Never too early...

for HALLOWEEN!!! Here is a quick & simple card-always my favorite kind. I'm in love with the Martha Stewart Onyx glitter---much more sparkle than other black glitters I've used--& the candelabra stamp-it is DANG cute. :) Yippee Halloween!

After all, I live here.

Another Seattle card. :) I've got some Halloween ones coming (my fave!!!), but I thought I'd post this one today. This scene could be a typical Seattle day, rain & all. I love the "road" from the Fancy Borders clear set-it's perfect & quick! I think I should have added some glitter to the rain drops to make them pop-plus, rain is ALWAYS better if it's sparkly! :)

Have a great weekend--rain or sun!

Flying Fish!

If anyone has ever been to the Pike Place Market in Seattle, you have no doubt seen the fish throwers....there is always a HUGE crowd gathered around watching the craziness happen. It's pretty funny to watch, & the best part is when the guys have to continually ask the crowd...."Does anyone actually want to BUY any fish?" :) I always wonder if they throw more than they sell.

This card is my ode to the fish throwers....& I love the new market stamp! So perfect for us in Seattle, but really for anyone who has a fun outdoor market in their area. For sure go snap up the new Seattle images over at the A Muse website (which is new & beautiful if you haven't checked it out!)

Watch out for those crazy salmon.... :)

Oldie but Goodie

In keeping with the theme of today's post over on the A Muse blog, I thought I would post a card using the party flag stamp. Seriously, this stamp is really versatile---not only for parties or invites, but also great with blank flags that you can fill in yourself...as I've done here. :)

There's that darn baby carriage again....this time all sparkly & pink for a sweet little girl!

Honestly.....17 days????

How have I been addicted to the TV for 17days??? Those darn Olympics sucked me in.....even sports I find dull, (ummm, really with the 4 hour coverage of the marathons?) I still watched. And watched some more. :)

Here's an old card I found which works pretty well for that endless marathon. ;) Really, I'm just jealous that my butt can't run more than 2 minutes without wanting to cry. :)

Did anyone else get suckered in?

Back to School!

Over on the A Muse blog today there are a few "back to school" cards with a plaid/argyle theme....including this one! I wish you could see their dresses better-as they are also argyle-which reminded me of the 8 years of blue school uniforms I wore.

Also, today is the beginning of sneak peeks for the new HALLOWEEN release! There are many cute cute cards around on the design team & instructors blogs---look around to be inspired!

Happy Friday!

Changin' it up!

As I'm sure many of you know, this little girl doesn't always have a baby buggy with her...but I thought the two together would make a cute baby card! I really like how this card turned out-the A Muse baby buggy is one of my faves---& darn it if it's been a long time since I've used the beautiful stitched ribbon, oh how I love it so. :)

Just a reminder-this sweet girl can be found exclusively on the A Muse blog-item #F0077-Girl & Frog. While you're there...add some ribbon or some new stamps from A Muse or Saltbox to your order---I'm sure you deserve it! :)
