FS218 Becky

A card for the Featured Stamper at Splitcoast this week. Congrats to Becky Spinks for being the FS today! Here is Becky's card that I chose to case.

Here is my story and I am sticking to it... I tried and tried to merge this stamp with the stamp called Garden Fence (both Meljen Design stamps) on my PSE last night, uurrggg! I can not use that program, so I looked up tutorials on youtube, one had no sounds and the lady whipped thru there so fast there was no way to follow her! When you are older like me and the screen is not as large as your computer screen, well let me just say that was a worthless waste of time. I am aging and need a magnifing glass to see... LMBO Oh well, so this morning after attempting again and did get two layers on the screen they just didn't blend together and mask the way the should I finally gave up and used just the bird house image. It took me longer to try to figure all that out than to make the whole card!

So I would love love love to hear from anyone that can point me in the direction that I should go to, to find help on this very perplexing problem that I have with PSE. (I am running an older version 7.0 and until I can run it partially don't really want to spend money to get newer version.)


Copics used for this project were: E33, 25, C3, 5, Y11, 19, 21, BV00, 02, V04, B0000, 21, 34,and YG03

As always thanks for stopping by and have a spectacular day!

FS215 Mary Beth/Whipper Snapper

This is a card for the Featured Stamper at Splitcoast stampers, Mary Beth was the FS for the day. I chose to CASE this card. This cute little Lady Bug (colored strangely I know) is from Whipper Snapper stamps. It is such a cute image. Hope you enjoy it!

Stampin' Day today!

Wow, it has been so long since I have stamped or posted anything. I am so excited I stamped some Thank You cards that were simple but yet I think they will do the trick. They are made with Nice and Easy Notes from Stampin' Up and I used copics to color them. The colors are E Eggplant, O Olive and S Sun. These are to give to people that helped us on Saturday with our Company Picnic. We had a great day, Dan (DH) and I sold shaved ice at the event also it was a blast. There were approx. 450 people who came and we planned games for the adults and children. Our business has been just crazy this summer, it has been sunny and hot so a nice cold shaved ice goes down pretty well. Then about a month ago we added coffee and blended drinks, such as blended coffees, smoothies and Tea based smoothies. They have really been doing well. Our town has the largest free concert in the state, at the end of July, this place was hopping. It has been nice being so busy this summer, but we are also looking forward to late fall for some time off. Working full time along with running the business on the weekends has been a real adjustment for me. I even took a vacation day today, just to have a day off. It has been wonderful!
