Gillians card,

This is an absolutely beautiful card. I bought the score pall so i can make it now. Shh don't tell. I still have to sneak it into the house. TEHE

My card from the anyone in st. louis wanna stamp get together.

This was the card I made for the pink lemonade card swap. Doesn't it look cheesy next to Dina's? Wait don't answer that... :) If you are wondering why I didn't put all of the cards in one post. It is because I uploaded them from my cell phone. It is just easier to put them in their own posts than to save them and then repost them. s

My card from the card day

Cindy's card for June's get together.

This is the card Cindy made for our get together. Isn't it perfect. I love the colors and the chrochet flower. She made all of the flowers for us. I really want to get her patern. Woudn't that be fun to do?

Dina's card from my shoe box swap.

This was Dina's card from my Get together. I love it. She did exactly what I was attempting to do when I designed my card. I'm glad I know how to do it right now. And yes this was part of the inspiration for the Pink lemonade pie 6x6 recipe swap.

This is part two of Gillian's card.

This is part two of Gillian's card. Isn't it way cool ? I had to order the scor-pal so I could do this one again. They say there is all kinds of fun stuff you can do with the Scor-pal. I can't wait to try it out.

Jenny's card from my shoe box card group.

This is a really nice card. I loved the paper. The lady is drinking pink lemonade. It is a perfect summer time card. I am Glad Jenny could be with us!

A card from my card day.

Julies card from my shoebox card swap.

This is Julie's card from my shoebox card group. She made it out of a paper bag. Actually, this is the one I made. She has all kinds of tricks up her sleeve. I can't wait to see what she brings to next months.

She is making cards on Great Day in St. Louis. Isn't she wonderful?

Simple Mexican Lasagna recipe swap

This is my mexican swap. I don't have a stampin up stamp that fits the mexican food theme. So I used the sponge stamp I have to paint my kitchen walls if I ever get to have my own kitchen. (someday) (I'm 34 and still haven't lived in a place I could decorate my own kitchen) This was a 4x6 swap not a 6x6. But it's basically the same idea. I used eyelets in the top for decoration. Thanks for looking

sweet dreams

pink Lemonade pie recipe

This was the second version of the pink lemonade pie recipe. I used tart and tangy once again for this one :) I just stamped pink lemons all over it instead of red strawberries. Why I didn't use yoyo yellow i'm not sure cause lemons are usually yellow. oh well. I like it. I used my tombo glue runner to put tape on top of the velum "glass" and then sprinkled embossing glitter on the top. Simply because I can't find my silver or white glitter.

Vella's chopped salad recipe swap 6x6

This was my very first attempt to do a recipe swap. I am not sure I like it as much as the ones I typed out. Oh well. I used the yummy stamp. I stapled some ribbon in the corner. It is relatively simple to make, I just wish my hand writing looked better. This one is complete.

asparagus noodles recipe 6x6 card swap

This is my second card swap I am in. It is also a 27 card swap. That gets real annoying when you don't like to pay attention that much I have about 6 done. Anyway. I used a glue pad to stamp my dragonfly from winged things. and then I sprinkled some martha steward glitter on the glue. It turned out really neat. I like it better than the other attempts I have made for this card.

pink lemonade pie 6x6 recipe swap card (strawberry)

I'm in about 10 recipe card swaps. I have decided I will never do another one that requires making more than 7 cards for the swap. This one used up all of my pink paper. Some of them were stamped with strawberries, and some with pink lemons. I will post the pink lemons further up.

I forgot

I sat down yesterday and made a really cute 6/6 recipie holder book. I cut out 70 advice cards for a new bride and groom and forgot to take any pictures... ooops... oh well I did it..

Wow....

Ok i'm not sure what happened to that last post. I'm not even sure what language it was in. Sorry. It looks pretty though. I was just explaining why there was a picture of a jeep on my stampin blog. It is my new ride. I hope you all enjoy the picture.

my card for the may card swap

This was my card swap from the 1970's theme swap. I used string art and fringe to make this design.

may card swap

I am not sure where this card came from it was in my bag when I got home last night. It is a pretty card thought.
THis was Gillian's card. Thank you for sending it to us. We sure missed you! This was a cool 70's card!























This one was Katherine's card. She used a brayer technique on the card.








may card swap

this is my interpetation of Julies card. this is a tea bag card. Each inside flap has a spot for a tea bag. This is a neat idea.


may card swap.

These are the cards I made not the usual cards that the "designer" made and brought for us to copy.

This is the inside of Tiffany's card
This is the outside of Tiffany's card.

april's cardswap, the cards

So this is my card. I found it online, I wrote down the link, but now I can't find where I got the idea from... I will update it as soon as I figure out where I got the idea from.... I am pretty sure it came from one of the sites listed on the side of my blog. Ms Manners stamps, or I stamp. I wish I could rememember for sure I will keep looking I will find it again. My apologies for stealing and not remembering.
This is probably my favorite card of the month. I love the colors and the saying. This was Kim's card.

We used a water color technique on this card. It was really neat. I had never water colored before, but now I will try it again. This was Katherine's card. She always has the coolest cards.


We had a man's theme for the month. This is a neat little gift card holder. The undershirt pulls out and holds a gift card. It's really cool. This was Dee's card


I love the tie card and it was petty cool to make. This was Tiffany's card.



This house mouse stamp so reminds me of how I am after first break in the morning at work, except I have never sat on a desk with a computer on it before. This stamp came from scrapbookstoreatyourdoor.com Julie designed this card.




this card has some really neat texture... the bottom band is actually mettle meshing. I like it a lot. :) If I remember correctly this was Gillian's card.








this one was really cool too. We used the big shot floating die to cut out the shape. It also cut out and scored the card in the right spots. It was way way way cool. :) I really like that die... anyway, back to the card... why I stuck my fingers through the hole when I took the picture is beyond me. this is tracy's design. Sorry about the finger Tracy. :(

















finally aprils card swap











The girls at the card swap...

you would think....

That since I am laid off and have been since the first part of May I would be getting something fun done. But no, I am sooooo busy doing other stuff that I haven't even made a card or pulled out a stamp. I just realized that I am supposed to have posted the pictures from our april card swap... OOOPPPPPSSS I will do that now... Maybe.... Photoshop is open, we will see if I get around to it. I was supposed to have edited easter pictures too, but goodness I'm just not into much of anything recently. I am loving spending time with Sami. I am spending time with my parents out in the yard. Sami and I go on a bike ride everyday. It is so nice. Today we went on two bike rides. The first one we got "stuck" talking to our favorite neighbors. It was a blast. I helped Jane with her facebook page, and talked to Clarence about everyday things. The second bike ride we got a little further down the road. :) We actually made it to the end of the road and were on our way back when my Aunt's granddaughter (my cousin) was in the front yard playing with their puppy. So Sami and I stopped and we flew an elmo kite, played with Max and I talked to My cousin, my Aunt, and my great Aunt. It was a nice way to spend the day. Of course, by then it was lunch time so I came home and cooked for mom and dad. Then I cleaned up the kitchen. After cleaning up the kitchen I put Sami down for her nap. While she was napping I did the whole job hunting thing. When she got up I did the whole oh my gosh my room is a horrible mess I have to get it cleaned up thing. So now my room is a horribler (not a word) mess and I am sitting here typing nonsense. :) oh well. I am going to go edit some pictures, if I can find them. Then I have to decide what I am going to make for my 70's card swap tomorrow. Thank God it is close. :)
