County Fair

100_9277

Doesn't this just remind your of a county fair????  I love fairs - everything from the cotton candy to the carmel apples...the smells and the sounds of people screaming for their lives on the rides...the kids holding mom & dad's hand as they walk the midway.  

I have so many fond memories of the county fair.  Something you may not know about me...I used to raise, train and show horses when I was a teen.  The county fair was a HUGE deal.  We trailered up our horses in the August heat and headed for the grounds where we stayed for 4 days.  The dorms were a huge hit with us - so much giggling and horsing around.  Saturday was the big show day - I showed in several different categories - western pleasure, horsemanship, showmanship and then the racing competitions - barrel racing and pole bending.  I always went home with several trophies and lots of great memories.

I found this photo in a box of old photos...this was a fabulous horse.  What a beauty!  His name was Shane, an Arabian Palomino and I got him as "green broke" - meaning he had been ridden, but didn't have much training.  We spent every weekend in the summer getting up before dawn - loading horses and heading to one of the many horse shows in the state of Wisconsin...just gearing up for that big FAIR!

So anyways...here's another fabulous card made with the Feeling Sentimental stamp set - FREE during Sale-a-Bration!

The inside of the card uses the You're Amazing stamp set - I've used this Happy Birthday greeting so many times this year!!!

Sick of Winter?

100_9274

Here's the fourth card I made with the Secret Garden stamp set.  Do you have to have it yet???  There's so many possibilities with this stamp set - I just love it!  I found this card online and just had to make one of my own.  I love the new striped organdy ribbon - it comes in Melon Mambo, Marina Misst and Old Olive - so pretty!

I used Lucky Limeade for my card base and tucked a layer of Pacific Point in there to make my Whisper White layer pop.  The little tiny green polka dotted designer paper comes from Sunshine & Sprinkles.

Did you notice the turquoise colored rhinestone?  I just colored it with a sharpie marker - Waaaa laaaa!

Pink Ripples

100_9264

And another card using the Secret Garden stamp set!  I combined it with Vintage Verses and Bloomin' Marvelous - both FREE items suring Sale-A-Bration!!!!  You can get the Secret Garden stamp set and framelits in a bundle to save too!

My card base is Pretty In Pink and I used Raspberry Ripple, Very Vanilla and Crumb Cake too.

The Apothecary Accents Framelits were perfect for my layers - did you notice the border behind my greeting?  I just took the same shape and cut it so I could spread it out on the back to make the border layer...super easy!!!

Spring Fever Anyone???

100_9255

Isn't this pretty?  I just love the Secret Garden stamp set and matching framelits.  I used the Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder on the Island Indigo card base - cut 11 x 4-1/4.  Then layered Soft Suede and die cut the bottom edge with the Finishing Touches Edgelit die.  My flower layer is on Basic Black - it really makes it pop!

I stamped my flowers with Black StazOn ink and colored them in using an Aqua Painter (MY FAV) and Island Indigo reinker.  I stamped the leaves in Soft Suede.  The Oh Happy Day comes from the Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set - a FREE set during Sale-A-Bration!  A Very Vanilla satin bow on the side was the perfect embellishment.

I have four more cards made up to share with you using the Secret Garden stamp set and matching dies.  Make sure to stop by again soon!

Another Pretty Dress!

100_9250

Here's another pretty card I made with the DRESS UPS Framelits.  This card was one of the selections at the Card:Scrap Buffet last Saturday!  If you haven't been to the buffet yet - PLEASE make some time for yourself and come stamp with us!  It's so fun - you get to choose from 16 different cards and 4 different scrapbook pages - just like a food buffet!!!

The next buffet is on Saturday, March 16th from 9am - 1pm at Trinity Lutheran School in Menasha - you can choose 8 cards or 4 scrapbook pages or a combination of the two for $18.

100_9251

I used the Elements of Style stamp in Pool Party ink on the oval.  The Lacy Brocade embossing folder was perfect for the background of the Coral Calypso cardstock layer.  The belt on the dress is just a sliver of cardstock.  My dress pattern comes to you in the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper - FREE until March 22 with your qualifying order through Sale-A-Bration.  Teeny Tiny Wishes provides the "just for you" stamped in black and punched with the Word Window Punch - layered on the Modern Label Punch black layer.

Don't you just love the flower???  Fabric Flowers are my all time favorite!
