Fun in the Sun

Happy Wednesday.....Here is a cute little summer vellum card that I made and am sending off to someone, not sure who yet.  I found this pattern in one of my Vellum pattern books.  My small group of card friends had a challenge to make a card or project using the colors: Orange, Green, Pink and Yellow and it had be a summer card.  It is a bit hard to see but I did use all the colors on the card, the pink and orange are hard to tell apart, but I did use them. Well I like it and hope who ever gets does too...

Thanks for popping by and hope you are having a great summer...... That's all for today.

Until next time,

Cards made this week

Hello crafty peeps.  I made a few cards with my new Altenew layering stamps.  These are from the "Beautiful Day" set.  The first is a get will for a sweet friend in one of my card groups, Nancy.  The next one is birthday card for a 99 yr young lady, Irene, whom I do not know but was asked to make a card for from a fellow card maker in a group I belong to.  She is trying to get 99 cards sent to Irene for her special day.  So that it and here they are.

Well I hope you got some inspiration from me, I am loving these stamps from Altenew......just in case anyone was thinking of getting them, they are wonderful.  And fairly easy to use .   Thanks for stopping by and have a great up coming week!

Until next time

Organizing Tips?

Hello and Happy Saturday to all the crafty peeps out in blog land.   So I have been thinking for the past few days that I really really need to some how come up with some way of organizing all my stamps (clear, cling and rubber).  Right now they live in photo boxes and plastic tubs with no organization at all... I hate it and I am wanting to do something better.  So I am asking all of you, How do you organize your stamps?  And do any of you keep them cataloged on your computer or similar?   I have been hearing about a new App called "Evernote" that some people are using but have not looked at it yet?   So tell me how you keep organized b/c I have got to come up with something or purge a good bit.... just takes to long to find what I want right now, LOL.  So folks help a crafty girl out and give me some good tips................. Any and all tips appreciated! :)

Until next time

3 for 3

Hello from cloudy rainy Texas... Since I had to be inside due to rainy weather an back/hip issues I figured it would be a good day to work on a few cards.  They are all Birthday Cards.  I is for my Niece for her 16th birthday and I did a Shaker card.  One is for a very good friend of my Husband who collects Dragon and love anything Celtic.   And the last one is for a sweet Gal Friend who's turning 59 next week, she was the first friend I made when I moved to Texas 34 years ago.  Boy it really is hard to believe we have been friends that long! I added a bit of wink of Stella to all the flowers but the picture does not show it, but it really shimmers nicely.  Anyway here are the 3 cards.  Love to hear what you think too.  And Thanks for popping by to visit.

Have Thursday to all.

Until next time

1 more card made this past week

Hello, here is one of my last 2 cards for the week.  Used all items from the Stamp of Approval box from Stamp Nation, by Catherine Pooler.   These come out every so many months, can't remember how often but they always have a wonderful assortment of stamps, dies and sometimes embellishments too.   This card is  for Mother's Day.  The "YOU" is a die as are the hearts and they have glossy accents on them not so sure it shows that well in this pic. Everything else is stamped.   I love it!  Thanks for popping by and have a beautiful Sunday.   

P.S. will try to get the last card put together and post later today, no promises though, LOL....

Until next time

Quickie Card

Happy Saturday Peeps.  A friend called and wanted a card for her daughter's 30th birthday and needed it for today, of course, LOL.  So I used a bunch of pieces from assorted card kits that I had lying around, since I only had a very short window to make this for her.  I think it turned out pretty.  What do y'all think?  

Until next time,
  Happy Crafting

Next to last Birthday Card for May finished!

OK, Ok, I know I said this was going to be the last birthday card but I left someone out by mistake so there will be on more birthday card coming before I get on to Mother's day cards.  This was fun to make it's from a kit with Downton Abbey theme.  It was a PBS show for those who do not know of it.   I loved the show and this set is nice.  Here is the card I came up with for a friend in one of my dearest friends. 

Until next time,
