Here is the Christmas card I mentioned I was going to share with you!! I made this at a SU! Workshop and boy was it fun to make... :) I'm giving credit to Mary who was the demonstrator and is similar to the sample in the SU! mini catalog. The new punch works perfectly with this stamp set and also the rub-ons.
I added the white trimmed boarder on the left side and organdy ribbon.
Well off to get more done. Today was very nice, and I was in the garage and yard cleaning. Even combed Cooper, our golden retriever, who is such a baby! Have to love those 4 legged friends... Have a super weekend my stamping friends!!
SMILES... Michelle :)
Hi! Happy Friday to you and I'm so happy the weekend is here... Woo, hoo! :) Fall is in the air and the leaves sure are changing colors. We have rain here tonight and just before dark I was looking out my kitchen window at the fall colors and the rain gives them such a bold look!I have two more Archiver's ScrapFest cards to share with you. The first card is by BasicGrey and the 2nd card is by American Crafts. I just LOVE the fun fall colors on the Autumn Memories card. The DP is very pretty!American Craft has such bright modern colors I enjoy. So styling and just so simple! That's perfect for the on the go stamper... like me lately!
Are you all watching Dancing with the Stars? I just love watching people professionally dance ... it will be an interesting season! Enjoy your evening! I have a SU! Christmas card to share... stay tune! SMILESMichelle :)
Hi Everyone!! Don't fall off your computer chair as I'm posting a few cards from attending Archiver's Scrap Fest 2009 this weekend... :) Being I live 2 1/2 hours from the Mall of America I finally had the opportunity to go this year with my stamping friends in the Twin Cities area. It was so nice to visit, catch-up, and do some stamping. Talk about LONG lines, there were 32 make and take stations and we accomplished 8! So you can tell how long we stood in line. This was a HUGE 3 day event (we only did Saturday) and very fun... plus you could get some good bargain's at the "Saving Spot", a mini store Archiver's had set up. 
I have a couple cards to share and as time allows I will post more. The first card was from the Cosmo Cricket booth. It's a 4X4 card and I like how we stamped the sentiment, cut between the letters and wrapped it around the back side of the circle. And roughing up the edges makes it even more fun!The second card is from Doodlebug Design... I LOVE there DP's and felt brads! Very simple card and the chunky glitter adds so much. I was so happy to get back home last night and my feet were happy too! Right Jackie and Carmell!?!?! (WINK) ;) I'm helping my hubby get ready for a hunting trip, taking care of the produce from the garden, and getting ready for a weekend of PEACE and QUIET! Stamping is on my list and I do have cards to show you! I miss everyone! I will be honest, I haven't done much blog surfing and sure miss being out in blog land. Have a super Sunday evening... SMILES! Michelle :)
Hi Everyone! Well, there has been some busy things going on in my life lately and I'm sorry to say blogging is going to be put on the side for awhile! I'm so sad about it, but I have to put life first for now. I'm going back to work full-time and started training today! In the future my hours will be reduced to part time, but as of when and how many hours this is unknown. This all came into play this past week and I had to make some decisions over the weekend on what I need to do to keep this schedule going. I will blog hop when I can to see all your "lovely" creations, and if I do get a chance to post I will. I understand if you choose to unsubscribe as this is why you come to visit to SEE A CARD! I understand 100% on why... I'm going to miss you lots, and you are all in my hearts! Thank you SO MUCH for all the sweet comments I have gotten over the months from everyone! That is what kept me going.... SMILES!

Happy Friday! This past week I was at a SU! workshop and we made this beautiful Christmas card. I like how we took the image and crumpled the card stock. Also if you notice the sentiment... we didn't ink the "MAS" to have the word "Christ"!! How cool is that! I added the swirl background and CB Mesh embossing. The second card was from Julie's card club a while back and realized I didn't share it! I added the MS snowflakes and silver pearls! I won't be posting till next week... traveling over the weekend here and and few other loose ends to take care of. ENJOY! Have a super weekend yourself... SMILES!Michelle :)Stamps: SU!

I can't resist SU! Razzleberry Lemonade design paper.... I love how the DSP coordinates and very versatile patterns! I decided to use some of my scraps, pulled out my Jumbo Stampin' Wheel, apron boarder punch... and the retro flowers! Pretty simple and quick... something I'm sure we all can use! It's getting late here and today we had Alex over as it was his 9th birthday today... he was really excited. We had DQ cake and guess what he requested to eat for supper... corn on the cob! So that's what we had and a few extras. :)
Thanks for popping in and may your day be happy and bright stampin' friends!

Well, I must confess... this card I have been working on since this morning with LOTS of interruptions! All intentions to post this morning and here I am now... better late than never I guess! :)
I had this layout in my head and this past week I received my Razzleberry Lemonade DSP and Melon Mambo paper and ink pad. So I had to play with my NEW toys... *wink*! The DSP does the work for you on this card and I just added the butterflies, sentiment and yellow gingham brad. I jazzed up the butterflies with rhinestones and wire.
The photo shows my yellow pretty bright. I used Summer Sun as I don't have all the in-colors. But it looks nice IRL!!
Now Lisa who is such a "sweet heart" from The Craft's Meow, mailed me this amazing RAK (Random Act of Kindness) along with "2 stamps" from her big "Grand Prize" winnings from The Greeting Farm and Club Anya !! I was on Cloud 9 when I opened the package and seen what was inside. Thanks SO much Lisa for sharing your winnings and I can't wait to make a card using these CUTE images!! She always takes good care of me!! :)
Hope you found time this weekend to enjoy the weather, family & friends and STAMP! I'm behind on my commenting so I haven't forgotten about you!! I'll be popping in soon... :)

Happy Friday!! Can you believe the weekend is here? This summer sure is going fast and it won't belong and school will be starting. As promised here are 2 more cards from Julie's Card Club. The first card is prefect for a kids birthday card... or that adult that is "a kid at heart!!" :) We used SU! punches and jumbo wheel. The second card is a Sunflower!! Tis' the time of year for them. For the sunflower center we used In-Color Soft Suede with embossed dots and sponged over to give more texture. Then we used the Scallop Oval Punch for the sentiment being scallops are a focal point on this card... PERFECT MATCH!! 
The heat it on here in Minnesota and a cool down by Sunday. I'll be happy then... ha! Enjoy the cards today and I'll get my butt in my craft room to stamp... LOL! Thanks for visiting and keep cool!!

I want to share a card from Julie's Card Club Monday night... I just LOVE it! I didn't assemble the card completely at class because I wanted to add the Divine Swirls to my background and sponge the edges of the letters! It really gives more contrast and the swirls give the feel of a fall day of colorful leaves and wind. Which I'm ready for!! :)
A pretty easy card which Julie always has cute, simple and stunning in mind! :) We have 90's here and high humidity for the next few days. Summer is starting now... LOL! Well, I better think up something for supper and see what Cooper is up to! Enjoy everyone and thanks for stopping in to say "HI"! I'm catching up on my blog comments... :) Plus I'll be posting a couple more cards that Julie had for us.

A couple Clean & Simple cards to share!! I seen the Ten Minute Monday post and just fell in love with this card... so I decided to give it a try with my DP's that are so unloved lately! Do you ever have that issue? I have a lot of single sheets that don't have coordinating paper, because I think I have to HAVE them! :)The first card is for fall that's around the corner. I followed the double button idea and embossed a row of dots with my CuttleBug. Then embossed my sentiment. My second card I used chipboard flowers, added a gold pearl next to my sentiment and LOVE the DP with the rich chocolate in the background. Very easy peassy cards!! :)Tonight I have Julie's Card Club and she just got back from convention! Can't wait to see her swaps... FUN!Enjoy and have a super Monday!
