Mother's Day Card

This is the card I made for my Mom for Mother's Day.  The idea came from the 09-10 IB&C. I just changed a few minor things.  Originally I was using this card for the two-step in my stamp class, but no one signed up, so I went ahead with this for my mom.  I found the two-step stampin harder than I thought it would be, but I'm finally getting the hang of it.

Baby Shower

Hi everyone!  Brian's cousin Charlotte is expecting her first baby and the shower is this coming weekend.  I made this card to go with our gift.  The stamps and wheel are retired (I don't have the name of the wheel), but I thought I would post it anyways.  I used the Cottage Wall DSP along with matching colors with the DSP.  My ink was Rich Razzleberry as was the bottom layer of paper.  Hope you like it : ))

Short and Sweet

In the 09-10 Catalog, they show this notecard with Soft Suede DSP.  I wanted to spice it up a bit so I used Razzleberry Lemonade DSP and paper instead. I think the pre-done plain cards are a great idea, ecspecially when you need a card fast. I really like how it came out.

Happy Birthday Card

I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything new.  I'm in a bit of a computer funk (it may be called laziness) where I don't feel like even logging on.  My oldest daughter went in for chemo this weekend and I never even brought my laptop (which is typically unheard of). 
Anyways.....I absolutely love this card and have been dying to share it but I had others I finished before this one that I wanted to post first.  So, I hope you all like it.  I've been searching for a fun birthday card that I can use for just about anyone and I think I got it right with this one.  I'm not sure where I saw the color combo for the paper, but I'm pretty sure it was on SU! Gallery (sorry I didn't save the site).

Cottage Wall 'A Note of Thanks'

I am so glad that I chose this hostest set from the catalog.  It didn't do much for me to see it as a stamp, but once I started doing some searching to see how other people used it, I was really impressed.  I'm sad that it's going to be retired next month and I won't be able to demo it.  But, I will still use it for the cards that I'm going to sell at craft shows. I liked the layout of this card so I CASED it and switched it up a bit.

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.
