I actually made three cards today! I have to thank my dear friends Jesse and Shiela for making it possible today. Jesse came and stamped with me and Shiela came over and took a big mess of recipes I have been collecting and magically turned them into a cookbook! That is why I could sit and stamp today without guilt.
My final card of the day (so far!) is again with the doodle set. For this card I started by stamping the three yellow flowers on the 5" square of white. I just kind of visualized how I wanted the finished card to look and spaced them accordingly. The purple flower is stamped and cut out, along with the green leaves. I colored everything before I stuck it together. I used the watered down marker technique to color in the flowers. The way that works is first you take your marker and scribble it on the top of one of your stamp cases. Then you use the aquapainter to pick up the color and paint with it. You can also use a blender pen for this. I used a blender pen for the flowers and the aquapainter for the blue background. Can you see that? I glued the leaves to the back of the purple flower and stuck them all on the three flower base. I stamped the Wonderful with basic black and decided I needed to fill in a bit of that white space....so I masked off the flowers and stamped a portion of the doodle swirl in there. Finally, I tied it all together with some Hand drawn totally free form original art....doodle cirlces in the corners. Aren't I talented? ;o)

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...

Birthday blog candy!

In honor of my birthday, I am offering another package of blog candy! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite thing about getting older. :o) The candy includes a package of cardstock, metal edge tags, sanding block, cool metal border stickers, silver gel pen, and a set of mini gift cards stamped by yours truly. For some reason, my 'rechargeable batteries' decided not to 'recharge' anymore. I am quite distraught about that. I planned to share these pictures a couple of days ago, but....I had to wait til I bought some new batteries. I have to say tho, I was really afraid I had broken my camera! I'm glad it is just the batteries! I borrowed my friend's Precious stamp set the other day and have been having fun with it! I made this card using a square card base of chocolate chip (5-12" square). I stamped the swirlies in blue bayou onto a large piece of whisper white and onto a smaller piece. I cut out a butterfly and stuck i...

Soccer, projects and....Blog Candy!!

Okay, I know I promised to post some blog candy a couple days ago but, what was I thinking? The weekend has become the crazy part of my week! We have entered the World of Soccer. All you soccer moms out there will totally know what I am talking about. We are still in the little leagues of it, only one practice a week and one game. Per child of course....I'm glad my son decided he didn't want to play. Two kids is enough! It was a beautiful weekend tho. The weather was awesome. The sun got bright during the afternoon game, but every few minutes it would rain so, it kept us nice an comfy. Only in Florida can you have rain on a sunny day. It is one of the wonders of the world. I put together a few goodies for Blog Candy today. I have been having way too much fun making stuff with coasters and patterned paper lately. Stampin' Up! has made it even easier to use these two items together by offering the Tombow Liquid Adhesive. If you haven't used it, you've got to! It is aw...
