Thank you to my Bridesmaids

Hello there, 

9 days to go!!! So in these past few day I have been doing last minute things to prepare for the wedding as well as moving into my new home. I am almost all moved out, but I still haven't moved my stamping room because I still had things to create. Today was the first time in quite some time that I have sat down to stamp. I had one task in mind, wedding, seems to be the trend. First was to make my husband-to-be a wedding card and second was to create some simple Thank You cards for my Bridesmaids. Today I want to share with you my simple Thank you cards.  
Enjoy!!

As I stated I also made my Husband-to-be a card but as much as I really want to share it with you because I totally love how it came out I'm going to wait just a few more days to share it with you, so stay tuned. I will be sure to post it sometime between now and my wedding, May 28th!! 9 days to go!!!

Bridal Shower Thank You Cards

Hey there,

So since I have been into making Digital Photo Greeting Cards what better than to create my Shower Thank You Cards. This first one was printed as just a flat 6x7 1/2 Greeting Card while the other two, one in English and the other in Portuguese, were printed as 5x7 Folded Greeting Cards. Enjoy!!!

If you see something you like feel free to contact me so that I may create something for you.Thanks

I made these Thank You cards for my graduation...that was May 22nd, I am posting them a lot later than I mailed them but I still mailed them out pretty late!!! It was a little embarrassing but better late than never, so here are a few that I made!!

ISS Cherry Pie

Hi there,

Sorry this post is a little late today. I still haven't been feeling well and today before class I managed to get to the Student Health Center on campus and the doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis. It's no longer a cold or what I thought might have been the swine flu it is officially bronchitis, so I get to be on antibiotics, Mucinex, and breathing treatments for the next 5 days and then I have to go in again to see that my lungs are all better. As for my post today I scheduled my posts for the rest of the month last Thursday and I forgot to take a pic of one card that I hadn't made yet so I'll have to take my picture later today and post it for sometime this week. I still have to head back to school to pick up my perscriptions from the pharmacy. As for now I will share with you this card. This is an InStyle Stamps image, it's called Cherry Pie, but I guess I didn't pay much attention to that cause I made it a pumpkin pie, or maybe it is peach. Either way it's definitley not a cherry pie but that is what it is called. As for now I am going to get back to my chicken soup and run my errands, sorry for the short post.

Enjoy!!!

Thanks for stopping by have a great day and make sure that Cali wind doesn't blow you to far ;-)!!!

Tree of Life CAS

Hey everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!! I recently picked up this Inkadinkado stamp, Tree of Life, at my local Michael's store. I picked it up thinking it was super cute and that I would figure out something to do with it. I love the image but I have the hardest time with large stamps and abstract images, I like my fancy DP and colors so for my first use of the stamp I decided to go simple and just dip my feet in the water with the stamp. So what better than a one layer card with a simple saying to get a little feel for the stamp. Maybe sometime later I will try something a little more courageous with it but for now I just wanted to ink it up.

So here are two cards I came up with, let me know what you think.

Enjoy!!!

VLVMay01 Thank you

For the week of 5/1 the {twist} over at the verve forum is an inspiration challenge! Amber challenges you to be inspired by something in your home! She doesn't care what it is, could be a painting, your couch, bedspread, a book, ANYTHING! All she asks is that you let us know what you were inspired by! You are free to take a picture of the object and post it here with a link to your card, we'd love to see it!

Keywords for this weeks sketch are VLVMay01 and Verve (if you're using Verve stamps). Verve stamps are NOT required but we love to see the Verve stamps being put to good use ALL ARE WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO PLAY!

So here it is, I was inspired by this beautiful Anthurium plant that my boyfriend gave me. I know they are pink but I was inspired by the little thing that comes out of every flower, and I used it to inspire me to use flower soft, cause that it what the little think poking out of the flower reminds me of. It also inspired my to use my Because of you Verve Stamp set.

When I first bought this set, "Because of You," I knew I wanted to use Flower Soft on it, but I hadn't gotten my hands on it yet. So a few weeks ago there was a Stamp convention here in Sacramento, and my goal in going was that I was going to buy Flower Soft. Sure enough one of the booths there was selling Flower Soft, I was supper excited!!! So this was my first attempt at trying it out.

So here is my card. Enjoy!!!

Card Size: 5 x 4 1/2
Stamps: Verve Because of You
