A Good Goose

Today I have the day off from work due to Martin Luther King's holiday. My plan for the day is just to spend it how I want. Got my work done on Friday evening! No guilt here. So I want to get started on my valentine cards. I got some cute stamps from Rosie's Roadshow that are male and female geese. I made this card for my guy.



I used Versafine Onyx Black ink to stamp on to Cougar Opaque card stock.






I colored the stamped images in with Copic markers I used R39, G24,Y17, Y11,B9a, E33 and V12. I punched the corners with the ticket punch from Stampin Up and embellished the card with puffy heart stickers from K & Company.

I free-hand stamped the inside:
"Aren't you glad you found me!"

Club Cards

I am a member of Cincinnati Ink, a group of Rubber Stampers who meet twice a month out of Stamp Your Art Out in Cincinnati Ohio. Each meeting we trade 2 cards, one themed and one no theme. This meetings' theme was snow with glitter.

Here is what I made. I used my cuttlebug for the black and white one (no Theme), I love this toy. I can't take credit for the idea I saw it on some one's blog and finally had a use for the tiny embossing folder! Thanks!

The theme card is created on StarDream with Glitter Embossing Powder. Enjoy!

After The Christmas Rush

Christmas time is over now and I am sad to see it go. But is some ways I am glad to see it go too so that I can have more time to create without deadline.

I actually received a call from my Aunt asking where my Christmas card was, since she had not received it the day after Thanksgiving. In past years I sent my cards out the day before Thanksgiving so that they would arrive the day after the holiday. This year I was not as organized and I wasn't even sure I would get to send any out. Have you ever felt rushed during the holidays, I sure have. This is the card Aunt Mattie quilted me into making.

Well today I'm taking a "me" day and only doing the things I want to do! And so I learned to blog. Happy New Year from the Queen.
