Hello from Las Vegas!!!!

I was going to post a picture of one of the shows in the casino of the hotel I am staying in but for some reason I can't. As soon as I can I will. They have this Dance and musical show like every hour. There is an overhead show and a stage show, The overhead one is done in what looks like floats hanging from tracks in the ceiling. It is actually very pretty. I went to the Red Rock Mountains and got some really nice pictures that I will post when I can. I am here until Saturday and as promised when I get home I will have some new stampin up stuff and so I will make some cards or projects. Thanks for stopping in and letting me ramble.

Going away

So I am going away on Friday. I will head to Massachusetts for my older sisters wedding where I am her matron of honor, On Sunday I will be heading out to Las Vegas and a quick visit to lake tahoe and hoover dam. I will be back on Saturday. I am bringing my laptop but don't know how much time I can spend on it in and I promise when I am back there will be more cards to post. I will show you some of the swaps I have been. Thanks for stopping in and checking on me and I will see you next Sunday

2-5-7-10 box

Well I had to try this because everyone else is doing it. Mine isn't as extravagent as most of them but for my first try it isnt bad, I used certainly celery cs and old olive ink and a floral wheel. and of course te\he ribbon is from one of Jody Morrows swaps. You can find the tutorial at splitcoast stampers. Thanks for stopping by.

JT"s Sept rak

I joined Jens Rak club this month (pieces of me) and this is what I got from Rita over at Ritaslittlecorner.blogspot.com. You have to check out her blog she is very talented. Isn't this a great Rak. It has paper, Ribbon, acrylic stamps and a beautiful crisscross card using baroque motiffs. She did a fantastic job and I am so lucky that i was chosen to be rak'd by Rita. You should check out Jen's wrak club each month too, it is so nice to be rak'd from other bloggers. Thanks for stopping in. I am going to go make a card with some of this stuff that Rita sent.

Another card with my new GinaK Stamps

Have I told you that I love this set. You can absolutely use it for anything. The only color su cs I can remember the color is is very vanilla and the other colors are old su colors. I used my cuddlebug to emboss on of the mats and I added a couple of brads. I also used su water color pencils and blender pens. I actually did this card a few days ago and just never took a picture until tonight. Thanks for stopping by
