My Sister & Nephew

This is just one page in a whole stack I've done recently for my mom of her pictures. My sister sent these to mom for Christmas one year, but I couldn't find the date.

Papers: CTMH Emporium

My beautiful Mom

had her glamor shots done a few years ago. I think she look awesome

the last photo has a weird reflection of me taking the picture of it... but I already had the camera put away so I'll live with it.

I stickled the flowers on the left

PPC-CC#6 and Stamping 411-SSC144

Whew, life has been so busy lately! But thank goodness I took time tonight to play in my attic. Since time is short for me for another week or so, I combined PPC Challenges with Stamping 411 again... for some reason, these two challenges just work great together! So here's my dual entry:


Inside of card says "You brighten my day!"

Stamping 411, Challenge 137

Last weekend, I discovered Stamping 411, they change their challenges on Saturday which is perfect for me and so far I have found a card everything that just does it for me. This card I like so much that I'm actually doing two versions of it. This is the first one:

Valentine's Cards for Ike's class 2010

My 8 year old loves to make his class Valentine's Day cards every year. Last year his teacher thought I made them all for him, so I had to correct her - they're his! I let him choose the papers to buy and how to cut them out, sure I make suggestions but if he doesn't like my idea, it doesn't happen. So, here are Ike's class cards for this year:


Products Used: Oriental Trading Post-Lovey Dovey Papers, Cricut-Platin SchoolBook cartridge, CTMH-Annotations Stamp Set and White CS

You & Me... All Thru the Seasons

I thought of my best friend while making this card, maybe I shouldn't post it and mail it to her instead.... naw! I can't show it off to everyone else that way! Hey, Tricia, let me know if you want the original! lol



Products Used: CTMH Four Seasons Stamp Set, Cocoa Ink Pak, CTMH Soul Mates Stamp Set, CTMH Atomic Lower Case Stamp Set, CTMH Colored Pencils (retired)

Easel Card

My Best Friend, Tricia, sent me a link to Rachel's blog which had instructions for an easel card... I just had to give it a try:




I don't think it turned out too bad and will look even better once it's been put in my stack for a little bit to flatten out. Here's a link to Rachel's website: http://www.stampingbyrachel.com/2010/01/sweet-always-easel-card.html

Products Used: CTMH-That's Amore paper, blush ink pad, hollyhock ribbon, and crochet flower; We R Memory Keepers medium & large flowers

A Different Inspiration

I gotta confess, on this one I found another blog from MPS's challenge and liked what she did so much that I decided to lift it. Here's where I got it from: http://kidscollage.blogspot.com


I used all CTMH on this one: Emporium paper, Dream Big Stamp Set, Beautiful Things Stamp Set, CTMH CS in Sweet Leaf, Crystal Blue, and Buttercup, CTMH Cocoa Ink Pad
