more SU! and a case...

Hi all!
Here we are at the beginning of another week...boy those weekends fly right by me!
I was checking out my usual blogs this weekend and saw this card made by Dawn, and thought it was really pretty (love her color combos!!). I didn't have the all the PTI colors, so decided to improvise with my SU! stash. And since I was using SU! Paper and Ink...decided to go ahead and make the card totally SU! I also got a new punch that I tried out on this card (I am getting addicted to edge punches!!).

My family was nice enough to let me do a very mini photo shoot this weekend...of course I picked a really hot day (it was 113 degrees on Saturday). I did get some pretty good shots (still learning my new camera)...if you want to see them, check out my 365 blog...I will be posting some this week *smile*

Enjoy today and thanks for visiting!!!

Supplies used (SU! unless noted): Always stamp set; Groovy Guava/Certainly Celery/Regal Rose/Whisper White cardstock; Groovy Guava/Certainly Celery/Regal Rose ink; Small Circle Punch; Upper Crest Boarder Punch (Fiskars); Certainly Celery Grosgrain Ribbon

Happy Friday!!!

another floral frenzy...

Oh how I love Fridays!!! Woot~Woot!!

Am I the only one that cannot believe that September is right around the corner??? Where is the time going!!!

I have been trying some new ways to post photos onto the old blog...and I am hoping it worked okay :o) I really like large images and the ones offered by Blogger, well are just not big enough for my liking!!!

Today I cased one of my all time favorite stampers!!!! This is Nichole's awesome card (can that girl stamp or what?). I just love going to her blog and getting inspired!!! I think that is why I love Papertrey products so much *smile*

On a random note...I was looking through one of my favorite photography forums last night and came across this website and was quite amazed with the final products!!! my opinion...Photoshop is an awesome program!!! No wonder no one likes pictures of themselves (even these gorgeous people need PS)!!!

Have a terrific weekend!!!

Supplies used (SU! unless noted): Floral Frenzy/Everyday Button Bits (PTI); Kraft/Choc Chip/Whisper White/Pumpkin Pie cardstock; Pumpkin Pie/Choc Chip/White/Old Olive ink pads; Corner Rounder punch; Oval/Oval Scallop Nestabilities Dies (used with Cuttlebug)

more SU! goodness...

Hi all...
I have another SU! card for you (but I did use some PTI ink/ribbon/button, LOL!). I think the set Priceless is so versatile!!! I just love those swirly images!!! This card came together very quickly...I just love those quick and easy kind of cards!! Of course I had to paper piece a bit (I think I am addicted to that technique, LOL!)...I just love to pop things up with dimensional's (aka~pop dots). I really like the color scheme of Ripe Avocado/Ocean Tide/Berry Sorbet too...really pretty!!!

Mike and I trimmed our big tree the other day (Mike trimmed~I cleaned up, LOL!). I hope that counted as exercise!!! We have to wait until evening to do yard work in the summer, since it is way too hot in the afternoon (even though it was 99 degrees at 6:45 pm)~It was getting dark and I was scooping up leaves...and trying not to think if there might be any creatures in the piles~like scorpions (they really gross me out!!)...probably a good thing it was dark!
Okay enough rambling, LOL!

Enjoy Today!

Supplies used (SU! unless noted): Priceless stamp set; Kraft/Whisper White/Ocean Tide (PTI) Cardstock; Berry Sorbet/Ocean Tide/Ripe Avocado (all PTI) ink; Ripe Avocado Double Stitched Ribbon (PTI); Berry Sorbet Button (PTI); Twine; Small Mini Circle Punch

totally SU!!

Happy Monday Peeps!!!
I hope you had a Fabulous weekend!! As promised I did not use my Everyday Button Bits stamp set (which I love btw) for this weeks posts (ha ha!), I actually pulled out some of my neglected SU! sets. I used True Friend and Absolutely Fabulous for today's card. I even used all SU! paper and ink *smile*

For the flower image, I used my SU! markers to color the image and then "huffed" on the stamp to moisten~then stamped onto cardstock. I love that technique, so much easier than masking with tape!!!

I have today off from work~woot!!! and so does my hubby...so I am hoping to get a few things accomplished around the house (yard work~for Mike, organizing, maybe ironing, etc)...and then some shooting time!!! I have been so busy over the past few days/weekend that I have only taken a few pictures (mostly for my blog).

I hope you have an Awesome Monday!!!!

Supplies used (SU! unless noted): True Friend/Absolutely Fabulous/Polka Dot Bkgrd stamps; Kraft/More Mustard/Close to Cocoa/Old Olive/Whisper White cardstock; White (craft) ink; Old Olive/More Mustard markers; Kraft Taffeta ribbon; Scallop Punch; Button (unknown); Twine

so sweet...

Happy Friday!!!
I have to work today (usually have it off), so just a quickie post for today!!!

I whipped up this card for my Mom, who celebrated her birthday on August 11th (I think she is 39...just like me, LOL!). I had sort of a green themed gift going on (one of her favorite colors), so I tried to match the card with the gifts. I am sorry if you are getting sick of my Everyday Button Bits stamp set...I promise to use something else for next weeks posts. I love pretty much love every image it that set...but aren't these cherries so stinkin' cute???

I have been so busy that I haven't really had time to play with my new toy...hope to get out and shoot this weekend, and stamp, of course!!!

Have a fabulous weekend!!!

i chair-ish your friendship...

Happy Wednesday to ya!!! I hope you are having a great week so far!!!

I just love this sentiment in the On My Couch stamp set (i chair-ish your friendship)...isn't it cute? Of course you have to add a chair to the card (paper pieced of course), LOL!!! I used my Enchanted Evening ink for the chair and Scarlett Jewel for the throw pillow. I just love how the PTI stamp sets pay such attention to detail...I also added an end table and plant to the image too~I felt like an interior designer...so fun!!!

My new camera arrives today...woot~woot!!! Cannot wait for Mr Brown to visit my house!!! Luckily I have a short day at work *wink*

The weekend is almost here!!! Enjoy Today!!!

Supplies used (PTI unless noted): On My Couch stamp set; Enchanted Evening/Ripe Avocado/Choc Chip (SU!)/Scarlett Jewel ink pads; Kraft (SU!)/Whisper White (SU!)/Choc Chip (SU!) cardstock; Enchanted Evening double stitched ribbon; SU! Dimensionals
