April 2009

Same but different!

009 Here's another card I made when I was working on the Divas' challenge!!  It's almost the same as yesterday's card, but a tad bit different!!  I used the Thank You Kindly Stamp Set for the sentiment.  Then I just simply tied the 5/8" Chocolate Chip grosgrain around the card!!! 

Enjoy your day!!  And, remember, today is the last day for the Get Connected promotion!!  (free stamps!!!!)  Go to my Business Website to see all the details!!

"Girly" Birthday!!

Good afternoon!!!  What a great weekend we're having!!!  Busy,busy, busy, but all good!!  I started with my Sweet Stems class yesterday, then spent awhile playing with my son's new dwarf hamsters, then a bday party and a Little League game!  Today was an early day--8am baseball game!!  We were out of the house by 6:30am!!  But, it was fun--they won, and Cameron even had a couple of good hits!  The boys are at a Mid-high Youth lunch now, then we're off for another baseball game.  Then, we'll all crash!!! haha!!

On to the stamping!  This is the card I made for Anna's birthday yesterday!  I think my son was a little embarassed to take it--it's was kinda pink!! haha!!

Bdayanna

I used the Petal Party Simply Scrappin' Kit, and the sentiment is from the "It's Your Birthday" set!

And, here's the inside:

Divas' Coffee Break Design Challenge!!

Good morning!!!  Our challenge this Wednesday is a color challenge:  Black, White, Vanilla and Gray!!!  It was much easier than I had anticipated!!

Dcbd124


I used the Echoes of Kindness Stamp Set and Walk in the Park Designer Paper.  The ribbons are actually three layered:  5/8" White Grosgrain, Gray Taffeta and 3/8" Black grosgrain!!  It looks so good in real life!!

The flower was stamped with Black Stazon, then watercolored using an Aquapainter and the Gray watercolor crayon from the Neutrals.

I really like this card!!! 

You can see the challenge on the DCBD blog!


Retired Sets for "Sale"!!

Okay, I finally had a chance to upload the photos of my retired sets.  This is only available to those in the United States--sorry!!  Here's how this works: 

1.  Pick the sets you want (yes, they look expensive BUT you'll end up getting them free!)  You can see them all in the photo album in the right hand column!

2.  Email me at [email protected] to see if they are still available.  I'll be checking my emails often and will email you whether the sets are available or not.

3.  After you receive confirmation from me, send me an order or place it online through my Stampin' Up! site (www.tammyfite.stampinup.net)  for the equal value of what you are purchasing (you want 100 in old stamps, spend 100 on new stuff!)  You are resposible for the shipping and taxes on this new order.

4.  I will then ship to you the retired stamps starting next Wednesday!  I will cover all costs to get you the retired stamps of your choice!

I apologize for some of the blurry photos--but they're mainly there so you can see the condition of the stamps!!  There will be two pictures of each set--one of the images (so you can see it), then one of the rubber so you can see any stains.  All sets are sold "as is"!

This sale runs from now until April 30, 2009.  All orders must be placed by 10:00pm MST on April 30, 2009.
