Swell News!

A friend of mine is having a baby and I made this card for her. I love the swell news stamp set and I also love the tall cards a lot! This one measures 8" by 8 1/4". I used a tempting turquoise brad to hold the fold down and also put some stickles on it (if you click on it to make it larger, I think you will be able to see the stickles). I used my prismacolor pencils to color the "gift bag" at the bottom. I put random stickles all over the dots in the card stock. I took a picture of the tag that pulls out so that you can see what I put on it.

I sponged the tag with old olive and tempting turquoise ink and then used my prismacolor pencils to color in the pregnant lady. I also added some stickles to her hair just for that bit of extra sparkle! I worked on this last night and the night before. I had to make it twice because it just didn't come out like I wanted it to. Well hope you all have had a great weekend and happy stamping!

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.
