Meet my card...



clean and simple was the name of my game on this card. Colonial white card base, topped with a embossed colonial white piece. I rubbed colonial white ink over the embossed piece. I created my pumpkin by punching several circles and gluing them together. I then fanned them out. I curled a teeny strip of juniper cs and added it to the pumpkin, I hand cut a stump I crunched the stump/ leaf. I stamped a leaf and popped it off the card near the stump. Added a chocolate and ivory ribbon to the side. A simple sentiment finished it off. I hope you enjoyed the post and found it pleasing to your eye!! Have a awesome Monday!

Hello!!

My computer is still in for repair, Hopefully really really soon. Not any time to get on a computer this week, so I am sharing Mondays post today!

Heart 2 Hearts challenge this past week was to emboss on your car, that could be heat or dry embossing. I have to share that I actually hate to heat emboss. Yep I said it, I am a lazy stamper. I hate stamping, then pouring the powder on the card, then dusting the powder off, then pulling out the heat gun. Just too much work! The finished product is BEAUTIFUL no doubt about it. But like I said its a lot of work:)

I do love how this card turned out......

Meet my card...



Isn't that bracket GORGEOUS? Its even more gorgeous in person! I first created my flower by punching several circle with my circle punch. I wet them and crunched them up and dry them with my heat gun, cause I didn't have patience to wait. I rounded the corner of the grey wool cs and white daisy cs and Buttercup yellow with my corner rounder. I then layered the grey wool and white daisy onto my buttercup yellow card base. I embossed the bracket and the sentiment in black. I used a glue dot to adhere the flower onto the card. I added 2 pieces of striped grey ribbon as the petals.

Happy Birthday Kameron

Today is my youngest sons 17th birthday. Where does the time go, don't all mothers say this no matter what age there child is turning. Its so cool seeing him become a young man, he was such a little boy for so long. Today where both off due to furlough days in So Cal. The weather is gorgeous outside the breeze flowing through the windows is heavenly!

I am dropping off my 2 computers at a friends for cleaning. Yeah!! My friend heads a computer dept at work and told me he will take them in and get rid of the bugs. I didn't want to bother him, BUT after a few quotes of $85 to $125 per computer to clean out the virus, I broke down and gave him a call.


Meet my card...


Enjoy your day, where half there(to the weekend)!!

Friends meet my card....



I randomly stamped my vines, stamped and cut out my leaves. I popped them off the card and added glitter to them and a few places on the vines. I faux stitched around the top of the card. I added 3 layers of ruffles topping it off with a chocolate satin ribbon. Final touch was a tag tied onto the ribbon using hemp.

Heres what u missed last week

This is last weeks card for the Heart 2 Heart challenge. Computer issues still pending.

Today my youngest son took his senior pictures. Reality still has not sunk in completely that my baby is a senior, I am sure tomorrow when I go back to view the pictures it will sink in a little and I will ball like a baby. Boy is he handsome and boy are those pictures going to be FABULOUS!!




The big polka dots were created using a circle punch! I have used that technique in the past and I LOVE IT! As you can see I sewed all around the outside of the card and did a single zigzag line down the middle. Once again I stamped very little, stamping only the script with one of my many alphabet stamps ( alphabet sets are another favorite for me to collect) I added a bow and 3 bitty buttons!

I did very little stamping on this card GAASSPP!! I used the 3 tier card pattern from the FABULOUS Wishes pattern book (its a must for your collection). I cut strips of Blush cs and inked the edges. I layered them on a Baby Pink card base. I took a piece of textured Hollyhock cs and cut a circle out. I back the circle with a black scallop border. I cut my 3 tiered cake out of designer paper. I added a a double paper flower with a rhinestone to the top of the cake and made a wire cake stand to finish it off. I placed my birthday script on top of a piece of black ribbon. There you have it folks, todays card !!!

I hope you enjoyed it. Come back on Wednesday I have more to share!
