Lots of stamping!

It has been a terrific 2 weeks of stamping.  

These are from April Prachniak's stamp club.  If you like April's cards and you live in the Baltimore, MD area, contact her for classes or upcoming clubs at http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/mystampplace/about

I had to order the ornament punch just because of this crab. How adorable?!?!?!

Now Lynn and I got this window die (from www.poppystamps.com). I may have already posted this, but I can't help it, it's so darn cute!!!!

And we made this card too;

Then while I was at the ocean, I took some shoeboxes to make.  All of these are cased cards.  If I find the original inspiration websites, I will post them. I am not taking credit for them.  

This one I changed up a little bit.  But it's pretty much the same. LOVE IT!

I did this with chalks, and have to say, I honestly didn't like it. It really needs the markers to make it pop.

This one I did use markers and think it looks so much better.

I did this one in two different browns.  What do you think?

This one is Close To My Heart.  I absolutely love tis set, called Perfect Day.  My friend Mary Hamre is a CTMH demonstrator. If you like their products and would like to place an order, contact her at http://maryhamre.ctmh.com/

And when we got back from the ocean, I went to Lynn's house and made 8 of these.  I never have enough get well cards. (Or Sympathy cards).

I love this set.  I loved it back when I was a demo and used it and still love it now.  

Thank you so much for visiting !

Linda's Cards made at IWIA Stampers

I have such a great time on Monday nights at the Dundalk Moose Lodge.  They allow us stampers, scrappers and all around crafters to come and have fun, have a safe place to play, good food and great drink.

I saw this card;

I absolutely LOVE black and white cards.  I mean, if all I could do was black and white cards, I would do it.  But, I have to branch out a bit and decided to use some colors I typically don't use.  Here is my re-creation or in the stamping world, CASE'd it (Copy and steal everything... hahahaha).  I prefer black and white... but here I used bashful blue and baja breeze;.  Birthday saying is from Close to my Heart.

And then... aaahhhh.... My friend Lynn Haase let me borrow her stamp saying. I've had the acrylic jars cut out and I did the little bugs with my Cricut, ohhhh... about a year ago!!!  Yes..... I've had these cut out and hadn't done anything with them.

Well... today on this gloomy, rainy day, I got to get in my stamp room and get movin' .  I decided if I got anything done, I had to get this card done to get Lynn her stamp back.

The embossing powder I found in my embossing drawer. (I don't go in that drawer very often). But the powder is called Fireflies. (go figure!). It's black with a hint of gold glitter in it. WOOHOO!!  I thought this was perfect.

April's January Stamp Club

I can't just say how much fun I have at stamp club. If you don't belong to a stamp club, please contact your demo and ask her if she has one that you can join. They are not only fun, you get to hang with your girlfriends, laugh, eat, drink and be VERY merry.

And if you live in the Baltimore, MD area, then contact April;
