TOADILY Happy

WOW can you believe it I am still uploading things I made  this past Saturday? .. Todays " Froggie " upload ( from Saturdays fun !!) is  using my one of my  Great  froggie verbage stamps I got  for 70% off that  I found last week . I must also admit I made some of these for my swaps for regionals also BUT I  used a Toadily different  verbage  for my swaps Wait until you see  the SU! set I used  for that..( will post soon ) way to cute this card is sooo simple its scary ...eeeeeekkkkk soooo scary !! I used Green galore  Cs  stamped my Unfroggetable froggie  in Black ink and  then stamped the verage in the center with black ink also , then using my  Favoritest white gel pen I highlighted his eyeballs  ( really makes them HOP huh? and then I colored the froggies in with green galore marker  then as a finishing touch I took my dauber  and  highlighted the  saying in green galore ( just dabbed it on the saying ).. and what would a card be without alittle doodle? HUMMM I then added little  dots in my white gel pen  to the background,  then added white  wide Organdy ribbon ( I love the way the froggies are peeking out from under the ribbon ).. cute huh?

Yesterday was another productive stampin day I  finished my  christmas swap cards ( I am doing a christmas swap with all my girls )  finished putting those together , made another batch of 12 swap for regionals

  Here are  my finished  swaps I did yesterday for regionals  very simple card here  also.. I love the copper accents  so I embossed the  "Peace " on the  always artichoke side  added copper cord  and  then I added copper  metallic cs  with a copper brad ( from vintage brads)  stamped Peace" in always artichoke  on the confettii ( sp?)  Cream . This technique Not to sure  what we call it ..But I recieved a RAK from Tessa B   and seen her beautiful  card ( she used  perfect plum for hers ( Just beautiful ) anyway heres the low down on how to do this technique. Using" All I have seen " I inked up the image in certainly celery  and then I used the always artichoke marker and  colored inside  the leafs and stem  Huff on it ( I mean do the" Darth Vader "move ) the set is sooo perfect for this  look .. try it you will be hooked ..I promise 

so I finished up  alot of swaps yesterday and then I  got everything  ready for my  big event tommorrow  we are going to be making (2) accordian books  ..I will show you one of my accordian  books we will be making  on tommorrow  blog post ..okey dokey

Then  what to my wondering eyes  should I see coming down the road ?? Why its my UPS man and he is heading right for my house .. YAHOO! Yup I got my SU! order .. I had ordered all the goodies for an upcoming events  on the 29th & Oct  6th ... PLUS  I got my crosshatch BG stamp ..Man do I have a ton of   BG stamps YIKES! Thankgoodness I store them on their sides  on my shelf  and  w/o  their  plastic box .. this does free up some ( saying that lightly )  space

so Until later ... Happy Stampin!!!

Well, I'll tell you, Dawn, you are so lucky you found those stamps, I've been to 5 Meijers, and have yet to find them. Although, I've come across other treasurers at 70% off, just not those stamps.

I've been reading your blog for a week now and I have to say that not only do I love your style, but also the fun way you present everything. I read a lot of blogs and yours is very refreshing to me. I also love your cards (especially your recent Wild About You stuff). Thanks for being out there!
