No Peeking

Today's card is a case of this gorgeous card :)

I changed the sentiment part, and Julie used markers to colour the different parts of her penguin, but I took the easy way out and paper pieced!

That penguin sure is cute!

Thanks for stopping by!

Pennant Parade Christmas

I know I haven't popped in here for ages, but I have a good excuse!  We finally moved into our new house!  It's lovely to have our own space again, and I am in love with my stamping room!

Anyways....today I am sharing my April Christmas cards for the Christmas Card Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  

.....I kept the inside very simple too.....

Almost caught up now.....but I don't like my chances of getting my 10 May cards done by the end of today! Not to worry, there's always next week :)

Thanks for stopping by.

The Open Sea meets Cherry Cobbler

I love the simplicity of this.  Here's the inside:

An Open Sea Reject

When I saw this card over on the Pretty Impact blog I fell in love with it!  I just knew I had to case it......but it all went downhill from there :(

I was happily stamping away, thinking how much my regular ladies were going to love doing this card in with their nautical cards.....and then I didn't have any of that lovely Soft Suede Taffeta Ribbon.  I substituted it with Marina Mist Striped Grosgrain Ribbon......and here is the result:

No where near as gorgeous as the original :(  The more I look at it, the more I don't like it.  Here's the inside:

Sorry Deb, I will bring it to show you all, but this is NOT one of the cards we will be making on Monday :)

Clean and Simple 149

I tried to pop this card up last night, but Blogger was playing funny buggers and wouldn't let me :(  Fingers crossed that it will work for me tonight.

I created this card using the latest sketch challenge over at Clean and Simple Stamping.  

I really wasn't sure about the banner part at first, but it is growing on me!  And that owl is just too cute!  I wonder why I never used him before???

I kept the inside of my card super simple, but I love it :)

Butterfly Easel Card

Bronwyn Eastley over at addINKtive designs shared a beautiful bunch of Easel Cards with us a couple of UStamp sessions ago, and I finally got around to making one.  Isn't it just gorgeous?

Here's the front view:

The photo does not do it justice!  It was so easy to make, and will be featured in my upcoming Easel Card class.  I know why Bronwyn has made a million of these cards, they are so much fun!

Fifth Avenue Floral Card Purse

Don't even ask what is going on here!  Work is flat out, and Dylan and I have been at home with the flu for the past week, so NOTHING is getting done :-(  No housework, no work, and - most importantly - no stamping :-(  Hopefully we are at the tail end of it, and can get back to normal soon.

Anyways, today I want to share the card purse and cards we made at my last workshop.  The ladies made 2 of each of the cards to go inside the purse.  

The tutorial for this card purse was on UStamp a while ago now.  It's really easy to make, and looks fantastic!

I love the simplicity of this card.  I am so in love with this stamp set!
