My Other VSN unposted card

I really like how this turned out...I also got it in th email late but hopefully my Friend will forgive me I am sure it has arrived by now.  I love the look of a quilted background. and I like how these colors went together. I used several Embossing folders Once Upon  Princess, Tartan Plaid and Dots all Cuttlebug.  SU "You're a Gem" was used for the Sentiment.. ..need to use this set more. I used my oval punches to accent the sentiment...and for cardstock I used SU Certainly  Celerly, a Bulk Kraft and a Turquiose from my stash probably both from Michaels.  SU Early Espresso was used for Cardstock and ink. The ribbon is from my Stash green from last junes wedding the turquoise and Brown are Offray Purchased at Walmart.

Hello Owen and My Sis's Late Birthday Card

So I have been busy the last few months...My DD had her baby a cute little Grandson isnt he the cutest...I made this card before I headed out of town, but never got it posted...never got it mailed for that matter either..Poor Sister has been waiting for weeks.
He came a few days sooner than expected.  I used Pretty in Pink, Kiwi Kiss, and Melon Mambo. I embossed with Cuttlebug Dots, and Victoria.

I used mySU Cupcake and Decorative Label and MS Arched Lattice punch.
The SU stamp sets are Eat Cake and Whimsical Words

I hope you enjoyed the pictures...Hoping to be caught up around the house soon, so I can have more crafting time.
Until Later (Hopefully Sooner) ... Happy Stamping!

Almost Mini-VSN

last Friday night in the chaos of my house on a Friday night I mananged to make  2 cards for the Mini VSN. Also in the chaos I never uploaded them to my computer nor took pictures of them.

One got used by my FIL on Sunday Evening as it didnt have a sentiment and he wanted a card to give my DD for her College Graduation. So I managed to get a picture of one and so I thought I would share it here.

It was made for this Sketch...and by the way a very odd and akward sketch at that I think I did okay with it but mind you it is a difficult sketch to use. It was hard to get a good flow going...I think I managed by using the purple gems to get a flow but you be the judge what do you think.
I will have to get the ingredient list and post it later I know I wrote it out, but I have a ton to do to get my DD's Birthday gifts in the mail.
Untill Later ...Happy Stamping!

Karissa and Ryans Invites

Every once in a while it is nice to help someone out with the skills I have; so this week I helped out a friend by making some wedding invites for  her son and his fiance. They moved their date up by a few months and have not had the opportunity to get enough money together.  My firend asked if I could help out. I used Photoshop amd a free brush set I downloaded called DecorativeFloral Brushes:by Pixels and Ice Cream:   I get the brushes and other decorative features for using in Photoshop at Brusheezy, and Fonts at Dafont...English was used for these announcements.  I love having a computer and a nice printer when a friend needs something with a quick turn around.  I also used my stash to punch all the Scalloped ovals. Using up scraps from the wedding invites I made last year for my DD is  areal bonus. I dont know if I have any scraps of CC left...:) which hasnt been the case in over a year. I used SU Punches,  CB Swiss Dots Embosiing folder and  RGB codes for Certainly Celery and Mambo Melon. The lime ribbon is an inexpesive Offray satin .50 cents a roll with an Organza Strawberry ribbon 2.89 for 25 yards on sale.  SU Certainly Celery was used to mat the image..  The Postacrds and Registration cards were designed using an image designed in photoshop from the same floral brush set and  English font. The return address is printed on the reverse to help cut down mailing cost for the RSVPs.  I'ld like to say these were fun to make but when you make 200 of something a little bit of the fun wears off, but it was fun to come up with a design and produce the first few!

Until Later... Happy Stamping!

Spots and Dots Birthday Card

well finally after 3 attempts.

I made my CC318 Color Challenge Card for SCS.

 I have failed miserably 2 times because I used either Peach Parfait or Melon Mambo on the last two...

I used my Cuttlebug Spots and Dots EF. I Havent used it in ages..I forget I have it. Tonight my husband asked me as I was putting this card together. "How do you remeber what you own?"...I said," I dont!"...so today this was like using a brand new folder.. Well thats my story and  I am sticking to it...;) I used scrap roses and leaves from my last card.  for other details please ask!
Until Later...Happy Stamping!

Easter Wishes

Happy Easter Everyone! Iwanted to give another go at the Color Combo Challenge for SCS last week. I goofed and used Peach Parfait last time. well this card was in the process of using only SO Saffrron, Pear Pizzazz, and Pretty in Pink, when I decided it really needed the Melon Mambo ribbon and roses. Can you call Melon Mambo a Neutral? LOL..I thought not!  I decided the paper flowers would be pretty  in a liitle spray on a card front. Every time I make these flowers I wonder if they would turn out just as good if I made them out of fondant and put them on a cookie or cupcakes...someday I will have to find enough time to try!This time I used my Scalloped Circle punch from SU. I really like how the scallops make cute little petals for the flowers. I used my MS leaves Punch  to dress up the roses.  I really like the So Saffron background Embossed with Victoria EF. The sentiment is from SU: Something to Celebrate Stamp Set. I love how this card turned out. I know My SIL will love it too. She always feeds us the most lovely Easter Dinner.  Making my Easters extra special. I wanted to make her an extra Special Card. I hope she likes it.  I hope you have an Extra Special Easter Also.

 Until Later...Happy Stamping!

"Keep Dreaming"

This week I had a fullfillment of a dream I had for my Children. My Daughter graduated from college with a degree in Mathmatics Education.  Her Husband also graduated in Latin American Studies. I am so proud of both of them.  What an accomplishment!  I mad ethem this card. I thought of using congratulations or Celebrate on th eCard but decided that Dream worked great.. because of the fullfillment of a Dream and the  Dreams yet to come in their life.

I hope they like the card. I used Pear Pizzazz, and Melon Mambo.  I havent got my Melon Mambo stamp pad yet, so, I sponged with Pink Passion, and Certainly Celery using the SU Decor stencil  set, "Faux Flowers". The ribbon is stash form th ewedding last June and I used the sentiment form fabulosr Phrases. I lov ethis style of card every time I make them. Hope you do to.
Until later...Happy Stamping!
