My first Unity Stamp card :D


I won 3 Unity stamps in someone's blog candy giveaway several weeks ago, and tonight I decided that I just HAD to use one of the stamps I recieved.  So I combined 2 stamps, the Unity stamp was the sentiment, and the MFT stamp is the Yoga stamp that I used in the background of the sentiment.  I tried several different ways to do this card, and this one was the best looking of them all :D!

What I did was I stamped out the MFT stamp first of the girl meditating, and then I stamped the sentiment on vellum.  Next, I colored in the MFT stamped image then glued the sentiment over top...pretty easy :)!

Another dress card


So, I kind of improved upon my last dress card...for this card, I used my 1 3/8" SU circle punch to make the neckline of the dress. Then I used my 1 7/8" scallop punch to make the collar of this cute dress, and I used the floral/paisley kind of Cuttlebug Embossing folder for the dress.  LOVE these dresses :)!  Give it a try, would LOVE to see what you create :)!

Dress Card cased


So I bought the March/April Paper Crafts  Mag last night, I didn't get around to going through it until this morning and that is when I came across this beautiful card.  It is a dress card, and you can get the template for it on www.PaperCraftsMag.com and it is in the downloadable section.  

here is the card that I created using this template :)!  
Here is ju
st a little tip:  When I see a template that I want to use, I don't print it on usual printer paper...nope, I print it on some thicker SU cardstock and this way I can keep on using that template for a long time.

My first star book using Nestabilities



Thank you Kim for this neat idea to use your Nestabilities (Large Scalloped rectangle), so I decided to give it a try...bare with me here, this is my first go at one. Had a few issues with it, but think I will make more :D!  This book isn't done yet, still needs work done to it...but I thought I would share what I had done with you :)!  I need to visit one of my usual crafty stores first before this project can be totally completed...












So while I am waiting for the pictures to upload, I thought I would share with you my mornings events...to start it off I really didn't want to get out of bed would have been safer if I stayed there.  Then I forgot my son's Early Interventionist was coming here this morning, that is until I heard her pull in the driveway. *GACK* the house isn't clean and I am not ready for company...clothes are in the laundry baskets in the hall way. I tore around the house doing what I could to make it look presentable...well in the process of doing that I slammed my dd's bedroom door on my knuckle of my ring finger on my left hand. Didn't I get a slice of skin peeled back, thought it went down to the bone and I really didn't want to look so I grabbed a paper 
towel. Then ran to get the door...where I explained to her what happened to my finger and to hang on a few minutes while I did first aid on myself.  There is a large layer of skin that I managed to put back, but the problem is now there is what looks to be a large blood blister or something there.  My poor finger...sigh...so perhaps this is why I was having problems with my star book I made. Lol, oh well...going to get more ice to put on it in the mean time.
