So, now that the rain is here... and the heater is working (very nice!)... and it's "freezing cold outside" (42 deg F- is freezing to us in Aptos, CA) and I've cleaned up the crafting area... so, it seems some more cards might come sooner than later. Loving the creative feeling of fall.<br />
Thanks for looking!<br />

Rubbernecker Stamps has the most elegant people. I love how my Copics pens caught the beauty of these two images. The woman is called Jayla and the man is Will.<br />

My same friend told me a welcome baby card with the words Happy BIRTH day would be cute, so this is what I came up with.<br />
<br />

Michelle Zindorf inspired me to do this card. Here's had a cat on the sill. For mine, I inked the Tin Type embossing folder for the background sheet. And the stars are done with Versamark and clear embossing powder on the card before inking the sky. The window is Stampin Up's stainglass window die. And the stars are Stampin Up's Star of Light.<br />

I go to the Scrapbook Expo and then go home with wonderful stamps... and then proceed to forget about them. So we got together to play with our "forgotten" purchases one day and was pleased to make these three cards. The middle one used stamps from Local King and the sloth is Art Impressions.</div>

So... I was thinking that many of my stamps sucked, because they didn't pick up ink very well.... and then I realized it was the ink's fault. Let's just reveal now that I am very much so NOT A FAN of Stampin Up ink anymore. I discovered the Versafine Clair inks, got a bunch of Memento teardrops and all the mini distress inks.... and I feel like a whole new world has opened for me. </div>

Making 3D flowers with my new blossom flower mold... and even trying it with other stamps!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So that Heartfelt Creations class I took in August, led me to go on their website a few weeks later so I could use that generous 15% off coupon they gave me at the Expo </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and I ended up entering a contest.... and winning!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I ACTUALLY WON!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I picked up the package at the Post Office, I thought, oh no, did I drunk purchase this???!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nope.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I (and 3 other people) won an entire line of stamps, dies and tools from Heartfelt (~ $260 value). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's called Oakberry Lane Collection and has the CUTEST critters and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
most amazing tools to make 3D flowers. I am very grateful! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
THANK YOU HEARTFELT!</div>

Watch Emma Lou of Heartfelt make flowers two different ways...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1) the new fangled way with the Blossom Shaping Mold</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
or</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2) using a good old fashioned embossing tools</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(PS they donate 10% of their profits to the extreme poor- rather nice I think)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So... I didn't know I wanted the set nor the cool flower making tool until I got it and now I'm hooked!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's my first creation I did:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Aj69qpN6Fs/W6hq-MV36_I/AAAAAAAAjVI/_rv2X7BGDsgmdHXeRiKUPa4pG_5awd0GwCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20180921_232535801.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2Aj69qpN6Fs/W6hq-MV36_I/AAAAAAAAjVI/_rv2X7BGDsgmdHXeRiKUPa4pG_5awd0GwCKgBGAs/s400/IMG_20180921_232535801.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And here is my second creation.. for my friend who is fabulous grandma of a spunky 5 year old</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oJc0aVxFNdo/W6hq-FqKKfI/AAAAAAAAjVI/QaSPudlyI0EQY7OccivXwKAXAKS6odzcACKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20180921_172933523.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oJc0aVxFNdo/W6hq-FqKKfI/AAAAAAAAjVI/QaSPudlyI0EQY7OccivXwKAXAKS6odzcACKgBGAs/s640/IMG_20180921_172933523.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was inspired by the ideas on the Heartfelt website to come up with this... </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PHljLp55o7Q/W6hq-FrDSTI/AAAAAAAAjVI/Kb3pJwl0_Vc0zrDjupl3B3n9WGTIjXWdgCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20180921_223830392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-PHljLp55o7Q/W6hq-FrDSTI/AAAAAAAAjVI/Kb3pJwl0_Vc0zrDjupl3B3n9WGTIjXWdgCKgBGAs/s640/IMG_20180921_223830392.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is another batch of cards that came from the UK magazines that come with stamps. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This set is called Life's a Picnic and came with the Aug 2018 Make Cards magazine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The designer paper and stamps were all included. I love these critters. </div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rI2yLUo7TYY/W6hq-PvRvwI/AAAAAAAAjVI/F9ZF374kEyYV5zpAqcPVn2R4s4IbQCgBQCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20180922_082907635.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-rI2yLUo7TYY/W6hq-PvRvwI/AAAAAAAAjVI/F9ZF374kEyYV5zpAqcPVn2R4s4IbQCgBQCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_20180922_082907635.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another inspired card- using a die that cuts a bubbly window, some vegetation from SU's Sea of Textures and some fish, etc from a set I have. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Qqks76CpUE/W6hq-LKL4nI/AAAAAAAAjVI/NlJvV1jgAkAlhx4fu7qylkXt2xFao4MYwCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20180923_172319784.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7Qqks76CpUE/W6hq-LKL4nI/AAAAAAAAjVI/NlJvV1jgAkAlhx4fu7qylkXt2xFao4MYwCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_20180923_172319784.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card used SU Sea of Textures and by accident I used a Darice Zebra embossing folder instead of the SU water lines I wanted to use. Still turned out nice, I think.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3aE1gmsobro/W6hq-F7xlCI/AAAAAAAAjVI/gC3Kx3IUXmIJkH1JkHK5K5UWihVqZ1T8wCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20180922_205842706.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3aE1gmsobro/W6hq-F7xlCI/AAAAAAAAjVI/gC3Kx3IUXmIJkH1JkHK5K5UWihVqZ1T8wCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_20180922_205842706.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This card is using the otter and grass from the free stamp set "Go Wild" that came </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with the UK Creative Stamping Magazine Issue 57. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a StampScapes for the water and SU Delicate Details for the borders.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U8mmwlXqvjE/W6hq-FSK21I/AAAAAAAAjVI/edsi7uKs8SYUS7CE4hFyVUiFxaNOA-2GQCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20180922_221129324.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U8mmwlXqvjE/W6hq-FSK21I/AAAAAAAAjVI/edsi7uKs8SYUS7CE4hFyVUiFxaNOA-2GQCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_20180922_221129324.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>

I made this little candle holder using the old SU Matchbox die and the Delicate Lace Edgelits. I picked up battery operated candles at the Dollar Tree (2 for $1) and these will be given out at a memorial for my sweet sister in law next weekend.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This next card is another sunburst card... and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
here's how I glued all the "throw away" pieces down without having to piece it all together... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut the paper with the die cut, flipped it over and put liquid glue on the "throw away" pieces. </div>

I used a sketch challenge from SplitCoast (SC567) for this card and the one below. I like the geometric shape of the cut off . The DSP is SU! 2015 Into the Woods, the Embossing Folder is by Darice and the saying (an all time fave of mine) is from SU! World of Dreams. </div>

I used the SCS Color Combo Sketch for this one: CC557: Wild Cherry Sky.... And the little fox (from SU! The Wilderness Awaits) is under branches made from the big tree from SU! Lovely as a Tree. The little die cut words are from Elizabeth Craft.</div>

I've been making cards in all the free moments I have. Hoping to keep my growling down to a more manageable yip or small bark. :0 Also, I am starting up <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/cards-new-open-swaps-f426/new-open-monthly-themed-swap-club-t603923.html" target="_blank">a monthly 5+2 swap by mail through SplitCoastStampers.</a>.. and it's been fun receiving requests from folks wanting to join. So I thought I'd start off the club with my first theme that I will do "Welcoming Smiles". See the thank you cards below that I've send and will send. :)<br />

Again a day in the Judith Stamps booth at the Sacramento Scrapbook Expo... and I came home ready to play. I did the jumping frog card and then realized a see-through box for the frogs looking out on the envelope would be fun. These are just such wonderful stamps!! </div>

When I crocheted this one, I so thought of how my mom used to knit whenever she sat on the couch. I tried using real mini clothespins, but it got too bulky. So instead, I glossed the clothespins (hard to see in picture). Then I used the SU! Lattice Embossing Folder (retired now) to add more knit texture.</div>

Fun cards this past week- </div>
<div>
I wanted to use my new SU! Get Well Soup stamp and had this vision of making steam come off the bowl. To do this I used the new SU! Elegant Dots Embossing Folder in two different ways:</div>
<div>
1) To get the "steam" dots on the pink paper- I inked Wisteria Wonder onto the raised dots side of the embossing folder and then twisted it when I stamped the dots onto the pink.</div>
<div>
2) To get the white dots- I inked Wisteria Wonder onto the top side of the embossing folder and then ran white paper through it.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white;">Get Well Soup</b></span></div>

<br />
<br />
Inside the card, I put white paper and stamped Wisteria<br />
hearts from SU! Perpetual Calendar.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then for the bowl- I used a square make-up sponge and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
made angles with the sponging (see below)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Through the Woods</b><br />
I used the IO Cover-a-Card "Branches" (CC031 C-A-C)<br />
and my favorite little die cut town: IO "Haunted Hill" (Die 029P)<br />
I had fun figuring out how to put the village behind the branches... and came up with die cutting the village in white and in gray. Then I used the relief or top white piece and the town or bottom gray piece. Then I sponged a moon with a circle die cut on a post-it note... and then stamped the black trees over it all. The trick was to add a branch in front of the bell tower- I stamped the branches again on gray paper and cut out the main two branches and glued them on (they are the ones on the left reaching to the moon and going over the bell tower.<br />

Anywayyy.... Impression Obsession (IO) has me at it again... and <b>it's a challenge again: Happy Haunting! </b>Rule was only IO products. And it had to be new (no back-dating) and a few other rules. Go check out the challenge here:<br />
<a href="http://mitrafriant.typepad.com/impression_obsession_news/2015/09/new-challenge-happy-haunting.html">http://mitrafriant.typepad.com/impression_obsession_news/2015/09/new-challenge-happy-haunting.html</a> What I discovered is that I still don't have enough IO goodies... (time to go shopping?) .... in spite of this, I think I did pretty well. Check out my two creations...<br />
<br />
<b>Batty Thoughts</b><br />
I used the IO Cover-a-Card "Clouds" (CC091 C-A-C)<br />
again my favorite little die cut town: IO "Haunted Hill" (Die 029P)<br />
and IO Top Edger "Greetings" (Die 234-M)<br />
For this one I stamped the clouds in gray. And then sponged a moon yellow and some rust (masking the cloud first) and some of the surrounding sky with a navy blue. (The photo makes it all look too blue). Then I made a gray shadow of the town by gluing a black die cut of the town over a gray die cut. And sadly, I found I had no Halloween greetings by IO in my stash... so I decided Thinking of you and some bats could work. I like it... :)<br />

My second card is a little darling little 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inch card. I got the idea of cutting off stuff from the Haunting Hill and using the church and house as something not Halloween from Cindy at the Impression Obsession booth at the Rubber Stamp Convention a few weeks ago. So many ideas have been flowing in since... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The house and tree are parts of the bigger landscape die called Halloween Hill <a href="http://www.iostamps.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=DIE029-P&Store_Code=IOSTAMPS&search=hill&searchoffset=&filter_cat=&PowerSearch_Begin_Only=&sort=&range_low=&range_high=" target="_blank">DIE029-P</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The snow is just dots using my new Sharpie White Extra Fine Point Water-Based Pen- worked great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The scallop square is from some old scrap Stampin' Up! Paper</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sorry, I can't remember where I got the little words "Merry Christmas" from. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best thing is that all the IO dies cut sooooo well! I love how they are made and work so well. Thanks Impression Obsession!</div>

I've been inspired again... this time by an Impression Obsession Cover-A-Card Stamp called <a href="http://www.iostamps.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Store_Code=IOSTAMPS&Screen=PROD&Category_Code=1NEW&Product_Code=CC101" target="_blank">Pine Trees</a> Here's what that stamp looks like:<br />

<br />
<br />
These sunrise pictures were from two days ago and the fog pic was taken by my son not long ago. These are common sights. Nice.<br />
<br />
And below is the card I made... "Trees Through the Fog"<br />
<br />
The rolling fog is done by daubing different hues of gray ink on the edge of a torn piece of paper shaped to look like rolling hills. To get the layered effect, you have to play around and re-position it a bit.<br />
<br />
To make the trees look darker- more like shadows- I double or triple stamped them. The trees are are from 3 companies:<br />
1) Stampin' Up! Lovely as a Tree<br />
2) Ink-adink-ado<br />
3) Rubber Stampede<br />
I drew in the little tree tips because it was hard to get the stamps to work. My son thinks I should take an art class, because I have potential- awww... Hmn, maybe.<br />

The other inspiration came from the SplitCoastStampers Challenges- just gotta love how they help get the creative juices flowing!<br />
<br />
The sketch was to use layered die cuts <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=all&si=TLC509&what=keywords" target="_blank">TLC509</a>... Here are my works of art:<br />

Here are a few of my inspired works...<br />
<br />
Soda Can Butterfly<br />
<a href="http://www.scrapbookusaca.com/" target="_blank">Tessler Stamps</a> had a great demo once again at the convention for this... but when I got home and wanted to do it... I couldn't find a video on it anywhere... so after a dozen failed attempts today, I figured it out. Then I videotaped how to do it and loaded it to YouTube so next time I won't forget how! Check out my video here.... <a href="http://youtu.be/JLMkGSt_Pow" target="_blank">Soda Can Butterfly by Makani</a> (and if it helped- vote you like it!)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And you will see how to make some lovely butterflies...</div>

The second inspired work was from the <a href="http://www.iostamps.com/" target="_blank">Impression Obsession</a> Booth- love your work Kallani Allred and all your help Cindy! I bought a lovely Cover-A-Card background stamp of a winter scene and some wonderful die cuts of little deer, a window with panes, and some phrases that pop up... to create this. (Note, the background paper was made with 2 stamps and 3 colors- thin stripes 2x and a vine stamp.)</div>

It was a 10-minute card I made for a special person in my life. The stamp set is a retired Stampin' Up! set called Just Buzzin' By. (<a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2582297?&cat=500&ppuser=91627" target="_blank">link to the SCS Just Buzzin' By album and my card</a>)</div>

And lastly, she told me about her little doggies. One of which loves to have her hair blown dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I had to use a couple of doggies from Ailee Busby's Paw Prints.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She said these dogs were just like her doggies. Nice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These two cards took me all afternoon and into the night... but it was so much fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And both of the women loved their gifts!</div>
