Awesome

Hope everyone is having a great day!  Note that I have been photographing my cards on my front porch.  I have carefully cropped around the bird poop...

I loved this piece of background paper, but I have no idea whom the manufacturer is.  I used Papertrey Ink stamps, Spellbinders dies, Washi tape from My Minds Eye and a foam arrow from American Crafts.  I can always find just the right thing in Grace's stamping room.

Every Single Day

Hello!  I threw this little thank you card together with scrappy things on my table.  The borders were left over from a zig zag die.  The Basic Grey background paper was left over from a different card.  Made the panel with Papertrey Ink stamps, and as usual, Grace had a flower to match perfectly.

More flip flops

Hello to all!  As promised, I have more cards made with this Papertrey Ink flip flop and die set.  I used Colorbox chalk ink to stamp these.  Added a little ribbon and ended up with a super easy cute card.

For this card, I used a pretty scrap of Basic Grey paper, scallop border die, rhinestones and ribbon. 

Have a great day.  from Martha

Good afternoon to everyone!  I decided its a nice day for flip flops.  So I broke out this set of stamps and coordinating dies from Papertrey Ink.  The oval die is from Spellbinders.  I added the perfect touch with little flower stickers to put on the "toes". 

For this card I needed some sand, but living in ND, I had to settle for champagne colored glitter.  See my little shell?  Glitter and shell were from Grace's stamping studio.

And the third card with this set.....More flip flops tomorrow.

Good morning everyone!  And Happy Father's Day.

Today's card is super simple.  I stamped my new sunflower stamp from Stampin' Up with Colorbox chalk ink, then added a sentiment from Papertrey Ink.  Poof, its a card.

For the second card, I added some little plastic beads/stones from the floral department at Crafts Direct.

Good morning everyone!  Getting set for a great weekend here.

This card is another one made with my new set and dies from Papertrey Ink.  I also used background paper from the same manufacturer.  This set was fun to work with.

This was another attempt with the same set.  I used the mini ribbon that Mickie sent again!

Good afternoon everyone!  I made this card with my new Papertrey Ink stamps and dies.  The background stamp is from Stampin' Up.  I found the idea for the card on the Papertrey Ink blog.

Next, I used the "negative" chicken image to make another card....

The stamp is from Papertrey Ink.

Have a nice evening.  from Martha

Good evening to all!  Today's card is made with two sets from Papertrey Ink--Garden Variety II and A Year of Flowers.  The dies are also from Papertrey Ink.  The color scheme turned out kind of funky, but that's ok!  Purple dotted background paper is from Stampin' Up.

Hey everyone.  I am back from vacation and was actually able to do a little stamping this weekend.  I saw a great idea for a card on another blog at www.colleen-dietrichdesigns.blogspot.com.  You can also see the inspiration card on my pinterest page.  Anyway, here is what I came up with.....

I pretty much used the same idea, with a different stamp.  The tulip and both sentiment stamps are from There She Goes stamps.  The background paper is a scrap from Webster's Pages.  Ribbon is from my stash.

Next, I switched it up a little......

and used a dark brown background.  Same stamp set from There She Goes.  Background paper is from 7 Gypsies.  Seam binding is from Snug Hug (or maybe Hug Snug......).

For this card I used the same idea with a more whimsical daisy stamp.  Background paper and sentiment are from Stampin' Up.  The ribbon is from a monthly kit from Taylored Expressions.

Lastly, I have a picture of myself at the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial in Washington DC.  I took this picture myself because Everett refused to......
