Since you should always remember your Mom and thank her often, I used the Mother's Magnolia stamp set from March 2012.  See how timeless these stamps remain, to be used even years later, after they were released! I put the sentiment on an oval die cut and popped it up with pop dots!

Mon., Oct. 24, 2016 A Different One from me.

 I made this music inspired card for my son.  I hope he will like it.  CAS-ual Fridays Stamps were used here, along with some pearls and gems, on the ribbons.

Thanks for visiting!

Oct. 21,2016 I Love These Trees

This tree stamp from Gina K just makes me happy, and it is so easy to create a wintry scene with them! This stamp comes from The Home for the Holidays stamp set.

10.20.2016 I Cased -for STV16MON42

 

 Here is the Karen Hightower's card that I cased. It is called Always Thankful.

10.19.2016 Home for the Holidays Wishes

The new StampTV kit at work.  It is called At Home for the Holidays. Fun playing today using Copics, Memento, dimensional and sponging.

Oct. 18, 2016 How I store my Ink pads

I had to share this info with you, with a link.  This rack holds a 100 ink pads, and I have mine mounted on the wall at my work area.  The price is a real deal for what you get, as it is so sturdy and mine is almost 10 yrs. old already.  I  recommend it highly and 2 of my stamping friends have also bought these same racks.  I have no trouble storing my GkD inks, my Distress inks from Tim Holtz, and Memento inks - They all fit wonderfully.

You won't regret this purchase.  If a few slots are a little too snug, you can sand the tops a smidgen, and since you can add the ink name on a little stick on label to the side edge , you can see their names at a glance.

 http://www.kingdom.com/100-capacity-wooden-cassette-rack-unfinished-wood.html

Here is a picture of the rack from their web site, and it costs less than $25.00.
 
You will love this and I find it is more conveniently that stacking the inks in a drawer!  Been there and done that --but it was years and years ago!

Mon.Oct. 17, 2016 It was a GREAT GKD Weekend- woohoo !

This was a whirlwind weekend at Gina's store, with Gina, her husband Tom, Melanie and Theresa for lots of learning and visiting and meeting so many wonderful ladies and one man that was a student with us I had so much fun.  I am so happy that I am only an hour or so away, but many people came from all over the country! Some drove long hours and some flew here.

This first Gina weekend event was worth every penny.
 The Hampton Inn, where most spent the weekend, had provided us with such great service and terrific place to collapse each night.  They were wonderful to us!

We learned so much- great techniques and tons of goodies. This post contains the pics I took- both of some of the instructors, followed by the cards I made in the classes.  ENJOY!

                                                                 Karen Hightower

                                              Theresa, Gina and Melanie

                                                                Theresa and Regina Cooper

                                                     Theresa Momber and Karen Knegten

                                                               Melanie and Theresa, and the wine-hahaha

                                                                     Melanie and Theresa

Sorry for the very full post and since I was so anxious to give you a taste I didn't edit or crop these photos, but I hope you like looking at them.

Can you leave me a comment????

MOJO469 Karen K

This is for the sketch challenge MOJO469 at Split Coast Stampers.

Monday, Oct. 10, 2016 Hog Wild for your Birthday

A new card I created on Sunday, with Memento, Copics, and some diamond Stickles, mounted on CS and patterned paper.  Just a fun card!

Here is what I came up with:

Thanks for visiting!

Fri. Oct. 7, 2016 A Cupcake to Celebrate Your Day

Lots of red and brown for a birthday card to celebrate, for either a male or female!

I used the cupcake stamp from Claire Brennan, at Gina K.  Some die cuts finish this card-  looks like yummy chocolate to me!

Monday Afternoon, Oct.3, 2016 Splitcoast F4A345 pillow Box

Mon. Oct. 3, 2016 MOJO468 Sketch Challenge

Sun. Oct. 2, 2016 Bounty of Blessing

I stamped and fussy cut these 3 acorns and mounted them with pop dots inside the circle and some leaves, from the GKD Painted Autumn stamp set.  Sponging the background and mounting it on a piece of Tim Holtz Glassine paper gave me the look I wanted for this Fall card.

Thank you for visiting today.

Sat. Oct. 1, 2016 Faux Torn Edges & SC612 Sketch Challenge

This card was made for the STV16MON39 Challenge- Faux Torn Edges, as shown by GKD-

I made this into a Thank You card, with the added butterfly, that was multi colored with Copics.

The clouds were sponged in between some torn edged paper.  Look like clouds, right?

I made this one for a challenge at Splitcoast Stampers SC612- a sketch.  Here is the sketch-

This is my card- yes, another Christmas one.  I used an old stamp set by Theresa Momber and Gina K., called  Very Merry Christmas, from 2009, I think.  The tree was a Spellbinder die cut that I colored with Copic Markers.  Stick on gems were added as ornaments.

Thank you for stopping by today!
