CTMH party with Becky

I had fun playing with some Close to My Heart (CTMH) stamps at Becky's last week.

SCS challenges made me do it

I realize I need some structure... So thank goodness to the Splitcoaststampers.com challenges. Here are a few I did for the SC297 (a given layout) and IC249 (Cost Plus Market pillow inspired).

Orange and Purple is my fav color combo

I needed guidance, so I went to the SCS challenge of the week and had a blast. Here are two cards to show for my 5 hours (blush) of playing. If you don't know what SCS is, here is my gallery there

Note, Curves has been one of the best things ever for me this past year, so of course I had to edit

Riley-girl moose to have her own Curves shirt. You go girl! PS. Today was the second day off my walking boot cast and my foot feels good!!! YAY! I even worked out yesterday at Curves and on the stationary bike today! Double YAY!!

Also, I've been playing at Lynda's in the past few weeks. She's been posting all sorts of my works that came about in our pow-wow.

Go to these links to read more about the adventures and to see Lynda's

great feats.

And lastly, the other card that took all day was a Tilda. Need to work on it some more, but here's what I have so far.

Finally back in the stamp saddle again

Finally back in the stamp saddle again- I even got a teeny little stamp in the past year (!?) that says that. Here are some of my current cards. The first theme was to use the little critters stamps. The wishing well is one of my fav stamps and way too underused. And the lotus flower is a heat embossed and copics marker colored. The lotus stamp is a G-Studio (Michael's $1) clear stamp. I have troubles getting a good image with pens or ink on the clear G-studio stamps and am glad that the embossing worked.
