This is a card that I made for my Niece's birthday. I got this image from an image swap that I joined. I love this stamp and I'm gonna have to order it with my next order. I picked out the paper that I wanted to use first. I believe this is some pattern paper that came with a kit that I got not long ago. I next picked out my Prismacolor markers that matched pretty well with the paper. The sentiment is part of a TAC set. I really like how this one turned out. Hopefully I can order this stamp soon.
Its been a very busy week for me. I spent all of last week getting ready for my oldest sons graduation party. Now its on to college for him in August. He will be going to a local college for two years than transferring into a university.
My brother and family are in town and yesterday we spent the day at the Science and Industry Museum. It was a lot of fun. I went to the smart home exhibit which I really enjoyed. I learned quite a bit yesterday.
The taste of Chicago is going on also this week. It looked pretty busy when we drove by yesterday. My oldest has been wanting to go to that for quite a long time and we thought about going yesterday after the museum, but it looked like it was gonna rain and sure enough, it did. Maybe sometime between now and when it closes we can take him to the taste. We ended our day yesterday with an awesome dinner at Bob Chinns. Yummy!!! It was a very long and fun day.
Today I plan on lounging in my pool all afternoon. I need to re-cooperate from yesterday..lol.
Until next time....tata....
This is another image I got from an image swap. I really love these image swaps, but then I always want to order the stamp so I can make more.....sigh.
I colored her with Prismacolor markers and Bic markers. Background paper comes from my scraps stash. I added some stickles on the bottom of her dress to give it a little sparkle.
Went camping over the weekend back to the Quad Cities to visit with my family. We had a great time as usual. The flooding back there is terrible. When we arrived in town, we had to drive through 7 to 8 inches of water that had gone over the road from the river.
The next day we went out for breakfast and the road had been closed, so we had to go around the long way. Its terrible to see homes that are completely in the water. I feel bad for those people.
Going camping this weekend also with the girls. I think us girls are gonna have a blast. We have some fun things planned. Now if the weather cooperates, we will be just fine. I saw in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday, isolated thundershowers...that is really gonna cut into our pool time. Guess we will have to find something else to do....which wont be hard at all
Anyway, that's about it for today...I have a busy day ahead of me so need to get going over here.
Until next time..........
This set has long since retired but I was looking through my stamps the other day and found this set. I hadn't made a card with this set for ages. Ive been trying to do some cards with stamp sets that I don't use very often.
I started by picking out my pattern paper, which came from one of my Memory Works kits, then I went from there. I used my Prismacolor markers to color my image. Added some ribbon on the side and used my punches to make my little flower at the top and bottom.
I didn't put any kind of sentiment on the inside of my card, since I will add it to my stash of cards and then when the occasion arises, I will add a sentiment to the card before it is sent out.
I do have more cards that I just finished but I need to take some pictures, which I will do today after my busy day.
Its bowling day with the boys and then I need to do some grocery shopping, a few other errands, and hopefully I can get my hair highlighted later this afternoon...whew, I need more hours in my day. I wanted to lay out in my pool this afternoon too, but I don't think I can squeeze this in and its suppose to rain this afternoon...BIG SURPRISE!!
Anyway...more later....................
Finally got to create with one of my newest stamps that arrived in my mailbox last week. This stamp is by Rachel Ann Miller and its called Lily Picking Flowers.
I have more on order but they have yet to grace my mailbox....hopefully soon.
I started by picking out this pattern paper and then colored my image from there. I did add a second layer to my flowers to make them dimensional. I used my punches to create the little flower at the top, but looking at it now, I should of picked a different color for the bottom flower...probably should of picked up the green in the card. Next time.
I colored with Prismacolor markers, Sharpies, and Stampin Up. I think she turned out pretty cute...I am gonna do another card that is a bit more summery in color when I finish the ones I'm working on now.
I did get some images colored today to add to make into more cards this week...so stay tuned.
More later....................
I cant really take credit for this..I was looking through the gallery at Splitcoast Stampers and I came across this cute train. I used the same colors on the train, but my card is much different....anyway, I thought it was cute.
I colored with Prismacolor markers, Sharpies, and Copics.
I'm making one for the girls also, but didn't get it finished today.
I did however get 12 other cards done today.
Until next time....tata.....
