Good morning, Friends! Well I sure didn't want to get out of bed this morning! Ugh!! Felt so good to stay under the warm blankets. But here we are trying to get our son ready for school. And it's only Tuesday - lol! We will be ready for the weekend!! I had a great stamp club last night! And I am excited to share the cards we made. I think that everyone liked them!
Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Seize the Birthday. A super simple one! This is one of the cards we did at club last night. Bright and fun! I adhered a piece of Sycamore Street designer paper to a piece of Sahara Sand card stock and then wrapped a piece of Island Indigo ribbon from the Sycamore Street ribbon and button pack. Then it is popped up onto a card base of Island Indigo. Then I stamped and the Just Thinking stamp in VersaMark and heat embossed the image with clear emboss powder. I cut around the image and popped it up onto the card. I stamped the image again in Island Indigo onto Whisper White and cut the inside circle out (don't tell anyone, but a 2 1/4" circle punch will punch it out; Becky had one and we used it at the club - lol). This circle is popped up onto the image. Then I added a Tangerine Tango button from the Sycamore Street ribbon and button pack with some white baker's twine threaded through it. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! Another Monday. Another week. Ugh! We had a fun weekend, though! I got a lot of stitching done. Nick had a Futsal game. He loves Futsal! Even though they don't keep score, he loves being able to be active! By the way, Futsal is indoor soccer. Then yesterday he had a basketball game and that was fun! They do keep score there and his team won! He scored 6 points! Tonight it's basketball practice and soccer practice. Thankfully, not at the same time - lol! And here we are at the last of January. Wow! 2013 seems to be moving quickly already!
Today's card was inspired by a sketch at The Sweetest Thing. Karen Giron has great sketches and I haven't played along with her for quite a while. This one, however, doesn't really follow the sketch so I won't enter it. But it did jump start me. I just ended up leaving off the three panels. I couldn't make it work. I'm sure some other creative person would have been able to, but I quite like it this way, too! Super simple!! I adhered a strip of Sycamore Street designer paper that has the bottom flagged to a card base of Pool Party. Then I stamped the Just Thinking image twice onto Whisper White - once in Sahara Sand and once in Island Indigo. I cut out the entire Island Indigo image and adhered it to a piece of Island Indigo card stock. This is popped up onto the card. Then I cut the inside circle out of the Sahara Sand one and popped it up onto the other image. Then I stamped just the 'friend' part in Island Indigo onto a Whisper White strip. I flagged both ends and adhered it to the card. I added two rhinestones to finish it off. Thanks for stopping by an have a super day!

Good Sunday morning, Friends! Today Nick has his first rec basketball game! He is so excited! I am so glad that he gets to keep playing! He really loves the game! And it looks like next week the soccer team will be able to start practicing outdoors as the snow is really melting! Yep! We have been above freezing for a few days! I can hardly believe it!! But for now, it's more fog and rain. I am thankful for the moisture but it can sure leave you a little depressed. Oh, well. Spring will be here soon enough :)
Today's card was inspired by the sketch at Try Stampin' On Tuesday. I don't think that I have ever played along with this challenge. Anyway, I loved the sketch and gave it a go. I thought the sketch was perfect for the Just Thinking stamp. I layered a piece of Sycamore Street designer paper to a strip of Rich Razzleberry that was punched with the dotted ribbon scallop punch. This is then adhered to a card base of Pool Party. I stamped the Just Thinking stamp twice on Whisper White, once in Pool Party and once in Rich Razzleberry. I cut out the Pool Party one and adhered it to a piece of Rich Razzleberry. Then I adhered a strip of Summer Startfruit that was flagged on one end and popped up the panel onto the card. I cut out the circle part from the Rich Razzleberry stamped image and popped it up onto the card. I added three rhinestones to the upper left hand corner and a button from the Sycamore Street ribbon and button pack that has some white baker's twine tied inside it. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning everyone! It's Friday and we are on the road back home. :( It will be a long drive for us. While we are driving I hope that you will enjoy our newest sketch from the Sketch Frenzy Friday team. This week's sketch was created by Sharon Wheet. Take a look!
So cute! Here is what I came up with!
I decided to use some new toys! Yay!! I also went a little monochromatic with this. And I love the way it turned out! I took a piece of Primrose Petals and ran it through the Big Shot with the Honeycomb embossing folder and then tied a piece of Very Vanilla seam binding ribbon around it before adhering it to a card base of Raspberry Ripple. Then I stamped the single stamp, Just Thinking, twice - once in Raspberry Ripple and once in Primrose Petals. From the Primrose Petals one, I cut out the entire image. Yes, the Windows framelits dies will do this for you but I don't own them - yet... From the Raspberry Ripple one I cut out the inner circle. I did find out that we don't seem to have a punch for that. Anyway, I popped up the circle onto the image and then popped up the image onto the card. Then I punched several flowers using the Boho Blossoms punch in Raspberry Ripple, Primrose Petals and Very Vanilla. I wadded these up and adhered them together and then punched a hole in the middle to put my silver brad through. This is adhered to the image.
Don't forget to visit the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog to see what all the other fabulous designers did with this sketch! I hope that you will find time to play along this week! We always love to see what you do with our sketches! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
