Dog Day's of Summer

Happy Saturday. It's a rainy day here in the Northeast. A good day to stay inside and stamp. My vacation is over tomorrow and I am looking at the list of all the things I wanted to get done this week. I didn't get a lot off the list. Oh well...Vacations are for rest and relaxation, not to do lists. One of the things on my list was to make some progress on my XMAS cards. I did get some of that done. By the end of the weekend I hope to get all the coloring done. I see that moving to the top of the list.

This is a Whippersnapper stamp I bought a while ago. Now that Summer is winding down I was looking through my stamps to see what reminded me of Summer to use before I move on to Fall stamps. This was one that I wanted to use. I love the simplicity of the stamp. It was fun to color but I'm not sure I love the card. I don't know why though.

I have another Summer card I am working on and then I will be all about the leaves. I'm ready for Fall. I'm ready to use the golden yellow, red and orange copics.

I hope everyone has a good weekend. Thanks for coming by.

Happy Wednesday!

My good friend Michelle and I borrowed some stamps from each other about a month ago. This is one of hers that I wanted to stamp. It is from Whippersnapper. I colored it and thought the Garden Hat I ordered from High Hopes might look good with it so I didn't make a card at that time. I brought it with me this weekend. Sunday AM I was up really early and I was really tired so I didn't want to tempt fate and stamp/color anything before the coffee was ready and I had finished my first cup. I went through the images I brought with me already colored and decided this one really had been hanging around long enough. I am glad I held on it it. I think the Hat really adds alot to the card and goes well with the wild flowers.

The DP is some of my favorite paper. I normally wouldn't pick something so fancy for this stamp but it just seemed to go with it. I really liked the way it came out. I thought about giving this to my Mother for Mothers day but I didn't have a Happy Mothers Day stamp that would fit.

Thanks for coming by on day 3. I hope you like the card.

I hope everyone is having a good Saturday. I went to visit my sister and then we went to lunch with her daughter. It was fun. Now I'm back home to get the boring stuff done like laundry, dusting etc. The nice thing is that is is sunny and kindof warm here - 58 degrees! I have my door open and it is really nice to have some fresh air in the house. I only have a small patch of snow left on the ground. I am so happy to see it gone.

I made this card for Kerry's Birthday Challenge. My friend Michelle lent me some of her Whipper Snapper stamps and 2 were Birthday stamps so it was perfect. Kerry wanted the card to be purple (not a problem) and it has to have Glitter on it (again, no problem!).

I hope you like the card. I had alot of fun making this one.

Thank you Kristen for asking me to participate in Mary Jo's sketch challenge. I loved the sketch and had alot of fun making the card. I can't wait to see the next one. There are alot of talented ladies participating in these challenges. I suggest you check out Mary Jo's blog to see how everyone else interpreted the sketch. Thanks to Mary Jo for hosting these and letting me participate.

I started this card Wednesday. I was trying to figure out what stamp to use while I was watching it snow outside. I decided that I wanted to Think Spring, not Winter. This is a new Whipper Snapper stamp I had received recently. I thought a Frog dressed in a coat that looked like a ladybug expressed my feelings perfectly. Isn't he cute! My memento ink pad needs to be re-inked and I currently don't have a re-inker for it and I wanted the color to be dark black so I embossed. Unfortunetly this means I could not use copics to color. I colored the Coat with Red and blue shimmerz but didn't have the right colors for the rest. Going through my stash of supplies I found some glitter markers for the frog and shoes.

I went through every piece of Red DP I had and none of it matched the SU Real Red so I went with the simple white background with a cuttlebug folder. I think I need to carry a piece of Real Red CS with me so I can match it up when I go to my LSS.

I hope you enjoy the card as much as I enjoyed making it. Happy Friday everyone!!!

Friends

While it was snowing on Sunday I decided to play with one of my new Whipper Snapper stamps. I really like these little guys. I decided to finish the card at lunch today instead of eating. I look at it as a card making diet. Of course I'll eat everything in site tonight. Oh well, I got the card done! Isn't that the important thing!

I thought the saying was appropriate being inauguration day. It's also one of my favorites from a CTMH set.

Well I only have a couple minutes to post before my next meeting so I'll keep this short. I hope you like these guys as much as I do.
