<br />
After many years of gathering dust, my sewing machine has finally made a comeback. I took my first quilting class in October and have been steadily learning how to piece, baste, quilt and finish these quilts. Needless to say I am hooked. I have been pinning all sorts of patterns and taking additional classes to improve my skills. I have really enjoyed the process and it helps me to de-stress and relax. My only issue now is fitting all the fabric in with my paper and ink in my little crafting closet. I think I may have to officially take over the dining room:)<br />

It has been awhile since I have posted some new cards. It seems like I need to send them out right away so I don't have time to photograph and share them on my blog. Well, I had a bit of time today and wanted to post 3 new cards. I needed quite a few Thank You cards and created the following using sketches from <a href="http://deconstructingjen.com/">Deconstructing Jen</a> and <a href="http://retrosketches.blogspot.com/">RetroSketches</a>. I love using sketches to pull projects together quickly. A good sketch, a 6X6 coordinated paper pack and woohoo it's done!</div>

This month, it seems like I need a LOT of thank you cards. I combined two challenges for this Tap Tap Tap thank you. The color challenge was really difficult for me combining pear pizzazz, crisp cantaloupe, soft suede and soft sky. I tried to keep the brightest color as the focal point and used the <a href="http://www.kgiron.blogspot.com/">Sweet Sunday Sketch</a> Challenge for more inspiration.<br />

I made this card for 2 challenges today. Splitcoast Stampers color challenge using calypso coral, daffodil delight and old olive paired with this week's <a href="http://retrosketches.blogspot.com/">Retrosketches</a> challenge. The colors were a bit odd for me so I wanted to use a lot of white space. I love the simplicity of Retrosketches challenges so I went there for inspiration.<br />
<br />
Stamps - SU Yippee Skippy, Doodle Bug - Welcome Home<br />
Paper - daffodil delight, whisper white, calypso coral, assorted dsp<br />
Ink - Momento tuxedo black, daffodil delight<br />
Assessories - pearls<br />

Here is a card I made for my lovely sister. This stamp set, "Fancy Folk Art" from <a href="https://www.papertreyink.com/">Papertrey Ink,</a> always makes me think of her. I wish I could be with her on her birthday and have a few refreshing beverages to celebrate, but I have to wait until this summer to see her. We will make up for lost time then.</div>

Here is a quick thank you card I made using last week's <a href="http://retrosketches.blogspot.com/">Retro Sketch</a>. My son needed some thank you cards and I quickly made 3 of these. I used the <a href="http://tayloredexpressions.com/">Taylored Expressions</a> March Key Ingredients Kit in combination with the sketch for a quick card. I love using the kits with sketches for quick and coordinated cards. The two combined makes it very easy to make something I am happy with and enjoy giving to others.<br />

Last month our stamp group had a challenge to use Washi Tape on our cards. Here is my card inspired by <a href="http://alicecarman.wordpress.com/">Cards by Alice</a>. You can see her beautiful Easter creation by <a href="http://alicecarman.wordpress.com/2012/04/12/ideas-for-washi-tape/">clicking here.</a> I was in the mood for spring so I used some bright colors for my flower. I have picked up Washi Tape more for my Erin Condren Planner than for making cards but find I use it for so many other things. I put in on my phone charger and earbuds so no one else can claim them:)</div>

When I saw this stamp from <a href="http://unitystampco.com/">Unity Stamp Company</a>, I HAD to get it. I paired this awesome little stamp with this week's sketch from <a href="http://retrosketches.blogspot.com/">Retrosketches</a>. It's a tradition here to play 50 Cent's "In Da' Club" which opens with "Go Shawty, It's your birthday.." for my kids birthday to wake them up. Megan and Jake's birthdays are just a few weeks apart and I used the new stamp for both their cards. I just changed up the color scheme. I know they will also want this stamp for their friend's birthday cards as well. It's such a fun little set!</div>

It's been ages since I have post to my blog. Even though I am continuing to stamp, I haven't had the opportunity to take photos and share my projects. I am hoping that will change and that I can at least post once a week.<br />
<br />
Here is a card I created for our stamp group. I wanted to make a card that I could give to my husband and one that didn't have the traditional valentine colors. I wanted a clean simple look but decided to give it some dimension by recessing the heart a few layers down.<br />
<br />
Valentine's day is my son's birthday so I will be working on a card for him. I just ordered some stamps that are to arrive today and I can't wait to use them.<br />
<br />
Paper - basic black, whisper white, daffodil delight, coastal cabana, island indigo and smoky slate<br />
Stamps - TAWS Good Point, TAWS Iconic, Alphabet<br />
Accessories - black brads, circle dies<br />

Here is the spooky little tabletop/mantle decoration we created for our last stamp club. I used My Digital Studio to create the letters for this piece. Witches Brew Designer Series Paper creates a nice colorful background for this Halloween decoration. The bats and glitter spider were extras from the craft store.<br />
<br />
Now if I can just get my little Boo kitty to leave the bats alone:)<br />

Megan needed an introduction/hello card for her little sister at school so I thought I would try out this cute little chick. I used this weeks sketch from <a href="http://deconstructingjen.com/deconstructed-sketch-111/">Deconstructed Sketch 111 </a>to guide my design. I tried to keep it CAS and bright so I used the white background in lieu of designer paper. I am having so much fun trying out my new <a href="http://thealleywaystamps.blogspot.com/">TAW</a> sets.<br />

OK, I just had to keep stamping since it has been a while and I am having so much fun with my new TAW sets. This card is for my sister since I don't know what I would do without that woman. I started with just the sentiment and thought I needed something extra for the card although I wanted to keep it CAS. I added the "you are here" at the last minute and like how it turned out. Oooh, to have a bit more time to ink up a few more sets - but the kids and the dogs are calling.</div>

I have just started a new blog and wanted to invite you to join if you will. It should be an interesting ride.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I am still stamping and paper crafting, but I swear I have to get my projects out the door so fast I don't have time to take pictures and blog about them. I am hoping that will all calm down this fall when the kids are back in school.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer spending time with your loved ones and creating fabulous things. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Happy Stamping!</div>

Here is a quick birthday card I made for a friend today. With the kid's schedule these days. I NEED quick. I just love the papers from My Mind's Eye. Aren't they yummy? It is from the 6x6 pad -Collectable "Memorable". I received this as part of a Taylored Expressions key ingredient kit. These kits are so fun and it is easy to pull projects together quickly with all the beautifully coordinated items. A little ribbon, flower, button and a sentiment and it is done.<br />
<br />
Paper - My Minds Eye Collectable "Memorable", very vanilla and yellow card stock<br />
Stamp- A Fitting Occasion <br />
Ink - Rose Red<br />
Accessories - ribbon, button, paper daisy, bakers twine, 1" circle punch<br />

<br />
Ahhh, and here is a nice glass of wine to celebrate a ruthless purge and sparkling condition of my crafting closet. I haven't been stamping much but have started Spring Cleaning the house. Not only is it time to spring cleaning time, but the new Stampin' Up! catalog is soon to be released and it's time to make way for some lovely new products.<br />
<br />
So, here you can see how ruthless I really am. I may regret getting rid of some of these sets, but I know I have My Digital Studio as a backup for most of them. It does feel very good to open up some space and DUST EVERYTHING OFF. I believe this is about 42 sets, 6 wheels and not shown is a stack of paper and accessories about 12" high. <br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
AND OOh, Aahhhh an empty shelf!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcy5WAwrD1zwhk5lhT6xdIpyOOUelPMEt-pdEAsjl0FaQw1PpH42kyOSbydD2bSVZcKHw1SjJjtm4IgJWeiRGu7bfEZeHmNG-CBEXcXdItx0D0sXWzcm3wLrz-3g_pH4n-qOAAIrTrKMI/s1600/0429_6991.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcy5WAwrD1zwhk5lhT6xdIpyOOUelPMEt-pdEAsjl0FaQw1PpH42kyOSbydD2bSVZcKHw1SjJjtm4IgJWeiRGu7bfEZeHmNG-CBEXcXdItx0D0sXWzcm3wLrz-3g_pH4n-qOAAIrTrKMI/s400/0429_6991.JPG" width="257" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Now, I will have to make sure I don't fill this shelf up too fast. Some space will be taken up by my wood sets that I will transfer to the new wood storage boxes when they are available May 31st. I am very excited for the new storage boxes!<br />
<br />
I am offering my customers first dibs at my stamp sets and then will donate the rest to Goodwill. What do you do with your purged crafting supplies?<br />

Last night was the first evening of a new stamp club. It was so fun getting to meet such a great group of women and showing them the addictive fun of Stampin' Up!. We had an Easter theme and I demonstrated how to create these little baskets. The basket is built around the bottom of a Dixie Cup . These would be great favors for an Easter table and filled with little jelly beans or a colored egg. </div>

My sister the quilter has a birthday this week and I am sending this off today. I thought this Happy Hexagon die resembled a quilt pattern. I added a bit of stitching to the sentiment ( I need to take my machine in for adjustment - the stitching is a bit off) The matching button was created by stacking 1" circle punched card stock and covering with designer paper then coating with Crystal Effects.</div>
