Uncharted Territory

Hi we are almost at the end of September all ready where does the time go...

One of my down line was over the other day and she brought this set Uncharted Territory (116952) over with her. As I did not have this set and hadn't thought much about what to do with it I was stumped I didn't want to water color and most things I had seen with this set were so this is what I came up with. I have always like black and white so that is what I used. I embossed the light house used the Photo Corner Punch (119878) and 1 1/4 Grosgrain ribbon (115615) in Basic Black. I kind of like it what do you think??

Spooky Spider

These little guys are fun to make and the kids enjoy eating the in-erds of these spiders. York Mints...

Lots of our punches used.

Scallop Circle (119854)

Photo Corner (119878)

1/2 circle (119869)

Builder Wheels

I finally ordered these new wheels and hadn't done anything with them so thought I would give it a try. I think maybe this card is a little busy but I am posting anyway. Used two Builder Wheels Little Cardinals (120865) and Little Christmas (120866) found in the Holiday Mini. I also got a few more toys from the mini so Used Northern Frost (120901) to make the snow flakes this is a Decorative strip die that you use with the Big Shot. and this was the first time I used the Embossing folder Northern Flurry (120902) as well, did a little sponging added some Real Red Ribbon. Not sure what I think of the finished project.

What Happens in Vegas...

Hey I had a fantastic trip, didn't loose the house and even found a new friend..isn't he sweet... Good to be home again, my feet hurt and I am little poorer. Did have a great time though. the food and shows were fantastic. Went to see the musical Menopause what a great show, the Rat Pack was really good as well. and did a few others too. I certainly stayed up long past my usual bedtime good thing it was only four days... Now need to save some money for another adventure...

Paisley Prints

This is a very simple card using the set Paisley Prints (120817) found in the holiday mini.I used Wild Wasabi ink and card stock and ribbon.. the punch Scallop Trim (118402) set it off. A little sponging around the edges to tone it down a bit. Thanks for stopping by.

Milk Carton boxes

I finally made one of these holders for the Mini Milk Carton (117310) I did use some retired paper for the boxes the boxes are very easy to make with the Designer Series papers.

It is getting to that time of the year to make things for upcoming craft shows. I will defiantly be making some more mini milk carton boxes using the big shot.

I am still in Las Vegas having a great time...

Level 1 Because I Care

Today I am off for a few days of fun and relaxation. Flying to Las Vegas for four days and nights. There will be several of us going we are actually celebrating a special birthday of a friend. We are leaving the men at home so you know the old saying What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.......This is the first time I have had a few days away girls only that is not stamp related so really is a holiday..

This card was also done by Rhonda my last post was one of her card too. This is much prettier than the picture shows. Thanks for letting me share Rhonda.

Apple Blossoms Level 2 set

One of my customers made this card isn't it nice. She let me take a picture so now I am sharing it with you. Rhonda does wonderful cards any one who receives a card from her is very lucky.

Elegant Trio Stencil

I finally ordered one of the De core Stencils, this one is called Elegant Trio (118262) it comes in a set of three. This is my first attempt at using it. I just sponged almost too much on a circle cut with the Scallop Circle Die (113468) on confetti white paper. Added this to Melon Mambo paper. I used a Rhinestone Brad from the Circle Fire collection (109110) on a piece of pink ribbon. Nothing to special about this simple card.

Deer Bars

I saw these last year and had to make some for my craft shows. I have seen many different ways to make these guys. . I just love his sparkly nose of course it is not Stampin'Up! but everything else is even if it was retired

product, gotta use it sometime...

Some renovating

About a week ago my husband went for a walk, there was a store uptown that was closing and he went in. Well he came home to get me and the truck and we came home with four big card units. So today we got busy what as mess to get everything together. I had racks in this space in my stamp room so they were removed and this was put up. Then I had to fill it with stamps no problem there. I still have
more stamps but thought I did enough for now. The other two racks were put up where I do my workshops and I put cards on them that I hope to sell . I actually had a very large garbage bag full of things to finally get rid of when I was finished. I think I like the result..

the pictures aren't the greatest but you do get the idea of what we did. Thanks for stopping by.

This is a card that I did for a card box. Four cards like this in a box to go with it. I put in several sayings so you can pick what you want if any. This uses Just Believe (116948) page 109 main catty. I sponged the circle lightly over Early Expresso ink, added some retired ribbon for this one looks much harder than it is to make.
