Fluffles finds a friend

This cute little stamp is with the Fluffles group by Stampendous. It reminds me of my little baby kitty.

Things Are Getting Spooky Around Here!

A few cards I have been making. The first idea came from Split Coast Stampers challenge.

This one I came up on my own!

This one is from several blogs put together.

Watch out friends and family, one of these cards may make it to your house this fall.

ATC Swap

I joined an ATC Swap on Split Coast Stampers. We were to create 10 cards to swap. The lady that was hosting this swap was doing it to give the cards to her mother for her birthday. She said her mother loved the cards and can't stop looking at them.

Various Cards

I usually photograph the cards I have been making but, thanks to Ike, it is raining pretty hard outside. I also like to take the pictures outside for better lighting. Tonight I used the scanner.

On the WRAK group with Split Coast Stampers, we exchange stamped images. This little turtle is by Whipper Snapper Designs called "Take The Cake".


This little guy is also a WRAK image from Whipper Snapper Designs called "Birthday Monster". The card design is SCS sketch challenge 193.

I actually own this next stamp! I bought it at Archivers in Colorado Springs. Archivers is a scrapbook store that is in several different cities - just not where I live! It is a Stampendous stamp called "Changito Bday".

Also at Split Coast Stampers on the RAK group, there was a Labor Day Challenge. The challenge is to make cards and donate them to our Armed Forces so our troops can send cards back to their families and loved ones at home. This is one of the cards I will be donating. They are trying to have 3,000 cards donated. I will be sending 3!

They did this challenge on the 4th of July weekend and received 2,000 cards.

Thanks for looking!

Cards, cards and more cards

Last weekend on Split Coast Stampers, they had a Labor Day Challenge. The challenge was for people to make cards and then send them to an assigned person, who will send them to our troops overseas. They are sent blank and then the troops can pick the card they want to send back to family members. I am a very slow card maker and so far I have 2 to send. The first 2 shown, I will be sending for the challenge.


I had originally made this card for the Split Coast Stampers Labor Day Challenge, but my husband chose it for his sister's birthday. I guess he liked it!!!

I celebrated my birthday recently and here are all the cards I received. I received 12 from family and friends and 18 from the BRAK (Birthday Random Acts of Kindness) group that I have joined on Split Coast Stampers. It was fun to receive so many different cards from all over the U.S., even from Canada!

Here is the bracelet my honey and kids gave me for by birthday! Thank you honey.....

RAK cards I have received

I have joined a RAK group (Random Acts of Kindness) on Split Coast Stampers and we send handmade cards and stamped images to each other.

After joining, I received cards for members from the "Welcoming Committee". Here are a few I received.

The card below was from my "mentor". She helps me learn about the RAK group.



It is fun to receive other things in the mail besides -----bills-----

A second card from Split Coast Stampers Challenge

I enjoyed how easy this card was to assemble! This time I made a Halloween Card. And of course, it had to be a kitty!

SCS Challenge

I made this card for the Split Coast Stampers Challenge today.

Kind of a Get Well Card - without the words "Get Well"

J's cousin fell and broke her leg in 5 places! Since I have been making cards for birthdays, I decided I needed to make her a get well card.

Recipe card & ATC Swap

I joined a few online swaps and these are the items I made.

The recipe swap was for a chicken dish. I used one of our family favorites, Chicken-Broccoli Casserole.

This was an ATC swap (Artist Trading Card). It was called Happy Haunting. The lady that was the hostess will be giving her mother all the cards we made for her birthday. I used an older stamp from Stampin Up and the ribbon was a RAK (Random Act of Kindness) from Terese. Thanks Terese.

The backdrop was a cross stitch I did several years ago and mounted on a box that I made (not designed, though)

This swap was a calendar swap. Each person was to make 12 ATC's for one month. I chose October. I love the colors that are used for the Halloween time of year. The spider was from the same Stampin Up stamp set. Lisa helped me with the bling. Thanks Lisa.
