Why, Hello There!

(FWF post is the next post down)

I think that fall is here! Either that, or the weather is just toying with me. If it's here, wow it comes early in Wisconsin! It's 57 degrees here. Nice, huh?
I made this card for the CardPatterns sketch #79, and I'm actually getting it submitted on time for a change!

Supplies Used: Jillibean Soup, Unity Stamp Co., Taylored Expressions, SEI buttons, May Arts Ribbon, Fiskars Border Punch, Bazzil thread If you are having fall weather right now too, I hope you are enjoying it!

Computer Problems!

I've been having some problems with my computer lately, which has stopped me from posting anything. The wireless card in my laptop just up and quit working. Grrr. Tech support says that they are aware of the problem with that model of laptop, and it would cost $250 to fix it (the laptop was only $300). Grrr (again). So I have to be connected to the dsl modem now to do anything online (which, of course, is in another room and there's nowhere in my craft room to plug it in at). So, I have an old laptop that takes me about an hour to upload and create blog posts on...which means my posting will be sporadic at best until I figure something out! Anyway, after a lot of frustration, I finally have this blog post done!Here is the card I created for the Limelight sketch challenge.

Hopefully I will have another post for you soon!

CardPatterns Sketch #76...x2

I made two different cards for the CardPatterns current sketch. The first one is a square 5 1/4" card. I need to make a baby card for somebody, but after I finished this one I realized it's more appropriate for a little boy, and I need to make one for a little girl. I think if I swapped out the brown for a pink or yellow, it would make a cute girl card.

 Supplies Used: Rubber Stamps (Stampin' Up Bundle of Joy, Stampin' Up Warm Words), Cardstock (Bazzil, Stampin' Up), Patterned Paper (Basic Grey Kraft collection, Jillibean Soup), Accessories (Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch, Making Memories brad, Nestabilities scalloped circles, lace, buttons)
The second card is a standard A2 size card, but I still used the CardPatterns sketch.

Supplies Used: Rubber Stamps (Unity Stamp Co. Stuck on You), Cardstock (Jillibean Soup kraft, Stampin' Up Very Vanilla), Patterned Paper (Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday), Ribbon (American Crafts), Accessories (Basic Grey rhinestones, Martha Stewart Scallop Punch, sewing machine)

Going A Little Old School

I needed to make a baby card this week and I don't have a lot of baby stamps (something I should invest in I think!). So I had to go a little old school and pull out two retired Stampin' Up sets. I love the little teddy bear in the set and I'm not sure that I have ever used it before. It is rainy and cloudy here today, so I apologize for these pictures. I will try and get some better ones tomorrow!

Supplies Used: Stamps (SU! Bundle of Joy and Greetings Galore), Cardstock (SU! Very Vanilla), Patterned Paper (Cosmo Cricket Material Girl and Garden Variety), Border Punch (Fiskars Apron Lace), Ribbon (May Arts), Button (SEI), Nestabilities (Scalloped Circle) 
 Supplies Used: Stamps (SU! Bundle of Joy and Warm Words), Cardstock (Bazzil), Patterned Paper (Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday), Oval card and Scallop (Silhouette), Scalloped Circle (Nestabilities), Ribbon (Pink Pasilee) And since I'm showing you baby cards, I thought I would show you something I just added to my Artfire store. Awhile back I showed you a rag letter alphabet that I made. Well, I added an item to my store where you can get custom names made like the rag letter alphabet. Check it out. I think it's a cute idea for a baby gift!

Nothin' Much

Soooo...I made these cards one night. Didn't fall in love with them, but since my blog hasn't had many updates lately (besides yesterday!), I thought I would share anyway. They use chipboard of course. I am seriously using up my stash and lovin' it!
