november calendar

well when this started out I really liked it but now I don't like it as much. It needs more color. I did add some sponging around the edges but ahh still only so so for me. stamps are by stampin up except the tree which is by penguin pants rubber stamps. used markers and pencils to color the images.

spring waterfall card

well I know this card has a coupe problems one the ribbon YUCK but I didn't have anything else close enough to match it. I normally don't work in these colors I am more of fall/winter kind of color person. so it was a challenge. the card itself was a challenge mechanical cards aren't my thing either.

All the stamps are by penguin Pants Rubber stamps


I used some gel pens with a bit of sparkle in them to color the images. You cant see that to well in the pictures but oh well.


Saturday I went to the quilt show and took a few pictures that I think will inspire some of you and hope to post those tomorrow.

snowflakes, leaves and halloween

went to a Penguin Pants Rubber stamps class and made some really cool projects. the above is the outside view of a trifold card. who would have thought that a brown snowflake could look sooo good.

The inside is even pretty.




I love trees and leaves so this card was great. stamped in various colors of adriondak pads then water brushed over them. Add a vellum embossed leave and some brads and its gorgeous.


this is the card opened. MAn was this tooo cool to make. lots of little pieces but worth it. there is so much detail in each panel i took a couple extra pictures of it.








the card folded and ready to ship in a regular envelope. they have some great stamps I always love taking their classes.
