Happy Anniversary

I know … I’ve been a bad blogger! I’m sorry. I just haven’t had any creative mojo the last several days!

It’s bad timing too … I leave in 8 days for a 3 day scrapbooking retreat. Deb and Jane put on a GREAT retreat 2 times a year. This will be the 5th one I’ve been to, and they are totally worth the time and money invested each time! (And yes, that is me in the top picture, I’m not sure how I got that honor!)

Anyway, this card I finally forced myself to make tonight! I still wasn’t feeling all that great, but I used Jen’s Sham Battle Sunday Sketch Challenge to get myself in gear, and I’m pretty happy with the results really. The papers are Bazzil and Chatterbox (Greenhouse Bouquet). The stamps, ink, brads and ribbon are all CTMH. Plus of course I used Marvy punches, and SU slot punch.

On a seperate note, I took delivery of my Paper Towers that my great Dad made for me. It’s not totally organized yet the way I want it, but that’s going to take some time to go through and make a final decision on how to sort my paper (mostly CTMH, and mostly in zip lock bags).

Hope you have a great week! I’m going to try and get a tutorial of Polished Stone done up this week! Keep an eye out!

More Polished Stone

Here’s another Polished Stone Card. I love this technique. I don’t know if this piece of it turned out as nice as the one from the previous card, but I still like how this card turned out.

It’s 5×7. The colors are Olive (CTMH). Stamps are CTMH.

Wedding Rings … Polished Stone!

Sorry it’s been a few days. I’ve been tired, and not feeling well most of the week and getting to bed before 9pm until tonight.

This is a 3×3 card, using the Polished Stone technique. All product is CTMH.

Acetate Autumn Card

I’m sticking with the same Autumn supplies. I ran across Lin’s today and LOVED this card. I’d seen them before, but never made one before.

It was hard to get a good pic, but this was the best I could get without taking a glare off the acetate!

Guest Artist! My friend Jill R!

This is a card that my friend Jill made. It’s a birthday card for her son who is currently serving in Iraq. I can’t say for sure what supplies she used, besides of course the cuttlebug!! Great card Jill, and thanks for letting me share it!

For Amanda - Blue Socks!

Ok Amanda - here you go! It’s a classy look and I know you’re just jealous of it!

Another Autumn Card!

I was on a roll with these supplies! Loved it all!

Hi Amanda!

Just saying Hey!! Wanted to remind you of our time in the Barnes & Noble parking lot!

Autumn Harvest Cards!

On my weekend away, we went to one of my favorite Scrapbooking Stores … Treasury of Memories in Bellingham, WA. Let’s just say, I dropped a little bit of money in there. But, I bought some cool papers, chipboard, and also ended up getting a Christmas present as well. So it was a great trip!

These cards have very little stamping on them, but the stamps/ink that are used are CTMH, as are any brads. The patterned papers are Flair Designs (LOVE THEM) and the cardstock is Bazzill. The ribbon is from American Crafts Elements (colors are from the Cider collection). And lastly, the flower is a piece of a silk hydrangea that I bought at Micheals and tore apart.

Enjoy!

Merry Bella!

Hey! Sorry for the long break. I was on vacation towards the end of last week. Spent a long weekend stamping with some friends. I got a ton of cards done though - so have lots of new stuff to show all of you!

I also have a Guest Card to share later in the week!!! Stay Tuned for that!

Here is Merry Bella! I’m not so sure this card isn’t missing something, but generally, I like it. It might even be my Christmas card … or at least a version of this card. The papers/inks are CTMH. The saying stamp is from Stampendous!

Christmas Greetings!

I really love this Christmas card. It’s non-traditional colors, and the ornament hanging in the window!

If I didn’t have so many cards to make for Christmas, I probably would make this one, but it’s a little time consuming to assembly line it.

All papers are CTMH as are stamps.
