Sorry I have been so delinquent in adding to my galleery. I am trying to get back at it now. I have a new card to post and will do so tonight after work. Have a great day.
Had to try these cards
Here are a couple of cards I just had to try. I had the ideas for several days but didn’t have the time to make them.

Stampin Up Sets Used: French script BG, Morning soft, Best Yet

New card and goody bag
Here is a box in a bag I just had to try. I got the tutorial off splitcoaststampers.com. Hope you like it. I think it would be great for our next stamp camp.
This is a sketch challenge from splitcoast stampers as well. SC203. I had to try out my cuddlebug folder on this one.

Hope you like them. Glad to fine a little time to stamp in between working and the kids.
Until next time.
Stamp camp cards
Here are the card we made at my monthly stamp camp this week. I am so happy to have the girls come and make cards with me. They do seem to enjoy themselves too. I have a great group.
This first card I used a faux wood grain technique. I just love how this turned out. Even the guys like this one.
Here is the next one. I taught the group how to make icicles with crystal effects and dazzling diamonds glitter.
To make the icicles you just run a bead of crystal effects on a piece of wax paper wide enough to cover the width of your card and then pull lines down from it to make the icicles. Then you just dump your glitter on it and tap it off and let it dry. I waited a day and them removed it from the wax paper, comes off easily. Glue it on to your card with crystal effects or tombow adhesive.
Next card is made with one of my favorite color combos right now. Bravo burgundy, pink pirouette, so saffron and sahara sand.
Hope you all like them.
Sketch Challenge 200
It is hard to believe that this is the 200th sketch challenge on splitcoast stampers. Wow they have been doing this challenge thing a while now. Here is the card I chose to make for this challenge. I am wanting to get a better feel for the tangerine tango color so worked exclusively with this color and whisper white as my neutral color.
STAMPIN UP SETS USED: To have and to hold, Together Forever
COLORS: Tangerine Tango and Whisper White
ACCESSORIES: 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 square punches, sponges, paper piercer, tangerine tango ribbon
Hope you like it. Have a great evening.
CC190 and WSC63
Well I have been busy! I started a new part time job on Monday and am loving it already. This job I can make more money at even if I do love my hobby more. It seems like it will be a great place to work, and it being close to home doesn’t hurt either.
Here is the card I got to make today, finally (think I was going into withdrawal).
I did a double challenge card again as I seem not to be having as much time for stamping for some reason. Hmm!
Color challenge on splitcoast this week was hard, pixie pink, tangerine tango, and kiwi kiss. I also incorporated Beate’s weekend sketch challenge which I hate to miss.
STAMPIN UP SETS USED: Humor in High Heels
Colors: Pixie pink, kiwi kiss, pixie pink, whisper white
ACCESSORIES: Tangerine tango ribbon, word window punch, 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 circle punches, scallop circle punch and sponge
If you have any suggestions on how to improve this one I would love to hear it. I am not sure about all that white space.
Color challenge card
