Learning from yesterday

This stamp set is one that I just had to have and then it just sat on my shelf for weeks. Okay, I have been a bit more busy than usual, I admit, but I started feeling guilty for not using it the other day. I love this background paper and decided I could combine the two to make a fairly masculine card. The base it chocolate chip with a strip of Baja Breeze paper and ribbon layered over the DSP. I stamped the clock face in chocolate chip, cut it out free-hand and sponged the edges to cover up my less than perfect cutting. I added one of our new large chocolate brads to the center and layered it all together with dimensionals.
You may notice my new watermark? It is from Karen Giron at www.kgiron.blogspot.com. She only charges $2 for a custom job. She also has an amazing blog, so check it out!
Speaking of "time", I am running out of it! The movers come today to give me estimates and we could be moving as early as June 1st. aah! Wish me luck!

Polka quilt

I just love projects that can be made with my leftover scraps! This is a great example of just that kind of project. The colors are fun and sunny. Notice how the ribbon goes under the rectangle with the button to really make it pop!

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...

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...
