Essence of Life

Here is a card that we made at the Spring Saturday Stamp fest.  This card uses the Essence of Life stamp set from the Occasions mini catalog.  It also uses Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.  It also uses the Afternoon Tea Designer Series Paper.   Soft Sky and Chocolate Chip inks were used with the rock 'n roll technique.  

Last Project Before We Leave for New York

I just love the Ginger Blossom Designer Paper.  This note card purse and 4 matching notecards are made from the Ginger Blossom Designer paper, Ruby Red, Certainly Celery, River Rock, and Pretty in Pink cardstock.   We will be making a purse like this one at our March Stamp Camp on March 31st.  

If you would like to make your reservation so you can get the pattern for this purse, email or call today.

I just love the stamp set Blossoms Abound.  For these cards I chose to use Elegant Eggplant, Always Artichoke, and Whisper White cardstock.  The inks are Elegant Eggplant, Pale Plum, Always Artichoke,  and Mellow Moss.  The edges are sponged with Elegant Eggplant.

These cards are made with the Sale-a-Bration set Merci.  The lilac card is made using Lovely Lilac and Whisper White cardstock and Certainly Celery Designer Series Paper.  The red card is made using Rose Red and Whisper White cardstock and Certainly Celery Designer Series Paper.  The images have been colored with corresponding watercolor crayons and then blended with the Aquapainter.   Lovely Lilac and Rose Red brads were used.

This card is made using another Sale-A-Bration set....Friendship Blooms.  Cardstock colors are Basic Grey, Soft Sky, and Whisper White. Images are stamped in Basic Grey.  Rhinestone brads and gray taffeta ribbon add the accents for this card.

I've decided to Join the Blogging World

Welcome to my stamping blog

Well............here goes.  This is my VERY FIRST post on my new blog.  I have been reading blogs for a few months now and I really enjoy them.  They have become a main part of my computer time.  I tend to view the stamping and scrapbooking related blogs more than any others so I thought I would finally start my own and here it is.

Keep in mind that it is a WORK IN PROGRESS, so I am sure that I will get better and things will get tweaked as time goes on.    I am going to try and keep it updated every couple of days or so with new projects, but if I don't get it done for a few days, I guess that is life.    I know that I will not  get to post much this next week because I get to go to NEW YORK as a chaperone for my daughter's band and choir trip.  Yes...........I am trading my 25 first graders for 125 high school students.  Call me crazy but I am really looking forward to it...........okay maybe not the 20 hours on the bus, but definitely seeing the sight of the Big Apple.
