I started out by picking my colors, I went with the dots from the Good Morning DSP and matched up from there with Pacific Point CS for my base Whisper White CS matted with Baja Breeze CS and accents of Chocolate Chip and Summer Sun! I water-colored the honey pots, cut them out and used a dimensional for the top pot. I punched the bees out with the 3/4" circle punch and matted them with chocolate chip punched with the 1" circle. These are also on stampin' dimensionals. I colored in the bees wings with my white gel pen. I love that pen! I added the chocolate chip corduroy button after tying the middle with linen thread. The summer sun was scalloped and stamped then I tied some chocolate chip ribbon around it and glued it on!
I can't believe how long it has been since my last post! I had surgery and my husband came home from overseas to take care of me for a week and then we found out he gets to stay home for 45 days! What a blessing! It is so nice having him home and our kids are loving every minute too. I am all healed up and ready to get back into the craft room! So keep checking back! 
This is what I came up with, it really ended up being such an easy card, not much too it at all, stamps ink and card stock!! I used the Jumbo wheel at an angle to play off of the triangle. I love the leprechaun man and almost always cut him out when I use him. I am getting my Stampin Up goods today so I can't wait to get out the new stuff and create some more!!
It was way easier then I had thought it would be and I'll definitely use Stampin Ups textured designer card-stock next time because it is a bit thicker. I love it and can't wait to get some new CS and give it another go!
These are the projects that were done in my friend & fellow Demonstrator's Stamp Club which at our last meeting we so happily named ourselves The INKcredibles!! I love it! Heres a little history... my friends name is Sherri and at first she was just my neighbor across the street, very friendly & sweet. She came over once when she saw me out raking an extreme amount of leaves and helped me out! How nice is that! She quickly became someone I am glad to call a friend! Ok so there is a point to this...she introduced me to Stampin' Up shortly after I had moved into my house in 2005. Geez...I can't believe its been so long ago since I first learned to stamp, I'll have to post the first card I ever stamped soon, yup I still have it! I was excited to find out about a stamp club she was doing and joined without much thought. I have since moved across town, which is a total bummer because we can no longer walk across the street to borrow stamps!! On the upside, I no longer have any leaves to rake!! 
I don't know about you, but I LOVE Stampin' Ups Designer Series Papers, actually I loved them so much, I wasn't even able to cut into them until recently! A little crazy I know! The Urban Oasis Paper is one of my very favorites, I just love those blues, greens and grays! Maybe I've been in Ohio too long, after all it is pretty gray here! Oh and the grass IS greener here in Marysville...thats the motto anyway! I guess if you don't count the 4 months of yellow grass then it is! Ok, I'm rambling on... 
After playing with the new "just buzzin by" stamp set, this is what I came up with. Isn't the milk carton just adorable?? I saw the card on SCS and just HAD to CASE (copy & share everything). hmm...now if I can just find the link to give her credit....and here it is! I made the milk carton to match to make a cute set. 
Yay! I'm getting some posting done. I'm expecting my Starter Kit to come soon, I can't wait I ordered all the stamps from the new "Retro Fresh" line that just came out! I keep seeing some of the cutest things made with those sets, I'm excited to dig in and see what I can come up with! 
Its been a few days since my last post... so much for posting something everyday! These are some birthday cards I made to put in a card box for a friend. I totally cased these from Karen on SCS. Just changed up the colors and paper. 
So I decided to do the SCS Color Challenge. The colors were Rose Red, More Mustard and Kiwi Kiss and this is what I came up with! I used Stampin Ups embrace life stamp set. I clear embossed all of the pink flowers and the saying. I am loving these challenges so plan on seeing much more!
I made this card today for Sketch Challenge 216 on the SCS website. It was my first challenge and a lot of fun! It is a layout I have never tried before and was a little uncomfortable to do but I am pretty happy with how it came out.
