Train Ride...

I am still here. I've just been busy hitting the beach for a much needed vacation only to come home and stressed out about getting all my swaps done for convention. My cure for that...take a cross-country train ride and finish them on the trip...and that I did! I boarded the train in Harrisburg and had to switch trains in Pittsburgh and Chicago. It was amazing to sit in a little park and look up at the Sears Tower during a layover...anyone know the new name of the Sears Tower??? I boarded on Sunday and arrived here in Salt Lake City Utah at 1:00 Wednesday morning:)So anyway here are some cool pics of my train ride through the Colorado Rockies:) BEAUTIFUL trip!

Christmas in June

I thought my favorite color was Chocolate Chip but sorry to say...Early Espresso has taken it's place! I LOVE this deep color. It goes so nicely with all the color palettes! I also really like the Cherry Cobbler. Customers have been asking for a nice rich Christmassy red...I think you're going to LOVE this one! Colors used...Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, and Very Vanilla. Get a head start on your Christmas cards this year...

Sneak Peek

This is a card that I cased and tweaked from Splitcoaststampers made by Sandi Mac Iver. Love the color combo...

Happy Anniversary

Sneak Peak....there's a few new items on this card....can you find them???? The wording paper that was used is the Presto Paper...sooooo coool! Cardstock used...crumb cake, early espresso, cherry cobbler, pink pirouette. It's hard to see in this picture but the Presto Paper is rubbed with a sponge with the crumb cake stamp pad then smooched and then crumbled in my hand...I like the way it came out! This card is MUCH better in person:)

Masculine Gift Card

A card came across one of my Yahoo Groups that I am a member of called Late Night Stampers which was a gift card holder using the Sweet Scoops stamp set. I am sorry but I cannot find who the original person was who made it to give you credit...THANK YOU THOUGH:)

Here is my version of the card...I have a customer who is hosting a workshop at the end of the month and wanted a masculine birthday card...hint hint:)

Here is the front of the card...

Sorry this picture is a little blurry but it's showing the inside of the card where you take an envelope and fold it in half and cut the top off...

This is then what is inside the envelope "pockets"... the message and then the gift card holder...of course I couldn't find any gift cards to demo with...oh well:(
