Floors

Well the floors are taking longer then I thought (yes Shad was right- he new it was going to take longer) but I am sure they will be finished for this weekend. We spent all weekend working on them and are at the half way point. It's starting to look good. We both have Thursday off to work on them. Here's a sneak peak of our progress.

Another Swap

I must say I have certainly been on a role making cards lately but not so good at posting this week. Sorry. I have a swap coming up on the 17th and I am trying to decide what card to make. Here are my choices. Any guesses which I decided on? I will reveal it on Monday.

Happy Stamping.

And the winner for my swap card is.............. the first card (baby card)

Thursday Already

I just wanted to post a little note as it's been a week. I keep meaning to but the time this week has just disappeared. I have managed to finish a few cards which I will post tonight. Are you wondering what I have been up to? This is the weekend we are redoing the floors. Yes we are doing all the work ourselves. It should be very interesting. Shad is pretty handy so I am sure it will go smoothly. We have spent to week preparing and are just about ready to start. I will post a picture once we are finished - which I am hoping will be Sunday night (fingers crossed). So on that note stay tuned for a couple of cards tonight and then once the floors are finished it's back to stamping a couple of easter projects.

Have fun stamping!

Lovely As a Tree

It has been a while since I pulled this set out and I am loving this card. I don't normally say that but I thought I managed to come up with a great birthday card for a male.

It also features the layout challenge we have this month with my demo. group. I did branch out a little bit as well by making this card 5x5 which is a little different for me. I have actually been doing a lot of cards lately in different dimensions just to mix things up a little. The cardstock used pumkin pie, old olive, close to cocoa, bordering blue and the new designer paper summer picnic from the occassions mini. Of course the pewter jumbo eyelets with the coordinating brads. I coloured the tree in with my markers using old olive, close to cocoa and the grass is mellow moss. The Happy Belated Birthday came for It's your birthday set.

Birthday

Here's the last card for work. This one I did a little different having it open in the centre. The colours used on this card are tempting turquiosem garden green, summer sun and then the striped designer paper( I forgot to look at which pack it came from but if you need to know drop me a note) I used the markers to colour directly on the stamp to get all the different colours in on the cake. There are also silver brads in each of the corners.

Thanks for checking out the new cards. Have fun stamping.

Pink Glitter

Heres' Another Birthday card. This is very similar to another card I posted recently. I changed up the colours a little and included a rub on for the birthday greeting.

Textured Die Cut Flowers

This is a quick birthday card I made last night for a coworker. There are 3 birthdays this week so stay tuned for a couple more pic's. This card featured the new textured die cut flowers from the new occasions mini. The colours I used for this cards are bashful blue, pumkin pie, old olive, and the patterned certainly celery paper.
