6th up, SixLet's Swap

Hi!

Last one, well that's me!  Here's the card that I made for our fun little swap group!  I fell in LOVE with the FONTS of the Project Life stamp set and decided to use this versatile set for my card!  Easy Peasy kind of!  And it was acutally good to be designing with mailing in mind, because let's be honest, I make more cards than I mail ...

Here ya go!  It was a little hard to photograph with all of the white!

Dazzling Details Glimmer Paper!  White Glitter Ribbon!

Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoyed the cards that made me smile last month!  Stop back later to see what the girls have sent this month!  They should be arriving any day in my mailbox ... ah, smiles just thinking about it!

Hugs,
Rhonda

One for the Dads

Hi!

Just to even out the love, here's the card that I have had ready since forever (joined a masculine card swap some time ago) for my Father's Day cards!  Yes they are sitting here waiting to be mailed and I honestly think I should just mail them now with a stamp that says "Do Not Open Until ..."   that way they have them when the day finally rolls around!  Lord knows that they will be sitting here on Father's Day if I don't!!  But I will challenge myself to mail them the week before!  Someone remind me! ;)

This card features one of my favorite color combinations! 

Inks & Paper:
Bermuda Bay & Basic Black & Smokey Slate

Stamps:
Delightful Dozen
Simply Stars
Gorgeous Grunge

Accessories:
Island Indigo bakers twine
Black Chevron ribbon
Metal buttons

Chalk Talk Framelits
Scallop Tag Topper Punch (for the black layer behind the greeting)



Just a little update on Rachel after the car accident, her muscle soreness and everything started to really kick in the 24-72 hours after and continued to get worse all week.  We went to her primary care doctor right away, the day after and we were able to get in on Mon with a Chiropractor that treats athletes.  She is pretty much messed up from her neck to her ankles!  So much that you cannot see physically, so we are headed for Xrays and then back to have them read, with a plan for treatment.  Even with this, she is blessed to be walking and upright and normal, just need to straighten out all of the kinked up spots!

Happy Stamping, see you again soon!

New Stuff Coming!

Hi!
We have had family in town all week and I have been enjoying each and every moment they are here!  It has been great to wake up and all sit around enjoying a morning conversation, making and planning meals, playing games every night, laughing until we hurt ... I just don't want them to leave! 

But I have done a little bit of "work" while they are here, I stamped my swap card for a team swap that I joined showcasing the new Coming Soon products from the Occasions Mini Catalog that begins in January!  As demonstrators one of our fun perks is that we can order 1 month early to have a few weeks to be familiar with the items before they go live to our customers. 

Here is the card I made

Really quick, just noting a couple of things I used.

The new Happy Watercolor stamp set and coordination Designers Series Paper package and the NEW scallop top tag punch (drooooool, in love with these!)


I used the Cantaloupe Ruffled Ribbon and some white twine & Modern Label punch to finish off the tag, and it's Crushed Curry Chevron ribbon and a custom dyed doily. 
Spritzed the doily with Cantaloupe Refill Ink & rubbing alcohol in one of our Spritzer/Mist bottles and then stamped with Gorgeous Grunge since I wanted to stay with the watercolor theme and pull some color into the bottom corner.



Well that's it!  I'm signing off as today is our last day to spend together!  They leave in the morning and my older brother gets here early afternoon!


I hope you enjoy!
See you again really soon!
Rhonda
