CARDS, CARDS, AND MORE CARDS!!!

Looking ahead at my May classes to make fathers day cards, here is a card that I made using some of the retiring items. This one is on Kraft cs with the Log Cabin smooch spritz and old olive, really rust and vanilla cs. I stamped the tree from Lovely as a Tree set and the sentiment from Let the Fun Begin set. I also smooched the frame from the vanilla hodgepodge. Then I used my heat tool to set the spray quicker. It worked great. I think I am going to try it in the other colors and see what effect I get. I just love this smooch, it added a great touch to your projects. Cannot wait to start showing it.
Here is a retirement card I made using the Branch Out (retired) and Peddling Past sets. On ruby red and old olive cs. You cannot see it but I stamped the inside with the "Happy Retirement" stamp from Let the Fun Begin set. One set I missed for so long. Goes to show that sometimes you never see all that Stampin' has to offer.

A couple more cards with the Vintage Vogue set. Love this one also. Hope you like. Decided to use some of the vanilla hodgepodge frames I have been keeping for whatever reason, who knows. I think they have a name for that. lol

A couple cards I made using the Ribbon of Hope stamp and shades of pink.
Here is a card I made using some of the pink scraps I have extra. I used I (Heart) Hearts set and several different pink inks. Hope you like it.
I really like this card but I am so sorry for the blurr. I don't know what happened this time. It's on ww, so saffron, and bouquet bunch and one of a kind stamp sets. Simple but cute.
Here is a neat card that would be a great fathers day card. It will be here before we know it. It is on vanilla and choc chip cs. I stamped the motorcycle image then smooched with the log cabin spray. I love this smooch. I used the one of a kind stamp set and added 3 eyelets. Hope you like it.
This card was a quick one with very little stamping. I used papers from the welcome neighbor DSP pad, scallop punched mellow moss layer and stamped with the Peddling Past stamp set. Love this set. Quick and easy.
Here is another try at the black magic technique. I am trying to use up some of my discontinued papers, so I used lovely lilac splattered with the spritzer and lilac marker and ww cs and satin ribbon. Sentiment from another source.
This card I made from regal rose and vanilla cs and I used mostly vintage stencil. I sponged regal rose ink in the center then creamy caramel and choc chip around the outer edge of the stencil. Tore the edges and sponged them with choc chip. Added vanilla satin ribbon and a half pearl from the pretties kit. Then smooched all with vanilla. No sentiment, couldn't decide what to do from here. Maybe you can give me ideas.
Here is a different angle so hopefully you can see the shimmer from the vanilla smooch spritz on the front of the card. I love this smooch spritz, have I mentioned that before? LOL

NEW COLOR RENOVATIONS!

I am so excited about the new color renovation for this summer. With the new Catty for 2010-2011 we will be having a new color change. Remember, change is good for growth. We will be loosing some of the colors we were comfortable with but in return we will be getting 5 new colors and 10 returning old in-colors. I can't wait to tell you about all the new changes and how much I am excited and I am sure you will be also. There is a class this Sunday April 11 at Faith Community Church on Grissom Aeroplex at 4:30 and all are welcome. We will be hearing about the new changes then and I wouldn't want you to miss the news. Be sure to get in touch with me via this site to let me know you are coming and we will be excited to see you there.

Now that you have seen the new color collections, we know what always happens. We must let some of the ones we have been using and love go away. Here is a list of the ones that will be retiring on the 1st of July. But don't be sad, remember we have all the new and returning colors to take their place. Just think of all the exciting things you can make with them. If you would like to see the new items and colors be sure to get in touch with me and lets get a date set for a get-together with your friends and family so they can see them also. Just get in touch with me thru this site and I'll be sure to make it a eventful time.

EASTER WISHES


Here is a card I put together using the Abundant Hope and Refuge and Strength sets. Dsp out of the paper pack from the SAB brochure and old olive taffeta ribbon. Hope you like what you see.

Sorry you are under the weather Tess.



Here are a couple cards I made with Tess. I needed to clean off my work desk and so I put a couple of cards together. Hope you like. The first one I made raindrops using crystal effects tinted with a little bashful blue reinker and dropped on the page with the end of a wooden skewer.

Easter Basket



Here is my case of Gretchen Barrons Easter Basket. I just love her ideas. She is so creative. I wanted to make it this month for my monthly Sunday night class so I changed it a little. I took the same design and changed the decorations. I made the paper roses using the large flower punch we have, I cannot remember whos turtorial, but when I do you've got the credit. There's a great video on Stampin connection for these flowers. Thanks to both of you ladies for the ideas. You are great.
