Amazing Paper Grace

I try to post as much as possible but I don’t always make it every day.  You may have noticed no posts!!!  Yes, I was missing,(sigh)  I had a brief stay in the hospital that was quite unexpected.  I got back home tonite, but was told I have about three days of bedrest and a […]

Some times simple things are the order of the day.  I wanted to make a simple card and I’m falling in love again with my neglected Cuttlebug backgrounds.   This card fit the bill for me…of all the cards I’ve made since I began blogging, this one was completed the quickest.    The flowers were colored with […]

Woohoo, I love challenges but have not been able to participate in many.  Today I was able to work on Mojo Monday #42 - the sketch is absolutely awesome and I did not want to miss it.  Mojo Monday is hosted at Poetic Artistry and you can see more details about this weekly sketch challenge […]

All dressed up and nowhere to go!   That was me last night….I had a card ready, a card that I actually liked and no way to get it posted.  We had severe thunderstorms so my internet was out.  Not only that, my cable TV was out too.  So much for a back up plan, […]

I hope yours was a glorious day, mine certainly was.  It was just a day that everything clicked - I got so much done around the house.  Today I got around to pulling out a new stamp set that hasn’t laid around for years and years - so I’m assuming it’s pretty current.  The stamp […]

 
Sorry to be so brief…I only had a short time to stamp, so I pulled this together quickly.  This card is 8½ x 4 and will fit into a business sized envelope.  The top of the card was rounded with the Curvy Cutter Circle Cutting tool and was colored with Copics.

Supplies:
Stamps:  Angel - Stamp City […]

As many of you know, I have a few stamps…my motto is, you can never have enough.  I buy all kinds of stamps and am a regular with Stampin Up, Close to My Heart, Papertrey and a host of others.  Well, I belong to a hostess club for Close To My Heart and this month […]

Well now that I have the majority of my die cuts catalogued and where I can get to them, I’ve promised myself that I’ll use them more.  This was a simple card and I pulled the Sizzix clock to use as the cut out background for the owl.  This is my first owl by the […]

I wanted to share a couple of pictures with you so that you can see one of the tasks we finished during my mothers visit.  In fact, she did quite a bit of the work.  I have quite a few of the original sizzix die cuts - you know, the bulky ones - and because […]

 
I have wanted to use this stamp for some time, but didn’t want it to be too plain by just stamping in black.  I was pleased with the effect of the white embossing powder and it really popped after sponging on SU Close to Cocoa and Chocolate Chip.  Did you notice no DP and no […]

In March, I decided to participate in the Divine Design Challenge which you can search for on Splitcoaststampers under keyword BVC08.  It is a Bible Verse Challenge where many stampers have made a commitment to offer a card on the 8th of each month that includes scripture that has special meaning to them.  […]

 
I needed to pull together a small card to swap with someone at our Stamp Club Meeting tomorrow morning.  I just received my long rectangle Nesties so I thought I would put them to use.  This was simple and quick so my post is very brief. 

Supplies:
Stamps:  Stampendous
Inks:  Black Brilliance
Paper:  Bazzill
Accessories:  Copics; Ribbon
Have a wonderful weekend […]

I love all colors but there are several I always come home to - you have no doubt taken note of the ones you see again and again.  Although I’m a true pink connaisseur, the brutal truth is that I love blue and green; I unconsciously pick them when I’m doing a card.  In fact, […]

How wonderful is it to go away from a week to come back and find a sweet, sweet blogger has given me an award!  Oh yeah, that’s so cool in my book.  
Charlene at Willow and Paisley was so very kind.  So often she leaves me the coolest comments that make me smile.  Lo and […]

Oh……my……goodness, how long is too long?  I’ll tell ya, eight days without my blog is too long!!  I pined away for the daily list of blogs I read and being able to post to mine.   I am so doing the happy dance to be back, and with a quick card too!
This card is all about […]
