Old Men and Their Undies Question







The answer is "Depends", and I laughed out loud when I found this stamp from Custer's Last Stamp at The Wicked Stamper in Naples, FL. Art Impressions is the source for the old man stamp (Melvin, I think is his name). I waited to post these and then forgot, so now I don't recall any of the details except the kraft card stock base and copics. I think the dp was Basic Grey, but not sure. The trousers are paper pieced and popped up but I don't think you can see that in the photos.

Thanks for the visit today.

Hugs,

Crochet Flowers Meets MACM







My inspiration for today's cards comes from a combination of Kristina Werner's MACM and Nichole Heady's crochet flower pattern. These little flowers are easy to make and so stinkin' cute! I've been taking a little bag with me to all appointments and in the car in case I have a few moments to crochet. You'll be seeing more of these from me I'm sure.


As always, I appreciate the visit today, and if you need more information on these card, just ask.


Hugs,

Cheers!



Getting back in the groove here. DH and I spent some time with family at Smith Mountain Lake in Virginia last week. It's just beautiful . . . I just love a view with mountains and water!

Anyway, here are a couple of cards I made with my aunt in mind. The first card using blue and red is my favorite of the two. I like the grungy look of it . . . seems to suit the image better, don't you think? Inside it says "Here's to another year down the can!" The dresses, flowers, flower pot and plunger head are paper pieced and popped up, but that doesn't show up very well in the pictures.

As always, thank you for stopping by.

Hugs,
Colleen

Hey Chick!


Another real quick post. My friend Carol and spent a few days in Cincinnati stimulating the local economy and attending Stampaway on Saturday. I am so inspired and anxious to be stamping, but life is going to get in the way for a few days as I get caught up around the house. I bought some fabulous new things that I can't wait to show you, so stay tuned!

Today's card was made using my new PTI Polka Dot Basics II for the background and a Whipper Snapper image. SU Dusty Durango used for the dots on SU kraft. I used a Sakura sparkle pen to add some bling to the dots and colored the image with Copics.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Flower Box Cards




Technique Tuesday has some of the cutest small stamp sets! I stamped some of the flowers from the "In Bloom" set and then decided to use the fence border punch from Martha Stewart to create a "flower box" from SU! kraft card stock. The striped dp is from October Afternoon (Ducks In A Row), and I pulled my flower and card stock colors from that. The yellow cs and ribbon is SU! Crushed Curry. The sentiments are from Verve and Hero Arts. Enjoy!
Thank you for stopping by.

Hugs,

You're Sweet


Another quick post. Sentiment stamp from Rubber Soul, We R Memory Keepers designer paper, K& Co. 3-D sticker paper pieced to match dp. This card did not come together anything like I planned, but I like the result and hope you do too. Thank you for the visit. Comments appreciated.

Hugs,

Colleen
