My crazy Week

Well it has be a very trying week. I spent last week in the hospital and had surgery Thursday to remove my gall bladder. I am home and on the mend but it sure isn't easy to get around. I'm hoping that will get easier in a couple of days.

Sadly I have had to cancel my classes this week. I am hoping I can get back into the swing of things soon and I am looking forward to the October classes which we will be working on Christmas cards.

While I was in the hospital I missed my sister's 30th birthday so I thought I should post a picture of a birthday card. This one is a quick simple card from my last class.

Thanks for stopping by and I am hoping to have some new cards to share soon but it might be a couple of weeks.

Thank You

Just a quick post. My week hasn't started off on the right foot. I ended up in the ER with a gallstone attack which was horrible. I am resting at home now until I get a call for more tests. Thank you for everyone's notes I really appreciate it.

Inspired by Nature

This card was a very a favorite at my last class. It features the Inspired by Nature Stamp set.

The glossy paper was cut out in the big shot using the Top Note die. Then I brayered the  whole piece of paper in summer sun. The I punched out a circle with a scrap piece of paper and place it in the centre to create the sun. Then I brayered really rust and  close to cocoa over that. All the colours blend together. Remove your circle and the sun appears. Then I stamp the grass in black. The edges are sponged in chocolate chip. The creating was stamped and punched using the modern label punch.

Happy Stamping!!

Jack Pot

This card I made for a friend of ours you is a big texas holde'm fan. I used the game night stamp set with the matching jack pot designer paper. I had a tough time deciding what side of the designer paper to use, both are great. I finished it off with a couple of brads and the scallop punch accent.  

Happy Stamping!!

Time to Celebrate!

Sorry this is just a quick post.

I have been busy with house reno's and unfortunately things haven't been going as smoothly as I would like so I haven't had much time to play with my new stamps but here's hoping to some time this weekend. It's time to start getting creative again.

This is one of the cards from my last card class. 

Happy Stamping.
