Life is Beautiful

Well the weekend is almost over and back to the grind tomorrow.  I went to my stamp club yesterday and had a great time.  We did a technique called emboss resist.  I loved the stamp French Script, I have to get it.  I also like the set Always.  I also found out this weekend what "case" means.  I was telling a friend that I did not like the word "case" when someone elses card has inspired you.  Well, she emailed me and said, "case" means, "Copy and Share Everything".  Case isn't such an awkward word when you use it like that.  I also learned a great technique.  I ordered a few stamp sets from Waltzingmouse Stamps and when I was using a stamp from the Vintage Banner, it was not coming out clean.  There were blotches on my paper.  So I put a message on facebook and I got two great tips.  One said to rub the stamp with an adhesive eraser then clean it.  The other tip was ink the stamp with veramark first and then ink it with the ink pad.  I did this and it really works.  When I finish that card, I will post it.  Here are the two cards I made at my stamp club this weekend.

This card was made with the stampin up set called always.  We used the scallop punch, pinking heart punch and the circle scallop punch.  Great card!

This card was stamped with the French Script stamp and the sentiment is from the style beautiful.  We used the top note, large oval xlarge punch, decorative label punch, and the crumb cake seam binding.

Baby Card

I made this card for a co-worker who is having a baby girl.  I really love the wild card cartridges.  I use this one a lot.  If you are looking for a cartridge to make cards, I really think this is the one to get.  I will post a graduation card I made for my daughter later.  Check out my splitcoast stampers, I made the same card for a baby boy.  Here is the link for the baby girl card:  http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1974625?&cat=500&ppuser=138376&perpage=96&thumbsonly=0

Paper Doll

My grand-daughter is in headstart and she brought home some homework.  It was to decorate a paperdoll to look like yourself.  Well, we made it a family affair and it really turned out cute.  She was so proud of it.  She was holding it in the car and said "my doll is going to be the prettiest".  I just said, "you don't know how everyone elses is going to look."  But, I was thinking to myself, it probably will.  Let's see what the teachers are going to say.....  Here is how the doll turned out.

Great Weekend

Wow, what a great weekend.  My birthday was Friday.  I celebrated with my daughter, husband and sister at BoneFish.  Then on Saturday my daughter graduated from North Carolina A&T.  What a great day it was.  She is still in disbelief that she does not have to write another paper or go to class or do her internship.  She was even more excited when she found out she made the deans list.   Yes Deatra it is over!!!!  Now onto another chapter of your life.   To top the weekend off, Sunday was Mother's Day.  We (husband and daughter) drove down to Charlotte from Greensboro, NC to have brunch with my mother, oldest sister, and neice at the Hilton Hotel.  Mmmm, the food was very good.  Now I am back home, trying to figure out where my daughter is going to store all her stuff!!!!  What a great weekend.
