Hi again stamping buddies, it is Mad Monday I guess as I have another card to share with you today. I am tired and want to get to bed so will get right to it. I made this card for two challenges which is Dynamic Duos, a color challenge and Sweet Sunday Sketch a layout challenge. This isn't my most favorite card ever that is for sure! I had this background done for a Christmas card from my downline meeting swap and I figured I would use it for the color. I made the banners and wheeled the Travel Journal Builder Wheel on one of the Certainly Celery Banners with Always Artichoke ink. These were the duo colors to use. I used the Autumn Accents Bigz Die again and first I had the oak leaf stamped on the rectangle but it needed something so I got out my die and cut it out and then I inked the stamp and laid my card stock on top and put a piece of printer paper over and rubbed the image onto the card stock. I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving and then colored some pearls with my Almost Artichoke marker and let them dry and then attached them to my card to match the layout.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Wonderfall, Travel Journal Builder Wheel
Card Stock: Always Artichoke, Certainly Celery
Inks: Always Artichoke Ink Pad and Marker
Tools and Accessories: Big Shot, Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Autumn Accents Bigz Die, Basic Pearls, Dimensionals.

Hi stamping friends, I hope you are having a blessed Sunday. I guess I am going to be forced to go back to the doctor. I can't believe it. I keep hacking and spitting up crap and I don't seem to be getting better. GRRR! It sure is Fall in the air and is down right a beautiful but chilly day. Crisp to say the least. I went to church but didn't even take communion because I figured I might choke and sure didn't want to spread my bad germs drinking the blood or wine. After church I dropped off some of the Salsa Verde to my BFF because they weren't at church. She wasn't home so I left it with her husband. Then I came home and fixed myself a big breakfast and then started my laundry. It is a beautiful day and I think I will take a nice walk this afternoon.
Here is a card I made for the Freshly Made Sketch this week. I used the Wonderfall and Day of Gratitude set and made a Thanksgiving card so when the time comes I will be ready. I better start working on Halloween cards too. I thought this card turned out pretty, don't you? I love the colors in that Orchard Harvest DSP. Tee Hee Hee, I just grabbed a Kleenex and I love the box so may have to make a card in those colors again for my own color challenge. Okay I know I must have to much mucus and snot in my head that I got off track. Sorry! I think most of the stuff on my card is explanatory but I will tell you how I made my tag. I stamped the Happy Thanksgiving from the Teeny Tiny Wishes and stuck the end through the bottom of the Ticket Duo Builder Punch and punched the end. Then sponged the edges with Island Indigo ink. Then I stamped another leaf from the Day of Gratitude set and fussy cut around it and popped it up in my card for some more dimension.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Wonderfall, Day Of Gratitude, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Card Stock: Island Indigo, Naturals Ivory, Orchard Harvest DSP
Inks: Island Indigo, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Lucky Limeade
Tools: Big Shot, Argyle Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Finishing Touches Edgelits, Window Frames Collection Framelits, Essestials Paper Piercing Pack, Ticket Duo Builder Punch, Sponge, Dimensionals.
I hope you will have a lovely rest of the weekend and bless you for stopping by today. Let me know if you have questions on my card. Hugs, Bev

Hi stamping friends and thank God it is Friday. For this being a short work week it sure was long. I had the strangest thing happen to me yesterday. I had to work all week this week which is rare but with needing 3 new tires since August 1st I need the money. I was feeling fine yesterday but all of a sudden I felt really bad and ran to the bathroom thinking I was going to puke. I couldn't so came back up to the front of the store and then it came again and I ended up running over to the big garbage container and puked my guts out. Yes real nice puking my guts out as people are coming in and out of the store. I don't know what it was but I ended up comping home by 1:30 and came home and put my PJ's on and I went to bed. I slept for a while and of course didn't have any 7-UP or crackers here so didn't have much. I felt better though when I got up and then I knew I had ground beef that I wanted to make some stuffed peppers with and make some taco meat with the rest of it. I did get that done last night and ended up eating a small one late last night. I felt better and went to work and surprised every one that was there yesterday as they thought I must really be sick. I sure am not sure what it was but I am over it. I went to my BFF's to pick up tomatoes but they all aren't ripe so I can make for more salsa and stewed tomatoes.
So on to my card. I used the Wonderfall Stamp set for the leaves and the greeting is from the Day of Gratitude stamp set. My layout is from the the Sketchbook Saturday Challenge. My base card stock is Cajun Craze and Naturals Ivory. I used the Orchard Harvest DSP and used Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, Raspberry Ripple for the colors of my leaves and then textured each one with almost matching embossing folders. They were Perfect Polka Dots, Woodgrain, and the Square Lattice Embossing Folders.
Here are the details:
Stamp Sets: Wonderfall, Day of Gratitude
Card Stock: Cajun Craze, Naturals Ivory, Orchard Harvest DSP
Inks: Cajun Craze, Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo, Raspberry Ripple
Tools: Autumn Accents Bigz Die, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Woodgrain Textured Impressions Folder, Brushed Bronze Designer Buttons, Baker's Twine, Linen Thread.

Hi again stampers. I thought I was only going to be able to post my last stamp a stack card because I had already taken a pic of it and the battery was dead in my Kodak. Ah, I found another one. I thought I had bought two and luckily I did because I didn't have two hours to waste to run to town and back to get another one. I hate not blogging. I think it has come an addiction. LOL! I took some cards into town yesterday to show my recruit and her secretary and the sec asked how much I liked to stamp. I told her I would rather stamp than do anything else in the world. Well if I had my love ask me to go on a trip around the world I would go. I have to find a love first of course. Okay i know I am a bit off my rocker. LOL!
Okay my card yes my card. This weeks Casology Challenge is GREEN so here is my card. I used Old Olive and Lucky Limeade and stamped the Wonderfall leaves with Versamark on Lucky Limeade and die cut it out with the Window Frames Collection and then textured it with the Woodgrain EF. I know I added a Scallop Dots Ribbon but it was just too naked and I just can't do that. I stamped the Happy Birthday from Beautiful Birthday.
Stamp Sets: Wonderfall, Beautiful Birthday
Card Stock, Old Olive, Lucky Limeade
Inks: Old Olive, Versamark
Tools: Big Shot, Window Frames Collection Framelits, Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Scallop Dots Ribbon.
Have a great day. I need to get to stamping sympathy cards for my festival. Seems we need a lot of them.
Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment. Hugs, Bev

Hi there stamping friends, another card for you today. I stamped this card for the iSpy Sketches Challenge and used the Waterfall set that I just love love love. I guess I like fall that's why. I did go out and water what is left in my garden and picked the peppers that were ready. I decided to retake pics of my kitchen so moved things out and did that and sent them to my sister to relist my house for me if she will. I am hoping so. I miss my family so much and wish I would get a buyer. Ahh, my neighbors just came over. I had called them to see if they needed
any needles to check your blood sugar as I know he is a diabetic. Mike
needed them because of his cancer and had tons of them. When my sisters
were here we cleaned out my linen closet to get rid of stuff and I
didn't want to throw that kind of stuff away as I know it is so
expensive for people. They took it all and were happy that I could help
them out.
Anyway, on to my card. I used More Mustard CS and added a layer I textured with the Chevron EF and then stamped that darling border from Summer Silhouettes onto Natural Ivory CS. Then layered the Scallop Dots Ribbon down my card. Then I die cut the leaves out with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die and stamped those in Bravo Burgundy, Old Olive and More Mustard and attached a Naturals Designer Button to the base of the leaves. Then I stamped the words from the Pursuit of Happiness set and punched it out with the 1-3/4" Circle Punch I use my color spritzer with the Bravo Burgundy Marker. I really like how it turned out don't you?
Here are the details for my card:
Stamp Sets: Wonderfall, Pursuit Of Happiness
Card Stock: More Mustard, Naturals Ivory
Inks: More Mustard, Bravo Burgundy Ink Pad and Marker, Old Olive
Tools: Big Shot, Woodgrain Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Color Spritzer Tool, Naturals Designer Buttons, More Mustard Scallop Dots Ribbon, Dimensionals
