Last night the Paper Pretties group had thier monthly Stampin In Your Jammies Night. It consists of three challenges. This was the first challenge which was a sketch challenge. I think cruisabella is one of my favorite bella's. I like how my bella came out. We are waiting to see who won. It was my first square card also.
Guess what I won the sketch challenge!
Over the last several months I have been searching for the best adhesive. I think I have finally found it. I just joined a new Yahoo group and was reading Rochelle's blog and this is one of her favorite adhesives. It was also the consensus of the group that they all really liked this adhesive also. Scotch's Quick Dry Adhesive now sits upside down on my stamping table. I love it. It tries fast so not much redoing time. My next favorite adhesive is my SU Snail adhesive. I need to clean up my stamping table, cut card stock for my class, make the kids birthday invitations and get ready for Stampin In Your Pajamas with my Paper Pretties friends. I am excited because my friend Kristen is participating tonight. It is so much fun. I will let you see what I create tomorrow.
One of the challenges on SCS was the Cracked Glass technique. I have been wanting to use SU's Garden Whimsy set. I also used Tagger's Dozen set. The colors are Orchid Opulence, Yoyo Yellow, Only Orange, Pixie Pink and Green Galore. This is going to be one of the cards for my August class. Well I am off to work today. Hope I can stamp some when I get home.
I really miss stamping the last couple of days. We are going to Phoebe's Birthday party across the lake so hopefully I can get some stamping done when I get home. Yesterday I received this RAK from Stephanie who lives in Canada and is the Paper Pretties RAK group. I think I might need to get this Bella. Thanks Stephanie.
Yesterday I was not able to stamp because I was at my mom's house. Last week I walked outside to put out the garbage and this is what I saw. It was beautiful. My camera does not capture the many, many pinks and purples we saw but you can get the idea. Well I am off to work this morning.
Old Olive, Regal Rose and Pretty in Pink make a great color combination. This card was made for the SCS Color Challenge. I used the SU Looks like Spring stamp set. My good friend Barbara stopped by the house while I was making this card and added a few of her touches to the card. Thanks Barbara.
I made this card for the Limited Supplies Challenge. It is very simple. I used the SU Solemn Stillness stamp set. I am going to make this card for the Soldiers Angels card day. One day in August several of my friends are coming to my house and we will be making several cards for the troops. It should be alot of fun.
When SU came out with the Polka Dot and Paisley set I was not really crazy about it. However it has really grown on me. I really enjoyed using it on this card. The colors are Wild Wasabi, Regal Rose and So Saffron. I like this color combination. Well we are off to see Mimi for a couple of days. I will try to post at Stephanie's house.
Analynn picked the winner of my first Lagniappe giveaway and the lucky person is Dawn. I will get your goodies out to you this week. Congrats girlfriend. It is most appropriate that Dawn won because she and Kristen have been the most encouraging in my new blog endeavor. Here is a beautiful RAK that Kristen sent me. She has sent me 3 RAK already. She is a great friend! Thanks Christie for enabling us to meet in the Paper Pretties Yahoo group. Well I am off to finish Phoebe's thank you notes for her Birthday. Happy Birthday Phoebe!
Alright my favorite number is 8. As of today I have received over 800 hits to my new blog so it is time for a little LAGNIAPPE! I will be sending one lucky reader some Zatarains Fish Fry mix, Community Coffee & Chicory and some Camellia Red Beans. All are a favorite of most New Orleanians. Plus I will include a little surprise Lagniappe. All you have to do is leave a comment answering a few questions. Do you live in the New Orleans area or have you ever visited New Orleans? What is your favorite thing about New Orleans? I have lived in the New Orleans area all my life(40 Years). My favorite thing about living in New Orleans is the people. You can go anywhere and everyone is your friend. When you are waiting for a Mardi Gras parade by the time it has finished passing you have become friends with everyone on the block. Leave your comments by Sunday at Midnight and will pick a winner on Monday morning.
