Hey ladies, It has been fun reading what everyones favorite dessert is...most of us said chocolate lol random.org generator picked #32 Cindy who wrote: "Not usually a dessert eater because I have weight issues, but I do love cheesecake and fruit pies" Congratulations Cindy!  Please send me your address so I can send this out to you.

Here is one of my cards that I did for the PapertreyInk swap I am in.  The stamps set I used were Out on a limb and Spiral Bouquet.  I bought a small package of PTI kraft paper, but I think I still like Stampin Ups better.  I just love the sentiment "Dreams are wishes your heart makes"  it reminds me of the music you hear walking into Walt Disney World, is that song from Cinderella?  Do any of you know? Anyhow thats it for today.  Its cold and overcast outside today, kind of a yucky day. Hope its better in your neck of the woods. Don't forget to scroll down, I am giving a stamp set and some ribbon away. **All materials used to make this card are from Papertrey Ink, the ribbon and paper are Berry Sorbet, Stampers Select white card stock, Kraft card stock, Black ink & Berry Sorbet ink.**

Here is the blog candy that I am giving away.  A bunch of ribbon and a level 3 hostess set from Stampin Up called Time Well Spent.  Just leave a message telling me what your favorite dessert is.  Mine is chocolate with a nice glass of red wine.  I will pick a random winner on Friday.

Hey all, I am leaving {on a jet plane...}, to go up and visit family.  My Dad's side of the family is having a family reunion, and then on my Mom's side, my Aunt & Uncle are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary.  So its 1:20am and I am should be finishing up my packing but I'm blogging instead LOL.  The Anniversary Party is in a back room in a nice restaurant, so I am trying to pick out everyone's clothes.  I always overpack, I don't mean to, I just do & it really annoys my husband, but he just has to deal >" I am bringing the laptop, so if I go to a coffee shop that has wi-fi I will try to blog hop, but I can't promise. Be on the look out because when I get back, I am posting my first blog candy.  Its going to be good!  I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Here is my card that I did for the May PapertreyInk's Blog hop.  You needed to use score lines somewhere on your card.  I really wanted to do "inchies" on the card so that is how I started.  I ended up using the dragonfly from Pond Life, I stamped them with Spring Moss ink.  The designer paper is by Cosmo Cricket and the inchies are layered on the dp, popped up with dimmensionals.  The yellow 5/8in grosgrain ribbon, helps bring the colors out on the dp and it the perfect embellishment for this card.  I scored two vertical lines down the Kraft paper, and then scored again horizontally on the top & bottom of the card to give it a finished look {& I needed to use score lines} These seemed like the visually best places to score.  This was a really simple card to make. Thanks for visiting...I off to blog hop >"

I am enjoying my new stamps from Unity.  I think I am addicted to new rubbah lol.  I get something new, use it a bunch and then kind of forget about it.  I still have SU sets I havn't even mounted or inked up yet.  My new addiction is Copic markers, I love them.  I was very skeptical about them at first, but not anymore.  Here are a few reasons why I like them. 1. You lay down a base coat and its not dark enough you just go over your image again and it gets 1/2 shade darker. 2. You can color over different colors and you don't end up with brown. 3. Blender pen I could go on and on about them I only have 21 of them and I want more lol.  What I did was I went through and picked colors that I knew I was going to use the most.  I didn't like all of the colors in the "sets".  If you are on the fence about them buy a few in the same color family, to try them out.  It can be really confusing at first with the letter and the numbering system, but its really easy.  I don...

I did the inspiration challenge over on SCS {IC129).  I knew I wanted to use my new Unity Stamps I just got in the mail, so I chose the dragonfly.  These are really big stamps, so if you order them...they seriously are big.  I was fiddling with the sketch a lot before I produced this.  It just looked so much better as a one layer card.  To give it dimmesion and texture, I used the cat tails and grass from PapertreyInk's Pond Life stamp set, the sentiment is from the same set. I really cannot do a card with out ribbon I don't think, so since this is going to a man, I used the hemp twine, which made me feel better >" The card is going to one of our friends who just finished flight school, so the sentiment is really perfect in this case.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Materials used: River Rock card stock, hemp twine, copic pens, tim holtz black soot ink, spring moss ink, chocolate chip ink, Unity Stamps, Papertrey Ink stamps
