Some Cards for ME!

I am a card hoarder! I confess...it started about three years ago (I knew about SU! since high school, but got into it in 2004) and haven't stopped since. When I first layed my hands upon that holy book (not as holy as the bible, although), I couldn't stop looking and I knew that I had found the perfect stamp company and I haven't looked back since.

I went to a crop at my friends house to scrapbook Friday and Saturday night. It was wonderful...peace and quiet, no kids, no dirty house to worry about and so on and so forth...you get the picture. I was supposed to be working on my scrapbook pages of Molly and Caleb, but I really really wanted to make cards. I made the ones in the previous post for somebody else and decided that I needed some new ones for myself. How greedy is that? I know, I am shameful *sighs*. It is an addiction and I just can't help myself.

My husband said to me the other day, "why can't you be like other women and want clothes or purses?" I replied to him, "why do I need clothes when I have stamps? If I could, I would tape stamps to myself and wear them as clothes!" I am sure you can guess what he said about that..he went on and on about how he didn't want any other men looking at me and well you know the rest. I think I have rambled on just about enough so here is what I made for ME!
I just love the petals and paisley DS paper and of course I have to use every single scrap of it. The green P&P DS paper reminds me of a place where you can find bugs. Don't ask me why, but I guess to me it looks kinda like Stampin' Up!'s version of a fancy jungle.I used Pretty in Pink and Barely Banana card stock for this card. I love the way the white organdy looks with this stamp set. I used the smooshing effect from Emily's blog. I just love looking at new stuff that she does...she is so creative. I love the way the banana looks with the pink cs.

Well It is getting kinda late (and my husband is glaring at me for keeping him up so late..yes he's one of those who won't go to bed without me, but I love him and think he is absolutely wonderful!) and I think you are probably sick of hearing me ramble so I will say, "Goodnight and happy stamping!"

My own version of a RAK

I go to a spin class with my neighbor and we absolutely love our instructor (not in that way). He is the nicest and most positive person I have ever met. He told us that he loved hand made cards and so I decided to make some for him. I wanted them to be kinda manly so they are a bit different then I usually make. So far I have only made him four. In a way I guess you can say I am doing a RAK (random act of kindness).

I made a buckle card for this one. I think bugs are a guy thing and I thought it would be a little bit of a fun card to make. Of course I had to use my sponges.

I always did like the Like it a Latte stamp set and I didn't think I over did it with the girly frills. I had to think simple.

I found the idea for the rounded card off of somebody else's blog (although I can't remember whose or I would give credit to them). I thought it was a cute idea for a card. It didn't quite turn out like I had planned it to. It is too simple and I feel it needs something else.
Finally, I made him a masculine Roses in Winter card. I, of course, sponged on this card. I know it looks over done for a masculine card, but I couldn't help myself. I had to add the ribbon. It was the perfect touch to this card. I just love this stamp set. I think it is one of my favorites.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!

I finally started to work on my stamp camp projects. I'm not finished yet, but here are a couple of cards that I made today. I am going to be making a coaster box to go with it and a couple of other things, but here is what I made so far.

I know this is kinda a weird color scheme, but I really like it. I just got this stamp set Friday with a bunch of other new stuff (what I got for V-day-yeah). Anyhow it isn't anything special because I am going to have a few beginners coming.

I also got the Bugs and Kisses stamp set and made this pocket note with it. It says happy birthday on the inside.

This is also another simple pocket note. I used the Delight in Life stamp set.

I kinda borrowed this idea from you Marie. I just couldn't think of anything to make with this stamp set. Thanks for this idea. I finally bought some aqua painters. I already had water color wonder crayons. I just used a paintbrush before. I think it looks better when I used the aqua painters.

I like the Happy Harmony stamp set a bunch. I also got this idea from you, Marie. I just couldn't think of anything to do. I was having like a stampers block. After I made them, I made my own ideas and I am going to use them at my stamp camp.
