In the spirit of trying to use up some of my many many accessories, I cased this card from the SU catalogue. Quick and simple but cute.
We got back a couple days ago from a trip to SanFrancisco. Quite an interesting place! We had a really nice time and had great weather. Now it's back to reality and back to school in only 3 more sleeps. Once school starts I will have a much more regular schedule at the gym which will be great...to many 12+ hour days there this summer! And I hope to get back up to my studio a little more often.
I made this card last week. The flowers are from a Mother's Day set that was in a mini catalogue this year. I used up some DSP in Perfect Plum. The ribbon is black. Coloured with Pale Plum, Perfect Plum, and Regal Rose.
Today is Friday and I am so happy! I work some pretty long days at the gym and by Friday I am so tired. Lots to do this weekend though, as we leave on Tuesday for a week in SanFrancisco! We've never been and are all excited to go!
This video is of my 8 year old daughter, Jenna, at our gym. She is stunting with Mitchel, one of our coaches and a member of the the Edmonton Eskimos Cheer Team. The team trains at my gym and I work as the promotions coordinator for the team. My partner at the gym coaches the team. The guys at the gym are all so awesome to the younger kids. This was Jenn's first day trying this particular skill...pretty good for an 8 year old! :) If you live in the Edmonton area and you are interested in more information on my gym visit www.perfectstormathletics.com!
This is such a fun stamp set! I used the masking technique to put the bottom scoop on - stamped the top one first, then placed the mask over top and stamped the bottom. I really like how the top one turned out and I love the colours. Not my usual colours - Apricot Appeal and Pumpkin Pie but they look great with the Chocolate Chip!
The title of this post reminded me of a funny cartoon I saw several years ago. Instead of an ice cream truck there was a pic of an asparagus truck with the phrase: I cuss, you cuss, we all cuss for asparagus! The caption: Failed marketing ploys. Makes me giggle every time I think of asparagus!
This set has been sitting unmounted for quite some time but a friend of mine had a baby boy on Friday so I was inspired to mount and use it. I am trying to use up some of my retired DSP as well as buttons and brads. I seem to hoard them for some reason! But no more! Every card must have a brad or button on it for the next 6 months and then I might be close to using half of them up! LOL! The colour is Bermuda Bay with Chocolate Chip.
I made these a few months back and this set is now retired but I still love this stamp! Makes such a cute baby card. I just placed a new stamping order and got some stuff from the new Holiday mini! It's got some great stuff in it! It starts September 1. I hope to get up to my studio in the next day or so to play...maybe tomorrow since it sounds like it's going to rain.
It's been so long since I last posted...I can hardly believe how much time has gone by! I have been so busy with the new gym that I have literally not had a second to think about anything else until recently. The gym is going really well and is so much fun and now that we have almost a month of operation under our belt I feel like I can breathe again. It's sad that summer is half over but I am looking forward to a holiday in a couple of weeks and to doing some stamping and scrapbooking again! My studio is pretty much a disaster zone...last room in the house to get a major overhaul. That is next weekend's job. The cards I am posting today are a simple and fun layout that I love. And this stamp set is just so cute. This is my favorite one form the set "A Flower for All Seasons". I have some new sets that need to be mounted and are calling for some ink! Can't wait to use them and get back into this awesome hobby!
