Today I am showing a Just Married card using a couple of sets combined in one of my favorite ways - scenic stamping!  I started out by by stamping the church from Little Church then added trees from Scenic Selections and Tree Selections before coloring everything using koh-i-noor pencils with no blending.  The only additional color I added was to stipple some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges before adding dew drops in place of brads for embellishments.



Enjoy the Hop. Come back each day for more Celebrating. We hope to inspire you to start your own Celebrations.  Get to work on the tutorials, show us what you made by Dec. 11 and check back on Dec. 12, 2015 to see if you are a winner.

For my card today, I decided to celebrate the birthday of a young boy, something as stampers we always seem to be short of.  I pulled out Animal Birthdays, markers, a die cut scalloped card, dew drops, and got to work.  Since I was making the card for a young boy, I decided to keep it pretty simple, no real fluff or flowers, for inspiration.

Hello and welcome again.  I would like to apologize for the sporadic posting this last year due to my migraine issues.  Fortunately, there has been some progress in that department with a 3rd doctor's opinion.  However, the news was not what I wanted to hear.  I am hoping to be able to be online a bit more soon so I can explain more on the findings and what that will mean for my future as well as my overall health.

I have heard through the "grapevine" there are those that really don't care to hear about what is going on with my migraines, and that "they think I'm taking advantage of my situation" with them or even faking it.  For starters let me say, you're wrong!!!  Completely wrong!!  Second, please keep those opinions to yourself as they are just your opinions and not medical fact.

Thank you for letting me vent.  My doctor's say keeping it in is definitely NOT helping my health at all.  Nor is being on the receiving end of said opinions.   Please have a great day.

From The Heart For Paris


Hello again.

If you would like to show your support to the people of Paris by coloring and making a card for someone, please consider using this one drawn by Betty Robert from SimplyBStamps.


It's from her heart for the people of Paris. Simply fill out the request at the top of the fan page forum here:https://www.facebook.com/groups/486424581374935/ I just downloaded mine to start working on myself.

Today I am using the stamp set Space Fun to make a birthday card for "the slightly older kids".  After stamping, coloring, then cutting out my images, I added them to a navy card with designer paper after stippling Tim Holtz faded jeans ink around the edges.  For the finishing touches I added some bling stickers that wouldn't make the card too "girly" so it could be given to the guys too.

First let me say, I am NOT pregnant!!  I pulled out one of my ultrasound pictures from almost 20 years ago to help complete today's project using Bundle of Joy and Now Showing.  After taking a ready to make frame along with some die cut movie reel frames, flowers, bling and images, I added my ultrasound pic from my now 23 yr. old son to finish everything off.

Today I am sharing a quick and easy baby bib gift card holder using two of MFP Stamp Shop sets: Bundle of Joy and Oh Baby.  After cutting out my card and designer paper from the template I downloaded from houseofstirfry.com, I stamped and colored the desired images before cutting out then adhering them to the front and inside of the card.  Then I stippled some Tim Holtz tumbled glass distress ink around the edges of the baby bib, added some bows, buttons and pear bling before adding my gift card to the inside.
