Green Thumb Love

Oh I am in love with the Green Thumb set from Papertrey Ink already and this was the first and only card I made with it yet! Also I recieved the Aqua Mist and the Spring Moss exclusive PTI Palette Inks and must I say...WOW. They have fabulous coverage they are not to squishy and the stamping outcoe is clean & crisp! I will be adding some more colors to my cart as soon as I can!

For this card I used the 2 new colors (Feb release) to stamp the flower thingies?? Not sure what they are...lol But they look purdy! Then I stamped the flower pot with my Burnt Umber cube (yeah I will be needed a full size and refill of that little baby) Look how smooth and clean it stamps. No blotchies! Then I cut two slits on either side of the flower pot and wrapped satin Aqua mist ribbon through and knotted it.

After I used my swiss dots CB embossing folder, which I was finally able to find locally thank goodness, I matted it on vanilla and added another stripe of satin ribbon. Then I stamped the thank you from the thank you berry much sentiment of green thumb (cubes are great for that) and I set it in a peice of my very first ever hodgepodge. Crap, now I think I need the other kinds too...LOL!

So that's it, pretty basic but still pretty! Any of you in love with the new hodgepodge???

Thanks for visiting....

Cupcake Challenge #9

I absolutely LOVED Taylor's Cupcake Challenge #9 from last week and now that my slump of card making is through I wanted to whip out my "Hey There Cupcake" set from Stampendous.

I also just recieved a new order from Stampin up (can you believe it had been more then a month since I ordered last?!?) Anyway, I ordered some Taken with Teal & more Chocolate Chip. So this is what I did with it. The ink colors are Burnt Umber & Aqua Mist (which I also recieved the other day) and I LOVE the Palette Inks! If you have not tried them out yet, I am telling you go now to PTI and toss them in your cart. (not that I am enabling you in anyway...NOW GO!!!) haha. The ribbon is the PTI Aqua Mist Wide Grosgrain....Love it!

Ok well That is all I am sharing for now but I will have another card coming up....all I have to say is Taken with Teal, Green Thumb & SU's Stylized Silver Hodge Podge!!

Have a Great Day!!!

Party, Pizza, Wii and a Card

So I actually made this card last week but wanted to give my faithful readers something to look at (after my rambling of course!!) I realize last week I went a little m.i.a. We had a pretty jam packed week end. We started with a dinner at my moms. 2 out of 3 of my brothers and their families and of course myself and McKayla, went to Mom's condo to do some swimming and then eat. After we ate my Nephew Darin (12) unpacked the Wii and we played some bowling. OMG!!! For the first time in my life I actually want a game system...Gotta have a Wii!!

So knowing that the next day was my Nephew Cale's birthday (6) we asked if they could bring the Wii again. So Sunday we had so much fun, we Wii'd, we ate cake & pizza, presents...you know the story. My favorite part was the Wii boxing. We let the kids go at it first. We lined up Cale (the birthday boy who is 6 and belongs to my 3rd Brother and his wife Diana) and he played against Newton (who is 5 and Diana's little brother) Anyways it was hilarious! Little Newton would punch, punch, punch and he would get closer and closer to the TV (which made Curtis and I nervous because it is expensive and fairly new..LOL). So we would grab Newton's belt loop and pull him back and he would punch his way up there again. He was like a live wind up toy!! LMBO!!! Best of all, my brother PJ got it all on video...look out You Tube!

Next we let the adults go at it...so Curtis and I stepped into the ring and knocked the **** out of each other. I would like to say that I did manage to knock him out twice, but overall he won. I tell you, I can see the Wii in every Marriage Councellors office very soon. Great therapy!!! LOL

Ok so enough of the boring stuff. Remeber in previous posts I have talked about my S-I-L that always calls me up with special requests? Well now my Brother (her husband) is doing it too. I am so excited that they like my cards enough to call me up and get one. My brother says down the road people will say "Dont get a hallmark, Grab a Jewels Card." LOL!! Have I ever mentioned that PJ is my favorite brother? LOL!!

His request was an elegant birthday card with flowers, blue & brown. Well!! It just so appens thes are my favorite things. SO this is what I did. I started with inspiration from Nichole's card seen >>here<<> I took bashful blue prints paper and layered it on chocolate chip and vellum piercing all around the edge. Next I stamped the large flower outline from PTI's beautiful Blooms onto vellum and on Dasiy Bucket papers. Then I cut them out, layered them over each other and added them to the first peice.

Next I layered creamy caramel over chocolate chip and cut the scalloped edges on the choc. chip. then I added two small streips and one large strip of the dsp. Pierced the creamy caramel to match (boy I can't wait until my mat stack arrives from SU tomorrow) A little touch of ribbon, a "Happy Birthday" stamp (which I believe is from PTI's Shapes By Design). As the final touch I took out my brand new bottle of liquid pearls (any cardmaker/scrapbooker MUST add this to the shopping list) and made the centers of my flowers and set it aside to dry.

I hope you have enjoyed my ramblings, My Wii adventures (did I mention that my arms are still sore 2 days later from the boxing???) AND.....don't Miss out on your chance to win some blog candy >>>HERE<<<

So did anyone get Pranked? April Fools??? I did! By my hubby. LMBO!!!
Anyway, Have a great day!
