Never Enough Chocolate!

I'm having fun w/ this set from Clear Dollar Stamps. You'd think I was affiliated w/ them in some way, but I'm not. I see I flubbered on the bottom part. I restamped on another piece of this paper and still adhered the wrong one. Oh well... I like the yumminess of this card. The picture doesn't show all the dimension of the layered hearts, punched edges and the candy bars cut out and raised w/ pop dots..

My first Gina K!!!

I've been waiting and waiting to finally break the seal on my Gina K obsession. One of her designers came out w/ a coffee set that was a must have for me; which I haven't even played with yet. First this old guy was calling to me. I love the humor in this "tickle your funny bone" set- You know you're old when... Nothin' else special to talk about w/ this card-I just thought it was fun.

Yummy

Here's a fun little thing I made. I had this in mind for teachers valentines and one for my chocolate loving boss. It started out different but the final results work for me.I'm sure this isn't an original idea-I look at blogs so much that I don't know if my ideas come from me or I've seen it some where. Anyway here are the dimensions I came up with

*4 1/4x11 piece of cs
score @ 1/2,1 1/2,5,6,9 1/2(this part is really not necessary but will show you were you tape the 1/4" side to)
Then cut 1/4" off the 1/2 score. I had to do this so I could get my punch centered for the holes for the Hershey Sticks.
So after cutting off that 1/4" then I punched 4-1/2" circles(centered in the 1/2" and 1" score lines) to slide the sticks in. The 1/4" part gets taped to where the 9 1/2 mark would be/is.
Make sense? I hope so.

Some Materials used:
scor-pal
1/2" circle punch
Clear Dollar Stamps
Martha punches
Hershey choc. sticks

Just Playing

Did you ever lose all your mojo, but you still wanted to do something? Well that's what happened to me so I played w/ some pre-made cards I picked at Michael's dollar spot and then just added some stamped images to them. They are certainly not prize winners but I think they are kinda simple and cute. Although I'm partial to those stamps. Hmmmm why am I posting them if I don't think they're that great? I dunno LOL they're just fun little cards.

Main Supplies:
Stamps:Clear Dollar Stamps
Nestibilities, Martha punch...

???Kreativ Blogger???

Hmmm I don't even know what to say to this. Mrs Loomis gave me some homework and a wonderful compliment by giving me an award. I have really no idea what I'm doing here but if I follow the leader it looks like I need to list 7 things I love...

1)My boys-as much as they drive me crazy I can't function w/out them.
2)My parents-they're always there when I need them.
3)My friends-I know, I know everyone thinks theirs are the best-but honestly, mine are the best!
4)I love to watch movies-and going to plays
5)Thunderstorms-they are so peaceful to me.
Ok now I'll get into some of my loves for stamping since this is a stamping blog :o)
5)Nestibilities-they are a must have IMO!
6)Timeless templates from Papertrey Ink
I am a template addict. Gotta love a cute little box for homemade treats or whatever else...
7)Oh and I love to stamp w/ some sort of music or musical on. Then I can just listen and sing along and don't look up as much. We have HBO and they're always repeating something-last month I think was Hairspray lol

Ok, so now I need to shout out to some other blogs. Actually I get to "tag" them w/ this award... Hmmmm Of course first on my list has to be Michael :o)
1)World of Michael Trent
2)Danni's Dreams
3)Creative Journey
4)Creations By Angela
5)Stampin With Angels
6)Red Hot Sassy Rubber Artist
7)PawsN2stamp

I think that's it-homework done. It's been a few weeks but I finally did it :o)
I know if you need some inspiration you'll get it from the blogger's/friends I listed. Very talented people!

Thanks for owl you do

Is this owl not the cutest? Love it! Most cards I make I don't care for, but this little guy makes me smile. I have a friend that got me stuck on owls and I just had to send him this card. I've been so good about not ordering new goodies, but when I saw these owls I couldn't help myself. The owl is from Clear Dollar Stamps
The paper is from everyone's favorite-Basic Grey. I was so excited when I found this paper at Michael's. Didn't know they even carried it and I'm there all the time. The paper just reminds me of owl eyes. Even did the middle for this one.

As long as I'm sharing

Here's another card I did. I have to say I like how this one turned out. It's kinda funny, my friend will come over to stamp and want to use a certain set, well in a not so funny way she gets "stuck" and then tosses her stamp set to me and then I have to prove to her that it's her and not the set that is the problem LOL soooo this is what I came up with, with her light houses.
