TAWS #27 and Hello to 3 New Members

I have 3 new members to welcome to my blog. Wow - I am always excited when people join my blog. This is sooooo nice! 

Stempelgaudi - Moni

Julie Juhl - sorry, can't find a link


Go by and visit their blogs - there are lots of great finds there.

And as you may have seen - I have a welcome picture for all my Newbies:




I think for now I am sticking with nature photos, just because its still such a wonderful spring and everything is in bloom. This photo I took 2 years ago and it was slightly later in the year, so the tulips ere on their way out. But I still really like this tulip - past its prime, but still amazing.

Look at this inspiration photo! That is just up my alley - and its from the Alley Way Stamps challenge

                                                            

I just ordered some stamps from them - I could not resist their latest release, but they won't arrive in time, so I had to use the free digis. I have said this before - digital stamps are really not my thing - I only use them if I absolutely have to - like now.....So here is my take on it:



The colors are a bit brighter than I wanted, but I guess this poster is from the fifties and has aged a bit.....Who knows how this card will look in 60 years  - just kidding....

And as luck will have it - Addicted to CAS has a Rainbow challenge going on right now - of course I am entering this card!

OK, I usually don't swear, but some less than lady like words just came out of my mouth when I saw this awesome, jawdropping card (in a good way, if that's possible!). The narrowing rainbow (genius!!!) and the drama of the black background are just so AMAZING! Now I'll go wash my mouth out with soap!

Easter Egg and Bunny

Hi Everyone, I made a bunch of Easter cards, after all its little more than one month and I need to send them out in time... You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey. And here are bigger photos from this set: Linking up with Creative with Stamps - Easter The Paper Players - die cutting Die Cut Divas - animals Happy Little Stampers - anything goes with dies

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it. And here is a close -up: Challenges: Dynamic Duos CAS Colours and Sketches Addicted to Stamps and More Amusing Challenges Materials: Papertrey Background Basics: Super Stripes, Memory Box Chloe Stem die. --X-- Card for Maddy: You may know already about  Maddy ,  who  was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia and went through chemotherapy treatment followed by a stem cell transplant from her (then) fifteen year old sister Melanie.  She now has a relapse and this car

Mirror Image Stamping with So Suzy and the MISTI

Hi Everyone, I am so happy to be part of this wonderful event - the collaboration between So Suzy and the MISTI from My Sweet Petunia doing mirror image stamping.  This event is going on for the ENTIRE  MONTH! We are demonstrating the  Mirror Image Stamp    which coordinates with the Misti Stamping Tool! All month long, different bloggers will post a card using the  Mirror Image Stamp .  In my tutorial today, I will show you how use the  Mirror Image Stamp  on your cards. You can basically double your stamp supplies that way! The  mirror image stamp  is  a 4.25" x 5.5" piece of red rubber with no foam backing. So much larger than the other mirror image stamps out there and therefore much more useful!

Or you can see the same thing on my photo tutorial. With mirror
