True Love

Yes, I'm still here! This is so hard for me to say, but I've been neglecting my stmaping lately. I know, I know, I should be ashamed. I am so wrapped up in my cruise... Oh! did I tell you I'm going on a cruise with some of BFF'S in June. I am so STOKED! I've been shopping for my wardrobe, tanning, pedicures and all that girlie fun stuff. My BFF loves horses and actually has 2 of her own. You can't begin to imagine how many horse stamps she has. I fell in love with this beautiful stamp myself and had to have it. This stamp is TrueLove by Coronado Island Stmaps. It stamps out beautifully and I colored it with my prismacolor pencils. The DP is Webster's Pages. The ribbon is actually a torn strip from a piece of fabric I had in a fabric stash. Hope you enjoy this card. I would like to take a sec to give a shout out to my talented stamping friend in Henderson - Vivra. Hey, Vivra! Enjoyed visiting with you and always love you sharing your art with me.

Seize the cupcake

I made this card for a shoebox shuffle I participated in at BStamps & Stuff in my hometown of Longview. This was my first shuffle and I had a blast. This really cute cupcake and sentiment is from Hero Arts. So fun and festive! I colored the cupcake with my prismacolor pencils and added sparkle with stickles. Great stuff!
Don't you just love the bright fun colors? The colors remind me of summer. Bring on the sun! Yesterday and last night was quite chilly here in East Texas. Too weird! I guess not for East Texas. Enjoy your day!

Dreamin....

I think we are all dreaming of those warm summer days. Wouldn't you just love to sit there and bask in the glorious sunshine. It does sound SWEET! About mid July and into August when it's 100 degrees here in Texas, I'll be wishing for cold weather. I'm so hard to please! As usual I used my beloved prismacolor pencils on this card. My BFF gave me this image, so I don't know who made the stamp. The DP is Pebbles Inc. You can get all of these supplies at BStamps & Stuff in Longview.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Easter

Hello! Can you believe it, I'm posting again. Maybe I'm on a roll. This card is for a "Stamper's Night" card swap coming up in a couple of weeks (yes, I have mine made early)at my local stamp store. The little happy bunny is from Art Impresssions. I colored that cutie with my prismacolor pencils. The "Happy Easter" is from Inkadinkado. You've got to check Inka out! They are always releasing such wonderful new stuff. I appreciate you stopping by!

First watercolor

This darling cupcake is my first time water coloring. This fun,cute cupcake and sentiment is from Hero Arts. When I saw "seize the cupcake" I had to have it! The small flower print DP is Frances Meyer's Jardin Bleu and the harlequin pattern is daisyd's Foulard-Ocean Lime. Look Closely! You can see I used my Spellbinders rectangle nestabilities, along with my new wizard. Too Cool! For some sparkle, of course, I used stickles. That stickles is some awesome stuff!
I want to take a minute and say "Hello" to one of my BFF'S over in Louisiana- Denise Barteet. Denise, thank you for your warm, generous, loving heart.
Hope you visit me again!

Texas Bronc

I can make cards using other stamps other than Paper Inspirations. Really! Here's one I made a little while back using Deadbeat Designs stamps. I love these of course being a native Texan. You can get these at my friend's stamp store "BStamps & Stuff" in Longview, TX. BStamps has a great selection and she's going to have a booth at Canton Trades Days this coming weekend. If your up that way check her out. She will have some Deadbeat Designs in some really awesome kits. You will get the stamp/stamps, markers or pencils, embellishments, and all the paper necessary to make 6 cards. Really a great deal! Sheela and I will be holding down the fort in Longview for her, so if you can't make Canton, come see us! Gotta go (Texan talk) do some errands today. See ya later (more Texas talk)! hehe

Late Valentine

I know Valentine's Day is gone, but I just have to share this one with you. I made this card for a swap and my husband. This card is from our baby girls to Daddy. I printed the heart shaped photos from a software program and then just matted them on black and red cardstock. The DP and ribbon is from Hobby Lobby. The hugs and kisses stamp is a Stampendous stamp. I just LOVE this card and so did my hubby. He even put it on his desk. Can't believe it! I know it has been awhile since my last post. I've been so busy making cards for Paper Inspirations. Thanks for stopping by. Please come again, I will try really hard to have more frequent posts. :)
