Hi everyone! I haven't posted anything new in over a week. I was busy this week helping out at school. I have many cards that are a work in progress, but I haven't completed anything until today. (Edited to Add: Re-took photos since I had better lighting.)
This card incorporates several new SU! goodies and some digi-paper I won from Holly Jones (owner of My Cute Stamps) back in June. The pack is called Delicious Lemonade.
Can I confess I'm still having a hard time embracing the new SU! in-colors? I ordered all 6 inks, but unlike previous years, I didn't order the re-inkers. I always buy the corresponding re-inker when I buy any ink pad (SU! and non-SU!). What about you? Do you do the same?
I loved the card on p. 194 of the latest SU! catalog (US version) and used it as inspiration for this card. I embossed the patterned paper with the the SU! dots Texturz Plate. I don't have the Curly Label punch, but I resized a design on my Silhouette to mimic the punch and cut it out of Bordering Blue paper.
Have a great weekend. I'm headed downstairs to make the guys an Açaí smoothie. It's so hot here; we don't feel like cooking dinner.

Hi everyone! Where is the week going? There is not enough time in the day. I finally ordered from the new SU! catalog. I got my order on Monday. I had to have the Medallion stamp.
Hi everyone! Hope you are having a glorious weekend. We are getting ready to host my sister-in-law and soon-to-be brother-in-law for a lunchtime BBQ. I still have to go to the grocery store for a few items.
I {love} this Mahatma Ghandi quote on this Unity Stamp! I think this is my favorite quote ever.
I stamped this quote quite a while ago, but had never finished creating a card with it. I won this stamp from Tamara (and Unity...thanks!) back in June.
Thanks for stopping by and have a good one!

Hi everyone! I'm back from vacation. I finally had some time to work in the studio last night. Here's a card I started while on vacation.All the items on the card are from a cool paper pack (Carolyn Gavin for K&Company) I bought at Micheal's before we flew to NM. The pack had die cut flowers, leaves, birds, butterflies, and borders. I bought this pack as an activity to do at Kalino's birthday party. His 7 cousins on my side of the family are all girls! I didn't know they would love a Lego-themed party as much as they did, but they also loved making flowers with the K&Company kit. I bought floral wire, buttons, rhinestones, and foam tape to layer the pieces.Even days after the party, they were still assembling flowers.Here's a picture of a few of the girlies at work the day after Kalino's party.
Today is my son's 6th birthday. We are currently on vacation in Taos, New Mexico visiting my family.
I started designing these Lego birthday party invitations several weeks ago. The photo of K was taken last June at Legoland in Carlsbad, CA. His tongue is sticking out...that's a common sight. This kid is not a Disney kid. He has no desire to go to Disneyland, but if he had a say, we would be at Legoland a few times a year.
I wanted to enter this invitation in the Hero Arts Photo Challenge, but I couldn't complete this invitation on time. Cutting out his name was also the first project I attempted with my QuicKutz Silhouette (not smart of my part...there was a bit of a learning curve). These letters are tiny (less and .5 inches high). I downloaded a free Lego font from here. The Silhouette can cut any font on your computer, so it worked out great.
I also used the Lego font on the photo and for the text of the invitation.
The hard part was assembling the 4 layers for each of the small letters.
Card Ingredients Paper: unknown brand of red, white, black, and yellow paper from my stash Tools: computer, printer, QuicKutz Silhouette Other: Legothick font, Tombo glue, Canon Photo Paper Pro, Creative Memories photo splits, foam tape
I'm a full-time mom and passionate paper crafter who fell in love with rubber stamping over 10 years ago. I love creating cards. I wanted to share my creations with others.
