Real Tart & Tangy

OK, when I saw Connie's (kittykat on SCS) Tart and Tangy Oranges, I LOVED it! As most of you know, Tart and Tangy is one of my FAVORITE sets! It's SO versatile! Anyway, Connie's was nice, and I could've EASILY done one for each fruit, but I LOVE Real Red with this set, so I changed it up a little. Take a look! And while you're at it, stop by Connie's SCS gallery or her blog!

The patterned paper is retired. The scallop circles are Wild Wasabi (retired) and the sentiment is in Basic Black. I also stamped each envelope with a different fruit from the set! They nust've been a hit because I only have ONE left!

See you back here on Monday! Have a great weekend!

Heartfelt Le Jardin

OK, this one was CASEd from another Suzanne!  LOL  AND She's also a SU Demo!  Doubtful she has the same FIRST name as I do though!  Anyway, on to the card.  This is from Suzanne (mesuezee on SCS).  You can visit her gallery (there's some GREAT stuff there!)

I changed the colors and the patterned paper and that was it!  Mine is a So Saffron base with Le Jardin (retired) patterned paper.  And I can't remember if the ribbon is Old Olive or Always Artichoke :}

OK, let's start! Priceless Birthday

OK, this first one had me stumped!  LOL  I spent THREE days trying to figure out measurements, but I LOVED this card SO much I would NOT give up on it!  I FINALLY contacted Christyne (coconutmuffn on SCS) and she helped me out!  LOL  You can visit her SCS Gallery or her blog (or BOTH!)

I used Priceless and Warmest Regards (retired).  The Purely Pomegranate ribbon is also retired.  I tried to find a close match for my "red" butterflies, but nothing compares to Purely Pomegranate!  I have to say, these turned out nice, but not as nice as Christyne's!  Thank you for the inspiration, Christyne!

Another one from me!

One more from me!  And again I used the SUPER CUTE set Laundry Notes!  I WISH this one had made it into the catalog!

I also wanted to mention again that I don't THINK I CASEd this one, but just in case - if you feel this is a CASE of your work, please let me know and I will give due credit :)

OK, this one was pretty simple - Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, and Regal Rose.  The ribbon is retired - Pink Organdy. 

Does anyone have any tips for coloring?  Apparently my coloring skills are just above Emma's (Kindergarten)!  LOL  I keep getting streaks where my marker overlaps - both between strokes AND where I stop and start.....

I inked the edges of the Whisper White with Close to Cocoa.

First card

OK, so this one is ALL me (as far as I know! LOL).  If it's not, I'm sorry to anyone who feels I didn't give credit - please let me know and I'll change that!

This uses the retired set Laundry Notes - VERY cute!  Along with the Summer Picnic paper, some ribbon, and buttons - VERY cute!  I wanted to make some cards that could be used for men too.... This was the closest I got!  LOL

Colors are Real Red (base), Bashful Blue, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Basic Black.

Oh and I wanted to point out, notice that on almost ALL the sets I stamped the envelopes to match (there is ONE that I didn't I think...)

New stuff to come!

Over the next few days (I'm hoping I have enough for a few weeks!), I will be posting some new stuff I made.  I made a BUNCH of cards for my mother, sister, sister-in-law, and grandmother for Christmas.  Many of these cards were CASEd from some wonderfully talented SplitCoast Stampers!  I will only post once I get their approval.  I will also be posting a link to their SCS gallery!  When you go over there, take a look around and leave a comment on some of their creations!  I'm sure they'd like that!  So be on the look out starting Monday!

New Decor Elements!

I KNOW ya'll are about to SHOOT me for not posting, but things have been CRAZY!  I wanted to share this with you, but I can't e-mail it.  So here it is!  The new, expanded line of Decor Elements!

NEW Decor Elements - Available for purchase starting January 19

I also wanted to let everyone know that Sale-a-bration will be coming February 1-March 31!  Let me know now if you'd like to book a workshop!  There is one weekend that is not available right now....

And I DO have some stuff to post, but much of it is CASEd from other stampers, so I need to get permission before posting.
