cc176 Soft Sky/River Rock/Very Vanilla

Yep, I'm actually posting two nights in a row! :) Here is last weeks color combo challenge from SCS. I really love these soft colors - wish we didn't have to say goodbye to them! The DSP is Ginger Blossom (which is also retiring - sniff!) The center of the flower is a brad from the SU Silver Hodgepodge Kit that i have been hoarding.....

Other news, I made a trip to the Gina K Designs store in McFarland after work today and got loads of new rubber to play with! I love all the new sets that just came out, and I picked up Little Tees, Whatever Floats Your Boat, Flowers for Daisy, and then I got Summer Harvest which is the Free set this time around....SO I will have some new stuff to show ya soon! :)

Cc177 Hats off!

Not feeling all that great today, but I saw today's Color Challenge on SCS and inspiration hit me immediately. For this card I used a stamp from "Thinking of You" which is a set designed by Rupa Shevde for Gina K Designs. I just love this stamp set. The challenge was to use Groovy Guava, Sahara Sand, and Whisper White. I love this color combo. I used my nestabilities to make the ovals. Thanks for looking! :) 

Double Pocket Bag

Hi there, 

Finally posting a project for a change. I'm all settled in and should be blogging on a regular basis. I made this double-pocket bag from ONE sheet of 12X12 DSP. How did I do it? 

Well, I Found the directions on SplitcoastStampers HERE

The only "change" to the directions was I added the flap closure. It's stays closed with velcro circles :) 

Have a super Saturday...

Hugs ~

I'm here....

Hello All!

Just wanted to let the FEW that peek into my blog once in awhile that I am still around! LOL! I finally got things unpacked and hope to be blogging more actively soon! :) I might even have a card or project to post today....stay tuned! 

Bare Cupboards

Here is why you might not see some cards from me for a few weeks....I'm moving and the cupboards are bare....for the most part at least.  I started packing the stamps tonight. I got all my SU Stamps into three boxes with the exception of 4-5 stray sets. I'll be packing the rest up this weekend....and taking them to my new home on June 14th! :) I'm really excited to be getting my own "pad"! Back to packing....

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

No, not another picture of me at a ballpark (although I did think about it!). This is a project I am working on for another SCS swap. It's a summer container swap, and we are making 3+1. So this is #1! they will all be similar, two of the tins look like this, and the other ones are the lunch-boxes with the rounded top. So, the next thing I have to do is fill them up with baseball-themed goodies. Time to go Shopping! The image on the tag is from Home Run (SU Retired) I have two SU Baseball sets (the other being Take Me Out To The Ballgame, which is more vintage). The Tag is popped up with dimensionals. 

Ok, off to work on the other 3! Goodnight! 

WSC50 - Just Because I love you

Happy Saturday! I took a break from packing to work on Beate's weekend sketch challenge and this is how it turned out. I used Just Because I Love You (retired SU) for the stamps. I love this set and forget I have it to use. The flower images are so pretty. The rest of the recipe can be found in my SCS Gallery
