Stamp-a-Stack Cards

I had a great time last night at my Stamp-a-Stack event. We made 5 cards of each of the following designs. It was so much fun. If you are in the area come by next time. *wink*

This card is my favorite. I love the double scallop on the bottom! The Snow Swirled set is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I was also able to use my new Classic Stripes background stamp. I used the Gelly Roll Glitter Pen on the snowflakes in the tree. *This looks better in person than in my photo*

Materials Used: SU Paper: Riding Hood Red, Old Olive, Kiwi Kiss, Whisper White; SU Ink: Riding Hood Red, Always Artichoke; SU Stamp Sets: Snow Swirled, Classic Stripes background stamp; Other: Gelly Roll Glitter Pen

This is the second card design. On this card I was able to use my other new background stamp, Sanded. I have been eyeing this one for a long time and finally broke down and bought it. I am so glad that I did! The 'merry christmas!' and tree stamp are from the very versatile Loads of Love Set. When I first got that stamp I cut the merry christmas! and the wishing you loads of holiday cheer! apart and double mounted it.

Moving Day

I really *Love* this color combo! A friend of mine recently moved & I thought this would be the perfect welcome to their new home. The layout is from SCS Sketch Challenge #166. I think if I were to do it again I would put the truck on a panel with borders. Overall I am happy with the finished product. I hope you like it too. As always Thanks for stopping by and feel free to leave your comments. I live for positive feedback. *wink*

Scallop Medallion

A few weeks ago Splitcoast had a tutorial on how to make a Scallop Edge Medallion. Seeing as how I already owned the Scallop Edge Punch I couldn't resist trying my hand at it. It worked very easily. It is nice to follow good instructions, so a Big Thank You to Alesha Walls for the great tutorial.

Ever see a technique and wonder how it was done? Well, chances are there is a tutorial at SCS to show you how. If you ever get some extra time on your hands I highly recommend checking out the Resource Pages at SCS.

As always, Thanks for checking in. I hope you enjoyed your visit. *wink*

Boys Fall

I just couldn't resist showing a couple of pictures of the boys playing outside last week.

Seth running with glee!

What could be more perfect than playing in leaves with your brother? Does anyone else get cuteness overload when looking at this picture?

Star of the week: Ethan

Ethan was star of the week last week at preschool. He got to bring Dumbo home with us last weekend (since he is in the Elephant class). We had a pretty casual weekend. Ethan & Dumbo played Legos, played outside and snuggled a lot.

Outside fun

Rockin' Out

Road Trip

What a fun weekend. *wink.
