Well...

 

I had thought Lissie was going to post today, otherwise I would have posted this sooner.  Liss is busy doing her "real" job today and unable to post.  Thank goodness I had something. :oP My sister-in-law's birthday is tomorrow.  Dana's favorite color is black and I had originally thought to do a tuxedo card.  But, I looked at this image, and I just knew I had to color those little falling leaves.  I wanted something unobtrusive and felt Blushing Bride fit the bill. 

Well, once I had that little pop of color, I knew I had to have it in a couple of other places as well.  :o)

I have to say I'm thoroughly enjoying the clear mount stamps.  In this instance, it allowed me to get the images stamped fairly uniformly without the aid of the SAMJ. 

 

I had resisted purchasing any more sentiments (I have SO many already), but saw "Curly Cute" and had to have them.  :sigh:  I have no willpower.  :oS  But, look what a sweet inside it makes! 

This card uses:

Stamp Sets: "Funky Four", "Curly Cute"

Papers: Basic Black, Whisper White, Blushing Bride

Inks: Basic Black, Blushing Bride

Accessories: 5/8" black satin ribbon, scallop trim border punch

Let's hope she likes it!

Oh My

 

I'm SO sorry it has taken so long to post a new card.  Things have been utterly crazy busy here and I FINALLY got some stamping time Saturday evening.  I'm going to try to do better in the coming weeks.  Fall is a busy busy time for us, as we are inevitably traveling to or from Blacksburg for football games and visits to the mountains in autumn.  

My evenings have been eaten up with chores and sick kiddos.  :sigh:

Anyhow, I had a chance to play with my "Funky Four" stamp set Saturday evening, and I LOVE the results!  I thought it was SUCH a fun stamp when I purchased it, but then could figure out NOTHING to do with it.  EEK!  I hate it when that happens. 

Then, without warning, an idea popped into my head and a light bulb went off.  :o)  This is for my nephew Miles.  He was nine and I thought, "What little guy wouldn't like mushrooms?"  I think they are cute cute cute.  As for that crooked sentiment, that will teach me to not get out my SAMJ and just think I can "wing it".  :oP

This card uses:

Stamp Sets: "Funky Four", "Happy Everything"

Inks: Soft Suede, Real Red

Papers: Whisper White, Real Red, Soft Suede

I'm still struggling without my flash.  I'm sorry the photos I'm going to be posting aren't so wonderful...:sigh:
