suprise...

I'm writing this post at night and not in the early morning....

I was suppose to work on class cards this afternoon, but.....

Instead I made church cards...I really like these and may use them for class some time....

They were very fast and easy.

I, of course couldn't decide exactly how I liked them best.  Mounted on Crumb Cake, or with or without a bow.  I used Crumb Cake, Black Stazon and Soft Sky ink, Whisper White card stock and Crumb Cake card stock on 2.  I have been wanting to use some of the new Washi Tape and so I did.

 

I got this idea from some where on the internet.  Not exactly but close. Oh and the Stamp Set I used was Summer Silhouettes.

 

Well I did actually down load some more pictures which I plan on sharing tomorrow..,,

 

Until then HS..

happy friday...

at least it will be if I can publish this post with out deleting anything:0)

Busy, busy week, swimming, stamping and a viewing tonight, plus another class tomorrow.

Barbara P has been busy this week and shared some of her creativity with me, so I will in turn share with you. 
This is a card originally from Connie Babbert....It's a very pretty card, which I may change up a bit...we'll see...

The colors are Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe and Tangerine Tango.

 

 

 

 

This card features a quick bow we are learning how to make in class this week.  I will be posting a picture on how to make this next week.

The colors here are Perfect Plum and Whisper White..

 

 

Thanks so much Barbara for sharing your work with us!

 

Well must be off, places to go, people to see and things to do.

 

Trust you all have a great weekend.

 

HS,

Wanda



waaaaaaaaaaaaaah...

I just deleted my post I had almost finished writing...I almost don't even feel like posting now....however I will for all my adoring fans....:0)

I'm not even going to tell you what I already said, just show you a card we did in class last month..

The color doesn't show up too much, but it is Pool Party...I really liked this card...

Cancelled class last night because we had no electricity after a storm blew through last evening.  Power was off for about 4 hours... Gail and her sister in law, Karen, came anyway.  We did okay until about 8:45, things started getting a little harder to see and of course just when we were finishing up at 9:00 the lights came back on....

ARGGGGGGGGGGGGH... just deleted some more stuff!

I am signing off now before I do anymore damage....

Have a lovely week..
HS,
Wanda

nothing clever comes to mind but....

I do want thank the anonymous person who left a comment the other day....Thank you so much! No one ever does and sometimes I feel like I talk to no one...

I have a card to show you today that we weren't going to do, but after some thought I decided to do it at class this month.

This is the first one I made.  I tried to save ribbon and since this ribbon is stretchy I pulled it and taped it down, but it came loosed after it set over night, so I will cut it regular size. 
I stamped it on Crumb Cake paper with White Craft ink, then colored it with an Aqua Pen and reinkers...Strawberry Slush, Gumball Green, and Crush Curry.
The flower in the right corner was to cover a mistake.

On this one, I put the flower on the ribbon.  It's not as bulky and will mail easier.

This one I did in Perfect Plum and Elegant Eggplant and added a Crumb Cake ribbon bow.
I also added some Dazzling Details to the center of the flowers to add a little pizazz. It doesn't show up here.

I have lost 30lbs so far. It's kind of slow going, but I will keep trying.


Have a lovely week and HS.

i live in a world of dreams......

I dream of posting almost everyday...
I dream of having a wonderful blog and knowing what I am doing...
I dream of making a never ending supply of awesome cards to show..
I dream of sending out cards to everyone I think needs ones....
I dream....the list is too long, but I do dream...

Well time to wake up and get on with the real world.

I didn't realize I have so many cards I haven't taken pictures of or even posted...I do have a special card I made yesterday, but I can't post it yet, but here are some I can.

Here's a card Barbara P made using one of the special ' Best of 25 Years' stamp sets.  It's called Brides and Babies (in that order, in case you wondered:0).  We will be making a card really similar to this in class this month.

This a card we made in May's class using a fun new (seems new away) technique called, I forgot.  Anyway you color in white craft ink and "paint" over it using re inkers and an aqua painter or blender pen.  I got this idea from Sandi McIver who got it from someone else. 


Well no 4th of July cards to show, but happy Independence Day tomorrow.  And a Happy Birthday today to Debbie Heffernan, who turned 29 again;0).

Have a lovely holiday weekend and be safe.

HS till next time,
Wanda

silence is golden unless.....

you have a blog...that you want people to come too often...

I do have at least 8 or 9 cards to share, but only one for  today.  Plus I will share something very personal with you that you will only know if you read this blog....

First of all most important a card....Barbara P made this and gave it to me... She wants to do this in a class, so does Mom.  I am not sure if we will or not because, although it is simple, I can't do much pre preparation before class.. But I am thinking about it...

Isn't it beautiful? It uses a new in colors Coastal Cabana and Strawberry Slush, and Daffodil Delight.  The flowers are embossed in white on card stock Vellum and then sponged or brayered with color.

The stamp set is Secret Garden and the are cut out with the coordinating framelits.

Well now for my personal news... I had surgery last Wed. June 12.   I had 3 things done....After much struggle, thoughts, self battles and prayers (although still struggling with self doubt) I decided to have gastric sleeve surgery, at the same time I had a hernia in my esophagus repaired and I also had some scar tissue removed that had grown around the liver from a near death illness I had 7 yrs ago.

So there you have it. I am currently on a strict liquid for 1 month followed by another strict diet for the next two months as things heal.... So you should see less of me each time we meet.

I am also planning on taking some computer training in the near future to learn new skills and hopefully one day know how to really do this blog right:0)

Well classes are this week, in fact one is this morning....

Hope all is well with you and yours.  Until next time....

HS,
Wanda

has it really been a whole month.....

since I last blogged?  I can't believe it.  I really have been stamping, plus being sick, and all the rest of life that I do......

Hi too my two Barbs, Barbara P and Barb B....probably if it wasn't for Barb B telling me she keeps checking my blog, I wouldn't of been motivated to post... sometimes it seems no one is there, but anyway...

I read somewhere where I should just get right to the card and not meander so without further ado...

 

 

Actually these are projects I designed with  My Digital Studio, MDS for short, for you see I also took an on line class last month too.  I knew I needed to learn how to use this.  I have had it for over 4 years and never did much with it, so when the opportunity came I thought I should take advantage of it.... AND NOW INSTEAD OF 79.95, MDS IS ONLY 19.95! and it really is fun.....

 

If you are interested is learning, just let me know.

 

Well I have to go now, life is calling.....

 

I will do my best to post more often.

 

But until then,

HS,

Wanda
