Must.Get.More. The colors: brown – cone, felt ribbon red – swiss dot embossed label frame, cherry yellow – grid embossed label, polka dots on white ice cream scoop turquoise – dotted background on card base, ice cream scoop white – card base,…
Edited: I wrote this post late last night, as I was writing it my computer had a meltdown and wouldn’t back up anymore. I was up until 3am trying to fix it. Then this morning I got a call at 7am from my apartment manager saying that someone was coming to do repairs that were supposed to be done 3 months ago in an hour. I then had him here, was on the phone with…

LEMON YELLOW!!! Since Spring is finally arriving, and because I had the most fabulous strawberry lemonade yesterday (thanks, L!), I had to pick lemon yellow. This search yielded over 5,000 hits on etsy! Here are four of my favorites! This is a diffuser with preserved flowers attached to it! It is made by MelroseFields . I’ve never seen anything like it, so I had to post…
I have this adorable cat stamp from sideshow stamps . You really need to check out this company. Their stamps are so awesome and different than the other stuff you see out there. My friend, M, gave me a gift certificate there, and he found them through a google search! Okay, so, I have this great cat stamp that I have been wanting to use. I have also been wanting to do a hot pink…
One of the great things abut blogging and reading other people’s blogs is that you end up learning so much and getting so much support from both “real-life” and “virtual” blogging friends. One of the very sweet and talented people that I have been getting to know is Lynnette at Netter’s Notables . You should definitely check out her blog as she makes the most beautiful cards! Well, Lynnette gave me my first blog award,…
I found a solution to my inability to tie a nice bow … just stamp it!
How cute is this stamp? The set comes with 4 different ribbon stamps, and I can guarantee you will be seeing them all here on the blog soon!
The ribbon reminded me of the gingham that Dorothy wears in The Wizard of Oz, which then reminded me of Judy Garland, which then reminded me of those mirrors that stage…
My computer is back! My computer is back! I am so happy!!! I had a video saved, so I had to post it right away. It was driving me nuts knowing it was stuck on the computer! In this video I make a Mother’s Day card with background stamps, distress inks, and buttons (oh, my!) I hope you enjoy it! Here are some photos of the card:
Thank you so much for watching! Have an…
Isn’t it just so hard to make cards for men?! I have such a hard time! I recently picked up this a muse golf bag stamp to help in my manly card making. My husband, dad and father-in-law (FIL) are all golf nuts, so I know I will get good use of this stamp! Do you think they will notice that they always get cards with a golf set on them? 🙂 This Sunday was…
I bought this really cool Making Memories set that has die cuts and buttons and embellishments. The set makes me really happy. It’s full of so many goodies! The first thing I had to use was one of the butterflies. Isn’t pretty?
I used glue dots to attach the ribbon. I do this often because of a couple of reasons:
1. I don’t tie bows all that well
2. I hoard my ribbon and therefore…
So, my computer’s video card is busted, and apple had to send it out for repairs. Ack! I hate being without my computer. I miss it!! Right now I am borrowing my husband’s computer. He’s such a sweetie! Unfortunately, you guys will have to wait for a video this week until I get my computer back. I hope it’s soon! Well, I still want to do a color etsy love today! What would Monday be…
So my computer’s screen will not work today. It looks like the video card might be busted. I am waiting for an 8pm appointment with the genius bar at an apple store. I am just hoping that it is not a major problem because my life is on that computer. I work from home and everything is on there! I do have a back up but no computer to back it up to. I had…
I decided to make some more versions of the card I make for the Color Inspiration Challenge #48. It was fun to try some different color schemes!
I love green and blue together. The brighter hues make it a lot of fun!
I love the flower on this one!! It’s so pretty. It’s a really soft velvety fabric. I wish I could remember where I got it! It reminds me of my honeymoon in…
