Get Ready Set Go.....................

Ok I have a lot to blog about today..............................................

First off I made these cute little flower out of SU scallop punch. I found them on Paula's blog and I just had to try them. I think they turned out cute. I used SU Bella rose, pink pirouette, and kiwi kiss for the left one and SU washington apple, riding hood red and tangerene tango for the right one. Added a little rinestone brad for the center. Can't wait to add these to a card. :)


I bought my frist brayer for my birthday. (I got a michaels gift card from my in-laws :) ) So I had to try it out. And this was the end result. I used SU tempting turquoise, and pink passion. I then stamped the image (can't remember what set it is) then embossed in black.



Well our anniversary is this weekend and I bought the hubby something for his car. They are called door sills and they go on the bottom so you don't scratch the paint when you get in and out of the car. They say Challenger on them. He liked them and immediatly put them on the car. :)



Last but not least here is a video of the hubby racing the car at the track. :) He enjoys that so much.











Hope you all have a great weekend. :)

Beeees

I know these are not the regular colors for bees, but I couldn't help but using them, I love these two colors together. I had so much fun doing this one. I just love the bee hive. I embossed the bee hive in SU white emboss powder and then bleached the image. I stamped the bees and then cut them out and used some pop dots and placed two on the bee hive. I used blue dew drops below the bee hive and for the center of the flower. I also add a circle paper clip right above the flower. For the background I stamped the bees all over in versamark, the used a spong dauber and stamped the bottom in versamark. Then I used SU emboss power and got it all covered, then for the bottom I just rubbed my finger over to remove some of the powder. I used the scalloped edge punch for the bottom and then just punched tiny holes. Hope you all like. :)

Fisheees


I found similar fish on SCS by Louy and decided to see what I could come up with. I had so much fun making these. I used a circle punch for the body, and a scallop circle punch for the scales. I had a small flower punch and used that for the lips. I then just cut some triangles for the fins. I used my scalloped edge punch to create some waves, I used three pieces, and layered them. And of course I added a little bow to the girl.

Below are all the details. :)

Trying to catch up :)

Well I haven't posted in a while, I have just gotten behind. So the hubby and I went to the track this weekend and he raced his new challenger. I think he did pretty good, but he feels there's work that still needs to be done. He's the proffesional so I am sure he is right. I got a bunch of video's so I will try and post them tonight, so you can check out his skills. :) I made two cards last week and finally remembered to take pictures of them. I will post them next, here in a few.

So it's our anniversary this weekend and I think we are making a trip to Virginia and going to Bush Gardens. We will probably be staying in or around that area. If anyone is familiar with the area and has local dining and entertainment suggestions, please let me know. Just looking for ideas on what to do besides the theme park. Alright let me get to uploading pictures and giving you all the details. :)

My Birthday

Well my birthday was yesterday and it was the best. I love my hubby. He got me an instyler and for those of you that don't know what it is... http://www.getinstyler.com/. I couldn't be happier, I already tried it and love it. He also got me a dozen roses. I don't care what type of flowers they are I love all flowers so how sweet. So I was feeling fine when I got home and the hubby had a long day so he laid down for a nap while I made a trip to Michaels, since my in-laws got me a gift card, figured I would go ahead and put it to good use. But by the time I got back I felt really bad...soar throat, stuffy/runny nose, ear ache, and hot (but no fever). So he ordered us some pizza and we had a night in.

I meant to post this the other day but forgot. I watched a video by Gina K about embellished flowers and decided to try it out. I love it. Oh and for those of you that asked in my gallery at SCS you can see up close pics of the stuff I made for the craft fair. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=189605

Craft Fair


Well I had a great weekend at the craft fair. Didn't sell to much but it was still fun. I made a total of $64 and a profit of $24. Oh well, they say that the fall craft fair has a lot more turn out, so maybe I will try. Who knows, we'll see. Oh and I had a request to do a girls wedding invitations, yippee. That should be fun.

I sold all of my pop up cards, people loved them, so I guess I will have to make a lot of them if I do the fall one.
