Stamparatus is here!!!

I got my Stamparatus and made these cards with it.  It is so marvelous!!!   When you do three step stamping it works perfectly to get all the pieces aligned.

The Kit that Never Ends!

Here are the last of the cards I made from February Paper Pumpkin kit!   I had a lot of fun using all the bits of the kit and some of my own stash to create about twenty cards.  You get all the ink, stamps and paper you need in these kits to create many cards and...it is delivered right to your door!

Sale-a-bration and Paper Pumpkin

I am trying to use my entire Paper Pumpkin kit and  found they matched with the free set of cards offered during Sale-a-bration!   I just am using all the pieces and they stick so easily onto any card!

A Challenge Card from Paper Pumpkin

I am still making cards from my Paper Pumpkin kit!  This card was for a challenge from our Westcoast Creator Leader Angela McKay.  I added some bling and colour to make it a congratulation card.  You get enough pieces in a kit to make way more cards than they give you.  

Paper Pumpkin

This month was another wonderful kit!  I am making cards as they show in the kit but also playing with pieces of Pool Party on my desk.

Halfway done my Quilt

I have seen all the squares together and put the layers together and now have to quilt it with my machine!  It is the hardest part and it is puckering a bit but for my first quilt - I am pleased with how it is turning out!

New Hobby!

I have always wanted to learn to quilt and signed up for a class and this is my first block.  I am making this quilt for my one year d granddaughter.

More Maui Beach Scenes

These are the last of my beach themed cards which I brought with me to Maui to give to the people where we are staying. I cased these from Su Mohr and varied them a little bit.  I had to add the little turtle at the bottom as we have seen so many near the beach where we are!

Variations on my Beach Card

I only brought a few things with me to Maui but am enjoying what one can do with a simple design!  I really love these chairs!!

More Experimenting

I had never used the colour lifter with my blender pens so tried that today!   On the bottom I coloured light Smoky Slate and then lifted the colour.  On the bottom right I costed with the colour lifter after lifting the gray and think I like that better.   

Relaxing Coloring

I stamped a bunch for f these before I left for Hawaii and have coloured in two.  I didn’t bring all my colours with me so want to try some different colours on the top one - some darker greens I think!  This is a great hostess set from the Occasions catalogue!

My favourite Scene

I wanted to make some Maui beach cards before I left and am just putting them together here in Maui!  I love the beach and I love palm trees!!!  I got the basic idea for this card fromPatty Bennett but didn’t have all the paper that she had so I came up with this design.

Fast fuse is on sale again.  Buy the Fast fuse and get two refills for free!

Looks like Hawaii!

My daughter stamped these cards for me the night before I left for Maui.  We cased them from Teresa Howe.  They look just like the beach here.   I was putting them together on the airplane and people walking by were asking if I had painted them and everyone loved them!!
