Shelly has responded to the blog, but has yet to EMAIL me at ms.rhetta@verizon.net. Shelly please email me with your snail mail address in the next couple of days so I can get your goodies packaged and on their way to you.
The Halloween pumpkins picture above where carved by Chad. Sorry the Elvis one didn’t come out as well as I had hoped.
The stamps in the picture above I found for $1.00 each at my local Michael’s. They had a fantastic selection.
The other two pictures one is a ribbon maker and the other (obviously) a test tube holder. I will be showing pictures of my new copic storage box soon, I have painted it and am waiting for a stamping up order so I can finish decorating it. It is so neat!
As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Cow’s. I don’t know why, I just love them.
One of my friends once commented “you must own every cow stamp ever made”, well I don’t think I own them all, but I’m sure trying. My favorite cow images are from Penny Black (as the picture above) and the sentiment fits perfectly. The card layout is very loosely based on a MojoMonday sketch week #102. I changed the layout to fit my black and red scheme.
Blog candy continues until Halloween. I hope you will join us then for an exciting drawing! See the picture on my last post for a picture of all of the goodies.
I enjoyed a quiet afternoon and made six of these adorable cards! I need to make six more in the red and black color scene for a swap on split coast.
What a yucky nasty and rainy day. I practiced playing my violin this afternoon but it only lasted about 15 minutes. My hands ached. I need to start taking aspirin before playing.
Just remember the above blog candy lasts until Halloween. There are extra surprises not in the pictures.
OK, for today’s card. It measures a standard 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″ folded. Purple layer is 5 1/4″ X 4″. I used a PK Success punch and shrink plastic for the bats and the ghosts are a sizix retired die. Do you just love the green behind the focal image? It is dryer lint! (It is too funny but it is true).
I’m getting used to a new computer and my video camera, so excuse the typing in the background and the first time I played this through it was rough, it was much better the second time around. It is “Victory in Jesus” from the Baptist Hymnal.
Yesterday was not a good day. I spent some time in bed on drugs with an aching back. My sweet husband even went out and bought me a new heating pad. It was so nice. By early evening My back was much better and we enjoyed some time just watching TV and chatting.
I am busy today! I’ll be starting laundry soon and I’m playing with my Cricut Gypsy. What a neat and fun little toy. I’ve already loaded my cartridges to the machine and am using it. I am still getting used to the features, but one of the great things about this is you can choose any font/image from any of the cartridges you own and you can cut it out with the criccut without the use of a design studio, juke box or even overlays. You just hook up the USB able and a few clicks and you’ve got your stuff done!
I’ll give you a total review once I use the programs more.
Blog candy until October 31, 2009. So far two stamps sets you know about and now two new ones. Both from Hampton Arts, one is called Give Thanks and the other is Autumn is in the air. You may leave a comment any where on the blog for a chance to win. Enjoy the music.
Just a reminder I have only been playing for about a year and a half after a nearly 10 year absence. I have started taking violin lessons and it is so terrific. I have a beautifully talented and patient teacher!
Have a wonderful Sunday. Stamp Happy!
Here it is on youtube, please remember I played it through twice, the second time is much better. But, I promiced I would upload the sound of my sweet violin,mistakes and all!
