Hey gang,

Hope you all are enjoying this fabulous fall weather. Here in Colorado it is absolutely gorgeous. Here is the view from my neck of the woods. Mt. Meeker at an elevation of 13,911 and Pikes Peak at 14,111.

But anyway…

I found this tutorial from Catherine Pooler. If you have not checked her out, you should. She hosts Stamp Nation. It is an online group that has hundreds of card making tutorials that you can join for a small fee or just check out her blog as she has tons of stuff there too.

I loved how simple these were to make and how different they all looked simply by using different colors.

Thanks for looking!

Hey Guys.

The Stamping Chef and Simply B Stamps had a Goddess challenge and offered these cuties for just a dollar. They are both such generous and lovely women. So I love to support them any way I can. And I get some cute stamps too.

Thank you ladies for the awesome stamps.

I used Deconstructed Sketch for inspiration on card design. If you haven’t seen her site check it out. I use it all the time. At the top of her site click on deconstructed sketch and there are lists of sketches that you can use.

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone’s week is off to a fabulous start. I have been off elk hunting this last week and after logging many miles and some mechanical difficulties we managed to get an awesome elk. This hunt was much more challenging than I anticipated, but I guess what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger right? LOL This weekend was spent processing the meat into steaks and jerky. I did manage to steal a couple of hours in my craft room. YEAH So I thought I better get this month’s challenge completed.

The first is fortune teller Betty. I thought this sentiment was funny! ok I am a little off I know. Still makes me giggle.

The second is Voodoo Corinne, she is our fabulous administrator and we all pick on her. Don’t you fret though, she gives as good as she gets. She is always saying she is going to stick another pin in me. (I don’t know why, I am ALWAYS soo nice to her LMAO) so I thought this sentiment appropriate. It says “Hey, Corinne, did you ever notice that your pincushion looks just like me..hmm?”

Well that is about it for now. Thank you for visiting.

Well here is the last blog for this month’s challenges.

This is for the Teen Line Anything but a card. The bag is an old Christmas bag that I recycled. The papers are from Summer Fresh from Simple Stories. The happy birthday is a card tag that I bought from Joann’s eons ago. The image was colored with copics but a while back when I didn’t write things down. Sorry.

The next card is for the favorite techniques challenge. Layering is a technique I use on almost all my cards. Also coloring with Copics LOL

The papers I used are from My Mind’s Eye Handsome Boy. Copics:E50,00,21,R20, R30; YR24, E31, E33; YR12,14,18; YR00,02,Y18; BG45,49; B0000,C00, N10, R14; E34,37

Sketch is from Deconstructing Jen

This card is for the Emo challenge. It could also be used in the smart A$$ challenge as well.

Outside: Happy Birthday Old Friend.. Inside: No, really…You’re old. It is just kraft cardstock cut down to 2.75 X 5.5 and scrap paper added inked with Distressed Walnut Ink and the sentiment is computer generated. Copics: E30,31,33,35,37,39; E50,51,53,55,57; E40,41,42,43,44

The last card is for CORINNE. Yes, here is your Smart A$$ card. There are you happy now whip cracker. LOL. Corinne is one of the administrators at Simply B Stamps. She does a fabulous job keeping all 500+ members straightened out. We all give her a hard time though. Don’t worry she gives more than she gets. 🙂 I just love the gals in this group.

Outside reads: Working with you is a dream

Inside reads: You know the one with brain eating zombies walking all over the place.

Papers are from Bo Bunny Family Is

Copics: E50,00,21, R30, E35,YR21,Y32; W00,0,1,2,4; C3,5 G94,99

Hey there all my little blogger friends. Is everyone ready for the 4th of July? I am! My son is coming home for a week! Can I get a whoop whoop! We plan on doing some camping and fishing and in general staying high in the mountains away from the heat. He is currently living in Yuma, Arizona where the temps are in the 110-120 (43-48 for my European friends) degrees daily so our mild 100 degrees should be a welcome change LOL.

Anyway, back to crafty stuff. Today’s card is Summer by Simply B Stamps. Every month Miss Betty gives us a free digi to use for a monthly challenge. I LOVE this image! The challenge was to make your own background, not stamped. I used my alcohol inks to make the background and my Spellbinders Flourish 2 and EK Success Patterned Circles punch.

Copics: E50, E00, E21, R30; BG03, BG45; Y11,21,26

Ink: Alcohol inks: sunshine, citrus and pool; Jet Black Staz-on;

Shimmer spritz sparkle

Thank you for looking.

Jazz says hi…he’s has been struggling with allergies this year. Poor puppy. The medicine seems to be helping.

Good Morning Gang! Just a quick post before I head off to work- BOO! First days back are always tough.

This is Some Odd Girl– Lazy Kaylee. Isn’t she cute! I used my CherryLynn Design Die-English tea doily . Love that die. I also learned that if you put waxed paper (like you would use in your kitchen) onto the die then put the paper to be cut and then run it through your machine. You don’t get those small little pieces that won’t come out of your die. They just pop right out. Pretty neat huh? I used Recollections small pearls to highlight the image.

Papers are Lost and found2- Blush by My Mind’s Eye; Simple Stories Fabulous;

Ribbon: Sheerly Yours Offray; Stamp is Recollections Fun Borders.

Copics: Face E000,00,21,R20; Eyes: BG93, C5; Hair: W1,3,5,7,9; Dress: R,00,R81,83,85; Shadow W00, W0

Hello Again…I have been off making sausage. Yep, sausage. We made Italian, spicy Italian, Jalapeno cheddar brats, breakfast sausage, summer sausage…200 lbs of sausage all together. Whew. It is a annual family tradition. But now I am back in crafty land and I have three cards for you today to make up for my absence.

They are the newest from Simply B Stamps.

Come on over to their facebook page and check them out.

I will be back this weekend with more cards…
