Let’s Ride

I like riding on the back of Motorcycles; no I don’t want to drive one. So to thank the friend who took me for a ride I made this card.

It is a digital stamp from Kenny Kiernan. I colored it with Copic and Prisma Pencils/Gamsol and a metallic pen. I went with gray cause his bike is gray. The inside of this card says “WEEEEEEEEEE!”

 

It has been a ride since I last posted here. My cousin was injured cleaning his gun. My brother suffered Hypoxia and is now in a nursing home but from January to now its been a long hard ride watching him suffer. Several other friends are seriously ill.

Through all of it my stamping buddies and Jesus have sustained me!

The Flower Soft Principle

IF you have ever taken Flower Soft out of its container and tried to put it back you will understand what I’m about to tell you. It is nearly impossible to do.

 

  I have spent the past week moving my craft room from a smaller space to a larger one. So why is it that all the stuff from the smaller space does not have places to go in the larger room. I even took the opportunity to go through my stuff and weed out things I didn’t need or want any more. Oh well I think I just need to organize better.

Blessings!

It has been a week of blessings. First my boss gave me a Brighton Heart Hair Clip. And then a blogging friend made me an embroidered bag see, her blog here. Thanks Audrey! And lastly my friend and stamping pal Judy gave me an HP Laserjet 1200! So many blessings. I know God was reminding me that even though this is a difficult time for me right now, I am still blessed and highly favored! Thank you Sharon, Audrey and Judy for letting God use you! I give Him praise for your generosity toward me!

In the Hands of the Creator!

Stampaway My take

I think this year’s Stampaway was over all good. I’ve been at this awhile so some things seemed repetitious to me; Like Outlines’ booth mostly devoted to the stamping jewelry; but hey if it sells by all means sell it. What was new for me was being able to get some dies from Europe. I bought 2 butterflies and an Oval set made by Marianne and Nellie Snelling, in the Sweet Stamps booth. Learned that there are 67 Cover-a-card stamps by Impression Obsession and they sold out of a lot of them this show. Found a Miles Davis stamp in DP ARTworks; but some how over looked two tribal ones that a friend bought. Lucky for me she brought them over when she came to play on Monday!

I bought stamps from Loralie Designs and her booth was fabulous.

These are a few photos from the samples in her booth.

Here is what I did with Her Lazy Fairy stamp I was playing with:

Her stamps have such “attitude”. Teresa said they are sassy and they sure are!

Teresa came from Atlanta and while here showed me a technique with napkins, I used it for the floral elements with the fairy. Below I used a napkin as the background for the new die from Our Daily Bread and their stamps

This one includes one of the oval dies from Nellie Snelling. I have not finished this one yet.

 

Thanks to all my friends especially Rena, Bonnie, Teresa and Pat Hobson who made Stampaway much more of a blast!

 

It’s All Good!
