Stamps from a friend

My good friend sent me some stamps the other day....there isn't much I like better than getting stamps in the mail! Even tho I knew they were coming, it totally made my day! This set is one that I have wanted since it first came out, but I kept putting it off. The set is called Bronc Buster
and I love the 'genuine' label that comes with it. I stamped the horse and rider with chocolate chip classic ink onto Baja Breeze cardstock and roughed up the edges using the cutter kit. I added some ink to the edges with a sponge and folded down the top corner and put a silver brad in there. The label is stamped with chocolate chip craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used the Versamarker to color in the word and some details. The corners are rounded and I added more sponging here too. I tied some twill tape around the card, put the genuine label on with dimensionals, and mounted the whole thing onto a chocolate chip card base. The card measures 5-1/2" square. I am sure I am going to have lots more fun with this set!

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...

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...
