feeling like I live in Oz


When I lived in Massachusetts I think I saw pieces of rainbows but never one as clear and as pretty as the one I saw today above my house in North Carolina. I felt like I should be singing " Somewhere Over the Rainbow" or maybe even trying to find the pot of gold at the end of it. Thanks for stopping in I just thought I would show you how beautiful nature can be.

finally using my little lady stamps


So I finally used my papertrey stamps, I used su cs red black and whisper white. and the ink was real red from su. and the ribbon is from one of Jody Morrow's swaps. I also used red and black dewdrops for the ladybug. Thanks for stopping in and maybe later I will use my newest papertrey stamps.

comment moderation

I Have no Idea what the 4th comment on my new stamp set post says but as I fear it cant be a good thing I am turning comment moderation back on. I hate all the letters to type when I go to other blogs but now I understand why it is done. Thanks for listening.

Cheryl came over yesterday


Cheryl came to my house this time and we cased this card from stamping therapy. Its not a direct case because we changed up the colors but for the most part it is a case. We used the stamp set the art of life and cs was su old olive and ww and I can't remember what the other color is. we used ribbon from one of Jody Morrows swaps and the inks were versamark brilliants which Cheryl just got from doodliedo. and the eyelets are something I had hanging around. Hope you enjoy this card. I think It came out pretty good. Thanks for stopping in

Cased from the inkblog


This was a card I did after reading on the inkblog about pearlex and future florwax. I love the way the flowers look like cloisine. The cs was Su perfect plum and I used heat and stick and dazzling diamonds for the sentiment(wished I had just stamped it though) I love the way the flowers came out so check it out at the Inkblog.

How does your garden grow?


I don't usually cut my garden flowers but when I lived in the Northeast I could only grow these Calla Lillies in the house and now I live in the Southeast so I thought I would try to grow them outside and as you can see they did quite well. The Picture doesn't do them justice. they are white with a little purple shading around the edge. I guess you can tell I am excited about these. I should cut them all but I have to let my neighbors look at them too. Thanks for stopping

Easy shaker card


This card came from a tutorial I found at card inspired by maria. It uses a cd sleeve to make the actual shaker card instead of all that cutting. I used a stamp from alexa's. I did it in pinks because I am going to send it to my granddaughter. The inside of the shaker was some confetti found at hobby lobby but next time I think I will use something made out of paper because this is plastic and gets stuck in the card when you shake it. Its a great way to make a shaker so head over to cardinspiredbymaria.blogspot.com/ She has a lot of tutorials and she is so talented. thanks for stopping.

Beate's sketch 2nd card



I went to my friend cheryl's yesterday and she wanted to Beate's challenge so I did a 2nd card with her. I used delight in life stamps from su. 0ld olive ink and some glitterpack paper. I used a photo divit(can't remember what its called) from su hodge podge. This worked much better to keep the gate card closed. Let me know what you think and Thanks for stopping by. I forgot to mention that I used the giga and mega scalloped oval for my center piece.
