Happy birthday America

Its almost the forth of July so I have my patriotic stamps  and stars of course out on the stamp table so  a Penny Black red white and blue theme challenge seems about right.  I bayered a red stripe on g-rated glossy linen, added stars (Stampin up)  and the Penny black butterfly, America from print works print works and the  star punches at the bottom Martha Stewart.   Looks kind of patriotic. I almost forgot i glued blue strip under the punching so the start on the bottom would be visible.  This card also  is entered in the Happily ever crafter challenge. enter if you have a red white and blue entry!

Happy 4th!

Daisy collage

oh my i awoke and went to the blogs and saw that Theme Thursday was a collage and Cute Card Thursday was to reuse something so I could make one card to fit both themes.  Ive always like this Stampin up set  …   so i stamped it, tore the edges and put a purple frame behind it , then added some pretty daisy stamps i got on a package from my sister…. a few daises and ‘gentle thoughts of you’ for the Stampin up set and here it is Garden collage.

pink and green oh la la

The  everybody art challenge was to use pink and green,  (my Colors ) and I needed a Frenchish birthday card for Olivia who will be going to France soon,  so oh la la here it is!  The grapes are  Stampin up and the french bird is Penny Black( and i so  love this stamp).  You cant really see it but the background paper is embossed with words. and then a couple of pink  robins nest dots and the card is finished.

feet in water

Here’s  mojo monday template, but I’m still thinking about  the Penny black challenge  to do something vacation summery and thought of this stamp but it wasn’t  pb  so i did a summer theme with a Penny black masked on top of another  stamp.  Today I’ll use  the summer stamp i was thinking about  for Mojo Monday.  It’s from  Stampin’ up’s ‘Summer by the sea’, i bet the stamp thought it would never be used since Ive owned it for several years and today is the day.  As my usual coloring is chalk and the pink squigle is a nestie  spellbinder cut.

simple tools



i updated the card with a border and put the happy fathers day on the top… i like it better…….

This was for two challenges Stampin Royalty Masculine card and Simplicity’s add a flourish. maybe its not enough, the stamp is stampin up I tried adding more but it just cluttered the card.  (can you believe this is the 4th try and i give up…The flourish is three square brads…. not enough i think.but maybe it is… says happy fathers on the inside.

Tea step tuesday

Sometimes you have to be pushed to do something like make a step card, and today Tuesday morning sketches pushed… so here’s a step card. when folded it squares up but as a step card its seems a little off… the verbiage is paper tray ink. the creamer is Stampin’ up stamped and pen colored. the words are

“A warm cup of tea can diminish all the troubles that may be.”
