September 25, 2019 Anything Goes

This week over at The House that Stamps Built  our challenge is Anything Goes.

I have had this stamp for a little while - and when I got a little boy as my chemo buddy I knew what card I was going to make for him.

I only had him for 5 weeks as his regular angel was in the hospital - so we have sub angels that will fill in in cases of emergency, vacation, etc.  I used a couple when I had my shoulder surgery.  I enjoy having the kids but oh so sad to think of what they are going through at such a young age. 

For this card I used Child with Wagon 4506-I and plate 10100 You Series  which offers a very nice variety of stamps that you can mix and match. 

I had some fun Echo Park papers that I thought were great for a younger child and matched it with some orange/white chevron from my stash.

September 18, 2019 Photo Inspiration

This week over at The House that Stamps Built our challenge is photo inspiration:


and here is my card I made, I  went with the photo .  I LOVE special fold cards especially if they are interactive, which this one is - I think it is call a pull tab card.

Card front - ready for envelope.

Pull the ribbon and the front opens up and reveals the greeting on the inside - then on the inside of my card I used an extra butterfly I had made.

For this card I used :
   Butterfly small  9009-F
   Monarch Butterfly  107-F
    Flutter By 9005-E

We are having a girls get together soon and I think my shoebox project might just be this card.

September 11, 2019 Tic Tac Toe

This week over at The House that Stamps Built  our challenge is Tic Tac Toe which is one of my favorite challenges, there are so many possibilities. 


Here is my card and I went with Winged Things, Square Card, and Embossing (heat).  

I went with a clean and simple card (for me) and then found a black doily that I had saved in my stash for quite some time.  Always love to used long forgotten stuff from my stash.  I choose the 102-F Dragonfly and in the center I used the sentiment 8708-E Sending Smile .  All are heat embossed with some glitter black embossing powder.  I had some pretty glittery enamel dots that I used in the corner to finish up the card.  My card is 4 x 4 square.

September 9, 2019 POTW


This week it is my turn over at The House that Stamps Built for POTW or Pick of the Week.  I decided to share a few of my favorite stamping tools that make my stamping experience a little easier.

Die cutter/embossing

Paper Cutter

Die brush

Tonic glass work space

Repeat Impressions Stamps

I have several more "tools" "gadgets", etc that I use every time I stamp, but these are my "favorites".  As you can see my desk even though it is tidied up has a lot more "tools" such as my Ott Light, 3 drawer storage units, desk waste basket etc.  I prefer to start each project with a clean work space, although that doesn't always happen - sometimes I get so much out that I can't find anything.  But I don't think I am the only one who does this.  

So bet you are waiting to see a few of my favorite Repeat Impressions cards that I have made over the years using a few of my favorite Repeat Impressions Stamps.  


8101-L Bull Dog

701-K Belle 
1105-E Thinking of You

10630-J Had a Crappy Day 
10634-I Outhouse

10632-I Toilet Tissue
10602-E  10609-F  10618-K sentiment


Hope you have enjoyed looking through my favorite things as well as my favorite cards made with Repeat Impressions stamps.

September 5, 2019 Carter's Birthday Card

My great grandson Carter celebrated his 4th birthday yesterday on the 4th - I already had two posts scheduled for that day so I posted it today.

This was a "freebie" from Simon Says a couple of years ago and I thought it was perfect for Carter's 4th Birthday  I found the pizza paper at Michaels - which went perfectly with the pup and pizza.  I used SU dies to cut out the label he is stamped on.  is birthday party is not until Sept. 14 but wanted to get his card to him before then.  Besides it is just another good reason to make himanother card or a cute tag to go with his gift.  Love you Carter.

September 4, 2019 Designer Choice Starts with a B


Is it really September???  The kids are back in school, leaves are just starting to fall depending on the type of tree, the air is just a bit cooler.  What a good time to take a hike so put on your Boots and grab your Binoculars, maybe a light jacket and lets go.  Heather picked "Starts with B" for our designer choice this month.

For my boots I used right and left boot prints 2720-G Left and 2721-G Right Boot prints and 2919-I Binoculars  and for my sentiment  6524-C Just Imagine 
I did something I had not done is a really long time and that was to stamp with bleach for my boot prints, I am surprised with the yellowish tones I got but it worked well with my layer of DP.  I stamped the sentiment and binoculars on a hexagon shape die cut to fill up the two corners.  I am happy with the way it turned out.  And I am also happy that both images start with B.

September 4, 2019 Happy Birthday Danni

Today is Danni's 50 - yes her 50th birthday so we are doing a little blog hop in celebration. 


I choose this one as it is bright, cheerful, and sunny so I thought I would go with that vs. an over the hill card.  I used all SU products on this card and I love how the navy and yellow compliment each other. 

To follow along on the blog hop here is the order

Have a great day Danni and may your day be filled with blessings.
