A Simple Hello

A simple "Hello" is so nice to receive sometimes - isn't it?

I thought so - and that is why my card today is just that.

I am on the Design Team over at Creative Clear Stamps and I think this is my best card yet with their amazing stamp sets!!

A simple hello spelled out using the stamp set "Sticks Alphabet"

This set contains 36 letters with duplicates of some of the most used letters - which made it easy to spell out the word "hello" - and for $12.99 that is bargain for this type of stamp set!!

I used scrap DSP to accent the phrase and a Stampin' Up! punch to detail the edges. Stampin' Up! Textured Cardstock top keep the stick like feel going...

I think this card is my new favorite...and think of all the other simple words or phrases I could spell with this one stamp set!!

You should hop on over the Creative Clear Stamps Blog HERE and become a follower!!!

BRAK - January

So for this month's round of BRAK - Birthday Random Acts of Kindness I decided to make some different cards instead of an assembly line like I ususally do!  I also decided to use scraps that I had saved to use later and just never used!  I think that is something I want to do more of this year - use what I have and not spend (we had to put in two transmissions, pay off a school debt sooner than expected, and some other mis-fortunes along the way). I am putting my self on a spending freeze so I can catch back up - but don't feel bad for me at all...you should see what all I have to work with!  I have my own little store!
But anyways - back to the point here...I made these cards to give and now I am not sure if I want to! Isn't that just typical??!!

Ink: {Ippity}

DSP: My Minds Eye (I think)

Cardstock: Georgia Pacific

Cardstock : Randome Brown Scraps

Stamp: Let Them Eat Cake - Stampin' Up!

Embellishments: Large Eyelets - Stampin' Up!

There will be more of these cards this week!!

*******CHALLENGE NEWS*******

Members of TUIC and any others that want to participate - There will be a challenge next week with prizes for those in the group and another prize for those outside of the group - SO FUN!!!

Oh Look! Another Swap!

I think these swaps make me feel like I can cook! :)

Don't forget Blog Candy announcement coming, new blogs rolls, and I am going to be visiting blogs today! I need to catch up sooo bad!

Welcome Back!

I'M BACK!!!

I got my computer to upload and work!!

Funny story...

We got our laptop back and I was so excited - until when you try and type stuff it just doesn't work. You press "a" and "as" comes on the screen. This happens with lots of keys - that is why the computer guy sounded frustrated - and he is not a professional just a friend - so we are just going to roll with it...

I decided to try my good ol desktop a try and it worked...knock on wood!

The card is from nothing other than a card kit...don't you love it?

Please don't forget to check out Fun-Frilled for great cards and a great contest!!!
