Last week's blog candy winner was: Sequin
Well here is day two of my San Diego trip which was spent at Sea World. Fun but so exhausting. We busted out the double stroller - that sucker is heavy. We went on all of the water rides and only got to see the Shamu show but we got a 2nd day so hopefully we will get to see the dolphin show Blue Horizons when we go back. Above is a pic of Lily giving her daddy some love.
A cute picture of my coconut niece Kayla. That girl is even more active and rambunctious than Tyler.
One of the sharks that we saw, one of the cooler exhibits.
A family pic with all 5 of us. Sea World was fun and we spent most of the day there but we had absolutely no energy to stay for fireworks! Back to the hotel and bed for us!
Well I finally got some time to talk about my little vacation. The first day in San Diego was pretty relaxed. We visited Coronado Island. Here we are at Hotel Coronada, we rented bikes and rode around. Really fun. The above picture is my sister, brother-in-law, niece and Lily.
We also visited the park at Mission Bay. Here I am with Lily climbing this rope, not as easy as it looks.
Here we are posing in front of the Bay. More pics this week!
It has been forever since I've been out to the movies. Instead I find myself sitting on the couch watching DVD's. Today's card is a fun use of some popcorn boxes that I had gotten as part of the MFT VIP kit. I cut down the popcorn box and adhered it to my cardstock with my stamped tickets. I stamped the main image on white cardstock cut it out and colored it in with my copics. I am most proud of my brown couch doesn't look like microfiber?
Hi everybody, well it's cooled off a little here, it's actually very nice weather. Today's card uses very little stamping - just the sentiment up in the corner. I cased this from Inking Idaho's site. The vase is made using the ornament punch, I just snipped the bottom to make it more round. The flowers were made using the retired felt flowers from the spring mini. I also used the top note die and paper from the 12x12 paper stack from the same mini. It is so nice to use my stash. I have been stamping like crazy and stockpiling cards so that I have plenty for my blog when school starts. The next year is going to be crazy, my assistant's position was cut so I will be doing extra work and I want to still have things to post. I also want to start up again with my scrapbooking. I have fallen waaaay behind!
Last week's winner is: stampincathy!
Today's card uses Season of Friendship and paper from the 12x12 paper stack from last year's mini. I used the SU top note die and the colors pink pirouette, chocolate and olive.
Todays card uses this Birthday Girl stamp set from MFT and it uses retired Always DP. I paperpieced her dress and presents and colored in the rest of the image with my copics. I also used brown satin ribbon from SU. I really like the colors on this card. I think I'll save it for my sister's birthday.
Today's card celebrates my vacation, going to San Diego for some family fun time! It uses MFT stamp set Going Places and some 4 year old dp from SU from my stash. I used the paper to paperpiece her dress and then used my copics to color in the rest of the image. The punch is SU as well as the pretty satin olive ribbon.
Today's card uses a retired stamp set called Harmony. I stamped the flowers in clear ink and the butterfly is a sizzix die. I found this stamp set in the back of my stamp shelf and it was really fun to find a way to use this stamp set!
The card here uses Eastern Blooms and this bright and fun Maine Blueberry dp and old olive ribbon. The sentiment is a past hostess level I stamp set but I still use it quite a bit. I also used my neglected Top Note die.
Today's card is a simple one. It uses Eastern Blooms in a little bit different way. I stamped the flowers in white on riding hood red and cut them out. I decorated the middle with white pearls that I had on hand. The ribbon is also riding hood red. The white cardstock is embossed with dots . This is a case, I don't remember where but I just love how different the use of the stamp is here or at least different than how I normally use it.
Today's card is a 4x4 card. I rarely do different sized cards, mainly because I like the standard cards for one thing I don't have to worry about having the right size envelope. This stamp comes from one of the new hostess stamp sets Its the thought. I used retired Love Always paper and regal rose cardstock and ribbon.
Last week's winner is: Bethany
I just love this card. It's a case and I can't remember the details so if you're the one I cased this from please let me know. I used some retired dp and this fabulous stamp set called For a Friend. The hearts were punched using the SU triple heart punch and the heart was colored in with a red copic and then I used stickles over it. The circles on the dp have rhinestones on them. The colors are tempting turquoise, chocolate and pink pirouette.
Today's card blends the new with the old. The dp is Haiku from Su and the little stamp is from a new hostess set in the new SU catty. Very simply done.
Here is another card using SU's Choo Choo stamp set - this time the colors are not quite navy and olive. I stamped the railroad track wheel on white and then sponged an olive "grass" below it. The train parts are stamped separately and then attached to the card. The dp is blueberry maine and the base cardstock is old olive. I just love the combo of blue and green. It just seems like such a natural combination.
This card uses the stamp set Good Friend, stamped in the new Cherry Cobbler. The dp is retired slumber party. the bird was stamped separately and cut out. Such a simple and friendly card. I really like this stamp set but I sometimes find that these larger images are difficult to know what to do with! But I think that it really works on this card.
This week's blog candy is this fabulous border and image stamp set from SU. To win just leave a comment on this post and I will select a winner using Random.org next week.
Today's card uses this awesome retired Blueberry Maine dp from SU. I just love these colors of olive and not quite navy. I used the stamp set Eastern Blooms and my rectangle nestabilities. A simple card but I think the colors are dp make it a little more wow.
Don't forget blog candy here. Today's card uses this so cute choo choo set from SU. I really like this stamp set but I don't use it as much as I should. The colors here are teal, ruby red and cocoa. I stamped the railroad track wheel in chocolate and then stamped my train in different colors and cut it out then used dimensionals on the card. It's always nice to have a few little boy cards on hand.
Don't forget blog candy can be found here. Today's card uses up some leftover pieces from an SU Simply Scrappin' kit for a new baby girl. There is no stamping on this card. I did add some punches and ribbon for some snap.
