A Special Card!

Hi Everyone!

Here is the card I made the other day for a very Special Person ... my girl!!!! Made it, and sent it to her, "just because" - she's a wonderful daughter; and a great wife and mother! I am sooooooo proud of her!!!

I used the Baby Wipe Technique - this is so much fun .... even if the fingers do get a little inky! I say, "Inky fingers are a sign of a happy stamper!" CS & Ink - More Mustard, Rose Red, and Old Olive. The stamp is from "Friends 24-7". Tied a little heart charm to the ribbon with linen thread!

Here is the inside!

Everything is Stampin' Up! except the stamp inside - that is from WhipperSnapper...and the charm is probably from the Dollar Store or WalMart! :)

Hope you're having a great weekend! Remember - "don't sweat the small stuff"! Blessings to you!

Baby Wipe Technique - again.

Hi All!
I had this set to post during the night - don't know what happened to it! anywho..... here it is!

I decided to do the Baby Wipe technique for my workshop last night. There were 3 new stampers there! It's so great to see people get creative and have lots of fun!
I made a sample card (2 actually - one for the hostess and - one to send to my daughter - can't show you that one till it gets in the mail!)
I also did a couple sample pieces to show (gave these to the hostess) and then I demo-ed the technique using different colors than those used on either of these samples!

Hope you enjoy peeking here today!
The card for the hostess: I used So Saffron & Elegant Eggplant CS; Ink - Eggplant, Old Olive, More Mustard; and the stamps set "Upsy Daisy" with the sentiment from "Aways In My Thoughts" which will retire in a few days! If you are interested in any of the retired sets give me a call.... I will be placing an order within the next couple days!

Here are the samples using Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise and "Friends 24-7" stamp set. Isn't this a pretty combo?

Blessings & Hugs!
May this be a wonderful creative day for you all!

Baby Wipe Technique

Happy weekend!

I've been playing around with the baby wipe technique - the background of this card and the stamped image are both made using variations of this technique. Used Kiwi Kiss as the main CS for the card.... the picture just doesn't do it justice. We received word yesterday from our accountant that we both will be getting some $$$$ back from income tax! WhoooHoooo! I plan on getting a new camera! Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Sent in an order to Stampin' Up! last night! .. Gotta get ready for our SPRING EXPO on the 9th of May..... nothing like leaving things to the last minute, aye!

Blessings to you this weekend!

Hugs!
