TGIF stamping friends, oh it has been chilly in the mornings as I sit her in my jams but I guess the warm temps are going to come back next week. I hope so as the tomatoes aren't doing so good in this cool weather we have been having.
Yesterday morning I picked all these apples at the farm, yes a ton of them. I can't get to my recipes since they are somewhere in my storage unit so I printed one off for apple pie filling but it was the freezer kind. My laptop wouldn't work at Irv's and I forgot my battery charger for my phone so I didn't want to run that down either by checking on the web so I thought oh heck I will just start cutting them up and freeze them. I did 2 quarts was all as I ran out of lemon juice and no vinegar to be found. Forget the apple job and on to fixing supper for us. I wasn't very organized to say the least so will have to try this weekend. I talked to my friend last night and got the recipe I was looking for so now I can be more organized. Just too much on my plate I guess but I did manage to stamp this card yesterday morning. YAY!
My dear BFF has her birthday today, so this is her card and didn't it turn out pretty? I used the sketch for the Retrosketch this week which I just loved. I have wanted to use this set for a bit but haven't gotten it out. I love it though. I used Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive Ink and just stamped off on my scratch paper for the first layer of color and then full strength on the top layer of the flowers.
Here is the recipe:
Stamp Sets: Too Kind, Label Love
Card Stock & Papers: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, Old Olive, Brights DSP
Inks: Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive
Tools and Accessories: Decorative Label Punch, Artisan Label Punch

and please drop by and check out the other darling cards.
I hope you have a terrific Friday and I hope to be back sometime this weekend. I am getting excited about my trip to Ohio next week to see a good friend I met at Convention one year. I love this Stampin' Up! job.
Let me know if you have any questions about my card.
Off to get outside. Hugs, Bev
TGIF stamping peeps. I hope you have a fun filled weekend planned ahead. Mine is pretty relaxed really except to get my plan of attack ready to go pack up my house if I find out it is really sold this time. UGH! The waiting pains. I already got a load of laundry done this morning since I have to fight for the laundry here. LOL! It is supposed to be a cooler sunny day here today. I baked an upside down Rhubarb strawberry cake yesterday to take some to my mechanic that is retiring today. I still need to stamp his card so I better get on that too.
So don't you just love it when you get a new punch and you can play with it and see how fun it is? Well, I have a lot of DSP that is retired so I thought I would start making some cards and using it up and here is one I made the other day. I used the retired Afternoon Daydream Simply Scrappin' Kit DSP and the Papillon Potpourri stamp set and the Bitty Butterfly Punch and then the Artisan Label Punch and the matching Label Love stamp set. Another thing that I love is punches that match stamp sets and that Stampin' UP! bundles them so you can get them at a discount. SO SWEET! This You're a Gem is a retired stamp set. I punched that out with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch. The colors are Raspberry Ripple, More Mustard(retired) and Pool Party. I thought it turned out sweet and cute, don't you?
I hope you have a terrific day and bless you for stopping by. Let me know if you have any questions on my card and also if you need anything from Stampin' Up! I would be happy to help. LIVE LOVE LAUGH STAMP! Hugs, Bev
