Birthday Card

Gotta love $1 stamps from Michaels! I found this cute little cupcake and couldnt resist making a card. I think i am starting to go for the darker more vintage style cards.

Happy Birthday to me!

For my birthday, My parents took David, my sister, and I to see Stomp and then to Rick's Dessert Diner in downtown Sacramento. It was a great way to celebrate turning 30. I used the card my parrents gave me as a theme for this page. I used my new Tim Holtz distressed (vintage photo) ink to give all the pics a little dirty look. I might have went a little too crazy with the ink, but i think it turned out nice! I also used some scraps from an old calender for the month and date.

Celebrate

Ok, I have figured out I am now addicted to crafting! I couldnt wait to get home on Friday to start making things! I started with this card, which ended up coming out totally different then what I had started with. Sometimes the best mistakes become the most unique projects. I purchased some of Tim Holtz's distressed ink stamp pads that I have fallen in love with. I went a little crazy with the envelope...but hey, its art right! :)

Ging

I created this page awhile ago. My sister Ginger, has always been the one to capture emotion through her pics! Just a little taste of her personality!

Delight

I learned about 2nd generation stamping from my co-worker Tammy last weekend. I loved the idea so I thought I would make a card with one of the SU sets that I have. I choose pink paper with the SU guava ink. Not my favorite combo, but I continued to make the card, and this is what I came up with. I figured out that its time for me to invest in some more stamp pads, since guava and black is all i have!

Our First Hockey Game

Shortly after Dave and I met, I suprised him by taking him to a Sharks game (his favorite team). We had so much fun with Marlena and Mike and its an evening I wont forget!

Roomies

I have been wanting to make a page with all the pics over the years with my old roommmate Marlena. She always is giving me copies of pictures so I at least owe it to her to make a few pages. Good Times!!!!

Loads of Love

I just purchased the Loads of Love set from SU and couldnt wait to put it to use. I made this card for my sister! It was my first time using the SU watercolor pencils with the blender pen filled with water. It was a bit of a challenge but I love learning new things.

My First Post

I am in love with this card. I made it last night. I found this cute Chandelier stamp at Michaels for $1, what a deal! I embossed it with silver and used my SU thank you stamp to add a sentiment.
