This baby card was made in several different colors, each of them looking great. The pull out feature is my monthly challenge. I'd love to see what you come up with in a pull-out card. Email yours to spicystamper@gmail.com and I'll feature them on my blog and facebook page.</div>

This little gnome was a fun one, I don't often color in my images, but it was so simple with blender pens and classic ink pads. And with flowers starting to grow and trees starting to blossom, happiness is being "sprinkled" everywhere!</div>

This Medallion stamp is being retired in a few months. I love this stamp and will be sad to see it go, but I have one, so I won't be too sad!! lol This card is so versatile and could be used for any occassion from sympathy to wedding or anniversary. Just change your words and you're good to go. It literally takes just minutes to make!</div>

Nothing like a wedding in the works to get the creative juices flowing!! I am feeling super lucky to be asked to make the invitations for this glorious event, and being my first big order for invitations, I needed to get some samples done up. I did a lot of google searching and found lots of I ideas I could work with. The first invitation I made, I fell in love with and secretly hoped that would be the one she picked, and pending future spouse's thumbs up, that's the one all right!! I have plenty of time to get it done, and can't wait to get started!! Enjoy my invitations and let me know what you think!!</div><br />

A very full moving truck, a very full trailer and several minivans and we now live in Duchess, Alberta! We have downsized significantly (about half the space) but don't miss a single thing that we gave up to be here. Well, that's not true, I REALLY miss my craft room!! I have taken over half of my kitchen counter top the last few days to stamp and boy has it ever felt great!! lol It's been well over two months since I've been able to spend a little time stamping.<br />
I have had to find some new storage for my Stampin' supplies, so I bought one of those rolling plastic 5-drawer units. It's amazing how much can fit into those things!! And at least it can go wherever I need it to.<br />
A few friends are expecting babies in the next little while so that was high on my list to make a few baby cards, but not knowing the sex, had to make a few, aw shucks!! hee hee<br />

We had a basement reno going on for the last few months and I was stamping out of Rubbermaid totes. It feels great now to have things at an arms reach and not have to pack it all back up again when I'm done!!<br />

Now please note that my excitement is not for the game itself, but for the card making time it buys me!! My hubby of course brought it home with him yesterday and wore a groove in the couch last night playing away. (and I gladly wore a groove on the other side of the couch and the coffee table getting some cards made!) It really does give me uninterrupted time doing what I love!!<br />
Here are some of the cards I came up with!! Thanks for looking!<br />

It's so cool to see what other people pull from one card. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'll be at a Trade Show/Garage sale on Saturday, otherwise I would have expected a wet weekend indoors maybe working on a few projects. Follow that with a birthday party (that reminds me, I need to go make a card!) and then Sunday is Father's Day!!!! It's awesome fun for me to watch the boys shower their Daddy with love on Father's Day. They get so very excited. And they are getting better at keeping secrets too, which helps!

We have had so many household projects on the go, that I haven't had much time to stamp! We have refinished (well, almost done) our front door, built a picnic table top (still needs legs), made a new house address board for our house (no more number in the window!!), done some plumbing and moving of things in the laundry room....... the list goes on. Not to mention the yardwork and keeping up with three wonderfully busy little boys! Son #2 has taken to scaling the fence and bolting down the street, so my ears are constantly open for the sound of the gate opening!<div><div>This card was made a few weekends ago, I used the shimmer paint, gave it a faux stitch and popped a stamp in the center. The stamp used is from the "Elements of Style" set in the current mini. The "Thanks so Much</div><div>" is from the same mini's set "Watercolor Trio". A few strips of paper and a couple of brads, and voila!!</div><div><br /></div><div>Lately I've discovered a wonderful use for paper! It can get very frustrating when you need that one color of ribbon that you just don't have! Use paper!! </div><div>You can work it and manipulate it to look so very close to ribbon, and you end up being able to use so many colors.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>I received my new Stampin' Up! Catty in the mail on Tuesday!! Hoooorrrraaaayyyyy! I'm still finding new things inside! And then my preorder goodies arrived yesterday. All of my sets are mounted already, now I just need to find the time to get creating! Finger</div><div>s crossed that tonight may work! Stampin' Up! has outdone themselves with such a beautiful catalogue. It is so incredibly friendly to both new and veteran stampers. The card ideas inside are amazing and the new getting started collection for new stampers is such a great idea. That's one of the things that I had wished for when I started. Way to go SU! There are much needed storage solutions for punches and Big Shot dies. And the colors...... I love them. They</div><div> really thought of their customers when they made this one! Because of the color renovation they are awesome in offering add on kits to complete certain collections such as the markers,</div><div> crayons and pastels. This is so great because you don't have to replace your whole set! Just add on the new color kit. Awesome. I can't wait to share this new catty with all of my customers!

What a great day partly spent with a good friend and hopefully some card time tonight. <div>I placed my pre-order last night for some of the new catalogue items! Now I just have to wait..... :) (I'm not very good at waiting)</div><div><br /></div><div>This card was fun to make. It did not start out well, but I love clean lines so this one hits the favorite list.</div><div><br /></div><div>The base is Regal Rose and the Good Morning Sunshine DSP (retired) is inked around the edges with Pacific Point ink, and then the corners punched out using a 1/2" circle punch. Two strips of Pumpkin Pie Card stock make the top and bottom of the whisper white strip. </div><div>I used a Sneak Peek set from the upcoming Idea Book and Catalogue, Awash with Flowers. The flowers and stems are stamped in Pacific Point, Regal Rose, and Old Olive Classic inks. The quote on the tag is also stamped in Pacific Point. The corduroy button is a retired item off of Stampin' Up!'s clearance rack, but I will use them up quickly considering that Pacific Point makes it's return in less than a month!! I tied it up with the silver elastic cord that was in the last Christmas mini, and then stuck it on using Crystal Effects. Crystal Effects hardens clear and works as a glue or makes a great glaze. </div>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875704089526964118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476788445750120394.post-76261418654545219722010-06-01T16:04:00.000-06:002010-06-01T16:42:51.391-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8v5mH7JLprCe_TWg1OXZf90FS-EjFr3kRVO6Q9t_VnjJ2mScCKGMGfwx1M8UqK-FyMF4ga_4zVwDrWlHGms45oTlJEs9BSs02rKE7r5fG-MNntkS6kclrtwYna8FAkVqcA-yYPghR1LIS/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8v5mH7JLprCe_TWg1OXZf90FS-EjFr3kRVO6Q9t_VnjJ2mScCKGMGfwx1M8UqK-FyMF4ga_4zVwDrWlHGms45oTlJEs9BSs02rKE7r5fG-MNntkS6kclrtwYna8FAkVqcA-yYPghR1LIS/s400/003.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477934170321145954" /></a> I made this one on Saturday at A's house. I had made the flower the night before at R's. I used Regal Rose for the base of the card with Whisper white as the top piece. The flower is made from striped paper from the Sweet Pea Paper pack that was featured in the Spring Mini Catalogue. I used the Bargello Needlepoint technique to build the flower and the the Extra Large Flower Punch to punch out the shape. Then used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the flower. <div>The Whisper White cardstock is textured using the Bigshot and the texturz plates "Texture Plates Kit #4". </div><div>Using the Build a Brads, I made a Pumpkin Pie 1/2" circle and punched out a dot coordinating with my striped paper. I like to use a little Crystal Effects to set the Brad together. </div><div>In Regal Rose Classic Ink, I used the Happy Birthday from the Watercolor Trio out of the new Summer Mini. </div><div><br /></div><div>This card is so very simple to make!! Give it a try!</div><div><br /></div>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875704089526964118noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1476788445750120394.post-78021114498421133122010-06-01T15:50:00.000-06:002010-06-01T15:58:57.324-06:001st Blog.... EverWell, that was painless! Blog set up and ready to go. Now just time to upload some pictures of cards! <div>Let me tell you a little bit about myself.... I am a Wife of 10 years, a busy Mother to three equally busy boys. They are aged 5, 3 and 17 months. If you have kids at all and especially kids that age, you will likely share the opinion that a hobby is a great thing to keep your mind running smoothly. </div><div><br /></div><div>I have found the joy of stamping! I love to make cards!! When my kids go to bed at night, (and some nights, the sooner the better) I haul out ALL my supplies and have a little fun. I'm looking forward to sharing my creations with you! I enjoy all things handmade, so you may see a few other thins pop up now and again. Thanks for reading and I hope you like what you see!</div>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10875704089526964118noreply@blogger.com0
