One (Stamp) Love

The common stamp is from Stampington Co. I love it, although I really don't know what to do with it. Here's a couple of things I came up with...


[Sentiment from Cats Life Press.]



[Signature background, damask and flourish from Judikins (used the other half of the stamped paper from the card in the previous post).]

Variety Pack

Hi. Been back to stamping once or twice since starting my new job. Here's a few I made...

Quick and simple. There's a little sheep on the onesie in white that you can't see. [Still don't know who makes the onesie and sentiment is AMuse.]



Sentiment is opposite from the one above... I guess that's the circle of life... [Tree background, flourish and damask are Judikins. Bird is a miniature version of the one I'm in love with from Invoke. Sentiment from My Sentiments Exactly.]



Another simple card. [Stamp from Paperbag Studios.]

Simple Cards, Knitting, and Sewing

Hi! I've finally made some cards! I am obsessed with this bird from Cats Life Press and I keep finding myself using it in the same place with the words in the same place (bird right side and words upper left). I also love Stickles.

Thank you from Impress. I used Stickles as accents.


I went crazy with the orange and yellow Stickles.

====================================================================

Here's my Knitted and Sewed goods. I started knitting in December so don't laugh... I also cannot seem to get my scarf to uncurl. I think I'm just too lazy to do much about it though. Below is my second-made scarf, encircling a reusable java jacket that I made. It fits paper cups from your local java joint. The first scarf I made was lost the day I finished making it! So sad.

My first hat. I had to put the "Monkey Business" pin on to hide a couple holes I made.


Hope you're all having a good day and take care!

A hold on the projects

Hi. I'm in the middle (or beginning) of studying for the NCLEX so there's no card projects to post. I have no creativity right now for that stuff. I did, however, create a yoga mat holder. It's not perfect but works good enough. Simple. I will take a pic and post it later (just like my knitting projects.) I am making java jackets that fit onto paper coffee cups and hope to get them on Etsy. I'll post those too, when I finish them all!

I hope you all have had a nice beginning of 2008 and continue to have a fantastic year.

Cheers!

Motivated by an email

I got my first email from my cards today (WhatUpEchidna@gmail.com)! I feel SO special. I also feel like I REALLY need to start posting more. So here's a Christmas card I selvaged from this other style that really needed something else (in other words, it was too boring for me). I have to tell you that I am in love with Stickles right now. Oh, the hat is colored with prismacolor pens and the white parts have liquid appliqué added and puffed with the heat gun.


This is a thank you card that I made into Christmas gifts. I sent packs of 8 or 10 (depending on how lazy or motivated I was feeling) to family and friends. It's also the style that I auctioned off at school to help my senior class! BTW I'm almost a full fledged nurse! Just need to take the NCLEX and have someone hire me!


Well, take care. Hope you had a fantastic Christmas and I wish you all the best in the new year. I hope that I can create more cards to share, but I am now engrossed with knitting (my newest hobby, started 1 month ago!). I'll post pictures of my scarves and hat later. Cheers!
