Happy Birthday to all my friends and family who have a birthday in July. I was cutting my new stamps out andputting sets in the isis cart when this set jumped out and said make this card!

Colored w/ Bic pens. Used several sets for this card; T2382 girlz & boyz, T3143 Spunky Sprite Girls, T2842 Playful Bet, eclectic Happy Birthday (retired GWP), TA2985 Feel Better (retired Hostess),T2956 Linear Sentiments. Have to show inside of this card as it finishes the card. I know the card seems busy but it was in my head and now it done. Hope you have a great weekend!!

Christmas Wishes is finished for my challenge entry at SCS. The idea was in my head since Sunday and was put on paper completed this morning. The Jumbo Penguin is a Clear stamp from Stampendous and everything was paper pieced but the eyes. I stamped eyes and beak but added orange cardstock for beak. The scarf is popped up for more dimension. I am loving my background too as I brayered it with Memento dew drops in Summer sky, Lulu Lavender and Angel Pink. Stamped snowflakes with summer sky. The Christmas wishes stamps are from 2 TAC GWP's. I added glitter to snow drifts which is torn paper. I Love the way it finally looked, what do you think? I am reposting this as I did not have a Direct Link to SCS and posted another challenge after. I hope ya'll like this card!

Here is my challenge with pleats for Paperlicious Designs. My first time doing a challenge for Melisa and I wanted something that was more decor:

not really a card in mind so I did this door hanger with a simple welcome.

Stamps are TAC cute curliques T-2878 and the welcome is from retired set but can't remember name. The colors are better in person. I inked Toile Pink Palette on Bristol board and stamped curliques with Belle Rose. The card stock in pink and lime is DCWV and is the plaid paper. The bow was made using Bow Template from Hot off the Press. I distressed the edges lightly and used Burnt Umber Palette for welcome and edges. I got this hanging on my craft room door. Hope everyone likes it!

hey there kitty! My newsest card was done this morning. Paper is TAC-V900 Gentle Beginnings Stamp set is T2805 (retired) Adorable Animals. I used small flower stamp from T2638 Petal Pack and French Lilac Palette Ink, also New Canvas on edges of circle. You can not see it well, but I used a square nestie to emboss on card, hand cut square and glued paper to back. Added kitty which I stamped with TAC India Ink on watercolor paper and colored with Bic pens(cheaper than copic $10 for 24 pens at Walmart). I like the way I balanced it with the flowers. Circle and flowers are popped up using Double-sided mounting tape cut into small pieces. Another bargain; cheaper than pop-dots and lasts longer. 3/4 inches x 57 foot roll for I think $2. I've had it so long I really don't remember. Dollor store or Walmart?? Well here it is DONE!!

I finally finished my 4th of July Decor! The picture is dark cuz I only had the front door open and the flash. I used a paper towel tube cut in thirds for the firecrackers. The stamp used on letters backgrounds from TAC retired long ago but very useful. I put this Decor on the mantle after taking pix. Hope you likey!! Got some more discontinued stamps today in mail, will cut out and play this evening. Today was last day to order anything from old catty. New catalog will be be here next week as Seminar is this weekend.

I am really excited to see the new Catty and all the stamps. I have been buying stamps like crazy from TAC, reading other blogs from TAC people helps show different ways stamps can be used and the ideas are really awesome too!

Hi all, it has been awhile but I have been working on a few things and got my lastest order in and just had to get this card posted. This is for my two grandsons Ian and Owen Stavis, who live in Colorado with my daughter Kay and her hubby Skip. I love this stamp set T-2382 Girlz & Boyz. I used Prismapencils and mineral oil. Ian is 5 yrs old and Owen just turned 1 year in Feb. I know my daughter will enjoy the card more than the boys for now. But it was fast and fun to make!!!
