Cracked Glass Razzle Dazzle

Couldn't stop with the quick one....had to make something else. Not only that, I had to attempt a technique I've never done before. I've always wanted to try cracked glass, but I had to wait until 1:00 in the morning to try and figure it out. It worked. Yippee! This card used lots of new SU stuff. I'm not sure if I like this one better than the last one. I may have to try and figure it out after some sleep. Thank you for your comments.

Razzle Dazzle Clean and Simple

I just received my Stampin Up order and had no choice but to stay up waaayyy too late to ink up at least one set of new stamps. This card uses the new Razzle Dazzle stamp set and was pretty quick and easy to put together. I also used the new "suede" color from SU. In fact, everything on this card is from SU. Hope you like it.

Sterling Rose

Thank you for all of your kind comments on my peace rose card. My mother's favorite rose is a "sterling". I attempted to duplicate the colors using SU's pale plum and perfect plum reinkers. All of the papers are SU. The ribbon is from my stash and I don't know who makes it as I only had a little piece left. I apologize for posting another rose card, but am hoping that you will enjoy this beautiful rose. Thank you for your comments. Have a great day!

Peace Rose

Oh my goodness! Unless you are planning on being addicted to a new technique - don't try this. Just click on the picture if you want to see the rose in more detail (highly recommended.) I've made over 20 different roses and just need to finish making the cards for them. This was the first rose I made using plain old H20 and reinkers. All of the products are SU. The stamp set is Fifth Avenue Floral. I will try and post a tutorial over the coming weekend. I saw these on the internet, but I apologize because I can't seem to remember whose blog it was. Thank you for looking and leaving your comments.

Colorado Summer

Thought you might appreciate this picture of the Colorado River. I took my boys to Denver on Tuesday to put them on an airplane to Corpus Christi. They will be at Camp Stewart for a month. Hopefully, when I stop crying, I'll be able to spend some time in my stamp room. I took this picture at a gas station in Vail on our way to Denver. Have a great day!

Michael's Teacher Gift

Nothing like waiting until the last minute....tomorrow is the last day of school for my 3rd grader, Michael. As soon as I got home tonight, off I went to my little craft room to attempt some last minute creativity. The school colors are red and white, but I took the liberty of changing them to very vanilla and real red to match the SU designer paper. The stamp is from Close to My Heart and the remainder of the supplies are Stampin' Up. I used my new set of nestabilities that I received in the mail last week. This is a large paper clip I purchased at Hobby Lobby over a year ago:I purchased this little notebook in the $1 section of Michaels a couple of weeks ago:I'm not one to alter things as I struggle with this part of stamping, but these were easy. The last part of the gift is four note cards for Charla:I sure hope she enjoys these. Thank you for looking and leaving your comments. Have a great day!

Grad Card

My next door neighbors' daughter, Billie, graduated on Saturday from Glenwood Springs High School. The school colors are red, white and black, so I whipped up this little card to attach to her gift. I embossed the images in black, added rhinestones, made a bow and "voila" a card is born. The inside has the quote "Go confidentely in the direction of your dreams." Hope you like the card and have a great day!
