Over the Top

Why do you buy your clothes? In the last six months to a year, I find myself buying tops to please a friend. Doesn't that seem silly? But I have an aging friend WilloDean who enjoys anything "sparkly." She has Dementia, and even when nothing else sparks her, the shiny does it! More often than not, she'll ask me if she made it. I of course agree and tell her she did a beautiful job.

A closing somber thought, I was heartbroken to hear of the tragic news that Steven Curtis Chapman lost his daughter. I'll keep him and his family in my prayers, praying that the God of all comfort tends to them in this exceptionally difficult situation.

Tart & Tangy

Just a small set for a coworkers birthday. Pretty much the usual as you've seen on other blogs.

All SU: Tart and Tangy, Summer Picnic Designer Paper.

Sara with Glitter

There's something about the Rubber Romance stamps that calls for Diamond Dust and glitter! Mostly SU: Brillant Blue, Real Red and Chocolate Chip with grosgrain ribbon. Diamond Dust and red glitter.

Pieces

Have you ever made a card literally piece by piece / day by day? I bought this cute PENNY BLACK stamp before Easter. Stamped it weeks ago in black, colored much like stamp was colored on the wooden block. Ruined the bird so I cut it off with my Craft Lite Cutter. Mounted on a Pixie Pink piece ~ cuttle bugged. Used the ever popular SU polka dot background stamp on Gable Green with the SMILE stamp from the Dare to be Darling set.

Piece together a great Tuesday!

What's not to love about the "bug"?

My friend recently bought a cute VW bug. When I came across this stamp set, it seemed impossible not to buy it. This card was so much fun to make! (I might keep it and start her "set" all over again!)

Stamp sets: Sometimes You're the Bug and Heaven Bound from Clear Dollar Stamps www.cdstamps.com SU:Markers Basic Black, Real Red, Creamy Caramel, Bordering Blue, Pumpkin Pie, and Summer Sun. Paper: Whisper White, Close to Cocoa and Real Red.

Color Challenge # 8

I shoulda been making some more Mother's Day cards. I coulda been working on birthdays and thank yous. But I wanted to do the new KWerner color challenge so ~ tada. What do you think? SU:WILD ABOUT YOU set, Jersey Shore paper, Scallop punch, and Striped Grosgrain ribbon.

Mother's Day

This is the card I ended up making for my Mom. The colors match the wrapping of the gift. I bought the ALL HOLIDAYS stamp set, it came in the box but mysteriously enough, I've misplaced the entire set. So I used a sentiment from the ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS set. My mom is fab but I don't think she reads the blog so it's ok to post it as I mail it.

SU: BIG FLOWERS and LITTLE FLOWERS

Tempting Turquoise, Pixie Pink and Gable Green
