I am hoping that I can find time to post paper projects on that I make for you. I am in love with paper. I never thought I would be so excited about such an ordinary thing, but I have to say PAPER is not ordinary. So many beautiful papers are out there, and I just don't want to cut some of it up into pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, what have I been doing? Well, I have taken some time for myself. I have also taken some classes in paper projects. I will show some photos of those. I have also been doing a lot of genealogy. Then there were the family reunions that my sister and I organized for our nieces and nephews and extended families. Those were fun but the torch has been passed down to the next generation now which frees me up to do other things. </p><p><br /></p><p>Although genealogy takes up a lot of time, I intend to continue with a volunteer opportunity, that of co-coordinator of the Technology Special Interest Group (SIG) of the Villages Genealogical Society. I say co coordinator but at this point I am leading the group alone. I am hoping that by the time next fall rolls around someone will step up to the plate and help me with the group. One would think that I am computer savvy, but I am not. I can turn one on but that is about it. I am able to do research on genealogy programs that are out there and so that is what we do in the Technology SIG.</p><p>Even with that, I am going to start using this blog for my paper things again. As I said early there is so much beautiful paper out there and so little time. I do plan to start out slow so look for a post once a week to begin with. As I get back into the swing of things I will post more often</p>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10766768160165361643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300446606575141903.post-86622846159033943372022-03-30T17:21:00.001-04:002022-03-30T17:21:08.306-04:00Sonny's BBQhttps://www.quikly.com/sonnys-bbq/s/PlXmJdep?utm_content=bloggerPamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10766768160165361643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300446606575141903.post-10773218551376624472017-05-25T15:58:00.000-04:002017-05-25T15:58:46.061-04:00Thursday, May 25, 2017nothing much happening except I had to have and MRI and then a cortisone shot for my right shoulder leaving pretty much useless in making things.

Of course they are made with Stampin Up stamps and dies. The top card is made with Flourishing Phrases and the bottom card is made with the dies for Dragonfly Dreams and stamped with Flourishing Phrases. I can't decide which one I like the best. I have been staring at them both and love them both. The inside sentiment is Good thing you get to bring your best friend along, Congratulations. Let me know which one you like. </div>

a Stampin Up Bundle called Birthday Blast. I die cut the star blast and used the stamp set to Celebrate YOU! On the inside I typed a retirement sentiment on white card stock and cut it to fit the inside. Easy Peasy. The Birthday Blast Bundle is quickly becoming a favorite for quick cards.</div>

Hello everyone, another beautiful spring day in Minnesota. The above card is a birthday card I made for my mother-in-law to give to my grandson, Asher who will be 4 years old next week. I used the Tasty Truck stamp set from Stampin Up. It turned out rather sweet I think with the ice cream cones and the cupcake popped up. I have really used this set a lot to make birthday cards and I know that I will use it again and again. So this is my Tuesday card. Hope You Enjoy!</div>

Well Hello again. It has truly been a very long time. I no longer facilitate a class in card making so I sort of just let my blog go by the wayside. Although I still make cards, I could never give that up, they are usually other people's designs but I have decided to get back in the game just for fun and will post a card every Tuesday and Thursday. I hope you will start following me again and enjoy my cards and blog.Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10766768160165361643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1300446606575141903.post-29119495976090861372014-03-24T16:16:00.000-04:002014-03-24T16:16:28.065-04:00AdditionsWell wouldn't you know I went and figured out what was going on with the additional pictures so here they are. I had a fun time making all of these and I should mention that many I made more than one so Heartland will be getting 35 cards in the mail. They use them to give to the patients that are having a birthday or sometimes a sympathy card for the family. <br />

Here we are using that Flower Shop stamp set and the Scallop Tag Punch. As you can see this was a trickier card than most the others but once I learned the how-to's it was a piece of cake. This was one of the cards that I did for my class and although many were apprehensive at first they ended up loving the card and how simple something so pretty can be. </div>

I embossed in white on vellum, then turned it over and colored in the flowers on the backside. It is such a cool technique and the picture doesn't do it justice. I used Stampin Up products again. A stamp called Easter Blessings, a border embossing folder, framelit dies and DSP. This was another card that my class did.</div>

I did cut out some pieces and used dimensionals to give some dimension and then I used the Happy Day stamp set on the banner.</div>

This was is DSP and then the banner punch from Sale-A-Bration to make small flags. Again the sentiment came from Happy Day stamp set.</div>

It turned out cute but it is unusual. I made a mistake when I stamped the sentiment on the pool party flag and was going to throw the paper away and so I went kind of crazy with the sentiment. I then added flowers and sun spots and decided it was a darn cute card. Hope you agree.</div>

I leave the insides of these cards empty because the staff all will sign their names and sometimes they want to write a little something of their own. </div>

Well I mean that in a lot of ways but finally decided to pull myself together and get back to my life. Actually, for the last several months my life has included teaching card making twice a month. I work with a Stampin Up demonstrator, Kathleen Shea. She makes two cards and I make two cards. We make kits for all the participants and then on class day we go through everything and help the ladies make their cards. I didn't realize how time consuming doing a class like this was. I barely have time to make cards for other things. I have also been going to some stamping classes and just joined an on-line group called StampNation with Catherine Pooler. She is fabulous and the rest of her team is outstanding. I really am learning a lot. I also have been making cards for Heartland Hospice in Roseville, MN. I have been very lax about working on their cards so I spent quite a bit of time this month making cards and that is what I am posting today. I will post some of the other cards I have done for class later on. For right now I am probably going to try and post once a week. I don't know how people post more often than that except they are probably much more organized than I am. <br />
<br />
Oh and before I pull out the cards I made, we had visitors from the north a few weeks ago and I must post a few photos of some of the cutest boys on the planet, my two youngest grandsons, Cohen and Asher. They both love the water as you can see. Cohen is 3 and Asher is 10 months old. So much fun and we really enjoyed having them visit. <br />

This card was made with the Flower Shop stamp set and punch from Stampin Up as well as their new Scallop Tag Punch and some of last years DSP. I also used a Stampin Up stamp set that I just bought called Happy Day.<br />

Here is another Flower Shop, Happy Day stamps and Scallop Tag card. Sort of just couldn't stop using them they are fabulous.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA46pfzwfMw1CHRgocCC7IoeAQD1aEkrLmN2-6OLkUtg3Y29ItdlH7NSPvcsqT_HhidXsdSQwBf80FQtsf439NjQpJJYbyruEP7SG5Ev9lae1dQYx4tigN0SWa7X8cmFUAzgBKxQUui9Xt/s1600/DSCN4279.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA46pfzwfMw1CHRgocCC7IoeAQD1aEkrLmN2-6OLkUtg3Y29ItdlH7NSPvcsqT_HhidXsdSQwBf80FQtsf439NjQpJJYbyruEP7SG5Ev9lae1dQYx4tigN0SWa7X8cmFUAzgBKxQUui9Xt/s1600/DSCN4279.JPG" height="240" width="320" /> Again I used the Flower Shop and Happy Day sets but used a scrap of DSP and Calypso Coral cardstock on Tempting Turquoise. I really love this color combination.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhxbyfXvRt5pu7qkE24CkttIe6gQ9MRQw-mkfqDn0GzaynK4QLUFLdNdRaptN4k13oEbLzMONar_Wldaq9FjT-qCeYr2E45Fqt7D1OquyOcemL9CauIM57z0qO-JztAqGZPWAg_C1XbNEP/s1600/DSCN4281.JPG" height="240" width="320" /> Well I have to say that I am totally in love with this card. This is designer paper mounted on white card stock. I stamped the words from Happy Day stamp set and the card was complete. Sometimes it amazes me how simple yet so beautiful a card can be just with paper. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ3WWAb48k5FXJSKUIVSMIEXmxvwH0mQDVzPReGBwxmw1QLUG5x9AZmRO6uVwHkvY6XmtrcoZWSO5rE905CTzs4NBF1i9uoxMKXDhkWoyYoUfo49pBX7_tmJe8v5PkMETkAGMdcyLGIkei/s1600/DSCN4283.JPG" height="240" width="320" /> Now this card is using older DSP that is no longer available but it is still beautiful and it works well with the card stock that I used. Of course I had to add one of the Flower Shop flowers that I punched out and Happy Days stamp set again.</div>
<br />
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzdM35vWlHpm8nPF-bIbI-S-MNelhXr69cjacOUf2c7Dx0X2qZoQO9CPZ_m7z7eUZ735q9xcSmst4AnNzYhPYxv12IHuAK1xdcRVQKnL5jFwYsZX1t7bb7SUMlVcPT2G5t1W9VPBIaOkiU/s1600/DSCN4293.JPG" height="240" width="320" /> Now this card was done with scraps. I had started to make a card and cut the card stock in the wrong place but I kept it (just in case you know) That is the Pool Party cardstock. I used 4 Stampin Up flower punches on it and the Scallop Tag punch and the older DSP along with the Happy Day sentiment and I was so excited that I didn't throw that card stock away. <br />

I do have more cards that I made for Hospice but am having a little trouble getting them to turn upright. They show that they are upright but when they are moved over here they turn sideways again and so are difficult to see so I will post them later. Until next time happy card making.<br />

We were blessed with a new addition, Asher Dean Kaminsky on May 17. We now have 4 grandsons. Our oldest daughter, Jennifer, recently got a new job, our oldest grandson, Brandon, finally got the courage to take his driver's test, Blake our thirteen year old has a girlfriend and Asher's brother, Cohen is in love with trains just like his Poppa Dave. Brian is working and doing all right and Katy and Andy sold their home and are starting the process of building a new home. Today was Dave's 60th birthday and we celebrated by going to the trains at Bandana Square. Tomorrow we will do a big family thing at Broadway Pizza, Dave's favorite food. <br />
I have been blessed with a wonderful family I couldn't ask for anything better. <br />
<br />
I am teaching a card class twice a month with a wonderful friend. I enjoy this class so much. I plan on placing all my designs on this blog as soon as I get my computer repaired so I can download photos. <br />
<br />
So for now I am putting up some photo's of cards that may be a little old but cards that I love none the less.<br />
<br />
Have a blessed 2014<br />

I did golf in a league during the summer in Minnesota. I golfed with the Osseo United Methodist Church women's league and what a great group of women they are. I didn't improve my game but I sure enjoyed myself. We also went on our annual Wisconsin Dells, Christmas Mountain adventure with the entire family. It is usually a chaotic time but the grandkids love it and just don't want to stop going there. Besides, I love the birthday present they create for me while we are there. My birthday is in September and I have been getting a picture of my grandsons. The first portrait I got was for my 60th birthday and it was a beautifully framed sepia tone of the 3 grandsons I had at the time. Brandon, Blake and baby Cohen. Well this year they surprised me with a canvas, which included Brandon, Blake, almost 3 Cohen and baby Asher. There were also pictures of the entire family.<br />

From left to right the back row is my son-in-law Andy, our daughter Katy, our son Brian and that tall one in the yellow shirt is grandson number one, 15 year old Brandon, our daughter Jennifer, grandson number 2, 13 year old Blake whose birthday we always celebrate at the Dells. In the front is my awesome husband Dave and he is holding 2 year old Cohen and that is me holding the newest addition to our family Asher. I am proud of all of them they work hard and have accomplished so much. Well enough of that mushy stuff. <br />

We left MN in late September and headed east. We decided that we were not going straight to Florida but detoured from our regular route and visited states that we had never been to before. Our first stop was Indiana where we seen the Studebaker Museum (awesome place to visit by the way) and Notre Dame. The it was off to Cleveland, Ohio and the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Then it was off to Niagara Falls, NY. OMG we had the best time in Niagara Falls. From the falls we spent a little relaxing time in Vermont where the fall is stunning. From there we headed down south to Boston and visited our friends Muriel Moore and Lois Cavanaugh. They are such wonderful ladies. Of course we had to do a tour of Boston which exhausted us. And from Boston it was to Florida. It was a fabulous way to get to Florida. Next fall we will try a different route. <br />

I just got a Samsung Note for my birthday so was playing around and taking pictures as we drove. I think they didn't turn out to badly. We had a wonderful time but we were both glad to get home to Florida. There was plenty to do around the house. It seems that we got struck by lightning and are having to replace all kinds of stuff or get stuff repaired. Yikes. </div>

I also was asked to fill in teaching a card making class for a lady whose husband is ill. Of course I said yes so I have been busy with that and now I can show you some of the wonderful cards I have made. Some for the class and others I made while taking a class. I do love my card making. I also love shopping for supplies. 3 friends, Shirley, Pat, Linda and I took a trip down to Ruskin, FL where there is a shop called Sparkle and Sprinkle. We made a card and they have so much stuff oh my. Shirley has the picture of us in front of the store and I will have to get it from here. Now before we get to the cards I should tell you that I do more than make greeting cards. I go to plays and concerts and Dave and I go to one of the town squares to listen to music and dance. Thanks to my prosthetist I am able to dance again and I am getting braver all the time. Now on to the cards</div>

However he wanted a Santa, a golf cart, golf clubs toys and a sled. Well I looked all over for a Santa in a golf cart and there just isn't one to be found. I even looked into having a stamp made (cost prohibitive) so this is what I ended up with. Actually the card is better looking than the photo and I think it turned out great. He liked them so much he asked me to make 6 more. Bob is 91 so for him to purchase 26 cards was awesome. I just wish I could have found Santa driving around in a golf cart. After all I am in Florida.</div>

It is a wonderful set to use when making masculine cards but the set could be used to make feminine cards as well. I love the simplicity of this card yet it looks awesome.</div>

I was playing around making flowers and die cutting swirls and doilies and decided to use them all on one card. This is really outside my comfort zone but it came together quickly and in my opinion it is beautiful. I used it for my oldest daughter, Jennifer's birthday</div>

I copied a technique that we did when I was in Ruskin. We took two sided adhesive tape/paper and covered an entire image after we colored it. I chose to do this cute snowman from Stampin Up's Best of Snow stamp set. I used Sizzix dies and glossy paper to emboss snowflakes on. I love it;. I am having difficulty with non-traditional Christmas colors so for me this was a huge success</div>

I found the design on Heartfelt Creations Blog. I liked the idea of not coloring in everything and thought that it would be a quick card to make since I send out over 100 cards. Boy was I fooled. This card took me hours and the help of my friend Shirley to complete. I wanted to add a little sparkle so I used a product from Sparkle and Sprinkle called Cloud Nine Velvet Glitter. Oh my </div>
this glitter is so soft. Amazing stuff.<br />
<br />
Well this was an unusually long blog since it has been such a long time. I will have more cards next week. So I hope people will take a look at these and enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making the cards and the memories.<br />

I can't take credit for this design. It was a card a demonstrator, Jackie Walker, sold at one of the flea market's in Florida. I needed an Anniversary card so I thought this was just the ticket. The pick card stock was embossed with the Stampin up rose embossing folder. I think this is the first embossing folder that Stampin Up came out with. I stamped a script on whisper white paper and placed the embossed cardstock over that. I then added a sentiment label and highlighted that with two black brads. <br />
<br />
I do love how this turned out and plan to use the idea again and again.<br />

I must apologize for the lack of posts the last several days. My camera was on the fritz for one thing. I wasn't able to take pictures but now things are fixed. I will be doing another post today with a card for you but I wanted to say hi and let you know I will be up and running again.<br />

It just wasn't a good day for me and I was unable to accomplish anything. One of those stay in bed kind of days. So because I didn't blog yesterday I have two cards for today.<br />
<br />
First off there really is nothing new going on in my family. School is almost over for the two older grandsons but we were able to attend both of their choir concerts so that was great. The two youngest boys are doing well. Baby doesn't like sleeping at night much but there is a doctor appointment for him today so maybe the doctor can provide some insight. <br />
<br />
Anyway on to cars. June has a lot of events; babies, weddings, graduations, anniversaries and lots of birthdays. My great niece, Kyla is having a birthday on Monday so I made a card from a bicycle die that I recently purchased.<br />
<br />

I used a red card base and mounted a white dry embossed mat on the card base. I embossed it with a post card embossing folder from Tim Holtz. I then cut a black waving scrap of card stock, with a Creative Memories wavy cutter (retired), for my road. I used this wonderful bicycle die from Memory Box running through the big shot twice and then I also ran it through with a scrap of brown for the basket. I used the silver card stock for the bike base and then I cut out pieces of the red bike for accents. I used two crystals for the center of the wheels, bakers twine in blue to hold up the birthday banner. I really like how this card turned out. Great for a tween, teen or anyone that likes bicycles.<br />

Now this second card is for my younger sister, Bobbie, whose birthday in June 4. Need I say that my sister enjoys going to casinos and that is usually a place that her wonderful hubby (he enjoys casinos also and also has the same birthday) takes her two on her birthday. I used a stamp from Sparkle N Sprinkle for the image. I die cut the image out with Stampin Up's Apothecary die then sponged the edges in a blue. I used a plain blue mat and a white dry embossed mat which was embossed with a Darcie embossing folder. I almost forgot that I colored the image with Stampin Up and Copic markers. Most of my Stampin Up markers are in Florida which I am finding that I miss those water based markers a whole lot. I guess I am going to have to transport a lot more things back and forth.<br />
<br />
Have a wonderful weekend and see ya Monday!<br />

I am afraid that I have not made a card today and I haven't any to post. However I will make an excuse for myself. At 5 am this morning my husband gets out of bed and turns on a light. I look at my clock and tell him it is only 5 and then I hear him putting on his jeans. Now usually first thing in the morning he puts his sweats on so I asked him where he was going. He tells me he has to go and watch grandson #3 because Katy is having her baby today. Now up to this point my daughter has made no commitment to me about a C-section or natural child birth. I said I never heard the phone ring. He said that no was is suppose to know but she is have a C-section. Weird. So off he goes. He calls me about 7am and asks me how I am and I tell him I am getting ready to go out with my friend Roxanne for breakfast because we planned it earlier in the week. Someone should have said something if I wasn't suppose to make plans. <br />
<br />
Well half way through my breakfast around 9:00 I got the call. I am the proud grandmother of Asher Dean Kaminsky. He is a sweet and precious little boy that I know will be a wonderful addition to their family. <br />
And just to prove it here is a photo of big brother Cohen holding his new brother.<br />

I seen a card using the same stamp set and thought it was so cute. I took a pick because I wanted to try and replicate the card but using my telephone which doesn't take great photo's (still use a flip phone) made it difficult. So I decided to just select some paper to use and go for it. Actually, the card did turn out well and I think I might try it with different dies and colors at a later date but I wanted to create one for my daughters in-laws because they recently purchased a second home in Bonita Springs, FL. <br />
Here is the card:<br />

So the stamp set I used is called Prehistoric Girl from My Favorite Things. It is a wonderful set. It has several sayings as well as the girl and the foot prints. I used a couple scraps of of designer paper from Gina K designs. I also die cut a border using a dotted scallop border from My favorite things. I punched out flowers with a stamping up retired punch and used large pearls for their centers. I used Adirondack dye ink in Mushroom to stamp the focal image and then colored the focal image with Copic markers. The paw prints and the sentiment were stamped with caramel dye ink<br />

We had a really hot day in Minnesota yesterday, it was in the high 90's. Today however it is in the mid 70"s and the trees have leaves on them. Ah, Spring is finally here and I will be a grandma for the 4th time very soon. I am very excited. We don't know what sex the baby is which makes it all the more exciting.<br />
<br />
Well back to card making which I find is one of my favorite things to do when I need relaxation. Before I show you the card I made for you today I want to share a card that I received for my birthday last fall. I fell in love with this card.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIRw5RyPwhpY3m2URpsdis0TZdrWk1bGv0hoSo9OzBxk_9u4pN1ZW_cIC22bRYbKM0OTP50ttCdkapgltXkirypg0qP3Q_eiZvedbbpwqvLSUlK1TDMf2yK0qfhyphenhyphenGb_YhDSsQ8GqaNvbl/s1600/DSCN2400.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinIRw5RyPwhpY3m2URpsdis0TZdrWk1bGv0hoSo9OzBxk_9u4pN1ZW_cIC22bRYbKM0OTP50ttCdkapgltXkirypg0qP3Q_eiZvedbbpwqvLSUlK1TDMf2yK0qfhyphenhyphenGb_YhDSsQ8GqaNvbl/s320/DSCN2400.JPG" width="262" /></a></div>
This card is so pretty. I think this branch is from a Stampin Up set and the flowers are also from a retired Stampin Up punch. The butterflies are from a Stampin Up embosslit. My friend, Donna, doesn't do a lot of card making so I really appreciate this card. I liked the scoring she did around the edge of the inner white piece. It is just barely noticeable on this picture but it is there.<br />
<br />
Now for the card I made. I have been fooling around with the Eclipse sticky paper. I found a die and stamp set by Sizzix and Hero Arts. I thought the flower die was simple so that it would look more obvious than the last card I made. I didn't like it. The idea behind this is to end up with a white silhouette. This flower left too much white space. Any way let's get down to specifics. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2VqtDjyXbxCeNnbFwNH3n19RzaEq3FVOuJQXAUXGVflGuAhaEea1SP9-9-w1za1QV6VwNRQ1v-NaQ6I6ffJZbHIoObqpN3AT8XJgJIGMmWepDT3WAOzuSsq1zBogSw1-CbDgmACb6MNZd/s1600/DSCN2397.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2VqtDjyXbxCeNnbFwNH3n19RzaEq3FVOuJQXAUXGVflGuAhaEea1SP9-9-w1za1QV6VwNRQ1v-NaQ6I6ffJZbHIoObqpN3AT8XJgJIGMmWepDT3WAOzuSsq1zBogSw1-CbDgmACb6MNZd/s320/DSCN2397.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="259" /></a></div>
I placed the Eclipse sticky sheet 3 X 3 over the Inchie Art mat board. I then ran the square with the flower through the big shot then removed the background. I sponged the background using blush blossom and regal rose. I used a peach rectangle 5 1/4 X 4 inches for the back drop; which I ran through the big shot with a dotted swiss embossing folder. I found a scrap of rose ribbon and used that around the back drop. I mounted the peach on the white card base. I then cut a white square 3 1/4 X 3 1/4 inch and mounted the mat board on to that and the entire square went on the peach back drop. I then used Stickles to outline the white flower and left the Stickles to dry. I was really unhappy with the white space so I took the stamp that matched the die and inked it with regal rose and moss green ink and stamped it. Much happier. I also like lots of bling. I added small pearls to each corner of the mat board and to the middle of the knotted ribbon. I wanted to be able to use this card for whatever might come up so I used a stamp from Stampin Up teeny tiny wishes. I then used those new dies that I recently received from Impression Obsession. I inked the edge with regal rose ink, glued it down and put a medium sized pearl. Now that it is finished, I do like the card and I will continue to search for just the right die.<br />

It is for you that I make my cards. Of course I make the cards at least the day before but sometimes I make them weeks ahead of time. This particular card I made Monday evening while waiting for my husband to come home from golfing. I really love this card because of the colors and of course the stamps.<br />

<br />
I started out with an ivory card base. I then dry embossed a rectangle of tan with Stampin Up's Chevron Embossing Folder and adhered it to the card base. I took a scrap of red card stock and used Stampin Up dies Framelits Label Collection and used the 3rd of 6 dies. I stamped my focal image using Stampin Up Serene Silhouettes. I used crumb cake ink and used copic marker strong red to color the birds. I die cut this image using the 2nd of the 6 Label Collection die. I recently purchased a set of banner dies from Obsession Impressions and so I cut out the largest image and using Stampin Up stamp set Teeny Tiny Wishes for the sentiment. I found these cute metal leaves that had a loop on the top and thought that would look really cute on this card and I found a small brad and attached the sentiment flag. <br />
<br />
The more I look at this card the more I love it. It is really reflective of me. Not that I am serene or anything but sure would like to be but the colors and I do love birds. <br />

I know that I had a great Mother's Day although I did miss my oldest daughter Jennifer and my two oldest grandsons. I got to spend time with my youngest daughter and her family along with my son. My wonderful husband cooked us steaks which were to die for. Here is a picture of Katy, Cohen and me hamming it up for the camera.<br />

Well after my family all went home, I came to my craft room (Katy's old bedroom) and made a birthday card.<br />

I started out with a stamp set that I thought was so cute as well as versatile, called Happy Hour, from Stampin Up. I took one of the glasses from the set which by the way comes with the straw and umbrella and many other accessories, and stamped it using Gina K dye ink, Ocean Mist. I wanted this to be a summery card so I went to Only Orange an old Stampin Up color and stamped the umbrella. I then restamped the umbrella on scrap paper, cut it out along with the straw. I used dimensionals to pop up the accessories. Since I had purchased ribbon that matched the Ocean Mist ink I added a ribbon and bow. I mounted the entire thing on paper that was a little darker than the ink. I stamped the sentiment in the Ocean Mist ink and mounted it on orange and then popped it up with dimensionals. I added orange crystals to finish off the card and mounted everything on a white card base.<br />
<br />
I like the summery feel with the ocean colors as well as the bright orange. I can't wait to give this to one of my family members for their birthday.<br />

I really cannot explain but I hopefully will have the time this summer to get back into the swing of things and keep up with my blog. I have been making cards and I have a photos for many of them. I just have to sort out the ones that I created on my own from the ideas of other people. I want to make sure that I give credit where credit is due.<br />
<br />
My first card is one that I CASd from Stampin Up demonstrator Jackie Walker using the Zoo Review<br />
Stamp set.<br />
<br />

I used a Kraft card base with black and orange rectangles. I stamped the lion using starfruit and the grass with grass green and old olive. I added orange brads at the top. I like the earthy colors and the peacefulness of the lion. I great masculine card.<br />
<br />
<br />
My next card was a new technique I tried. I seen the technique on a web site called Inchie Art. I started with a 3" matboard square made by Inchie Arts. I then used a product called Eclipse Printable Sheets that have a lightly sticky adhesive. I cut a 3" square of the Eclipse sheet and adhered it to the mat board. Using Spellbinders Shapeabilities die D-lites Medallion One I ran everything through the Big Shot. I then removed the background and lines of the Eclipse paper. I then sponged the square with passion pink ink and calypso coral ink. I matted the mat board square onto a square of calypso coral cardstock and then that square on to ivory cardstock and it all went on a melon mambo card base. I then needed a little bling. I used clear Stickles and covered all the lines of the medallion and added an orange crystal the the center. The picture doesn't do this card justice. I think a more solid die might work out easier but this was a lot of fun to do and it is very pretty.<br />

My third project this week, yes all three were done this week, was to create a gift box. I made three so that my three grandsons could present their moms with a small gift for Mother's day. I used card stock in an orange, lavender and pink and created the box. I then took white card stock and stamped flowers from the mixed bunch stamp set from Stampin Up with versamark ink, took clear embossing powder and then heated it so that I achieved a glossy white look on the paper. The using the matching punch I punched out the three flowers. I used summer smooches brads from stamping up for the flower center. I used the build a bird punch and punched out the birds wing and the branch in green. I used the bird's wings on two of the flowers and the branch on one for the leaves. A fun quick project and my grandson's will have a pretty box to give mom their little gift. <br />

It is a fabulous store with lots of stamps and dies. The card I made is from a die and a stamp set that I got there. I hadn't planned on buying but once in that place I couldn't resist<br />

We are going to Eustis, FL to a store called My Favorite Things. Linda tells me I will love it. She has been there only once and spent way over her budget for crafting supplies. I will let you know more about this wonderful place tomorrow.<br />
<br />
So this card was crafted from some things that I had made a while back and put aside thinking who knows I might use them. Boy am I glad I saved them. I love this card and hope the recepient does to.<br />

I embossed the white with the tiny dot folder and then I embossed the hot pink with a different embossing folder just to try it. I used punches for the hearts and a banner die for the LOVE YOU. Then I found this rose ribbon that I love, love, love and added that. Never know what you can make from left overs. I think this is one of my favorites.<br />
<br />
Until tomorrow<br />
