me fall in love with the Stamp set all over again. So the Stamp sets I used are: Unfrogettable, Polka dots and Paisley, and the crown from Pretty Princess. I also used the 2 coordinating wheels. I stamped the polka dot background from PDP set in versamark and used clear EP. I then used my brayer and Tempting Turquoise and Green Galore ink to get the desired effect. I wheeled on the scene and used blender pens and ink to color it in. I Stamped the frogs on Gable Green CS, then did a little water coloring with Green Galore ink. When I cut them out, I cut off the eyes so that I could add googlie eyes. I added some crowns and to finish it off, Stickles and some Ribbon.

Chocolate Cake

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. I figured it would be a good masculine card, I'm just not sure about the colors, and over all design. So drop me a line and give me some much needed feedback on it. Thanks!

*Sparkle Fairy*

I have so much fun playing with Stickles! This set is a perfect match for them too! I was just playing around when I made this card. I used Doodle This for the flourishes and Fairy Nice, with some Cool Caribbean and Orchid Opulence. I punched out some flowers and sponged some color on them and added a purple brad. I finished everything off with lavender stickles on the background

Wild Birthday!

I just love this DS paper by K*I Memories, the first time I saw it I thought to myself that would make cute paper for a zoo theme. So in puttering around this evening this is what I came up with. I got the idea for the layout from CPS I modified it a bit as I was cutting the small square for the top and decided I like more up there. I was just looking at my calendar and realized that I have no "boy" birthdays coming up anytime soon. That just means I get to hang onto it and look at it adoringly!

Birthday Wishes

I think my cards always come out better if I'm making them with a specific person in mind. This one is for my neice. I just love these colors, and I love to "rock-n-roll" the cake piece and add glitter to make it sparkle. I've also been making a big effort to use different layouts and lots of layers and things for interest. I really hope she likes this card..

Love Doodles

If you can't tell, I just LOVE this set. With the release of the Preview brochure on the SU Demo website, I can tell this year is going to be Bloomin' with flowers of ALL kinds. I made this with someone special in mind. I used the same color combo from a previous card and I just love it too! I Did my own thing with the layout, and sometimes I surprise even myself. It was just what I needed to get my morning going. (shhh, don't tell DH, the house is still in shambles from the previous week) *grin*
