Look what came in the mail from All That Scraps!  All the new Memento ink colors!  Can hardly wait to play with them!

Here are a couple summer cards I made.  The 4th of July card is stamped with Melanie Muenchinger's Holiday Basket and Basket Additions 2.  I colored with Copics (the basket looks rather dull in this photo doesn't it?) and added some Stickles to the sparkler, star and watermelon.  The sand castle on the second card with cut from my Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge.  Flip flops are again from a PapertreyInk stamp set called Flipping Out.  Added some bling on the sandals and raffia for some additional texture.  Thanks for looking!

My cat, Annie, "made" this for her "Dad" for Father's Day.  Lol.  I used Tami Mayberry's adorable set "Vintage Notes" which can be purchased from Gina K. Designs.  It was die cut with Spellbinders "Office Supplies" set.  Base layer is GKD Tan Leather, then GKD Cranberry Tart then a Tim Holtz paper from one of his paper packs.  I colored the heart with a Copic marker then added Glossy Accents to puff and shine it up.  My DH liked it very much.  Or at least he made the appropriate comments. :0).
Here's a card I made for a challenge over at Stamp TV to utilize bright pink.  Even though it was a Stamp TV challenge,  I just couldn't resist using these little flip flops I just received from Papertreyink.  I think they are just so adorable!
This is a pop-up card I made for a friend who recently visited her grandson in Thailand.  Since they ate their way through his neighborhood, she wanted me to incorporate lots of Thai foods.  Hope he likes it!
Hi everyone!  This is my very first post so bear with me!  I live in Scottsdale, AZ and with the heat of summer bearing down on us, I thought this would be the perfect time to stay indoors and create a blog.  I'm an avid card maker, scrapbooker and paper product junkie looking for a way to share my creations and get ideas from other like-minded people.  Please feel free to check out and make comments on my, well I was going to say "work" but I don't consider any of this work!  It's way too fun.  I'm always looking for inspiration and new products so please share!

Thanks for stopping by!
