KISS Challenge

Fiona challenged us over at inkstainers with a KISS-Keep It Simple with Scraps-Challenge, times 3 cards! I pulled the paper from my scrap basket, and it only took a few minutes to come up with these three cards.

Its back to work Monday! Yuck...

Worked on this little box, almost all day saturday, between grands visiting, laundry and cooking... I think its kind of cute!

Pink and black card

Used my new skulls CB embossing folder and a Michael's $1 stamp. Another for my stash!!!

Bunnies

Another stamp my Mom gave me! I colored the images with my Prismacolor pencils. Love how they turned out!

A Challenge

The challenge this week on Inkstainers is to do a Christmas card in non traditional colors. The challenge was mine! The bears and the sentiment are stamps from my Mom. So now I have a Christmas card for my stash!

Another CB embossed card

I love this embossing folder! Another super easy card!

I think spring has arrived in Vermont! Sugaring is in full swing, and I can see bits of what will eventually be a green lawn! I know we'll get a few more snows, but I'm loving the warmer days and watching the snow melt!

Sympathy Card

I hate making sympathy cards. I always wait until I need one, then I go buy it! So this is one for my stash. Used the leaves CB embossing folder and sponged some ink on. Easy peasey!

Swapped image holder

I got the directions for these off the Scor-Pal site, printed them up along time ago....Just now getting to them. Great idea for a RAK, I'm sending them off to some Inkstainer pals!

Here's the face!!!

I didn't get one of his sister...

More Wolves

I was sent this image by Michelle, from Inkstainers. We were supposed to do something with it and then mingle it out. I flaked on the whole thing. But when I found the image this morning, I knew I could "Zindorf" it. Will be sending it up to Nova Scotia, where it should have gone several months ago!

Thanks Sandie!

My friend Sandie, from Inkstainers, sent me this image, stamped on thin wood. Told me to do something with it so she could CASE it. Well that was a long time ago. I sponged ink on the grass and the deer. Then used Prismacolor pencils for the details. Sorry its a lousey picture Sandie...But its on its way to Texas, so you'll be able to see it better!!!

Blue and Yellow Challenge

I posted the challenge on Inkstainers this week. Blue and yellow, and use a punch or a die. I smudged the white stamped image with my inky finger though!

We're back to winter here. I knew the warm wouldn't last, but we got hit hard yesterday! Lots of that nasty wintery mix! And more in the forecast for tonight.

When it gets above freezing in Vermont....

Vermonter's think its summertime! Top picture is Steve and Tony taking the first ride of the season. Second one is Jason on my bike. The last is of the youngest two, playing in the snow in front of the house!

SU Wolf

I finally won SU Wolf set on ebay, for a very reasonable price! Cased a card from Michelle Zindorf's blog.

Another snowy Vermont day! We're getting slammed with another 7 inches(or more) of snow! I'm ready for spring!

My other card is another Zindorf case! I expect to see one of these fella's in my front yard! Love the seal's face!

It's been awhile!!!

I made this for a friend, and fellow ambulance co-worker, who was injured last week in a logging accident. My Mom gave me a bunch of these cute House Mouse stamps!

In other news...Our nine year old Grandmonster has come to live with us. Its been a real adjustment for us! But its working out.

Been really sick for months. Turns out it is just another complication of having Rhuematoid Arthritis.

We're in the midst of another snowstorm...I'm so ready for spring!!!!

Snowman

Love this snowman stamp! I also got the daytime version!

No snow here, yet...There is some in the forecast for thursday! Steve id run into snow yesterday morning on the way to work. He is still riding the bike, and I guess he looked like a snowman when he got to work!

Front and Back Card

My Mom gave me some Art Impressions stamps, called Fronts and Backs. These are so cute! I was so wrapped up in doing the fence, cat and little girl, I forgot the inside of the card would be exposed! Better planning next time!

One Cool Looking Little Dude!

Meet our youngest grand, the Cool Dude! He's a real handful, just like his father was! Pay back is a bitch Jason!

Inkstainers Challenge

The challenge from Sharon this week was to do a round card. And it was a challenge! Its a bit crooked on my little stand.

Still very warm here. I'm loving the not snow weather! The snow will be here for good, soon enough!

SCS swap

I joined a swap with some other biker/stampers on SCS. This is what I came up with. The bike stamp is the closest I have to what my bike looks like. I believe its a Seaside Art Stamp. The sentiment came from my good friend Sandra in Scotland, don't know who the maker is.

Hoping this means my muse is back!
