I have been working on swap this last weekend. I have a Riley swap coming up, so I created this coffee mug. Cased this pattern off of SCS, there is a packet of folgers instant coffee tucked inside.
I am hosting a HouseMouse Book Mark Swap coming due on Wednesday, this was my bookmark for the swap! I just love the little butterfly mouse! So cute!

I traded some House Mouse images for some Riley images, for a swap on SCS. Here is what I created. Guess I am thinking of warmer weather all ready and camping. It was in the 70's here all last week, However friday it was 38 for a High with just boarder line snowing, it was rain but felt and looked more like it was snow, nothing stuck thank goodness. Today it was in the 60's can the weather man please make up his mind? However now it is raining. Shouldn't complain about the weather no one has any control.


We had our monthly Stamp group get together this last week. Had a ton of fun! We didn't really get much stamping done though, however we did get alot of talking and taking notes done. I decorated water bottles for the group. I wasn't sure what kind of picture to add the pocket, so I left it blank. I think I should have put a flag or a sentiment on it though, now that I am looking at it again. I hope to decorate a bunch of these for our Fourth of July BBQ, out at our camping site.

Again I am thinking warmer and sunny days. We were given some shiney paper to make a card with for our challenge for the monthly stamp group. This is what I created. It is grillafella, with the stars cut from my sizzix then colored with sparkles. I had to include an envelope as well, stamped out with Happy 4th Of July! I know I am ahead of the game but if I do not stay on top of these things time will get away from me.

I am helping my mom sell some of her duplicate The Angel Company stamps. Prices Do NOT included shipping all stamps are new, unmounted uncut! Shipping should not cost too much! I am listing these for my mom, she does not have a computer but is in need of paying Medical Bills and needs to get rid of some extra stuff!

TAC2338 Group of Flowers 5.00 I have 2 of these

All of these sets are new unmounted uncut and still in their boxes. I have a tendency to order stamp sets and then forget I have them and order them again. Most of these are duplicates to me. I sold several sets at my last craft fair but since I found SCS I thought I would give this a try!

I will accept personal checks but will wait for check to clear before sending stamps, Money Order! I cannot take paypal or CC.
Buyer to Pay shipping! With the stamps being acrylic mounting shipping should not cost too much.
Let me know what you want and I will get back to you on actual shipping cost, send me a PM with you zip code and what you are interested in. Also let me know if you want the plastic boxes they come in originally as well because they usually cost more to send because they take up space!

Thanks for Looking!
If you would like to see pictures of any of these stamps send me your e-mail address, it is alot easier to do it that way for me.

Been working on lots of altering items, and such. We are having our stamp

group session this coming up friday! I have also been spending time watching Life time Movie network, or I should say listening to the movies and coloring images. I received some riley images in teh mail to make some cards with. She sent me the riley in a tent. I love that image so much fun and easy easy to color, so I may have to buy that image too. I'll try to post those later. I am hosting four different swaps on SCS and one is due end of this month.

Any way this is a picture of my cards for a tea swap. I have finished coloring the images, I just did not get a picture of the cards before I mailed them off. Still looks pretty good though right. The circle idea is not mine I saw it on some ones blog! I loved the idea so I had to burrow it.

Blog candy reminder!



I have not had a lot of time this week to stamp, but a friend of mine asked me to make her a box and fillit with a few cards for a bridal shower! This is the top of the box. I added flocking to the bunny, which looks really bad here in the picture, so I added some more flock but did not get another picture of it before I sold it to her!



I just made this card tonight, took me about 10 minutes. I made it for my friend to give to the bride to be! I typed the phrase up on the computer, used prima flowers and brads the light purple paper is embossed using the cuttle bug embossing folders flowers I believe is the name of it. I am too lazy to go look it up. I found the phrase on SCS here from this card. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/793099 Elizabeth G. did a wonderful card as well using this saying, the bride is going to love this card. I just know it!


Don't forget to comment on my blog candy, My son will be picking a winner tomorrow afternoon to give a few more people to comment. I am looking a little pathetic right now with only 6 comments! I'm begging you!

Blog Goody!

I found another Blogger giving away Blog goodies! Stamping the Details. Has ribbon on her site, please go check her out before it is too late. She also has some wonderful Art work to check out.

BLOG GOODY GIVEAWAY!
As you can see I have finally made it 1000 hits on my hit counter, so I am going to be giving away a Blog Goody! A friend of mine and I got together and decorated some cd folders with card stock 12x12's and these folders. So I am going to offer one of these folder as a Blog Goody to one lucky readers you will also get 3 blank folders for you to decorate yourself. This is one style of the cd folders, You may and you may not receive this one, I have not decided yet, and there are a ton of pockets so there will be a few extra goodies in the pockets as well. I have not yet decided? That will be a surprise!
All you have to do is leave me a comment on what your favorite project of mine is, and what you like about it. Also include you e-mail in the comment or check back here on Sunday April 6, I'll have my 5 yr old son randomly draw a name from a hat and announce the winner, I'll need your specifics. This is where I am coping a few other bloggers in this. Stamping the Details and my Pink Mexico Link a post on your blog to my post and I'll enter your name in the drawing twice.



This is the other folders I have made in the last three days! These are a lot better colors. I am more of a neutral person!

This is a view of the inside of two of them.

This is a picture of a blank canvas, or a blank cd folder, I used three of these with some glue and some card stock paper to decorate this. I had a ton of fun decorating these and I just know you will too.

This is a bargain I found at the Goodwill today! I went in looking for an old dictionary or a tore up bible to use cards or inchies. Any way they wanted 3 dollars for a dictionary that was part of a set and half the set was not there, all I would have gotten was a-m so I decided no. Then on my way out setting on a shelf with dishes was this beautiful unopened box of prima flowers. It had a bright light shining on it jsut waiting for me. I think I even heard a harp playing. Back to reallity! "OH WOW" I was excited and I thought "Oh geez please be a good price" And tada .99 cents, I could not believe my eyes, I was so excited I practically did a cart wheel right there in the store. I have been looking for prima flowers all over, Michaels, Hobby Lobby, online, I am just too cheap to spend the scrapbooking store prices for these flowers. I called my mom as I was leaving the store and she was just leaving Archivers and she said they had a jar of flowers for 6.99 so she bought them and wanted to know if I wanted her to go back in and buy me some. So of course I ruined her day! But hey I got 144 prima flowers for 99 cents. That never happens! I may have to include a few of these in one of the pockets of this goody folder.

View master


This is a House Mouse card I created using the technique Viewmaster!
The white wheel spins around on a brad and show you different pictures, which happens to be all House Mouse. It was a time consuming card, but well worth it in the end.
There is Blog candy Give away at My Pink Mexico go check her out. She is PIF a blog candy, which will be a banner/signature/watermark sets to 3 people. I think I could use the help!
Well this is a short post, I have been on vacation all week, being lazy and a bum. It has been a wonderful week. I have gotten some things made. I say things because I took an afternoon and went to a friends house and we decorated cd folders, so I have made four of those, I'll try to post later on. And I have made inchies. I have made over 100 inchies for swaps and trading purposes. Now I am working on an alphabet swap on SCS. I am hosting an alphabet inchie swap, you pick your letter and Decorate 27 inchies in the same letter and you will get back a full alphabet of inchies. Check it out! Alphabet inchies

Easter!



Happy Easter all eerr Late!


Sorry I am a day late on the Holiday again! But I

hope everyone had a wonderful day! We had a great day! The easter bunny hid his little eggs all over the house. We are still finding eggs today! We had a high of 42 yesterday adn windy, the boys did get to go outside and play but not for too long the north winds are still too cold. I am also late on posting my Easter Card, but I saw this card example on SCS I am not sure who it was but there was like 4 or 5 different versions of it and this one is mine. So easy and fun! I used a basket I got from a friend, amd I cut the bunny out with my sizzix circles, the back ground paper is embossed using a new cuttlebug folder in my sizzix. I love those folders.

I have joined another inchie swap, well two different swaps on SCS. One is a yard of inchies, and the other is 51 inchies, all 51 have to be different so you may be seeing alot of inchies on here. But they are so much fun and so easy to make. Anything goes with an inchie as long as it is 1 inch by 1 inch.

Well That is all I have for today! Have a great week, I am on vacation this week, we have nothing planned, we are not going anywhere and we are not doing anything, so maybe I'll get some inchies made. I also need to work on some cards!
