Cards from me 2 you.

There are some days that I am really glad that my keyboard is black, because underneath it is most likely some muddy shade of every stamp color that I own. Here are some cards that I have been working on lately...

For a friend's mom.

Paper pieced from K&Company: Happy Trails Hot Flowers. Stamp: the {Stamps} of life, Club Exclusive Ltd Edition #6

For my sister-in-law's mom.

This paper is really old. I have no idea where it came from, other than my "Pink, Purple and Yellow" stack. Stamp: flower2doodle

For my great aunt.

Paper: Card Stack #2. Stamps: branches4flowers

For my neice on her First day of First grade.

Ribbon: Berwick Offray1" berry double faced grosgrain. Stamps: kites2fly


Thanks for looking!

Siblings

T-minus ONE WEEK until all the kiddies are together again. J, K and Mini-me are coming for a visit! I think I will most enjoy the babies together, they can play and point and babble with each other while all the adults ooh and ahhh over them!


And I leave you tonight with this picture of my Ryan doing what he does best :D

Daughter/Mother Challenge 1

At CKC this year, mom and I came up with an amazing idea while standing at the {Stamps} of Life booth - we joined the stamp of the month club and decided on some friendly creative competition to spice it up a bit (and, to give us additional excuses to use the stamps).

At the beginning of August, we received our very FIRST set, Branches4Flowers:


After we get the stamp set, we each give ourselves one week to get our creation in the mail. I send mine to my mama, and she sends me hers! We wait until we both get them and then open together. It's such a fun phone call discussing technique, paper and colors. I <3 talking "shop" with my mom and it's so fun that we enjoy the same type of hobby.

Here is my card. It started as a #10, then decided to cut it down to an A2 - giving me a cute little gift card on the right.

Goodies List: Stamp: The {Stamps} of Life, Branches4Flowers; Ink: Adirondack, Slate; Paper: DCWV La Creme Stack; Punch: Martha Stewart, Butterfly; Die Cut: Nestabilities, Small Scalloped Ovals; Ribbon: by the yard from LSS.

Thank you for looking - at check out my Mamacita's blog for her creation!

Learn to Fly

I must confess that for a while now I haven't been feelin "it." I don't really know what "it" is, nor where "it" went. Water under the bridge because I'm glad "it's" back. Going to CKC Valley Forge last weekend really helped. It was good to replenish the scrapbooking supplies and recharge with my mommy.

Here is sketch 5 that I post on scrapbaby! sketches on facebook.


I surprisingly stayed true to my sketch! A beautiful picture of my beautiful neice was just the mojo and momentum I needed to bring "it" back.
