Dirty Butterflies...

Well, I don't know what else to call this card. When I went into trying something new and out of my normal style, this is what happened...and I am totally pleased!

I am calling this a collage effect. That is what I was going for. But in the end, it looked dirty, but really that's okay. I loved the look. I have another that matches this butterfly card but i'll save that for a later post.
This card is one of the ones we did at our workshop yesterday. All of the bees are embossed in gold and the sponging around it is supposed to be golden like honey...so have a honey of a day went pretty well I thought. No layers here.

This is another method I was messing with which is called soot stamping. I thought the effect is spooky enough to do some halloween cards, so guess what...next month we'll do some spooky cards!!! bwahahahah!!!

Baby Shower Peek-a-Boo Pops

Hello everyone. This is what I made for my daughters baby shower. These are the party favors. I gave 3 of these to 3 little kids. They all asked me the same thing, "Why are the candies like this?" I told them that they are in special packages, and if they keep them in there for 2 more days, they will be the sweetest candies ever! Well, they looked at me funny and checked to see if i was right....and you know the rest of that story:/

This next picture is of a can i had left over from some popycock popcorn. The can was pretty tall and roomy. So i used it to keep all of the cards from my daughters shower in it. She took it home and I have no clue where it is now, but i do have a picture.

Now these are pic's of the view from the hill top of Golden Gate Baptist Seminary. Jacqueline and Curtis will be living up there for the next few years. Curtis will be going to school there and Jacqueline will be feeding him and raising his baby. They are very blessed.

Oh! and check out the big money houses....

And that's San Francisco and Alcatraz to the left....


I hope you're having a good summer...I am!

Just buzzin by....

Hey all! I havn't been able to do any important stuff like stamping lately. I've been caught up in attempting to replace a sewer line, trying to make it to the gym and just keeping cool in this 103+ degree heat. Until now...

So here's a little something for you to look at. I've cased this grid background and never did find an easy way to get it done. However, I did it anyway with a ruler and a fine point sharpie. Then I used a blender pen and craft ink to color. I am pleased with the outcome..

Then here I have used my new stamp set called Just Buzzin By. I really thought these two guys are totally playful enough to keep this card simple.

I hope you've enoyed these...see you again soon...........:)
