Sorry I've been gone

My computer died and it's been awhile, I now have a new computer but am still learning how to use it, about the time I think I know it a update comes along and I get lost all over again. But never give up on me I will learn it in time. I've been working on creations just have to figure out how to post them after I take the pictures of them. I fell on the ice and broke my ankle in three places so that threw a wrench in the creations for quite awhile. I am learning how to walk again and hope to be able to negotiate the steps to my craft room on a more frequent basis. So stay tuned and don't give up on me.

Thinking of You


I used the Stampin' Up "Perfect Polka Dots" Impressions Folder to emboss. I used a retired Stampin' Up stamp set. I used the "Scallop Trim" Border Punch. I used Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Close To Cocoa and Whisper White cardstock. I used Craft White Ink and Classic Ink Glorious Green. I used Stampin Dimensionals under the flower.I used White 1/4" Whisper White Grosgrain ribbon. I stamped the sentiment in Pixie Pink Classic Ink. And a red brad.

Get Well Soon Card

I used a few different Stampin' Up stamp sets for this card. The tree and sentiment are from the "Thoughts & Prayers" SU set. The bench is from "Pendant Park". And the bluebirds are from the "Picture This" Hostess Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog. To get just the birds I used the Aqua painter and Brocade Blue Classic Inks, and just colored the bird then stamped. To give the park bench dimension I used Dimensionals. I used Very Vanilla and Elegant Eggplant cardstock. The Classic Ink colors I used were Elegant Eggplant, Chocolate Chip, Close To Cocoa and (on the Elegant Eggplant piece I used) Versamark. The ribbon is the 1/4" Old Olive Grosgrain.

Peace Within


I CASEd the basic design from the Stampin' Up catalog. I used the "Peace Within"set by Stampin' Up. I used Saraha Sand, Mellon Mambo, Close to Cocoa, More Mustard and Whisper White cardstock. I used the Aqua painter with the Classic Ink stamp pads to color the images. I used 5/8" Whisper White Grosgrain ribbon.

Good Friend

I used the Stampin' Up set "Good Friends". The ribbon, darker cardstock and Classic ink are all Dusty Durando. All other cardstock and brads are stuff I had on hand.

Crazy For Cupcakes


All of the images are from Stampin' Up's "Crazy For Cupcakes" stamp set. I used cardstock and pattern paper from a previous years Simply Sent set by Stampin' Up.
