Today was SOS (Sisterhood of Scrappers) at
Paradise Scrapbook Boutique it's always a fun day with people who share the love of paper. Yesterday while my computer was updating to Windows 7, I cut the sunflowers from my newest Spellbinder Die - Sunflower Set Two. At the time I was cutting, I really had no plan, other than to use up some of my scraps. Today I packed up my craft bag and threw the sunflowers in, just in case I had time to work on them. Not only did I find the time, this card is the only thing I did today. OK....not the only thing, we chatted and laughed and shared our projects with the others. Everyone was busy working on albums, while I struggled (and yes, I do mean struggled...with this card. When I finished....I gotta say....I love it.
Karen shared a doily that she had, it was a bit big, so I cut it to size and seamed it with the ribbon. A perfect addition....thanks Karen! The papers were all purchased from her shop the flowers are all scraps from Bo Bunny. I don't remember the name of the stripe paper, of course I cut off the title strip....and now I can't find it. The ribbon and butterfly are also from Paradise Scrapbook Boutique. The sentiment is from a stamp by Annette Allen Watkins. The flowers and the edges of the papers were all chalked using Color Box - Pumpkin.
That's it for now.....Enjoy the card. Tomorrow I'll be trying to figure out why my scanner won't work with Windows 7 and I'm going to install the newest version of Funtime for my Gazelle. Keep your fingers crossed....I'm not very good at this technical stuff....I just want it to work, I don't care how it works (Sorry all you tech folks....but think of it this way...I'll keep you all employed!)
Have a wonderful week! It's supposed to be 100 plus by Thursday....a great time to stay inside and play with paper!
See you later!
Hello,
I made this gift card and envelope for my daughter's friend. It was a good time to try out my BossKut Gazelle The card was perfect for this weeks's C.R.A.F.T Challenge. 
My goal for the past two years has been to color all my rubber stamps and catalog them in my computer. Last night I colored this one. It is a Hook's Lines and Inkers stamp. Cute little sunflowers. Today I saw this challenge: Stamp Simply #148 . I just found this fun Wednesday challenge: For Fun. http://forfunchallenges.blogspot.com My favorite way to color is using my Tombow markers and water pens. I also use Tim Holtz Distress inks. Googled Hook's Lines and Inkers and couldn't find anything. I'm thinking I must have a collectible stamp. A very cute one!
My buddy Carolyn celebrated her birthday a bit early....so, today on the actual date of the wonderful event....I say: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a wonderful person and a great friend. 
A few of us got together to celebrate at Applebee's. Great lunch! 
This is the card I made. I love this stamp, Art Impressions U-1552 - from 1996. So, you ask....do I have any new stamps? Define new! Well, yes I do, but I sure do love my old ones too. And since most of my friends are over 50, this stamp fits all of us perfectly! It was stamped on water color paper using Staz-On ink and clear embossed. Water colored using Tombow markers. and yup...there's a Spellbinder label!
