Mom's Birthday Card

This was the card I made from us for my mom.  She loves the summer and the beach so I thought this stamp set would be a perfect theme for her birthday.  I used Soft Suede for my base and Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, and Tempting Turquoise for the mats.  For ink I used Soft Suede, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry, and Tempting Turquoise.  My idea was CASE'd (copy and share everything) from Julie Alberda here.  I think she has the cutest cards, ecspecially using this stamp set. Hope you like it!

Mom's Birthday Card

This was a very busy weekend for our family.  I had a couple last minute card orders from my family members for birthdays and graduation so I worked on those and then we had picnics and parties all weekend.  I played around with my photo program on the computer and made a watermark but I don't like how it looks so I decided to just use my personalized stamp as my watermark.  It's actually easier because I can just upload and go.  Easy!

I made this card for my mom to be given from my aunt.  I love this color combo and even though it's retired, I still love the Cottage Wall DSP.  I CASED the card from Wendy Janson here.  I think she did such an amazing job on the card that I wanted to share it with my mom.  I used three different stamp sets for this card......Birthday Bliss, Quick and Cute, and Tropical Party.  I hope you enjoy it!

Tropical Party For You

This card I CASED from here.  I love Stacey's cards and this, in particular, jumped out at me with her color combos.  Instead of using Bermuda Bay, I used Tempting Turquoise.  The paper is Island Oasis DSP, Razzleberry Lemonade DSP, and Soft Suede DSP.  The ink is Tempting Turquoise and Soft Suede.  The stamp set is Tropical Party from the Summer Mini and the sentiment is from All Holidays.  I hope you like it.

Island Oasis Scrap Pages

Last month I had a class for beginning scrapbooking (not really my thing, but I gave it a go anyways).  I had these pics of the little girls printed for some time and I have been wanting to use them.  When I first recieved my Island Oasis DSP I thought the colors went perfect with the pics, so my scrap tutorial was something I could end up keeping.  I haven't gotten around to journaling yet, but I will soon so I can add some more pages with my soon-to-be-retiring stamp set and paper : ((

Hope you enjoy!

Tropical Party

This is a fun card that I cased some of from SCS.  I changed some of the paper layout and the saying. I also finished off the inside of this one.  It can be used as just about any kind of card.  I'm thinking that if I do use it I may stamp 'Happy Birthday' on the inside for something to truly finish it off. I am, again, amazed with how versatile this stamp set is.

Father's Day Card

This is my hubby's Father's Day Card (hopefully he doesn't look at my blog any time soon). When I first bought the Tropical Party stamp set I wasn't sure I'd have alot of use for it since it was so "tropical".  But, it's really more versatile than it looks and I've found uses for it everywhere!
