So on Saturday I'm going to a shoebox swap. I thought it was about time I get my shoebox together. This is a new Inky Antics set that I borrowed from my friend, Gael, just the other day. (Thank you Gael). I'm not sure what you call the design of the card, but I got one in a recent swap and thought it looked like a sharp idea. I need to change the ink color on the sentiment because you can't see that on the bottom of the card it says "You're the sweetest!" The background dp is from an old SU SAB pack. Thanks for stopping by.

So I haven't posted in oh, forever. But I'm really in the Valentine spirit. My 7 year old needs valentines for her Brownie troop. In a quest to find "non-food" valentine goodies, we headed off to AC Moore. She fell in love with a bucket of Valentine foam stickers that included monkeys and a bunch of different hearts. So we took the bucket and divided up the stickers as evenly as we could and I created a pocket to hold them with my Sixxiz Baskets and Blooms die. I didn't put the bottom piece in, I just glued the two sides and the bottom. Stamped our little SU Monkey Business little guy and punched out a real red heart. The Happy Valentines Day is a little stamp I picked up in a set for $1 somewhere along the way. The back is blank so she can address them to her friends.

Here's my humorous card for the sisterhood. The inside says "but at least we haven't croaked yet". The stamps are from SU birthday banter and the paper is a garden set from Making Memories.

I made this card for a Black and White swap, which I find challenging when I'm told what colors to use. The stamp is a Studio G in the $$$ bin at AC Moore. The polka dot paper probably looks familiar as it's the leftovers from the previous card I posted.

Halloween Witch

I made this card for my mom. She belongs to a doll club and they are always looking for "doll" type items. I made a set of cards for my mom to take along to her next meeting. They don't have membership dues, but they raise club money by having members donate items to "raffle". I thought this would make a fun raffle item for her to bring. The stamp was a bargain find this week at Ocean State Job Lot. It only cost $1. It's from Inkadinkadoo/Tin Can Mail. It's probably an old stamp, but it's new to me. I kept the card simple because I think the "witch" is so cute on her own. Thanks for stopping by.

It's been ages since I've posted, or even had any time for stampin' and craftin', but here's my card for Forest's swap. Not too much stamping here as the designer papers gave it all the colors. It's a little busy, but Tropical. It reminds me of the Froot Loops toucan with the froot loops on the background paper.

Here is my card for this week's Crafty Ho's Challenge. I've missed the last two weeks, so I wanted to make sure I got back on track. I just got the dp at TJMaxx this morning while I was shopping for a wedding shower gift. I didn't know how much crafty shopping could be done at TJMaxx. I settled for this 8x8 pack of Boys paper, but I can't guarantee that I won't be back there for more. My picture didn't come out the best, but there are holes poked along the right edge. The stamps are from SU. The designer paper is DCWV All About Boys.
