Everyone needs this idea

Last week I was at Moms, ok maybe it was Monday this week but you know how time flies:) So I asked her for her wireless password and she had no idea what it was...there went the thought of me getting on my laptop in Minneapolis...thats cool but what I thought of was a friend of mines ETSY store. Rita Kegg is a very well known Angel with TAC and has created some perfectly fabulous items...I didnt have enough time to order one of her cute little books, so I stamplifted the idea and made this one! Here is Ritas link to where you can get your own. RITAS ETSY STUFF

The funny thing? I told you how my mom is simple and appreciates stripped down versions of everything...I thought this was clean and simple enough but she still wanted the ribbons off so that it would lay perfectly FLAT! ha ha ha...so I did that while I was there. Oh be sure to check out Ritas stuff, cause she has these cute little pages inside her books!!

Have a blessed day!

Moms birthday and my 12 cent card

This card I created for my Mom, for her birthday yesterday. I LOVE YOU MOMMY! Ok, I have a huge stamproom full of fun things, from ribbons, to eyelets and more. I could have layered ten things, piled on the cardstock and really done some big time art...but you know what? My Mom is a very simple person that loves the thought behind the art. She is great. I simply stamped the birthday wishes by coloring each word with a different marker, and then the bottom stamp is also colored with markers. I choose pink and orange to brighten her day! The limey colored green was for grass and stems. It almost looks watercolored:) Remember the trick is to color onto your stamps, then breathe l(ike you are trying to fog up the car windows as a kid) onto the stamp...THEN stamp onto your card.

Today I am off to Wisconsin for a fun weekend with my Angel friends. Thanks SARA for hosting us again! I am so blessed, GREAT friends and a family that has seen me take off 3 out of the last 4 weekends. Summer is a big time for that. One more in August to hop on over to Heathers, then I am home til January. Enjoy your weekend my friends, oh and remember to have a little fun every day!!!

Affordable options with limited supplies

First and MOST important...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! Although this is not the card for her, I am sharing birthday greetings today.

Many times I hear that money is tight. Heck, that is my own household as well. So today I am posting cards that I made just last night at my Stamping Night Out. I used the last of my retiring white core DCWV cardstock here in Apple Green. Its on our discontinued list and you can save big time til its all sold out.

This card was really fun, and features just one ink. Our BLACK NOIR palette pad which is a hybrid. That means I can use it on just about anything! It really is the basic pad for any stamping kit. And its only $6.50. I can appreciate that price. I also used my black cardstock which I do all the time. I used my Bind It All to notch the black cardstock. Here is another trick if you are cutting back on costs...buy a few of your fave things, and stick with them. I know that creativity comes from many options sometimes but hey, if you are afraid to cut into something new because of costs? Then you will surely play more when you are comfortable. Those beautiful papers are fun to collect, but really sharing them through your art? Now that is sure to send a smile to someone. Its all about taking the time to let yourself create!

Supplies:
V215 Black Cardstock $6.95 ( 25 sheets)
