Rearranging things just a bit!
When I decided to order "Wagon full of fun" from the mini catalog, I thought that there were a few stamps in it that I would not use. The wagon being one of them. There was just something about it that didn't sit right with me. Lately I have been doing a lot of paper piecing on my cards. This means lots of cutting. So looking at the wagon, I finally figure out what it was that I didn't like. The handle! It was at the top of the wagon instead of at the bottom of the wagon. Then it hit me, I can cut this thing apart and put it back together the way I want it! And so not only did I put the handle at the bottom of the wagon, I put it on the right side instead of the left side! So the image is not exactly the way it is in the catalog but that's OK! I like it now!
Every thing on this card is cut out! The Ducks wing is popped up and the egg in the wagon and the wagon are popped up. I used a stipple brush with some Bashful blue ink to create the sky. It took me a couple of hours to make this card but that was OK, my friend was over stamping with me and we just talked and cut up all night!
I hope you enjoy the card and if you have any questions, leave a comment or email me!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and now... GO GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!

Top Note Die is SOO versatile!
Good Friday morning to you all! YAY, the weekend is just a couple of hours away!
I have a few friends coming over tonight to stamp and I can't wait! It's great to get to stamp every day but its even better when you get to do it with your friends! If you are in my area and ever want to stamp with me on Friday nights, just give me a holler... we will make room for you too! The more the merrier I say! It's a great way to be inspired, you get instant feedback on what your doing and heck, its just fun to hang out with your friends... and if you have friends like my friends.... well, that's just an added bonus... the laughter never stops! If your not in my area and need inspiration, maybe you should consider joining LateNightStampers! They are a great group of stampers... very helpful and the art that is shared on that group is phenomenal! The list mom, Sherrill is awesome and is constantly giving away FREE STAMPS!!! So, click here to join and see what its all about. And now on to my project! I just love the Top Note Die. It is so pretty and so versatile. I have been using it to make my quilt cards and thought that while I had it out, I would try some other things with it as well. So here is a card I made with it using the stamp set-Thoughts and Prayers item # 113252. I also used the Manchester Designer Series Paper item #112464, Chocolate Chip Taffeta Ribbon item #109065, Key Tag Punch item #107272 and Large oval punch item #107305. The card stock I used is Craft item #102125, Very Vanilla item #101650 and Chocolate Chip item # 102128. To order any or all of these items, please click here.
I hope you enjoy this card and are enjoying my blog. I sure do enjoy all the stamping I have been getting to do lately!
Have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend. Now..... GO GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!

Like Mother like Son!
I thought I would share what happened in my house today! My 9 year old son asked me if he could make a card. For years my kids have known that my stamping stuff is HANDS OFF! They have
been very good about it even as babies, they never touched my stuff. So when he asked me today if he could make a card, my first instinct was to say NO, you can't play with MY TOYS! But I didn't say no.. I actually said yes and surprised him and me! lol 
So, he asked me about some things and I helped him with a couple of things like using my cutter and such but for the most part, he did the whole card. At one point you can see in the pictures that he was actually sponging around the edges... Thata boy!!! So, here is the card and several pictures of him making it. For his first card, I think its pretty darn good! Please leave a comment for him, his name is Matthew and he will get a huge kick out of reading what you all think about his work! 
Thanks for looking and now.... GO GET YOUR FINGERS INKY!

another quilt card
Good morning everyone... well its almost noon but anyway! Sorry I didn't post yesterday. I did stamp however and you will see what I did today and tomorrow.
The first card I stamped is another quilt. This one had a bit more stamping in it than the last one but I really do like these little cards! I showed my cyber group the card and some one asked me if I had used the 1 1/4" square punch.... duh, noooo I cut them all out by hand with the trimmer. From now on though, I will be using that little gem of a punch! I don't know why I didn't think about it but it sure does make sense! So anyway, here is the card I made. It uses the Designer series paper - Manchester (112464).
