It is a beautiful Monday. Not a cloud in the sky and it is warm. Just as I thought that it couldn't get any better, my postie rang the bell with new goodies from Verve. Oh joy!

So, instead of gardening, or playing, or reading on the deck - here I was, making a new card with my brand new stamps. You do understand though, don't you?

Look:

Supplies Used:
Paper: Bashful Blue (SU!), Precious Metal by We R Memory Keepers, Sonoma Rosalie Street by Scenic Route, Whisper White (SU!), Natural White (SU!)
Ink: Not Quite Navy (SU!), Basic Black (SU!)
Stamps: Up, Up And Away (Verve)
Other:dimensionals (SU!), paper snips (SU!), Dusty Durango marker (SU!), Crushed Curry marker (SU!), sponges (SU!), Signo white gel pen (SU!), paper piercer (SU!), clear crystal stickers by Mark Richards

I hope you like it. Off I go to play in the sun now. Blog y'a later.

Wow! I just discovered a fantastic blog candy. Steph from "Where'd All My Money Go?!" is giving away $150 to be spend for what you like. :-) ALl you need to do is to post about her candy and provide her with a link to that post. Easy, peasy, eh?!?! So, go now...

Gastown Motorcycle Show & Shine was a highlight of the last weekend. Well, at least for my husband. Three of us went along and looked at all the bikes with him. My older son, 6 year old, learned how to spot a shovelhead among the other Harleys. What an accomplishment, eh? :-) My younger son was more interested in the motorcycles, and really wanted to sit on this one that was all done up with skulls and bones and chains. Here is a photo, it doesn't show the bike completely, but I think you can leave things to your imagination when you see Charlie posing with the owner of the bike.




I have made quite a few cards lately, for some reason I was too lazy to take pictures, touch them up in Photoshop, upload... I am having a lazy summer. But, honestly, I am still making things. Here is a card I made for a local realtor for a thank you card for his clients. I quite like it.

Supplies Used:
Paper: Craft (SU!), Basic Black (SU!)
Ink: selection of SU! inks for colouring, Basic Black (SU!) for stamping
Stamps: Trendy Trees (SU!), Neighbourhood wheel (SU!)
Other: dpaper snips (SU!), blender pens (SU!)

The following card was made just because a paper I had reminded me of a coffee on a morning I was staying away from my morning dose due to some blood test I had to do later in a day. Was I ever ready for a shot intravenously later on. :-)

Supplies Used:
Paper: Whisper White (SU!), Really Rust (SU!), Crush Collection Coral by Crate Paper, Natural White (SU!)
Ink: Chocolate Chip (SU!), Close to Cocoa (SU!), Real Red (SU!)
Stamps: Pun Fun (SU!)
Other: ddimensionals (SU!), paper snips (SU!), blender pens (SU!), Chocolate Chip marker (SU!), sponges (SU!)

I am teaching Watercolouring class on Saturday, celebrating Charlie's birthday on Sunday (I can't believe my baby turned 4 yesterday), so I might not blog before next week. But then, you never know.

Blog y'a all later!
