Summer Afternoon......

When I got the stamp set from MFT I know I would use this Tree first.... and I did...

Really this could be used for just about any occasion or just a friendly Hi too.

this is the front......

and here's the inside.... I love this saying!

I though I would show you how I came to use the olive color on the tree...

I usually do a sample using a few different colors so it would give me an idea of the outcome... sometimes this works and sometimes it just looks compleatly different when its all done.

Anyway, this is my sample with the SU-Crayons colors I used.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

Kisses & Smooch!

Hi Everyone...

Will I finally ordered from Mo's Digital Pencils, I have received a Gift Certificate from Dawn from My Stamping Thyme, she had was asking for blog ideas and she picked 2 of us that left comments... I was just thrilled becasue I stop by her blog for a visit with every new post and several times for just fresh ideas... she is VERY talented.....

Anyway she is always using images from Mo's Digital Pencile, and I had never used any digital images so this was the perfect time to try some out... Today I am post a few I got and used on this cut "V" day card!!

Tell me what you think...???

This image is called Kisses, she is just so full of it, isn't she??

and this gal on the inside is called Little Smooch, she to is full of it too!!

Deep Sympathy

I don't know about you but Sympathy cards are the hardest for me....

It's for such a sad occasion and yet you want to bring them a smile too... it's just so hard to balance.

Last week a dear friend of mine lost someone very special to there family, they had to fly out of town and would be back later this week.  So I wanted to have something waiting for them when they got home. 

Here's what I did.....

This is the front... I popped up just the wing tips on the butterfly, and did the water color technique on the flowers.... you know when you color your stamp with pens and then spray mist on it and stamp a few times to get that look....I sprayed  then crumpled my seam binding with some Glimmer Mist and let it dry to get that crumbled look.

here's a close up......

and here's the inside....

I hope she smiles when she read it and remembers a happy time.

Here's what I used;

• Papers/ Creative Memories and SU
• Inks & Pens/ Close to my Heart- Desert Sand words and sponging, Vineyard Berry and Garden Green flowers
• Stamps/ SU-Nature Walk, My Favorite Things-Essential Sentiments, and Clearly Sentimental about Sympathy
• Punches/ MS-Woodland Branch
• Misc./ Glimmer Mist-Gold, Seam Binding by Hug Snug-Eggshell

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!
