THINK PINK!!

There is a 16 year gap between my eldest brother and myself and a 5 year gap between my other brother and myself. My mom was quite shocked to find herself pregnant at 42 and fighting breast cancer for the second time in 4 years. When I was born, the doctor asked my mom what did she think she had and she said- "oh doctor another baby boy." "Nope ya got a fat and sassy little girl, Florence" was his response. Well... after an entry like that who can blame my mom for never dressing me in anything other then pink!!

My mom went on to beat the cancer a second time and lived to the ripe age of 90!!These cards are for you mom!! And also for you Margarita!!

INTERACTIVE BIRTHDAY!!

I just had to show you all 2 birthday cards I received this year from my good buddy Bevy B. and Claire my awesome StampinUp rep. I love these cards cos' they are interactive and I would never be able to make them. Just think of the time that goes into making a card like these!! All I can say is-"they must like me!!' "they really really like me!!"

VIDEOS by Sue T.

This is my first attempt at a video. This is just a test. Don't laugh although I did a bit of laughing myself. Hopefully the next ones will be a bit slicker and with some good info. Let me know what you think!

Dyeing with my Cuttlebug

I meant die cutting in case any of you were worried....... I spent the last two days playing with my hardly used die cuts, nestabilities and embossing folders with just a pinch of stamping. The bird card will be my swap card for the Paper Craft swap at CKC at the end of July. I just made 20 of them.

Gotta say though I really like the butterfly card and am going make it in pink ( for you Margarita)

Hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend.

This is why I stand when stamping!!

Happy 4rth of July Everyone!!

Simplify

Claire who is my StampinUp rep has taught me something since I met her. She probably doesn't even realize it. She is teaching me to simplify my stamping. Each time I am at a party that Claire is doing she teaches us a couple of quick cards. They are alway simple yet wonderfully creative.

Even though I teach "less is more" to others, I find this concept very hard in my own stamping. My cards have to have layers, cut outs, embellishments, gems etc etc.

So when I made some card samples for Claire this week, I tried to simplify. I used the curly punch and stamp set from StampinUp for the samples.

I think we are all so busy in our lives running here and there, we need to take time to smell the roses and simplify our lives.

OH NO not another cat picture.......

Not much to share art wise today- lots of Quest projects being completed and ya know.... ya gotta check out the Stamper's Quest web site to see them.

You all here about Miss Pinkie all the time, but I do have other kitties.

Here is our Winky- although he has several names. He was christened Wilkie- but that changed to Winky and then sometimes Stinky.

Next is the crazy Zephry and like her name she is like the wind, fleeting and ephemeral. I call her my half cat as she is only home from November to May. then she leaves and doesn't return till it gets cold. When she is home she is so stinkin' loving ya get tired of her and wish it was time for her to leave again!!

That's it for this week Gang!!
