Red, white and blue.


Well, this card actually started out for a 4th of July card, but didnt end up there, lol. My cards do that ALOT. I so love how this card turned out. And I rarely love my cards, haha! And I had a little mishap after coloring this image. I dropped the stamp I was using to stamp the sentiment and it just HAD to flop on my colored image...sooooo had to cut it out, and it had some flowers on left hand side that I had to cut off too...but think its still ok? Anyways, on to the card details.

Stamps: Friendship Blooms by Gina K Designs
Papers: red/blue cardstock is SU! white cards stock is from PTI, brown cardstock is Kraft Note cards from HL
Accessories: copic markers, ribbon from HL, marvey oval punch, rectangle nesties, pop dots, red brads from Making Memories, punch tool and pad.

Thanks for taking the time to look and ANY comment so much appreciated!

First card with PTI stamp.


Well, I got my first order from PTI, and had to play with it. I ordered a package of their white cardstock, since everybody was raving about it, and of course HAD to get a stamp set too, lol. So I tried their newly released Borders and Beams. LOVE it! LOVE the white cardstock too, its doing great with copic markers. Havent tried with OMS yet, but fixing to. Hope it does good with that too, love the heavy weight of it. Last couple of cards havent been able to take a picture outside like I had been trying to do, much better lighting than my house has...darn rain! This picture kinda makes the metallic rub paste I used around the edges...makes it look dirty! And can you even tell I scored lines at the top of the card?

Card Details:
Stamps: Borders and Beams by Papertrey Ink
Papers: White card stock is from Papertrey Ink, DP is DCWV I think.
Accessories: rectangle nesties, copic markers, ribbon from HL, pop dots, scor-pal, metallic rub-on paste from Gina K Designs

thanks for taking the time to look and hope you are having a wonderful weekend! (our electric was off last night from 10:30pm till 6:30am...we about burned up!!

Tooting my horn!

I just had to toot my horn a bit...lol. I got notice today that a card I submitted to Scrapbook News and Reviews will be in the July issue. Now whats kinda funny, I did this on a whim. I know nothing about submitting, or this online magazine. It was the BBQ card, the one that I used the stamp set King of the Grill from Gina K Designs and 2 stamps from Stampabilities. I have to sign a contract and send back, which they give me 2 months subscription free for compensation...I'll let everyone know how good a magazine it is after that, lol. Anyways, made my DAY!! and will have a card a bit later...been so busy cleaning after grandbaby and daughter left...
