Monkey See Monkey Do!

 

Okay I could not come up with a name for my posting today....so this is the first thing that came to mind....lol...I have oodles and oodles of stamps and digi images....but for some reason I have been on a rub-on kick for a week or so now....the rub-ons that you can buy now are so easy to you...and once placed on the cardstock, you can not tell they are there....it either looks like a stamped image or patterned paper...once I get an idea in my head for the card....it only takes minutes to put them together....

This is a card I made for grand daughter Julie...she needed one for a birthday that she was invited to....so easy to make and such fun colors....all of the paper and rub-ons are from the Safari Kids DCWV line...I found it at Michael's one day while I was snooping around....teehee....this card is done as a 6x6 card....and the paper is so shiny and sparkly in real life....it is full of both male and female appropriate papers, some are shiny, some are sparkly and some are plain....all following the safari theme....I have some stamps from various companies and I will be combining them to make some card in the coming week....my goal is to use the whole matstack of paper...goodness know that the grandbabies get invited to enough birthday's.....they can use them.....

Well it is Saturday today and the sun is shining....cowboy is outside mowing the lawn so that we maybe able to enjoy the day together....he is working tomorrow...so my goal for tomorrow is to get my son's wedding invitations completed....lots of printing and cutting on them....not too much stamping though....I will share them when I am given permission to do so....lol...

I would love to start a business making wedding invites and all things needed for a wedding...I guess I need to advertise and see if I get any interest....hahaha

Inchin' Along to Say Hello!

 

How stinkin' cute is the caterpillar...I have had him for ages and ages....it was a stamp that I bought from Gina K Designs....it was when she sold most of her stamps individually...I think I may have put ink on him once before....lol...he is so cute....

These little scrapplings were made for another swap that I participated in.....these are just little cards....haha....as you can tell the theme for this month was Thinking of You......these are fun to make, although I do tend to have problems when it comes to these smaller size canvases.....

After spending many many hours in this here craft room cleaning, sorting and re-arranging...I made a decision to start using up some of these supplies that I have here.....I need to quit my job and just stay home and create for 24-7 before I will ever make a dent in this huge pile of supplies....oh why oh why do I hoard.....

I have been busy creating again each evening, trying to get cards stockpiles for various events that are coming up in my life shortly....and to also have something to post on here.....I am going to go and check out camera's this weekend....maybe I will get a new one...we shall see.....

Well it is that time of day again.....must get ready for work!

SU and Rub-Ons!

 

WOW how easy these cards were to make....I needed some RAKS and was not sure what I was going to do...sat down at my desk and had a look around the room....my eyes landed on these wonderful and cute rub-ons from Stampin' Up.....now what to do....nothing fancy as the rub-ons are so darn cute all by themselves.....got out some white paper, cut it to card sizes and started to use the rub-ons....they go on so easy and are so nice to work with...I made a series of these cards so for the next day or so...I will be posting them to my blog.....what do you think?

The sun is finally shining here this morning, but the temps are below freezing....will spring ever arrive to out neck of the world....the yard work needs to be done...but it is so darn cold and the wind never stops......maybe this weekend it will get better....we shall see....

Well better be off to get ready for work!

A Wondering Mind!

 

This card was really quite fun to make...it is for a swap that I am in...although I do not do many swaps any more....I did want to join this one as I purchased this set from Stampin' Up and had not put ink to it....lol....story of my life these days.....I stamped the image on white card stock that I have purchased from MFT....colored it with Copic Markers....the paper I used was from the Basic Grey Line called Lime Rickey.....I love this paper, so bright and colorful....the rest of the card is pretty self explanatory....lol....

I am not sure why I find this image so amusing, I just do...teehee.....

Well today is not promising to be very nice, we woke to rain...we have not had much of a spring here of of yet...we had a rotten rotten winter and spring is not looking much better,...the long range forecast is calling for hot humid weather starting in June......hot I can handle....humid ussualy means rain....lol....

Well I best be getting off here to get ready for work....need to work to feed the stamping addiction....lol

Have a great day!

Basic Grey Meets MFT!

 

Wow I have had the picture of this card in my head since I bought the Basic Grey rub-ons.....this was such a fun and easy card to make.....apply the rub-ons, stamp the glass twice, color both glasses, cut one out, layer it onto the other, use some nestabilities...glue together and voila a nice bright card.....lol....

I so need a girls night out, I am thinking of getting a group of women together to have a night out...something fun and exciting.....oh what should be do....lol...

I spent almost all day yesterday sitting her at my desk creating cards to post on my BLOG, I am such a bad blogger, but yet each and everyday I spend hours looking and drooling over other peoples BLOGS.....so I am ready for about another week of BLOGGING, hopefully this weekend I will have the opportunity to sit here for another few hours and get more cards and projects completed....

It is back to work for me today, after having a three day weekend here in Canada....I thoroughly enjoyed my time off....did some shopping, some cleaning, some stamping and had some alone time as well, just a nice balanced mini vacation......

Products used for the card:Stamps - MFT Girls Night Out

Paper - MFT, Basic Grey Lime Rickey and Stampin' Up

Back Again! Card to Share

 


Good Day to all that find their way to my BLOG...it is a holiday here is Canada today, so that means a day all to myself to stamp.....

This card is one that I have made for a swap that I am in....the only sad thing about this card, is that you can not tell that is has a very light green paper on it....so pretty in real life....I could not capture the color, no matter what I tried to do....

Also there is absolutely no stamping on this card....I was busy cleaning and organizing my stamping area and came across these wonderful rub-ons from Stampin' Up that I have had forever.....so I decided to finally put them to use.....the card is very pretty to see in real life......

Products that I used are as follows"

Rub-ons - Stampin" Up
Papers - Light Green from Basic Grey, the white and black are from Stampin' Up
Punch - Martha Stewart

I am loving all the new products that I have purchased over the past few months...and have been busy making cards with them all....I think I am good to go for posting on the Blog for another week.....

Later Gaters!
