Pink Butterfly

I pulled out my Wonderful Wings set because it needed some love. I have some of them that haven't even seen ink! Can you believe that? So this is one that I have never used before. I colored it with my Koh-i-noor pencils and then used my glitter pen to add glitter to part of the wings. I did a close up of the butterfly so you can see the glitter I added.

I also dug through my little bag of prima flowers to find some to use on this card. And of course, I added some rhinestones to the flowers.

My Mojo Checked Out for the Night

See why I haven't posted in a little while? I've been working on Trace's baby shower invites. So far I have 15 made. I have 10 more to go and I ran out of red ribbon. So I have to order some more before I can finish them. So I put them away in little baggies and thought I would make something else.








I don't know but I think I've lost my mojo! I have seen so many cute cards on SCS with this little gator. So I thought I would try one myself. I'm not happy with the way this card turned out. I've not been feeling great lately. My CD is flaring and I think it is squashing my creative abilities. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

I ordered 2 new Changito monkey stamps today and I can't wait until they get here. I'm getting a Halloween monkey and the winter monkey w/hot cocoa. I start back to school the end of next week so I won't be posting near as often as I have this summer. I won't have near as much time to stamp when I actually have to work, lol!

One of a Kind

I just got this new SU set, One of a Kind. I made this card with it. I used Purely Pomegranate and Pretty in Pink. I stamped the small image and put it in the middle with a build a brad. I have had them for a while and haven't used them, but I love them now! I can make a brad to match anything! I also punched out the flowers and put a little bling in the center.

I'm Back!

I'm back from the Mayo Clinic and I'm still waiting for a diagnosis. They have found a lot of things wrong with me but they just aren't sure what to call it yet. I should hear from the doctor within the next day or so.

I missed my stamping while I was gone. So I have made a few cards since I've been back. Here are a few of them. This first one I made for my sister-in-law. She fell and twisted her ankle. She has newborn twins and a 2 year old at home. Now she has an ankle boot to go with it. I pulled down Sassy Stems because I haven't used it in a while. I really love this set!

I also pulled out my MFT stamp sets. I didn't have the right kind of ink so I went to Hobby Lobby and got some that works wonderful with these sets. I made this card for one of my best friend's birthday. She turns 30 this weekend! So I wanted to use this set to make a card for her. I used my new Kooh-i-noor pencils to color both of these. I love these pencils so much and they don't cost as much as my Prismacolors did. I hope Trace likes this card! Maybe she won't see this post before I can give it to her.

Been Busy Stamping!

I've been a stamping fool today! lol As you can see from my previous post I found a great web site to show you how to make all those cute little projects other than cards. So I had to make some of them. The first picture is a post it note holder. I love it because it is sturdy and wraps around the post it notes. I didn't have any chipboard coasters so I got an empty cereal box and made my own. The great thing about it is you can't tell it isn't straight because it is covered with DP.

The other thing I made today was a card for the color challenge on SCS and the Mojo Challenge. I used kraft, black, white, and soft sky. I used the Baroque Motif stamp set. I really love that SU set! I stamped the flower in soft sky and them rolled the edges in Buckaroo Blue. I'm happy with this one, and it is a good thing I am because I made 6 of them.
