Hi Friends,
Yeah, my computers are fixed! I am back on-line. Wow am I lost without my computer. I have both a lap-top and a desktop. Can you believe they both went out the same day! My laptop totally died and the desktop just wouldn't connect to the internet. Anyway, all fixed.
I have a share for you tonight. My friend and massage therapist came over tonight. She wanted to make a couple of stamped pieces to frame. So, we used Asian Artistry the new stamp set. We used Bermuda Bay and Barely Banana cardstock. Both are stamped in Versa Mark in and gold embossing powder. Colored with the new Bermuda Bay Marker. We also used the Big Shot and the Frame, Oval Scallop. Here our her prints: I hope you like them. I thought they came out very well. Don't forget, the new Catalog comes out on Wednesday!
Happy Stamping!!!!

Happy Fathers Day!
Sorry I didn't post Friday or Saturday. Yesterday we made a trip down state for a graduation party for our great nephew. It was a lot of driving but it was worth it. We also got to see our Son, daughter-in-law and grandsons. That is always a treat. I made a great graduation card and forgot to take a picture! Dah, what was I thinking or should that be what wasn't I thinking??? I'll do another and share it. So I dug a little and came up with a card I cased. It was originally done by Patty Bennett who has a great blog with lots of tutorials on it. Patty can be found at Please check her out. Now for my card This is a great card and lots of fun. I used Petal Pizzazz for my flowers in this card and Chocolate Chip for the flower pot. You can use many other flowers. I don't have it handy but I will be happy to share it with anyone who'd like it. Just email me and ask. I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Happy Stamping

Hi
Everyone,
Wow! Are you impressed?? Two posts in one day! I am. I am very proud of myself keeping up with almost daily posts. Now, I just have to keep it up. Comments and nudges are definitely welcomed! Tonights card is a technique that a number of my fellow stampers do so well. Patty Bennett and Sandi MacIver both have wonderful samples on their blogs. Please check out their blogs, they are both wonderful stampers. and So here is my card:I don't think this is the best picture I've ever taken but hope you can get the idea. This is done by brayering the sky on glossy card stock. I did this a while back and don't remember the colors I used. I am planning to do some more so will post them with directions very soon. I've had lots of people commenting on my hand and warning me to take it easy so let me first say "Thank you" for everyone's concern and also tell you that many of the cards I've posted in the past few days I did before my surgery. I am taking it easy mostly because there are just a lot of things I can't do one handed. I thought this would be a piece of cake. I never realized how much I use my left hand!! OK - tomorrow night is the drawing for the blog candy. You have until 6:00 pm to leave your comments. I will post the winner tomorrow night around 9:00pm. Good Luck to all of you. Please keep checking and leaving your comments even after the drawing and I will keep posting.
Happy Stamping!
