February 1


I have been working on a lot of things, the HOF, RS Craft day tomorrow, working out (made it to the gym again today!!), and of course cleaning the house....but I actually found time today to stamp. I needed to prep for a brayer class I have this Saturday night so with that focus I came up with some cute brayer cards. This is the one that Maegan liked the best. I used the All about You set as well as a tiny flower from Something sweet. I brayered my glossy paper with pretty in pink and then taped lines using strips of painters tape. Then I brayered over that with the cotton candy. After that dried for almost long enough I took of the tape and stamped the love, hearts and flowers all over the background in the rose red from the cotton candy pad. I stamped the U on another piece of glossy using the middle of the cotton candy pad and just traced around the edges with a regal rose marker to make it pop. It is hard to see, but I rubbed the edges of the paper with the U across the rose red on the CC pad to give it a border. I stamped Love in black and then....I don't know why but...this card yelled for glitter! I don't usually use a lot of glitter because it gets in my eyes and everywhere else, but this card was really askin for it! So I used the 2-way glue pen to "color" over the U everywhere except where the Love was. Then, I tied it all up with my absoulte Favorite ribbon, the black gingham and popped some dimensionals on the back of the U and voila! Done! Hope you all like it! If you want to see more brayering ideas...pop on over! Now....if I can just figure out how to get these images on here better....

totally cut card! I love the cotton candy pad! And this is one of my favorite stamp sets. I've been ignoring it during SAB though. I think it's time to pull it out and case your card! Thanks

Bradley

Sunday, my best friend died. My sweetheart of 20 years died suddenly from diabetes. We didn't know he had diabetes. It came quick and took him from me. Brad was more than just my husband, he was my best friend. I relied so very much on his strength to guide me and my children through this life. I admit I feel a bit lost without him, already. I had planned on much, much more time with him. Brad and I met on January 28th, 1989. We were both at a nightclub for under age night with our friends that had dragged us there. We were both ready to leave when we were talked into one more dance. That dance changed our lives. We hit it off right away and danced the rest of the night. In face, we were together from then on. I remember that after that night, I waited all day for his call. It was love right away for me. I felt something I had never felt before and knew that he was the one for me. We dated for six months before Brad went to Texas to go to school. We talked a lot on the phone, and I

Bloggers challenge and candy

I know I said I would post some blog candy yesterday but I didn't even get near my computer! What a crazy day! I had planned on doing it the night before but...I was in the kitchen doing the dishes and I was so dog tired that I laid my head down on the counter for a minute. My son came into the room and said, "go to bed mom, dad and I will do the dishes." Now, who in thier right mind would turn down that offer? My boys HATE to do anything in the kitchen that doesn't involve eating. I immediately turned off my water(boiling for herb tea) and skedaddled upstairs and went to bed. I'm no dummy! The kitchen was not cleaned to my standards, but I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth! Speaking of gifts, I have a little blog candy offer today. In honor of my 8000 hits, I am offering the following: A simply scrappin kit "Just Delightful", a stamp set "Delight in Life", three mini spools of ribbon, some acrylic tiles AND a copy of the latest

Doubles with candy!!

Today is another fun summer day at my house. The kids are running here and there and I'm just trying to keep up. I realized I hadn't sent out Father's day cards yet, so that is what I worked on today. I tried to keep these nice and clean and manly. I remember going to a demonstration at a Stampin' Up! convention years ago where Kevin Theeson and another guy(I forget his name....) talked about 'manly' cards. One of the things they stressed was that guys don't like cards made with pastel cards. They prefer bold bright and earth element colors. I'm not sure if they suggested we stay away from florals too, but I kind of figured that was a safe idea. ;o) For this card I started with some textured Wild Wasabi cardstock cut to 10-1/2 x 5-1/4. That gave me a 5-1/4" card when folded. The striped paper across the center is from a retired SU simply scrappin kit...primary colors I think it was called. I added a strip of Real Red to each side of the stripes for
