A Zindorff Wanabee....


Okay I have found the most wonderful blog.....it is produced by Michelle Zindorff....hopefully I have spelled that right.....she does the most amazing work with brayers, sponges and inks....I have tried to follow her tutorials and I hope that I have at least given it a good reproduction....I have tried several of her cards, but decided to share this one with you as it will soon be fall and winter in our neck of the woods....and with this time of the year....our roads in the country look so forlorn and dissolute.....although very picturesque....(is that how you spell it....)so when I saw this card I automatically thought of a road that my hubby and I used to go down to check on the crops.....so I tried to reproduce it the best I could......this is the card size...but the Cowboy and I are going to redo our bedroom this coming week, and I am going to try and reproduce this card on an 8.5x11 piece of card stock and have it framed....wish me luck I am going to need it....
All products used are Stampin Up....I followed the tutorial that can be found here www.zindorf.blogs.splitcoaststampers.com Have a look at here work...it is amazing....

Well it is time to say later gators.....

Cards for the VC__Rocks Group


I have been fortunate to be part of a very busy and active group known as VC_Rocks on Yahoo....this is a group of ladies that get together for only 4-5 months a year and celebrate a virtual Stamping convention.....all swaps are Stampin' Up products only and are amazing in the quality that you receive back....this group will be closing down again for the year within a month....I am so going to miss them as it is a very busy and lively group...I only joined 5 swaps this year so over the next few days I will post the cards that I made for the swaps.....todays card was made for the "Thinking of Kids" swap....we were to make any card that was good for giving to a child.....I only have one grandson, so my male kid stamps are limited...but I knew I wanted to make a card with this set.....I am slowly trying to make some headway in my crafting space...I do not know how come this room gets so darn messy.....I am the only one that stamps in the family.....lol....

Later Gators!
