Cool Beans!

In cleaning out my crafting closet I can across some old card kits from my swapping days. I decided I had enough in me to do one before I should start cleaning again.

I believe that the paper is retired Stampin' Up! all the way (cardstock and designer), and the stamp is from?? SORRY! I liked how I layered the ribbon on top of cardstock for a nifty look...go me for a good idea (that many people have done before!).

Plus the thought of a good cup of coffee (LOVE ME SOME STARBUCKS) and I had to do this card!

Last Week Fun-Frilled Card!

Hello ladies - I wanted to share with you my Fun-Frilled Card from last week - it is from a card kit - MY FAVORITE!

I love the plaid sooo much! I hope you all bounce over to see all the wonderful cards!!

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!!!

Hug the one you are with!

Yes - Another Card Kit!

I am in a Christian Card Kit Swap and I do not want to offend any of the swappers in the group - but this one by far has been my favorite...I think mainly due to the colors....and I want this stamp set!

PLEASE don't forget to check out the Fun-Frilled website today as it is my day to hostess!

More Awesome Card Kits

Card kits I have received that I have been driving my husband crazy with because I had not used them yet!

This is the first Magnolia stamped image I have ever used!

Gotta love this stinking monkey!

I believe this may be a Whiff of Joy stamp? Look at my attempt to shade!

My second ever Magnolia image on a 5X5 card

And of course one of my new growing favorites - House Mouse!

Hug the one you are with girls!

BTW - Have you looked at the Fun-Frilled website lately?

These kits are from a montly swap on SCS

The inside of this one says:

"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the amster calls a butterfly."

Can you tell I love this layout??

Monthly Card Kit Swap

These are the cards (some variations due to ribbon shortages!) from a kit I received in a monthly card kit swap I am in on SCS! Not a stamp I would normally used so I was forced to work outside the box! Nice change of pace!

These were extras I will use for a card flood swap.

Hug the one you are with ladies!

Christian Card Kit Swap

Hug the one you are with!!

Card Kit Cards!

I am in a million card kit swaps and so I decided to spark my creativity with a few of the kits! Hope you like the outcome! I know one of the kits is from Susan Patten (spatton2001), but I can't remember the others!

I'm Back!

Sorry for leaving you without posts for a couple days..Abby had to get her finger drained at the ER (yes it was gross), school paper, doctors appointment, new ID card, and preadmintance forms....anything else? Thanks goodness not that I know of! HAHA!

The first card is a beautiful card by my friend Michelle (Inside My Own Private Idaho blog - link to the bottom left ). She always seems to make great cards without having to color an image (wink, wink..). My favorite colors to boot! She can be on my design team anytime!! Hey Michelle - Nascar in a week and a half!

These next two bella cards are for a year of bellas swap I am in...basically what that means is I am crazy because you have to make 13 of each card...the first one is for November...Nick said it is not one of his favorites but it was good...thanks hun for the encouragement! :) The second one is for June since that seems to be wedding season....now to finish up my January spot (3 different groups)...that one is stumping me!

Yet another swap for landscapes and nature...I totally CASED the card out of the splitcoast gallery from a lady who also CASED the card...I apologize that I did not get the name written down before Abby turned the computer off...sill girl - but a great card to steal!

Last but not least this was the card I made with the card materials I was given in one of my secret sister card kit clubs. Very festive!!

Hope you have enjoyed....Hug the one you are with!!!!

More Card Swaps!

This is for a card kit monthly swap I am in. KAcopan sent this month's and gave us a challenge of girly card with non-girly colors. I think I rocked this one if I do say so myself. I even used the extra card I had as an encouragement card for my boss who has been sick, but still manages to keep going...I love Talitha to death, but sometimes she needs to just stay home and get better...but her hard work ethic just won't let her.
Here are two Changito Cards I made for a swap I am in...love this stinking monkey...these are the only two stamps I have but that will change on Monday when I go to Hobby Lobby after my 36 week doctors appoinment. Who doesn't love using a coupon on their favorite thing?? These are the new BIC Mark It Markers I picked up...they are the knock off of the copics...I like them...but since I have never used copics I don't know what I am missing you could say...but I am okay with that!

Cards!

The first three are from a round robin card kit swap I participated in...The robot was from chandapie and the other two were from Cher2008 (both great members of SCS). The next two were for a Spring/Summer swap hosted by Deb_t (sorry about the pink turning out kind of blinding!). Chefabella was for a Year of Cards swap that I did where you will get twelve cards back...I love these ones becuase you get a card for every occasion this way! The House Mouse stamp was for brickhousecards House Mouse with a twist swap where you also gave three images with each card. Enjoy!
