Baroque Motifs and Blog Candy....

I made a card for one of the doctors that works with Mike. They are getting out of the Air Force and opening a dentist's office in San Antonio. So I am going to make them some just moved cards to send to people.I used some of the ribbon I got from a ribbon share that I signed up for. It was a May Arts ribbon share that Jody did about a month ago. I finally used it and I think it turned out looking pretty dang good! The colors were perfect. Well I am going to hit 5,000 hits soon and will be giving away some blog candy. So stay tuned and happy stamping!

And A Frame For You Too...

I also made a frame for you last night Cathy. I thought you could use one for your living room or somewhere. I used the Baroque Motifs stamp set that I got a couple of weeks ago.Let me know what you think and I will talk to you later. Hope everybody has had a great weekend and happy stamping!

I Am Really Starting to Like This Stamp Set...

I made another card with my Baroque Motifs stamp set. I love the way it turned out. You can see for your self how it turned out.

I used my ghosting technique when I made the main image. If you can see from the picture, it kinda pops out at you and I love it.Here is a close up of how it looks. I know my card is a bit busy, but I am quite pleased with it. On another note, I love all the wonderful comments that I have been getting! They have been very inspiring and I just want to let you all know how much I appreciate them. Keep on telling me what you think and maybe I will offer up some blog goodies sometime in the near future!!! So keep your eyes peeled and happy stamping!!!

On the Brighter Side of Things...

I did make some really cute cards. I made a card for my husband's birthday tomorrow. He will be 21 and I thought I would make a special card for his special day. I am actually very pleased with the way it turned out. But first...I made this last night before I made his birthday card. I needed some inspiration so I made it as kinda a pre-birthday card card. This is the card that I made for my husband for his birthday. I used a technique that I made up while I was making this card (I don't know if any of you have already used it, but I am going to call it my own until somebody tells me that it is theirs) All you have to do is stamp your base image and then stamp over it in whisper white craft ink. It gives it a kinda 3-D effect. I think I will call it ghosting. I think I got out of my stamping slump...finally! Happy stamping!

Bad Cards....

After a slew of bad migraines and quite frankly bad cards, I have just about had it with everything! Well not everything...I still like all of you! Anyhow I made a few cards the other day and it seems to me that my groove is kinda...well...off. I wasn't going to show you all what I made, but thought I should because you should show people that you don't always make lovely things. Here is terrible card #1.It just wasn't what I had envisioned. I was just hoping for something more than what the end result was. I was very upset with what had turned out. Or should I say what didn't turn out. Now this card was just down right BAD. I don't know what was going through my head when I made it, but whatever it was it was ugly!!! Well hope everybody else had a productive stamping weekend. Happy stamping!
