Afternoon Picnic

Hi there!  It's been a busy day with a couple of appointments and working on some swaps for the upcoming Demo event Sally Nusbaum is organizing for Saturday.  I'll share those after the event.  But for now, I want to show you the card made for my friend, Jayne Singleton, wishing her a happy birthday.  It was CASE'd almost completely from Mary N. Davidson's card posted to our Demo site, Stampin' Connection.  I used a So Saffron card base and Pretty Print embossed piece to coordinate with the roses in the Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper (even though the color is Crushed Curry).  The DSP was adhered to a Wisteria Wonder mat on top of a doily.  The banner was added, along with a vintage button and some pearls. 

It's been a long day so I'm going to turn in now.  Thank you for stopping by!

Floral Fusion and Happy 4th!

Hi there!  Hope you enjoyed your 4th of July!  My day was pretty full of activities, beginning with taking the granddaughter to our local parade.  The weather was great this year.  After taking Miss M home, I joined my friends for an afternoon of stamping fun. 
OK, now for the card.  It isn't exactly Patriotic....  I CASE'd it from Lee Conrey's card here and used it in our May and June Card Buffets.

Cherry and Suede Eleanor

Hi there and happy Friday!  Do you have big plans for the weekend?  Since next week is the 4th of July, I would think some of you are taking vacation for an extended holiday.  St Louis has a big holiday celebration every year by the Arch - and it's free admission!  It used to be known as the VP Fair years ago but the powers that be, changed it to Fair St Louis.  The nightly fireworks display is awesome.  Enough talk about that.  Let's focus on today's card.  lol
I copied (or CASE'd)  a card that Deana Schultz had when we were at Pam D'Urso's stamping retreat last month.  I don't know if it was Deana's design or a CASE (Copy And Share Everything).  The label and the flower were cut out and adhered to the card front with Dimensionals.

Elegant Eleanor

Hi there and happy Wednesday!  Gosh, I can't believe the week is almost over already!  Where did the time go?  Seems to be the way of life these days.  Hope you're having a good week.

Mary Hoganmiller had this card on her Apr 5th blog post, which I chose to CASE (Copy And Share Everything).  I used a different embossing folder, changed the ribbon treatment a bit, and chose not to put a sentiment on the front.  Guess those small changes make it my own!  lol

Blue Field Flowers

Hi there!  Can you believe we are at the end of another year?  Gosh, where did it go???? 
Today was a good day to stay inside and stamp since it was snowing.  The inspiration for the above card came from Pinterest.  There are soooo many ideas for just about anything on Pinterest!  It's quite an addictive site if you haven't viewed it yet.  Anyway, I decided to make this card in other colors besides Marina Mist.  Such an easy card, too.  The blue area was masked off with Post-It notes for clean, crisp lines.  The stem of Field Flowers was stamped in Black, while the flower was a 2-step process - first in Marina Mist, then Black.  The sentiment is from Perfectly Penned.

That's all for this year.  Hope everyone has a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year!  Thank you for stopping in for a visit today!

Hi there!  Hope you had a great long holiday weekend.  Well, Summer is now unofficially over but you sure couldn't tell by the temps we're having today.  Keep that A/C on a little longer!  Enough about that, huh?  On with today's card, which was pulled from my stash to send to a friend.  It is one that was made with the Wednesday Girls some time ago.  (The Triple Treat Flower and 5-Petal Punch both are now  retired.)  My card was CASEd from Jayne Singleton's here who CASEd hers from Wendy Weixler here.   

Stamps: Triple Treat Flower
Paper:  Night of Navy, Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Regals DSP Stack
Ink:  Night of Navy, Bashful Blue
Accessories:  Fancy Flower Punch, 5-Petal Flower Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, Big Shot, Elegant Lines Embossing Folder, Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon, Dimensionals

That's it for today.  Must get some errands run before I pick up my sister-in-law from the airport and take her to her nephew's house.  Have a great day and thank you for stopping in!
