Hey Chick!

Hi there and happy Friday!  Wow, yesterday's temps were in the low 80's!  Picked up the granddaughter (a spur of the moment thing after an appointment) and headed to the park.  We sat on a bench to have a little picnic with the meal we grabbed on the way there.  It was so nice sitting there enjoying nature and people watching.  Hope you enjoyed the warmer weather, too. 

It will be Easter soon.  I'm sharing another Card Buffet sample, which was a special request from a customer.  I was happy to oblige with a card from the past because this chick is so cute!  My inspiration came from Corie Foster and her version can be seen here (scroll down to Feb 14 post).

Must tackle my to-do list.  Have a great weekend and thank you for coming by today!

November "Best of" Stamp Set & Oct 3x3

Hi there and happy Friday and a new month!  Can't believe we're in November already!  A new month also means a new "Best of..." stamp set.  This month is Best of Snow (above).  You can view all of the sets by clicking here.  Please contact me if you'd like to order this set or any other products.  You may also order directly from my online store here.  Thanks in advance!

This little 3x3 note was slipped into my customers order bags during the month of October.  It's a small way for me to thank them for their support.  The pumpkin was made by punching out 3 circles, folding them in half and adhering together.  I used our new Envelope Punch Board to make a coordinating envelope.  The sentiment is from Delightful Dozen.

That's it for now.  Hope you have a great weekend and thank you for visiting today!

Flower Garden Get Well

Hi there!  Had a bit of a situation with the computer last week, which is why there haven't been any posts lately.  It's amazing how dependant (addicted?) one gets to the computer.  lol   Unfortunately, my files could not be recovered.  Hard lesson learned about the importance of backing up files on a regular basis!  Discovered that some of the pics on my camera that I hadn't yet deleted were never posted.  Funny how that ended up being a good thing! 

So the above card is one of several cards made a month or so ago but never shared.  Summer Starfruit ink was applied to the inside (flat side) of the Flower Garden embossing folder, added the cardstock, and then ran it through the Big Shot.  I like the effect - kind of a washed look.  The white background panel was embossed with the Square Lattice EF.  My sentiment came from the Delightful Dozen set, which is a great set with sentiments for numerous occasions. 

All Stampin' Up! supplies were used.

So that's it for today.  Hope you have a wonderful week and thank you for stopping in today!

Birthday Fishes

Hi there - another scheduled post while I'm away with my stamping peeps!  I made this cute card at one of Sarah Klasing's monthly classes awhile back.  Most of the products are now retired.  The fish's body was made from the Delightful Decorations set stamped in Only Orange ink and punched out with the ornament punch.  Hey - some current products!  The retired 5-Petal Flower Punch (cut apart) was used for his fins and tail.  His eye is made with circle punches and the "bubbles" are rhinestones. This little guy is happily swimming along the grassy bottom of some lake made using Inspired by Nature (yep, it's retired).

Stamps: Delightful Dozen, Inspired by Nature, Stem Sayings
Paper: Only Orange, White, Ballet Blue
Ink: Old Olive, Only Orange, Black
Other: Ornament punch, circle punch, 5-Petal Flower punch, rhinestones

Can you tell I'm purging my card stash?  They may be oldies but they're still goodies.  Thanks for coming by today!
