my idea

I had some left overs so I made a couple of my own designs. I think I like the top one most of all.

card class

Two more cards from my ctmh class. I never think to use the brads and dodads much but this was fun.

ctmh card class

I did a card class with my ctmh demo these are two of the cards we did.
The background is pretty cool. we used 3 stamps one diamond that is solid an outline and then in the top card there are smaller diamonds inside. we also used some punch outs for the flowers. not crazy about them but they were fun. Also the base was actually a cut up 9 x 9 scrap page

princess pages

Now normally I wouldn't do this girly kind of pages since I have a boy and i am so NOT a pink person. but I thought these pages would be good for Disney pictures.


Hubby and I went to Disney World for our 20Th anniversary last summer and these will work great for them.




we had dinner in the castle and I think those pictures will go great on here.



sorry I was so lazy taking pictures I didn't take them out of the page protectors. Its been a crazy couple of weeks at work and I have been just to pooped to do much when I get home.

carnations

A few weeks back I spent the afternoon with a friend stamping and chatting. I had to make a few cards for an eyelet swap. I used a make an impression stamp (store recently closed) and some punches to make the flower. added sponging around the edges and then layered. the eyelets were a nice copper so I needed some ribbon to go with it. luckily my friend has a wonderful stash of ribbon and this was perfect for this card.

Flower soft meets thomas kinkade

I love Thomas Kinkade's work so I just had to have a couple of stamps that came out. This one is perfect with use of the flower soft product.

The stamps are a little tough to color, lots of details and color.
I had a couple of friends wondering about the flower soft product so I had to make a couple of samples to pass on to them.

a side view to see the dimension of the flower soft.

pages galore

some more pages I did at my ctmh demo's house.
Its been a busy month I took 2 extra scrap booking classes but I couldn't resist.





the punchout flowers really worked well on these pages.

flowers

Last of the cards I did at a workshop with the kit I earned from my close to my heart demo. No stamping just lots of paper and embellishments. I did run some inks over the large flower to give it some highlights.

Scrapbooking - rockets and more

Did these at my Close to my heart scrap booking class. I just love them.

I have a boy so I was thrilled to do some boy pages. But after doing them I think they will be perfect for Disney World pictures.
Toy Story and buzz lightyear come to mind for some of them.




But these two will be perfect for Tinkerbell pictures.

Happy Birthday to my hubby

did this at my ctmh demo's house and I knew I just had to give it to my husband for his birthday. the hearts and key are stamped and cut out. I added the leafy swirl stamp to the patterned paper because I thought it would be look good.

pink flowers

hmmm does this look familiar?? well it should I used something like it just a few days ago. Did this for a pink card swap. Pink is not my color of choice but I do like how this turned out.

I used the cuttlebug for the background but first stamped the words (stampin up) on it. the punched frame is a 3 x 3 frame. the inside frame are peg stamps by Rubber Stamp tapestry.

flower pots revisited.

Remember this card?? well i just didn't like it much. So I put it off to the side and then it came to me I changed it to the below card. Using my favorite new punch.


Of course for those that didn't see the previous post I used flower soft on the flowers.

ctmh card

This was fun card to make. I really like that artistic stamp I think I will be using it a lot.

dolka dot hearts

I haven't used much patterned paper before to make cards but with this class from my ctmh demo I really like what we did.

key to my heart

I earned this set in January from ctmh and my demo shannon had a class on cards and scrapbook pages. this is one of the cards. the blue/green background is a paper by ctmh everything else is stamped. I love this set the artistic looking swirls and stuff will come in very handy.

one of a kind

Last card from my stampin up card class. Can I just say this paper is sooo awesome. It has an awesome texture and I think this is why I love this paper so much. I really wasn't fond of this tree set maybe because I couldn't get it to stamp right even with the darn stamp a ma jig.

punched frame.

this was a totally fun card. I absolutely love this border punch too. We made two of these cards. One without dry embossing on the background paper and one with. below is a close up of the punch and the embossing.
Use a 3 x 3 square to create this punched frame. Have you seen your stampin up demo lately?? if not better giver her a call she may just have something new to show you.


oh by the way I am scheduling a bunch of cards one for each day and keep watch I used this punched frame again and I love what I did.

cupcake birthday

another card from my stampin up card class. The cupcake bottom is crimped, I haven't used my crimper in years I think. It was good to use it again. I love how she shows us how to use many of the things we have sitting in my drawer.

the best part of this card is the little surprise that the brad helps with. so very clever.

I am really learning to love this designer paper.

background paper

went to a card class at my stampin up demonstrators (sharon) house and we made 8 cards 4 different designs. this is one of the cards. well we varied the second card a bit. I love how she comes up with some of the best ideas.
