two posts in one day- wow! ;)

My ds is home sick today, so while he has been resting, I finished up a LO that I started last night.  If you're a facebook friend of mine, you know the story of the lost photo. If you aren't, it's a quick story:  a photo flew off the page while I was working on it, and it hasn't been seen since.  I've looked everywhere.  It mysteriously vanished into thin air.  Then this a.m. I realized that during the search, my cardstock got knocked into a SU! ink spot and bled on it.  I love my ink spots, but the lids do not stay on well.  Luckily, I was able to camouflage it.  What should have been an easy, quick LO, turned into quite the little scrapbooking drama.  lol!

 Using mostly stuff from a scrapbook circle kit(s?)....... I'm done!

crazy4daisies birthday wishes

more fun with my The Stamps of Life stamps and dies.  Crazy4daisies rubber stamp set and matching dies.  Birthday wishes stamp from the Spinner stamp set, and coordinating paper buttons from the newly released button dies.  I added some word stickers I had in my stash....

TFL!  :) 

hello

My crafty space has really been neglected these days.... but I made a card last night!  I created this card using a Lawn Fawn Stitched Journaling card die.  Then I used the following dies by The Stamps of Life:  mini flowers, mini buttons, and hello from the notebook edge and hello set.  The flower leaves is green washi tape that I cut.  To go with the stitch and button theme, I stitched on the hello.  :)  I got the paper in a scrapbooking kit, and you know me, I have no idea who makes it.. it's pretty though. 

 

TFL!!  :)

ohmygosh!  After my break and blah blah... I was going to concentrate more on scrapbooking; however, then I joined the Stamps of Life die hard stamp club and I'm back to making cards.  I love making cards, but I have sooooo many cards!  lol! Man, this new club is going to be expensive, too, if I can't control myself... so many fun stamps and dies and she just keeps releasing more and more. ha!  Anyyyyyway..........  the March stamp of the month is Crazy4daisies, which is super cute.

 

I created this glitter window card using the large daisy die to cut the window.  Happy Day and the little daisy stamps are from that set.  The Good Life pin is October Afternoon.   Here is the card flat...

 and inside.  glitter windows are easy to make if you haven't done one.  Cut a piece of clear contact paper and place it over the window part sticky side out, then lightly sprinkle glitter on it (and helps to rub it in).  Easy peasy. 

 Next up, I used the circle #2 flip it card die again. I'm going to get my monies worth out if!  lol!  I stamped each daisy.  That's not paper piecing, the set comes with that cute polka dot pattern that fits right in the petal. :)  Closed card...

 and open...  

TFL!! Have a happy day!!  :)

Happy Birthday, Pop!

Today is my Dad's birthday!  I made him this card using the popcorn stamp set by Stamps of Life (and the dies to go with it).  I just had to have this set.  It's so cute and popcorn is one of my very favorite foods!  I stamped and die cut all the popcorn and crinkled them to give them more of a popcorn look. :)

 

 Inside I used dies from Stamps of life as well; the two sentiments in the shapes are from the Stamps of Life Spinner set, and POP is from the popcorn set.  Someone posted a card at the SofL gallery that said Hello, Pop! and made me laugh which is how I came up with this birthday to my Pop (but I don't ever call him that. lol!!)...

 

Hope he likes it.  It was fun to make.  :)  TFL!

circle flip it (#2) card....

I absolutely LOVE this framelit flip it card die (Stephanie Barnard Stamps of Life).  It cuts and scores!  So quick and easy to create this sweet card.  No measuring, which if you know me at all, know I despise measuring things! I also just bought from Stamps of Life, the new mini flowers die set.  So cute!  All the little flowers I wanted/needed in the colors to match my paper selection.  :)  Stamps are also Stamps of Life.
