Yesterday I got to stamp with a couple of my new sets from the Spring mini YAHOO!. For my card post today I used my new set "Glorious gift" all in all a very simple card But I really love the way it all came together in the end . I used cool Caribbean and certainly celery with whisper white card stock along with the Cool Caribbean and certainly celery and black Ink .I stamped the back ground with the little flower from this set and highlighted the centers with my white gel pen . For the main focal image I stamped the saying in Black on whisper white and then I used my dauber in cool Caribbean to make the words POP out . stamped the flowers in cool Caribbean and certainly celery cut out and raised them up with a dimensional .. Of course I added alot of bling with dazzling diamonds and a tiny jewel dot to the centers ..Then I just added celery GG ribbon ..I really feel in love with this set Just for that saying so it wasn’t hard to keep this card centered around that saying that I first feel in love with. To be honest I really haven’t stamped in the last few days NOT that I lost my stampin mojo But because of everything that is going on here in our life .. especially since we got that Job opportunity for my hubby which will all make sense shortly. It seems I have so Many things I want to tell you all but the time isn’t right concerning hubbys job, My Big submission I sent in to SU! last week , and the Other BIG news on the horizon concerning stamping BUT I can tell you now that I was NOT picked to be a display stamper for SU! convention this year Boo Hoo at least I know I didn’t receive the congratulations email so Now I wait to confirm this announcement with a letter from SU! that says I was not chosen , SO you all know what that means ..I will be sharing a couple of the projects I did send in for this contest in the upcoming days. a couple of the cards I did make yesterday will be heading out to SU! for their March contest " Breath of Spring " since yesterday everything I made was with the Spring mini and this is what that category calls for ( Samples with the spring minis ) so stay tuned for those samples soon also .. Boy it sure seems like I am a Big teaser when it comes to sharing all the surprises in my life ..I am sorry about that . I will say that yesterdays stampin fun seemed to be centered around my new set Crab & Company ..OH boy this set is sooo much fun to play with .
Yesterday turned into a really yucky weather day here in Michigan with ice , wind and tons of rain I still hear the wind howling outside this morning .. seems hard to grasp that Spring is only 19 days away .. OH my goodness I can hardly wait .. I received a email last night from my newest stampin friend Lisa Somerville telling me she bit the bullet and finally got herself a BLOG… Yahoo! Its about time girlie .. Lisa is a Fabulous stamper and I hope you swing by her BLOG and see what she is into with stamping .. She is a SU! Demo and a designer with Technique Junkies which is another one of my most favorite stampin places to visit .. so give her a click with a BIG Hi today.
I am really hoping to continue with my stampin Mojo today Jessie is having her friend Codie spend the night tonight and tomorrow is the BIG Breakfast with our MAYBE new Pastor to be and then tomorrow night the pot luck with him also looking forward to meeting him and his family . Then I realized I set up a class for tomorrow night too ( totally blew my mind about whats all going on tomorrow night with the Pastor pot luck ..I know how could that have happened ?? I don’t know … A Brain Fart I suppose Hee! Hee! ) so I had to call and reschedule the CLASS tomorrow night for a 1/2 hour later than I had planned on . So all is GOOD for tomorrows activities YAHOO!
Enjoy your day & give someone a reason to smile with one of your creations today .. Thanks for peeking in today .. Stay warm and I will see you all tomorrow
Until later .. Happy Stampin!












Beautiful card, Dawn, as usual!!! Can’t wait to hear all the good news you have to tell us. And SU’s loss for not chosing you as display stamper is our gain so we get to see your submissions.
Love,Cheryl
This is such a beautiful card.
Gotta love that Cool Carribean, eh?
You’ve made the stamp set look so elegant yet simple in design and message.
I’ll keep praying for you and your family that Divine Providence will bring you exactly what you need.
Thanks for the new blog link. Lisa’s card is very pretty.
Speaking of stampin’, picture this, last night at my kitchen table (which you know isn’t very big), I had Alex on my left with his homework, Alayna on my right with her homework, and my stampin’ in the middle. We all worked together at the same time! I was able to get 2 cards done for my godchild’s (& niece) birthday. One to give her on her birthday and one to give her with her gifts at her party. Since her mother reads your blog as well, I’m going to have to keep it a secret as to what 2 cards I made for her. If our club order comes in and is delivered before Tuesday, then I can show you them in person before I give them to her.
Beautiful card!
Wow, such a beautiful card!!!
As for not being picked, I never understand how they pick their projects. Everything you make is Gold!! I’ll vote for you to be a “Dirty Girl”!!!
Nice job on the shading behind the words…I find it tricky for mine to look so nice!
Love your card. I have been wondering if I should get this set. Hmmm…
Thank you for sharing your great projects and your life with us.
Dawn,
That’s just gorgeous!
Oh…I got your card today. It’s so fun. I will post it tomorrow morning!
Thank you so much! super big cyber hug!
Love this card. The colors, layout, everything! Sending warm rubber hugs your way with all this snow!! I am so sorry. You can come here for awhile. We’ve got Daffodils blooming! Janet in NC http://www.janetwmarks.typepad.com
Dawn, this card is SO Spring-y and Easter-y! I just love how you shaded the words–that was a perfect touch!
This is beautiful! I love the Cool Caribbean behind the words! It really does make them stand out! I also love all the details with your gel pen!
