Halloween Heidi

Meet Heidi everyone she is a Victoria Case Design Digi Stamp I purchased recently, I love halloween and wanted to make this one as such. I thought she was awfully cute looks like the St. Pauli girl (I don't even drink but know this). Anyway I used copics to color her in and the word background and sentiment is a house mouse stamp. I hope you like her!

Spooktacular Halloween

Happy Monday everyone! This card was inspired by a stamp I bought years ago when stamping was just a want to thing for me. In other words I didn't stamp but loved this Northwoods Rubber stamp. I bought it at a store that was right down the street from my home called Craft Mart in Chandler AZ. The store was just like a Hobby Lobby, I loved it and it has since closed unfortunely. I believe this is the first real card I have made with this stamp, I bought it used as the gave classes there. They also sold a lot of Whipper Snapper stamps which are fairly hard to find in stores. Anyway hope you all like the card and have a spooktacular halloween!

Sitting Tilda for Fall

Happy Wednesday everyone, hope this finds everyone working hard on their challenges and cards. I just love fall and decided to make this Tilda a fall one by adding the SU Fall harvest pumpkins to it. I purchased her from 7 Kids College fund. I made the card and it didn't have the ribbon, leaves etc. on it and so I added them afterward. I have a mental block when it comes to these things, I don't know why this is but it drives me crazy. I am a horder and maybe that is why? Anyway they got some use in todays card. Have a great week everyone!

Father in Laws Birthday Card

This card is for my Father in Law (Raymond Bunner) Birthday, I thought it would be cute because he and my Mother in Law deliver newspapers, so my thought was he forgot to put on his pants because he was in such a hurry and didn't drink his two cups of coffee today! Since he is aging some I also thought it was funny that way too. Hope you all find this as humerous as I did and really hope he does! Yikes.... Have a great day!

I know this one is a little risque but, I just had to have it for some one special. I will not name the person in case she reads my blog.... We are having our first snow day here and I am closed on Tuesday and Wednesdays so I went to check out Victoria Case for the Digi stamps they carry and found this jewel, I also bought Heidi who looks like the St. Pauli girl. If you are looking for a guy stamp, and don't want the normal fishing etc. check these out. These digi stamps are nice because you can print them and get them now, I am a very impatient person and don't like waiting for the mail to come with my new stamps always so this is a great solution to that. The other nice thing about these is you can adjust the size to your needs. Anyway hope you enjoy her.

Coffee Card for our Supplier

I made this card for our coffee suppliers out of Salt Lake City, we are going to pick up some things tomorrow and they are great to work with. This card was made with the espressoly for you set from Stampin'Up and the Gelatins set for the sentiment. The colors are some that I saw on another card from notimetostamp.

Sending this to my darling daughter who has been feeling a little under the weather, she has bronchitis and a ear infection. Thought that this may cheer her up. I spoke with her today and I believe she is on the mend and probably just got it today. I love the image, it is so fun to color in.

Bewitching

Good Morning All! Hope you are all having a wonderful day, I had some time yesterday and today to do a few cards. This is a Digi stamp by Sassy Studio Designs. She just looked fun for my kids and our son in laws (Geoff Rivas) birthday is in October so I thought it might be a fun one for him. I colored her with copics and covered most of her with stickles, using black for the hat and boots. Hope you like her.

Hello again!

Hi everyone, I realize I have been MIA for sometime now but I have opened a business and it is consuming much of my time. Which of course it should.... :) I opened a small coffee shop back in May and we are doing so well. Our little town is such a great place to live and have something like this in. We have some really fantastic people here and I am very grateful to all of them. I will try to post some pictures of it soon. Anyway I have had a chance recently to do a few stamping projects and thought I would upload them.
The checkbook covers are so fun and easy if you haven't tried one yet you may want to. I purchased my covers online from American Kelco. I have made these before and my Mother's finally wore out. She asked me if I would make her a new one so hers is the flowered one. I of course have the coffee one!

This card is for my nephew Logan Cook for his birthday. He lives in Arizona so probably doesn't really get to see many frogs but if he could I bet he would be out there catching them! He is such a cutie I really thought this little guy was perfect for him.
The checkbook cover with the flowers are of course stampin' up and the coffee themed one is a Paper company studio clear stamp set I got at JoAnn's then the little guy with the frog is High Hopes. Hope you are enjoying the last of your summer as I am.
Not really ready for winter to set in just yet :(.
Have a great week everyone.

Another Birthday card

This card is for my youngest sister (Kandace Gage), our April is kind of crazy. My daughter and my sister in law are both the 17th, my little sister is the 18th and oldest brother is the 19th then on the 21st is my nephew's birthday. I have a hard time keeping up with all of them truly.... Anyway another RAK from Linda here, isn't she adorable? She even reminds me of my little sister less the wings! Haha Have a great week hope to post again soon!

Happy Birthday Danielle!

A card I made for my darling daughter (Danielle Rivas) she turns 27 on the 17th. This was made with another one of those darling magnolia that Linda sent me. I must get some of these and saw that 7 Kids college fund is carrying them now. I will be buying some for sure! I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted, so now I need to pick up the pace right? I am thinking soon I will have more time.... XX Crossing my fingers!

Cleaning Lady

I made this card for Lynn a friend of mine whose sister Kathy is losing her cleaning lady. Lynn thought that this image was perfect and I so agree! Hopefully she will be able to work with her vacuum better than this gal (hehe). I colored her with copics and made the flower with the dp(imaginisce)paper and my SU flower punch. Hope you like it!

Ding cookies are done!

Yay the cookies got all done, we ended up making over 2800 cookies and candy. There are 220 boxes total, they are in two rows at least. Thankfully my Sister helped us out with it! Wow it was fun but it was hard on the feet standing so much here is a picture of what all the boxes looked like when they were completed. The event was a total sucess from my understanding.



I got a new stamp!! This is the Fisherman from Dog Gone Stamps, is he a dream or what? I just love the detail in him and I don't even fish.... Reminds me so much of going to Alaska though. He is colored with copics and the DP is BG two scoops. Hope everyone is having a great weekend and ready for Monday.

Got Dust Bunnies? I do!

Hi everyone, what a crazy weekend. This is the first chance I got to post because yesterday DH and I baked over 1,000 cookies! On top of that we made sugared pecans and coconut haystacks for 200 people. We used a commercial kitchen at the new Event Center and it is so quick. We barely got 5 trays which held 10 dozen cookies (2 dozen per tray) put in and couldn't keep up with making the trays to get them in that fast! I thought I probably looked like Lucy trying to keep up with the candy episode, minus being skinny and redheaded. LOL It was so much work but so fun.

Anyway this is a Whipper Snapper image called Dust Bunny collector, I just felt the need to have her but then what is new right? I have dust bunnies, I am sure you are all just gasping in amazement but it is true.... :( I just don't have time for cleaning as much as I should and with wood floors in much of the house what can I say.

I just got these nesties today from 7 Kids College fund. They have so many things and are soon adding Magnolia's too! My punch is the Eyelet border punch from SU, all the papers are imaginisce. I used copics (from 7 kids college fund also) to color her colors E02, E00, E33, RV11, RV19 and C3.
