Sizzix Simple Flower Embosslit

Good Afternoon! This card was a fast card to make. The back panel is textured with the Sizzix Texture #4 plate from Stampin' Up ran through the big shot. The flower's are cut and embossed with the Sizzix Simple Flower and Emblosslit and they have brads for flower centers. A piece of vellum was cut with the Circle Scizzor's Plus and another piece was cut for under the verse which is from the stamp set Stem Sayings. The card stock colors are Real Red, Barely Banana, and Basic Black. I just love how fast you can add texture to a card with the Big Shot. It makes a card go from good to WOW!

Mom was over this morning to look at the new website for Adams Flea Market. I put a link on the right side bar so you can see it too. There are 18 pictures in a slide show on it.

I am having a pajama day today and am trying to knock stuff off my long "to do list". I seem to keep adding to the list instead of crossing things off! Oh well....what can you do. I am getting things ready so that I can run errands tomorrow. Fun Fun. NOT! As you probably have figured out....I'd rather be crafting! Hope you are all having a great day! Elaine

Pick A Petal 2

Hello! I promised you another card with Pick A Petal and here it is! Diane told me this weekend that she thought this card looked like you were looking through a window. I hadn't thought of that but I guess it does. I had another busy day today. I ran some errands and some more fixtures from the house got moved to the flea market. I am trying to clean up the after math of the tornado that looks like has hit inside my house. It is getting empty around here except for all of the stuff that I had to move off the fixtures so that they could be taken. But with all the comes some cleaning and organizing so that is a good thing. I am totally rearranging things and I will take some pictures when I get it all done. First I have to figure out what I want to do! The saga continues......Boo

PIck A Petal

Good Afternoon! I am home early today as we got rained out at the flea market so I got home around 2 o'clock. Now the sun is shining again but it rained enough to get the vendor's to pack up and leave. Only a few were left when Diane and I left. Speaking of Diane....she made the best roll ups today with our Howlin' Horseradish Dip mix. They had tortilla shells, roast beef or ham (she made 2 different ones) and cheese. Absolutely yummy. She is such a good cook. I gave samples of Nana's apple cake today and everyone loved that. Today's card is with Pick A Petal. This stamp set has so many possibilities! I will be posting another card tomorrow using the same set but it will amaze you how different the other card looks!

Dana's Stamping Party!

Today I did a stamping party out at Dana Diorio's. As a thank you gift for having the party,Dana received from me a decorated mason jar full of wooden spools wrapped with ribbon. One of the gals mentioned that it was just too cute and should be used for a decoration and not used. Everyone liked it and wanted one to. I told them they could get one too if they booked a party or maybe something even cooler. They also each received an inspiration sheet and two people were lucky winners of Spring notepads. Dana had lots of CHOCOLATE and other goodies for us to snack on. These are the two cards that we did today and they were well liked by everyone. I just finished talking to Colleen in Oregon and she has the set Sweet Shapes too and would like to do this card with her stamping group in Oregon. So I said I would quick shoot a picture of it so she could see it. On my way back to town...my partner in crime...Lady Di and I stopped for Chinese. Yum Yum and I even have some left overs for tomorrow. It has been chaos here since I have been home tonight. I had phone calls to answer and the phone has been ringing off the wall nonstop but I did manage to get my stamping order put in. Thank you for a great party Dana!
