Yes, it has been way too long since I posted on this blog! And I am lucky I can still post! Some how this blog got linked to my son's old gmail address. He stopped using the account and I couldn't get on the blog for the longest time. Finally figured out how to access it, and here I am. First post in forever!<br />
<br />
This card is a very fast, simple and easy card to make using the SAB set, Flowering Fields. I used Rose Red and Old Olive markers for the flowers. Cut out the saying using the label die from the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits, distressed the edges, added some Baker's Twine and clothes pin, and there you have it!<br />

This awesome hop will be show casing products that highlight retiring and already retired products. I am a really pack rat when it comes to keeping my retired stuff! I find it hard to get rid of my ribbons, DSP, EF, and other retired product! So being a part of this hop "forced" me to dig through my retired goodies, and below is what I came up!<br />
<br />
<b>For the Birds Card</b><br />
<br />
For my first project, I am using the retiring stamp set, For the Birds. This was a fun card to make and I like the different textures of the card. It's a mix of already retired, soon to be retired and current products. I think that the diversity of the layout allows you to use different background EF, and colors.<br />

Inks: Blushing Bride, Pool Party, Soft Suede, Certainly Celery, Black Stazon<br />
Papers: Whisper White, Blushing Bride<br />
Accessories: Big Shot, Hearts a Flutter Dies, Cloudy Day EF, Needlepoint Border EF, Apothecary Accents Dies, Pool Party Bakers Twine, Pearls, Flower Trio Punch, Watercolor Brush, Dimensionals<br />
<br />
<b>Blooming with Kindess Cards</b><br />
<br />
I love everything about this set and even though it's retiring, I will always keep it around! For the card below, I stamped the flower image with Early Espresso ink, and the die cut the image/card stock using an Apothecary Accent Die. I then used the Essentials paper piercing template to outline the die cut. The edges were feathers using a sponge and Crumb Cake ink. I then added some pearls and a bow, and did additional paper piercing.<br />

<b>Blooming with Kindess Card made using the saying only:</b><br />
<br />
For my last card I thought I would try tucking a piece of Rich Razzleberry satin ribbon under the lace I had left over from the Artisan Embellishments Kit. I roughed up the edges a little using my distressing tool. I like how it looks and the softness of the card.<br />

I was challenged and inspired to be a part of the Creative Blog Hop by fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, Dee Tollaksen, and you can see her wonderful projects by clicking <a href="http://stampwithdee.blogspot.com/2014/12/creative-blog-hop-and-my-creative.html" target="_blank">HERE!</a><br />
<br />
I love how much the wonderful craft of stamping has evolved since I started stamping 16 years ago! Back then, the majority of the projects didn't have a lot of dimension to them and embellishments (brads, ribbon, etc.) were used for small accents. I get so inspired by others creations and spend way too much time on Pinterest, Splitcoasters, YouTube, and other stamping sites!<br />
<br />
I hope this project will challenge and inspire you to made something festive for your home, or for others, this year! I have made several collages for craft shows that I participated in, and thought it would be fun to actually make one for myself this year!<br />
<br />
The main small squares are 2"x 2", and the large square is a base of 5" x 3". I used the same designs that I used in my other collages, and it came together pretty quickly.<br />

<br />

The following are some questions related to the Creative Blog Hop:<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px; font-weight: 700;">1. What are you working on?</span><br />
<br />
I am currently working on making some fun holiday home decor items for my house. The collage and wreaths (shown in an older post) are a few items. I am also making some tagged treats for my co-workers.<br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;" />
<b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418582272083_3420" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">2. How does your work differ from others in your genre?</b><br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;" />
When I see something that I really love and would like to case, I try to figure out how I can put my own spin on my project. But I really think we really see a bit of each other in our projects, and that's why this wonderful craft is so awesome. We all love to share what we make to inspired, share and challenge others!<br />
<br />
<b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418582272083_3424" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">3. Why do you create what you do?</b><br />
<br />
Simply because I love it! I fell in love with stamping 16 years ago, and it's a big part of my life. I find so much joy in using the gifts and abilities that God has given me to create something for others. I also love sharing my love of stamping with my customers and friends through the stamp camps I do at my house.<br />
<br style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;" />
<b id="yui_3_16_0_1_1418582272083_3425" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', 'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif; font-size: 12.7272720336914px;">4. How does your creative process work?</b><br />
<br />
That's a hard one to answer as I process things different ways........sometimes it's seeing something online that makes me wonder how it was created, or through seeing a sketch challenge. There have been many nights I wake up designing a card in my head when I should be sleeping!<br />

I saw a YouTube video that Rhonda Wade did on how to make wreaths by simply using DSP, scissors and a mini-stapler which you can watch by clicking <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE3axfwm-sE" target="_blank">HERE</a>!<br />
<br />
I have a ton of retired DSP and made two practice wreaths. Two using 6" x 6" squares, and one using 4" x 4" squares. Using a mini-stapler really makes a difference and I would highly recommend using one versus glue dots or a glue gun. What do you think? They are so fun and addicting - good thing that I am a paper hoarder!!<br />

I saw these adorable treat bags that Becky Roberts did, and knew they would be so cute to put Dove Chocolates in. To see her treat bags on her bog, Inking Idaho, please click <a href="http://www.inkingidaho.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2014-11-23T05:00:00-07:00&max-results=12&start=3&by-date=false" target="_blank">HERE</a>!<br />

And here is my version of the treat bags. They are so easy to make; below is a list of all the punches and dies that I used (hopefully I remember them all)!<br />

I had a fun stamp camp all planned out for today, but unfortunately I got hit with one heck of a cold/sinus congestion and had to cancel. We were going to do Clean and Simple Christmas cards using a lot of punches and dies. I can't tell you how bummed I am, but really didn't think anyone would like to come over and have me sneeze and cough on them. It's incredible the amount of stuff going around school, and I knew it was only a matter of time before I got something!<br />
<br />
This is one of the cards we were going to make today, and below is a list of what I used to make the card.<br />

It has been way too long since I have posted anything on my blog. Life got way too busy since my last post between getting Ben ready to head off to college, football and other stuff! I now am thankful that things have calmed down and I now have time to start stamping and posting.<br />

LNS is doing monthly challenges now, and the challenge this month is do a Halloween/Fall themed project. I decided to make a fall candle using punches and twine, and then I placed inside a pumpkin candle holder I found at a store.

It's been way too long since I have posted on my stamping blog, and for that I apologize! Life has been a way too crazy this summer and then I fell off my bike and my left hand and arm took the brunt of the fall. I am right handed, but it still made it very hard to hold cardstock, etc., with a couple of swollen fingers and a really sore arm!<br />
<br />
So I thought I would give it a try to do this week's Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Challenge! It felt so good stamp and actually create something! So how about it, ready for this week's challenge? The sketch is found below, and when you are finished with your project you can simply load it <a href="http://technostamper.blogspot.com/2014/07/monday-lunchtime-sketch-challnege-323.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>!<br />

Who remembers Button Bear? This is one of the first sets I got when I first started stamping back in 1998, and I will probably always keep this set around! I stamped bear image onto a piece of watercolor paper using a StazOn inkpad. I watercolored the bear in using Soft Suede, Mossy Meadow and Tangelo Twist inks, and then cut the image out. The paw prints were stamped using Mossy Meadow and Tangelo Twist, and then I distressed the edges of the Very Vanilla c/s using a distressing tool. Below is a list of what I used, and my card.</div>

I used the new Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight Blendabilities Markers to color in the flower. I have to admit that I was a little intimated to try them at first, but after playing around with them for a bit, I think they are the bomb!! After the colors set for a minute, I cut out the flower and then spritzed it with some Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz to give it a little more shimmer. Below is a list of what I used to make the card. Have a great day, and thanks for stopping by!<br />

It is a beautiful Memorial Day today, and I am so thankful for all my family members that have served or are presently serving. My dad, uncles and my father-in-law all served during WWII. I have 2 nephews actively serving in the Marines, and 1 in the Air Force.<br />
<br />
To all who have served or are currently serving, I thank you!<br />

I used the new stamp set, Work of Art for my card, and it can be found in the upcoming 2014/2015 SU Idea Book. Samples of this set have been all over PI, and all of the samples have been amazingly creative! Lots of fun opportunities with the fab stamp set! I also used the new In-Colors to create the background on the bottom of the card. Here is a list of what I used:<br />

Happy Monday - here's hoping this week it will finally start warming up! Last week Friday it actually SNOWED here and I had to wear my winter coat during recess out on the playground - crazy!! I am so ready for spring and to able to plant some flowers.<br />
<br />
I am doing a combo post for this week's Techno Stamper: Monday Lunchtime Challenge, and the 2 week LNS challenge. The sketch is shown below for the Techno challenge. For the LNS challenge, we needed to use Crystal Effects on our card. I put a drop in the center of the flowers and had a really hard time getting it to show up in the pics....<br />
<br />
When you are finished with your projects, you can load them below:<br />

<br />
It's hard to see, but after I watercolored in the flowers I put a dab of Crystal Effects over the Hello Honey ink. Since I don't have any Mossy Meadow ribbon, I dyed the Whisper White Organza Ribbon Mossy Meadow. I did this by using a sponge to lightly hold the white ribbon down on the top of the Mossy Meadow inkpad, and then I gently pulled the ribbon through. The Mossy Meadow inkpad was very juicy, and it took 2 days for the ribbon to dry! I loaded 2 different pics, one with pearls on the edge of the Tangelo Twist c/s, and one without.<br />

The sun is out and you can tell it's going to be a really nice day - my lunch kiddos will love it!<br />
<br />
I thought I would do the PPA Color Challenge for this week, and below you can find the colors and my card. I cased my own card from a while back and changed up the colors the challenge. The card I "cased" had a soft look to this, and this one has a bolder look to it. Let me know what you think!<br />

We have a fun, 2 week, challenge for you over at the LNS Blog! The challenge is to make a card based on the picture below.

For my card I went with Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive and Crushed Curry. I used the stamp sets, Gorgeous Grunge and Off the Grid, for the background. I think that Off the Grid works so well with the Gorgeous Grunge set and I am so sad that it is being retired! The following is a list of what I used.<br />

Happy Monday! This was a crazy busy week as I helped with the mulch sale for my son's football team, and then had a family bridal shower on Sunday. Looks like the sun might actually be out today and they are calling for it to be in the high 70's by the end of the week - I'll take it!<br />

My husband's birthday is on Friday and I went with a CAS mono-chromatic theme for his card using Soft Suede ink. He is a huge biking guy, so of course I needed to have a bike on the card! It's not a real "fancy" card, but I know he will like it none the less. Below is a list of what I used.</div>

Yesterday was the last day of spring break and we had something that we didn't have all week - sun and warmer temps! It felt so good to sit outside this afternoon, and I am so hoping that it will start warming up and we are done with the cold and snow!<br />

I went for a vintage look for my card and like how the colors, Pink Pirouette, Soft Suede and Pistachio Pudding flow together. I lightened up the Soft Suede for the background and stamped it off on a scrap piece of paper first before stamping the image on the card front. I distressed the edges and then lightly added Soft Suede to the edges using a sponge.</div>
