Theme Challenge - Soul Scrappers

The challenge was to create a layout using stamps. I used the Stampin' Up! set "Lovely as a Tree" on vanilla cardstock. I first used several colors of stamp pads with my brayer. The pictures were made a couple of years ago at one of our timeshare visits. Heather and Billy enjoyed the archery equipment.

Spring-Summer 2009 Stampin' Up! Catalog

I've been waiting patiently for my new SU! catalog and today it came! I've skimmed through it and there are some great new stamps and cool ideas. I can't wait to order some new stuff.

There is a Hurricane a comin'

Thought I'd added this card before I lose power...I know, it's early but Billy woke me up checking the weather. I did this card last night using the "Solemn Stillness" stamp set and new SU In Colors Kiwi Kiss and Riding Hood Red. I also added a little Gold embossing powder and some non-SU hemp.

That bad weather isn't supposed to get here until about noon so maybe I'll have time to make some more cards today and post them too!
Ok...I'm back! We lost power from 10am to 11am for no particular reason....probably some dead tree fell on a line! There are a lot of dead trees out here in the country! I finished up another card during the outage! Not much light in the scrapbooking room but, I made due. This was made with the "Wishing you Cheer" and "Frosty" stamp sets, scallop punch, Kiwi Kiss and Very Vanilla cardstock and a piece of printed paper, deck the halls by create, Kate.

One More Card

I've been in a real mood for anything fall and winter! Maybe it's all the stuff they've already put out at Wal-Mart. I love to decorate my dining table for fall. Little gourds that look like pumpkins, ceramic pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns, mini bails of hay with little stuffed scarecrows perched on top! I even bought new dishes to set the table with. I can't wait to gather all that stuff from the attic and place it around the house. But first, it needs to cool off a little so I'm not so dreading the heat in the attic. Maybe after Ike passes we will have a few cool days and I can get up there...or better yet, I could send DH to fetch my boxes of goodies!!! That's the plan. I'll post new pics of the dinner table tomorrow!

I just made this little "Thinking of You" card. I did say I was in the fall mood!! I made this with cardstock from the Earth Elements color family using the Greetings Galore stamp set and my trusty Stampin' Write markers. I think it's kinda cute!

New In Colors from Stampin' Up

I just got my first order of the new In Colors from Stampin' Up and wanted to start out with a couple of Christmas cards. This card was made using the Big on Christmas stamp set with Riding Hood Red and Kiwi Kiss cardstock and KK ribbon. I stamped Happy Holidays on the inside in RHR with the stamp from the Frosty stamp set. I used the new Border punch stamp from Stampin' Up!





This next card was made with the In Colors from Stampin' Up and the same cute Big on Christmas stamp set. I used Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, and Baja Breeze cardstock with RHR ribbon.
