Become Who You Really Are

Hi Vicky here today. I have a card that I made for a friend who went through by-pass surgery. She loved it and wanted to share it with everyone so she gave it back for me to use it. I used Spellbinder to cut out the pic and saying then sponged color to on it. The rose is also a Spellbinder that I inked while the die was still on and who doesn't like to get flowers.

 This is close up of the lock and key. I thought of unlocking the inner you and let her out.

I have a background paper with numbers on it because numbers are important.

I also put on a measuring tape on the card.

Hope you enjoyed the card.

You can see the stamps on wood mount or cling mount here.

Birthday Cowboy

Vicky here today. I have a yippee yahoo birthday card to share.

It is pretty straight forward card. I stamped the barbwire in the background on a light tan piece of card stock. The cowboy was stamped on X-Press paper and colored with Copic markers.

I stamped Happy Birthday in the barbwire frame. The frame is big enough to stamp a lot of saying in it.

 

Hope you enjoyed the man card.

Quirky Craft Challenge Reminder

There is a picnic/BBQ challenge over at Quirky Craft.

Crackerbox are giving a $15.00, $10.00 and $5.00 coupon.

A couple of the girls made up a few more cards to share.

 

The first one is from Lyn. I like the way the ant is holding the sign of Life's A Picnic!

This is her crafty inside. I love how she made a tree stump out of the pop out. The ants sure do look busy!

Doris made some tags, aren't they cute? I think it's a cute idea for any kind of tag or putting on a dish to pass.

Doris also made the easel card. I like the sun she made. The ants are taking off with everything.

 Cazzy made this cute birthday card. It is a gate fold. Her ants look very busy too.

Hope you enjoyed the ideas.

Dragon and Bull BBQ

Vicky here today. Since the weekend is coming up and it is still summer here in WI. we BBQ any chance we get. I thought I might do a non-standard BBQ invite with a little humor, since most of our stamps are on the humorous side.

Thought I would add our fire dragon for the heat.

And added our bull (who I think is funny looking)

for the steak.

I added a jump ring in his nose.

Under the flap of the bull is the steak!

You can do the invite inside the card.

Hope you enjoyed the humor. :)

Stampscapes cabin on land

Hi, Vicky here today to share some new Stampscape stamps.

I really like the new stamps from Stampscapes. Kevin has done a lot of great images.

This is his 343I Bayou Shack that would usually be in the water, but I wanted the shack on land. I did keep the cabin on the posts rather than putting it right on the ground. Some cabins in the northern part of our state has cabins on posts.

The hill on the left side is named Rocky Waterside, but it makes a great hill on land also.

That is one thing I really, really like about Kevin's stamps is that you can use his stamps and change them from land to water, or water to land.

I colored the scene with Copic markers, and stamped the clouds with Brilliance ink.

 

321 Mossy Rocks

323 Rocks and grass

 324 Rocky Waterside

 332 Cobbled Path

343 Bayou Shack

Hope you can stop by and take a look at Kevin's new stamps.

Father's Day Grill

Vicky here today. What does your husband like to do on Father's Day?

John likes to grill out. He does the grilling since he doesn't trust me, and I am not sure why since he has never let me, but I haven't really argued to do it either. But he likes to grill and have the kids over.

The apron and the stamp on it are two different stamps. We have 4 stamps for the apron.

These are copied from the wood blocks but you can get them in cling foam here.
