Happy May Day!

Well, April was quite a month for me...

On April 10, my husband had to call 911 for me due to the worse pain I have ever experienced in my abdomen. I ended up with emergency gall bladder surgery!

Thank goodness that is all over with!

So now I'm playing catch up and posting some recent cards that I have worked on both before and after my surgery.

My first card is from the brand new Hope and Strength Stamp Set...As part of our Making a Difference Program, Stampin' Up is proud to partner with The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF) int he Strength and Hope Campaign. From May 1-August 31, 2011, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 from the sale of each Strength & Hope Set and Digital Kit to BCRF.

My next two cards were Get Well Cards. Both used stamps from the Four Frames Stamp Set that will be available in the 2011-2012 Catalog coming out on July 1, 2011.

 

On the following card I also used the new Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper coming out in the new catalog.

The following is the Easter Card that I did. I embossed the image in clear and then sponged ink over it to create the grass and sky...then added the blossom tree and colored in the blossoms.

And last but not least...I recently needed to purchase a new X-Acto knife and decided to use a coupon and purchase a nice set in a wooden box. Well, I decided that the box was too plain so I alter the box using the new Paisley Petals DSP.  I really like the way it turned out!

Well, thats all I have for now. I hoping to get busy and get a lot more posted this month!

Have a great week everyone!

I've finally had some time to sit and "play"

Here are a few cards that I've created over the last couple of days:

This first one I got the idea from another Stampin' Up! Demonstrator: Julie Davison...I just love this "Side Step" card.  You can visit her blog here for the instructions.

This next card is an Anniversary card for our dear friends. I really like the red and black look of this one!

And this last one was just a shot in the dark playing with the window panes. A birthday card for another friend.

I hope enjoy them. I'm looking forward to getting the hang of this whole blogging thing and having time to create more cards.

WhooooHoooo...Look What I Came Home To!

I got home today to find my Start Up kit from Stampin' Up!  Can you guess what I will be doing tonight?

Just a little something to post

Since I don't have my start up kit yet I thought I would post something non-stamping related...just to have something posted :)

This is a tile that I did from a picture taken at our daughter's wedding. The little flower girl is our great niece, Icesis, and she was whispering to Nichole...I am so thankful that the photographer caught this special moment...
