Happy blog anniversary to me the winner of blog candy is…..

Hello Stampers! Don’t you just love this card? I used my nestabilities for all of the layers. The main die is thenew label die and the circle is just the circle nestabilities die.

I stamped the bug fly onto a transparency and cut it out, colored with copic markers and attached it together using my crystal lacquer.

Please pardon any spelling and other errors on this post, my dog Lexie has taken up residence in my lap and refuses to move. She is so sweet. With my husband out on business I think she gets lonely.

On a side note, thank you so much everyone for your questions and comments about the boys. Craig continues to do fantastic at technical school in Mississippi and Chad has started out the school year wonderfully. He is also been very helpful around here. I’ve appreciated the help with the house hold chores.

If you are wondering, yes I forgot today was the 9th, and this post is going to be published on the 10th, but since I had already drawn the candy, I decided to just wait and republish this post.

Don’t worry my followers, I will be posting blog candy again soon! I hope you will come back and visit just because you want too!

Ok here is the announcement:

For Ms. Vivian

Happy Labor Day!

I have spent the day by doing a 10 minute tidy and then I started stamping.
***
I found this sketch here. I turned the sketch side ways so the sentiment would fit at the bottom of the image. The stamps are from Hampton Arts and are clear stamps. They are so much fun to play with.

***
I used the sunflower and stamped it with momento tuxedo black ink and cut out and layered it onto the scallop circle and white circle. Sponged the edges of the circle, added pretty brown ribbon and dew drops. Easy. The hardest part is being patient enough for the stickles to dry.

***

We received some much needed rain over night. It looks like we will get a bit more this evening. Which is good news. Bad news is our tomatoes have a condition known as Blythe. Many of the tomatoes are rotting on the vine and it will be a bit of a mess to get them all taken care of.

***

I hope you are all enjoying a day of rest maybe some craft time and a cook out.

Have a great day and Happy Stamping! Blog candy ends September 10.

Fun stamping projects and blog candy draws to a close!

Hi Gang!

***

I hope you are all doing well! I’ve been stamping up a storm this last week.

***
I joined a movers and shakers swap that isn’t due until November, but of course since I had the need to stamp, I finished them all up. They all have spinners on the back and bugs on the front. Except for some minor stamp re-arranging they are basically exactly the same except for the colors I choose to use.

***

Blog candy will be drawn on September 10. My second blog anniversary. The winner will receive a surprise in their box in addition to the blog candy I’ve previously mentioned. I’m celebrating 25+ thousand hits on the blog!

Today I’ll tidy up the house and get some birthday cards for the birthday random act of kindness stamped today. I’ve created one card and need to do about seven more.

Have a great day and enjoy this last weekend of summer!

Stamp Happy!

Pop corn sleeve! Blog candy until September 10!

Hi stamping friends!

I made this pop corn sleeve for a challenge with the local girls. This weeks theme is food. It could be a card, but I opted to use a food item. This is a bag of cinnamon pop corn.

***

I used a shiny yellow paper as my sleeve, stamped the image using memento ink and colored with copic markers. I then used the 3 dimensional liquid applique and glitter. It was then heat set so the pop corn looks real!

***

My friend Kathi will be receiving these goodies and some others for winning the last challenge which was a grid challenge card. I’ll post the other goodies once I am finished with them.

****

Good news! Craig’s package finally made it to him. Of course, mom’s replacement package went postal with delivery confirmation today. He loved the clipboard and the post it holder. He thought they were interesting and very nice. His favorite things where the small bottle of hand sanitizer and the antibiotic spray. Of course he appreciated all of the candy and food goodies I put in the package. He actually had to ask a clerk to please go look for his package and found out that it arrived on August 22. It has been sitting there all this time.

***

Blog candy will be drawn on my second blog anniversary on September 10, 2009. In the pot, an altered pie piece filled with candy, clipboard tags, Hampton Arts stamp set “Who loves you” and $25.00 cash. I will try and shoot a video this week so stay tuned!

Have a great day! Stamp Happy!

Two pretty and cute cards!

Hello my friends!

Today has been a very quiet but nice day here! The weather is starting to cool off just a bit and it is a great day for stamping!

***

My sweet husband let me sleep in this morning. I have been putting off cleaning the upstairs bathroom all week, he cleaned it for me this morning and let me sleep. I slept until almost 11:00 am, I felt so refreshed when I woke up. I haven’t slept well all week and it was so nice to get a good night’s rest!

****

Both of todays cards are simple. I used simple layering and embossing ribbon and the sentiment. One is a birthday random act of kindness card and the other is for my little sister this round of Divine secret sisters on splitcoast stampers.

****

Blog candy until September 10,2009. A reminder in the pot is $25 in cash, rub on alphabet, and chipboard tags. I am also including a pie box filled with candies and (*new) 20 clear stamps from Hampton Arts called “Who Loves You”, a cute owl themed set with many possibilities for great cards and scrapbook pages!

Stamp Happy!
