Speed Stamping!!


For those of you who know me...I am not a speed stamper. But I was lucky enough to spend some time with one. So I challenged a group of friends to speed stamp this week end. These cool cats were images I received from a swap image exchange. I knew that they would be the best images to use on multiples of cards. I colored them in with copic markers. ( I love coloring with the copics!!) I can just add a sentiment as needed.
I will be stamping tonite as I watch the Oscars...so I can speed stamp another set of cards.
Happy Stamping!!

Thinking of Spring

I just needed to make a Spring card today. My friend Lana sent me some stamped images with the bird stamp and I just think they look ready for spring! The sun is shining and although it is still winter...I am thinking spring. I am going to speed stamp today. My goal is to make 25 cards this weekend.
This card was my first card of the day. Now on to speed stamping.

Get Well Soon Envelope Pouch

I made another pouch and this time I added a little box I made that holds a travel size of pocket tissues. I hope everyone is feeling better..it seems that the cold and flu season has hit about everyone I know.

Feeling Groovy!!

I did a challenge for Try a Technique
on the Splitcoaststampers Challenge forum today. This was so fun to make. It is an envelope pouch. Now I am ready for spring. I think I will make these for May day baskets.
Happy Stamping everyone!!

Cheers!!!

I have had these stamp images for so long and decided to give it a try. This is a 6 by 3 inch card.
I used Basic Gray paper on it. I pierced holes on the top and the bottom to add some texture. Why is it when you take a picture...it looks like the paper isn't stuck? Thanks for stopping by!!

Coffee with Riley

I just love coloring in this moose. Love him to pieces. Who wouldn't want to sit down and have a cup of coffee and a cupcake with him? I also love putting the wider ribbon on cards. This was a fun card to make. If you would like to add Riley to your stamp collection, just head over to Joy and Daisy's eP.

Its a 4 day Weekend!!!

This card looks like all of us leaving work today....It is a 4 day weekend for me and wow is that gonna mean some stamping time!
I was gifted the image from my friend HB. I colored the bugs with copics. I used the SU photo corner punch to embellish the matted image. Of course, buttons with fiber, are a favorite embellishment to use.

Isn't that the cutest little suitcase you've ever seen? It was a gift from my mom for Christmas. I just love it. Thanks, mom, everytime I look at it, I think of you.

Today was Valentine's Day at school. Here is my Everything I Ever needed to know, I learned in Kindergarten story. One of the boys was passing out his valentines and he had definitely hand picked each one special for his friends. He would make a comment to each friend. I just LOLed when he said to one of the boys, You get the funny one!!! And without skipping a beat, the boy just started howling with laughter. So, if your friend says, here is something funny...take time to howl with laughter. You will feel good and so will your friend.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Riley is in the House!!!

I was lucky enough to go to a Girlfriend Stamping Get Away last weekend and stamped some images from that weekend. I colored Riley with copics. Then this weekend, while I was shopping for Valentines at Wally World, I came across these St.Patricks mugs and a bag of the New color of Love of M and M's.

Added some new blogs to my list

It has been quite the day. I have added two new blogs to my list of favorites: HB and Lana's blog.
For some reason, my camera will not download any pictures...so until I can figure that out....keep checking back.
I added a counter to my blog. I was always wondering if anyone stopped by. I really think it is cool that you would visit.
I will try to figure out the downloading issues and get some pictures on here...ASAP!!
