Here is another one of those simple whisper white cards with NO layers .. I used my reinkers ( cool carribbean, and marigold morning ) along with my aqua painter to color the images in. I love how vibrant the colors are when using the reinkers .. Just squeeze a couple drops of reinkers into the lid of your ink pad and using your aqua painter or your blender pen you can just pick the color up from the lid . For this card I used the new sell-a-bration set called" Delight in life ". I also made a mask for the flower and stamped the background ( making a mask is simple )
Use a scrap piece of cs and stamp image then cut out .. this image will then be laid on top of the card image so I can stamp right on top of it without interferring with the card image .. I keep all my masks in the stamp set so just in case I may want to do the masking thing again in the near future. Here is another discription of MASKING if your interested .
Last nights club meeting was fun .. lots of laughs as usual. We had the 6 of us there… What more could anyone want friends, Food ,Stamping and a warm buliding YAHOO! Yes Warm buliding is the word these past few days .. I am just SO thankful we have not got dumped on with snow like many of you have already .. I really think the snow is pretty But when you have a bad knee going on in that snow is NO fun!!
My hubby bought me a pair of clippers Hee! Hee! ( at least thats what I call them ) a few years ago ..They are actually called GET-A-GRIP (advanced) they cost under 20.00 bucks on that site I listed above and I cant tell you how great these grips really are. I wear the medium size and I wear a shoe size of 8.5 .. these grips stretch right over my shoes .. and I have had mine like I said for over 3 years now and I havent replaced the grips yet .. But this site also sells the replacements for those also .. YAHOO! I can go out in the snow and ice with the comfort of not feeling like I will slip and fall .. and falling for me would not be good since one of my left knee no longer bends ( I have lost 30% mobility in my left knee ) Have you heard the saying .. I’m falling and I cant get up? .. Thats me NO kidding . These grips are so easy to put on and I can wear them with my tennis shoes ( which I am in 24/7.. Gotta love tennis shoes .. I just wouldnt wear them on certain flooring since the grips on the bottom do leave tiny hole marks ( my front wood porch is living proof )
Well I am off to get around for church this morning . the the whole month of Dec our lesson for Sunday school is focused on Jesus Birth .. ( The REAL reason of CHRISTMAS ) Today our lesson tells us about the angels who spoke to Mary and Joseph.. Hey have you seen THE Nativity Story yet ? Me and my mom will be seeing this movie maybe this upcoming week ( cant wait ) hubby and daughter went and seen it with the youth group and I didnt go since I was getting things ready for my craft show .. anywho .. I really really want to see it .. hubby and daughter said its great!! Really makes you think of all they went through ( and I am sure it wasnt even 1/2 of ALL they went through Kinda like the "Passion of the Christ " just gave a glimpse of what happened to Jesus .. Loved that Movie, anyway I cant wait to see The Nativity Story.
Looking forward to the play tonight at church with the little ones .. My big part is directing the kids when to go on stage ..YAHOO! I can handle that right ? We have our last pratice today after church at 2:00pm and will be there until service starts again at 6:00pm
Have a Great Sunday and see you tommorrow
Until Later … Happy Stampin!!












Hi Dawn! I have seen The Nativity Story and it is a great story. I like the idea of your grips! It sounds like Yak Tracks only in a more mild version. We are off to Vegas today so no comments from me again until Thursday! Have a great week! ~Lorie
Dawn, your card is very pretty. It has such a soft look to it. I did pre-order this set and it will be here tomorrow. 🙂 After I am all done running around doing my errands I will come home and start cutting my stamps sets.Not sure I will have time to stamp though.
I also have the Get-A -Grips. I bought a pair about 4 years ago. Five years ago I fell on the ice and hurt my foot good. I also got a herniated disc in my back from that fall. It haunts me every day. Anyway, I became quite scared to walk in the snow and would not walk outdoors if I even thought there was ice outside. The grippers are amazing and helped me to get back most of my confidence to walk in the snow without fear. :)They are awesome. Glad to hear that you have them too.

Great job! You always seem to post such wonderful work making me want that set even more! No wonder you are so successful.
