Hello Lovely

Hi again stamping friends, Busy busy with trying to arrange my move so this will be it for several days. If you comment and I don't respond right away please accept my apologies. I am trying to deal with arranging help when I get to MN and help when I get back and where am I going to put all my stuff. Plus  dealing with getting ready for my niece's wedding reception. UGH! JUST SHOOT ME! Talk about stress. I know one day at a time, one step at a time, Have Faith, Yes I know all that but tell my brain that. LOL! Anyway, I am working tonight, all day tomorrow and then some day soon going up to move my household items back here. 

Today my card uses again Hello Lovely, Notable Notions and the Dictionary BG stamp and the Modern Mosaic EF.  I hope you all have a great but safe 4th. Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day.  
Hugs, Bev 

Hello Lovely Card

Hello Peeps, How are you all doing today?  I am headed to church in a bit and glad the rain has moved out of here. The power was off in the night and I was awakened in the middle of the night by an annoying sound coming from the kitchen and it was the clock on the stove.  We got over a 1/4" of rain and wow it came down in buckets at times yesterday. I drove through it on my way home from getting my brakes done. I was going to go to church when I got home from Irv's but was so tired I wanted a nap.  I also received a surprise phone call from Jane (my love Mike's sister)   and she is in town and wanted to see me. I am so excited and will meet her on Monday. I made a special something for her that I will show you after I meet with her.  It will be so great to see her again. 

Okay, I mentioned that Julia  Sager and I did a swap with the Hello Lovely stamp set? You can click on her name and then click on the link to get to her creative blog. Well, anyway this was my card for her. I used the new Dictionary Background stamp and Hello Lovely sets. My card base is Baked Brown Sugar and the Hello Lovely images were stamped with Crisp Cantaloupe, Baked Brown Sugar and Bermuda Bay all over the Dictionary stamped image. Doesn't it look like DSP? I thought so too. The tag was die cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits and tied on with Linen Thread. 

I hope your weekend ends up to be a great one. Please make sure you let me know if you have any questions on my card. I would love to get together with you and your friends and show you some new techniques with the new stamps. If you live far away I can send you a "Party In A Box".  Have a crafty weekend stamping or scrapping, which ever. 
Thanks so much for stopping by. Hugs, Bev

Retro Sketch 69 Perfect Blend Card

Good Sunday morning stamping friends. Here is a card I stamped last night using the Perfect Blend stamp set and the cool background stamp Dictionary. These were my two had to haves from the new book. I stamped the to go coffee cup in Chocolate Chip on  Whisper White Card Stock and then again on the tag from the Tag A Bag Accessory Kit. I paper Pieced the cup together then after stamping. I textured a piece of Chocolate Chip CS with the new Alphabet Press EF. Then with the new Artisan Label Punch I punched out the greeting.  I love how this turned out, don't you. This stamp set is so stinkin' cute. Of course I had to stamp some little coffee splats too using Gorgeous Grunge. :-)

Thanks for stopping by today. This is what I will be dealing with:

Yes, I picked another 11 pounds of strawberries yesterday. And and can you tell I like coffee. The fabric was what I recovered these chairs with. The berries are really redder than they look. SO GOOD!  
Better get to them and let me know if you have any questions. Hugs, Bev
