I am ready when you are. Just tell me when & where. LOL And, uh, anytime is a good time for coffee. Just sayin.'
I made this card using the "This Could be Vodka" set from The Cat's Pajamas. Love that DP paper and the color profile. Wooooweee!
Anywho, thanks for dropping by! Have a SUPER day!
stamps: This Could be Vodka from The Cat's Pajamas
ink: Black Momento, Copics & White Gel Pen
paper: DP, Coral, Blue & White
misc: Button, Twine & We R Memory Keepers Circle Dies
I wasn't kidding when I told you I had been stamping. Are you impressed? I haven't blogged this much in YEARS! LOL I really feel like my passion for stamping has been re-ignited. I am having the best time!
This card was made using "This Could be Vodka" from The Cat's Pajamas. I love all the stamps in this set and the sayings are pretty cute. No matching dies with this one but you can get the "svg" files that work with your Cricut or whatever machine you use. It took me a few tries to figure out how to do it with my Cricut but now that I know how, it is pretty easy. There are some dies available for the cups to use as overlays. I haven't tried them yet but I think I will pull them out and give them a go.
Hope you enjoyed my card, thanks for stopping by!

This cute stamp & saying is from the set "This Could be Vodka" by The Cat's Pajamas. I pretty much love anything that has to do with coffee. Don't you? If not, the cups could also pass for tea...just sayin.'
Anywho, hope you enjoy the card. Thanks for stopping by!
stamps: This Could be Vodka from The Cat's Pajamas
inks: Black Momento & Copics
paper: Kraft, White & Designer Paper (sorry I can't remember which pad of paper it is from)
misc: Cup die is from The Cat's Pajamas & all other dies are from My Favorite Things
I haven't stamped in FOREVER (too much going on, will fill you in later) but one of my co-workers asked if I could whip her up a baby shower card and I said..."sure, no problem." As soon as the words were out of my mouth I began to wonder if I had over committed myself. I know, you are thinking...how can this girl over commit herself with ONE CARD but for me? THE STRUGGLE IS REAL FOLKS!! LOL
It took me 2 hours to make it...crazy, I know, but I had to color the same image 3x because it wasn't "just right." By the time I finished the third image I was happy with it. I probably could have made some minor color changes but overall, after not stamping for 6+ months, I liked what I saw.
All the stamps I used are retired (sorry) from The Cat's Pajamas. It's fun to pull out the old stuff!!
Hoping to play with my stamps again soon. Keep good thoughts for me!
Thanks for stopping by!
Pretty excited how they turned out. I even made the little felt envelope with a die from The Cat's Pajamas. Woot, woot!
Here is the envelope closed with the earrings inside...
How great is that? Turned out to be the perfect size. YEAH!
Tomorrow I plan on stamping & getting caught up on some cards (or at least I hope to). My shoulder has been giving me some trouble so I don't know how productive I will be. This is the reason for my absence over the last week. :(
Anywho, hope to see you all tomorrow. Enjoy the earrings!
Guess I'm not flying so high tonight! :)
I had big plans to come home & get some stuff done but the minute I walked in the house? Exhausted. What's up with that? I was soooo looking forward to getting my weekend started. I had a take charge attitude & now? Now I feel like crawling in bed with my sweet little puppy & snoozing. Heck, if I go to bed now maybe I can get to sleep before Robert comes to bed & then I won't have to listen to his snoring!!! LOL
That's it, I'm gonna succumb to the sleepiness. I will catch up with all of you later.
Thanks for stopping by!

As much as I like this card, I now realize, it could have been so much better. If only I had made it AFTER my Copic classes! My shading & coloring would have been better, there would have been more contrast...I could go on... but as Sherrie said..."we learn from our mistakes." Why yes, yes we do. :)
Maybe I will have to perform another card overhaul & use this card as my base project???? Hmmm...
In other news, it's Thursday so you know what that means, right? TOMORROW IS FRIDAY!!! I am looking forward to the weekend and getting some stamping done. Or at least getting something crafty done.
Hope you all have a fantastic day tomorrow!
Thanks for stopping by!

or not, or maybe... LOL
I was using up my scraps from this past week & it hit me... I used wayyyyyyyy too much red over the past week. I get carried away sometimes. Can you tell? LOL
...
I am going to call it early tonight as I have had a terrible kink in my shoulder for the past couple of days. I think I am going to try a heating pad on it & see if that helps.
Hope you had a fun Monday! See y'all later!

don't settle, GO BIG!!! As in HUGE!!!
When I was digging through my paper & saw this DP from K & Company I knew I had to pull out this sweet stamp set from The Cat's Pajamas. Alma really scored big when she snagged this designer, Zlatoena. She has some seriously cute digital images. Have you been to her Etsy shop? You should check it out HERE. I can only hope that Alma makes all of her stamps into sets!! :)
I think that's all I have tonight. I am trying to finish up on a couple of chores & then hit the sack at a decent hour. Hope you all have a swell night!
Thanks for stopping by!

Not really. I mean, it's cloudy here but no meatballs. Unless I decide to make some for dinner. Mmmm, doesn't that sound good, meatballs? I may have to pull out some ground beef or turkey & whip some up.
Random thought here but did I tell you I started back on my low carb diet? I did. I am doing pretty good. I lost 6lbs in my first week & exercised twice. Twice, you say? Well, twice is better (& more) than what I have been doing! Baby steps people, baby steps!
I've also been taking the girls (Molly, Bailey & Libby) for a walk in the evening & picking up the mail. It's only a 15 min walk, but, it IS a walk. Whoop, whoop!
Okay, enough about my diet & meatballs, let's get to the meat of the post & get a card up, shall we?
I made this card for my sister in law. Her birthday was the beginning of January and I still have the card sitting on my desk in my office. OOPS! I should make it a point to get it out in the mail on Monday, what do you think? Okay, okay, I will get it sent out. LOL
Oh wow, my Saturday is slipping away, I better get busy. Hope you have a fantastic day today!!
Thanks for stopping by!
