Turkey Time!

I have been working on creating Christmas cards to tuck away until December, but decided to make a couple of Thanksgiving turkey cards to get a jump on the feast filled day in November!

Christmas in August

The kids are back to school, and now time will really fly! Before we know it we will be getting ready for the holidays. I created a few of these cards to tuck away to get a head start for the busy months to come. The design was inspired by the card on page 40 from the Stampin' UP 2011-12 Idea Book & Catalog.



Happy Stamping!

Vintage Vogue Friends

Happy Back to School Week! I had some time to create a couple of Vintage Vogue cards last weekend but haven't a chance to blog as I have been tied up with shopping and errands to get the girls ready for this new school year. Emma is starting 7th grade, Grace 3rd and even little Ruby is heading to preschool 2 mornings a week.

Both cards use the same stamp sets, Vintage Vogue & Netting and the same color combination of Lucky Limeade, Dafodil Delight, Island Indigo and Whisper White. I used a little bit of Chocolate Chip Polka Scallop Ribbon and a couple of brads on the first card. The 2nd card used up my scraps from the first card. I added some sponged ink to distress the edges. Happy Stamping!

Happy Stamp-ur-day!

I was able to create 2 cards on Friday after the girls and I spent most of the day running errands. We are busy wrapping up summer with Dr. check-ups, school supply & clothes shopping and of coursed our weekly trip to Hy-Vee. I split my grocery shopping between 2 stores to take advantage of my $5 off of $50 purchase coupons. The more I can save on food...I can spend on stamps!

This fun ice cream card was inspired by a card I saw online at www.splitcoaststampers.com. I used punches to create the orange popsicle and the fudge bar and the retired stamp set Sweet Scoops.



This card features some new Designer Series Paper, Berry Blossoms. August is a great month to stock up on DSP, because it's Buy 3, get 1 FREE!!! I also used the stamp set, Flight of the Butterfly. I used Calypso Coral ,Lucky Limeade and Early Espresso inks & cardstock to complete the card.
