of card stock, that is..

It seems no matter what I order, or how often I order, I always didn't order enough or what I needed...
oh well. I guess that's life.

Well here is a lovely card some kind stamper, Susan Sewell, gave me this past Saturday at an SU demo meeting....

Stamp sets: En Franis, Gently Falling
Ink: Baja Breeze, Soft Suede, Versa Mark
Paper: Baja Breeze DPS, Soft Suede, Whisper White.
Other: Clear Embossing Powder, Baja Breeze seam binding, linen thread, scalloped edge trim punch.

Well have a lovely weekend.  I am off to Mt Vernon tomorrow to cut and get ready to help make 50 to 150 cards on Monday.

HS,

enjoying the morning..

It is a nice quite morning so far...enjoy the peace and a cup of coffee (which I hardly ever drink).  Of course it has lots of milk and sugar...

My day will soon be filled with grand babies and sewing and a few other things, but for now the solitude...

I am making some coffee cup cards and a post it note cover for a coffee basket that a friend of mine school is auctioning off sometime soon.... Hopefully I'll take pictures before I give it to her today.

 



This is another card I designed for us to this past Saturday at a demo's meeting.   (I wasn't even going to buy this set.)

Well I did survive a busy, busy 2 weeks and I am looking forward to taking a few days to go to Mt. Vernon, Ohio to see my sister, Raeschell. 

She is the director of a facility that works and cares for mentally and physically disabled adults.  Mom and I are going to help them make Christmas cards.

Well I will go for now, have a lovely peaceful day and HS,
Wanda

i though i had a title for this post...

but by the time I got home I forgot so...I'll just move on.

It seems like every time I post I am always telling you how busy I am...kinda gets monotonous, don't it?

Well I have been busy and here are some cards to prove it....

This is a card I cased mostly from Jill Hillard...I did change up a few things..

 



This my design...

Both of these cards use the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and matching Framelits....

They are 2 of 7 I designed for our down line meeting this Saturday, where I am one the presenters or whatever you want to call me.

We I really must be off, do you know what my dinning room table looks like after one of my designing sessions? and to top it all off I have a class tonight......

Before I go however, I do want to thank God for helping me come up with these ideas and designs, some days I just draw a blank. I am thankful when I pray for help, He answers.  I'm really not that clever, just blessed.

Hope you have a blessed day, till next time...

HS,
Wanda

happy anniversary...

to me and my hubby of only 36 years!  And are you ready for the irony?  Seems like I need to now prove that I am married for me to remain on Eugene's insurance (that's he's only had for several years now).  I have to find my marriage license for prof go figure.

Anyway here is a card I made at a shoe box swap at a direct up line meeting with Sharon D.

It was designed by Kim Innis.  Sharon said it was her favorite of all the swap cards we made...We made it with the Perfectly Preserved Bundle (stamp set and dies together).  It's a fun set and I have more projects to make and made with this set for classes this month.

Have a lovely day and make sure you know you're married... (yeah whatever).

HS,
Wanda

inspiration...

from yesterday's card is what inspired Mom for today's cards.

Mom took glossy paper and stamped the image on with Stazon, the she just sponged it instead of using alcohol and re inkers. She made about 19 of these.

I have to little boys that spent the night last night, so not much stamping for a while.  I did make a triple layer card last night before I went to bed.  I am not sure if I will use it for class this month or not.  Have to think about that one.

Well I must be off..

HS,
Wanda

maybe not Tues either....

I don't think I'll get much stampin' in today...because we just picked up 20 dozen ears of corn...
so Momma and I are busy...to say the least.

We (mostly she) did alot Monday evening.  It is now 2:25 am, Tuesday morning and I am just waiting to put up the last few bags of the corn she did.  We did 8 quarts so far.

Well enough of that.  How about another card...

 

 

This a really nice one done similar to polished stone technique we have done before.  The difference is here they just use alcohol and re inker and no metallic ink..it drys a lot faster. 

 

The Open Seas stamp set and Not Quite Navy and Crumb Cake ink along with Black Stazon to stamp  with.

 

Hope you had a nice Labor Day...

 

Till next time HS,

Wanda
