Pink Pirouette Pockets

Here is another version of the cards I made that are made using SU pink pirouette and all SU supplies. These are my second favorite of them all (the white ones are the first). The pictures and previous posts explain it all, including supplies, but let me know if you have any questions.

Baja Silhouettes Set and Candy For A Cause

I liked the pocket silhouettes cards that I made yesterday so much that I decided to make several more sets of it using different colours and ribbons. I will share them all with you over the next couple of days. These cards are made using the new SU In Colour Baja Breeze and are cards made using only SU supplies. I like the way these turned out, but they seem a little dark to me. Since I ended up making so many of these cards, I have decided to use some of the cards from the next few posts to give to caregivers of Alzheimer's patients. I am doing this as part of Carolyn King's blog candy for a great cause. Carolyn has raised over $1000 in blog candy and has done a lot to help out with Alzheimer's through her recently released stamp set. If you want a chance to win this huge blog candy, check out her blog post here.

Supplies:

Stamps: SU pocket silhouettes
Ink: SU basic black
Paper: SU basic black, baja breeze
Ribbon: SU baja breeze

Pocket Silhouettes Set

I loved this card that I made a couple of months ago so I decided to CASE it myself using the Pocket Silhouettes set. This set will be on sale 15% off until the end of September! Here are close-ups of each of the cards to show the details a little more.


On all of the cards, the paper piercing was done using my sewing machine - goes faster that way!

Supplies:

Stamp: SU Pocket Silhouettes
Ink: SU Basic Black
Paper: SU Basic black, whisper white
Ribbon: American Crafts black & white essentials ribbon

I'm Back with WSC58!

Well after finding a wedding dress, having surgery and returning to the hospital from some complications, I am back! I realized when I returned to Lethbridge that one bad thing about being a nurse in a small town is that when you get admitted, everyone knows about it, especially when you get admitted to the same unit you work on! It was a little uncomfortable, but everyone was great! I don't make a very good patient though. Thank you everyone who kept me in their thoughts.

I'm not sure how much I'll feel like crafting over the next while still, but I did manage to get one card in yesterday for Beate's WSC58. This card doubled for my card for VVPP06 to use Kraft cardstock (although I'm not sure if it even counts since I did not use my Verve stamps). I'm quite happy with the way this card turned out.

I had never used Kraft cardstock before, but I love the way that it looks so I think I'll be using it much more!

Stamps: SU Eastern Blooms, Short & Sweet
Paper: SU Kraft, certainly celery, ww, Kraft dp (hostess set)
Ink: SU certainly celery
Brads: Bazzill white

No Posts for a While

Well, I guess I lied. In my previous post I thought I'd be able to post some new things this week but that will not happen. I went to Calgary for a doctor appointment and am now having surgery this Friday! So quick! Nothing major, but stamping will have be on hold at least until I return to Lethbridge. On the plus side, I found (and ordered) my wedding dress!

I Am Alive!!

I've had a few questions wondering where/how I am, and to let you all know I am fine. I've just been very busy with my friends wedding last weekend in Calgary, working evenings shifts at the hospital, and trying to figure out stuff for my own wedding!

So, there probably won't be anything new for a few days, but I wanted to let you all know something that I think is so great. Gina K. Designs just realeased a new set of stamps and if you are in need/want of some fall stamps, check out this set they are selling designed by Carolyn King, whose blog is linked to the right. Carolyn made this set as a tribute to her grandmother who recently passed and had suffered from Alzheimer's for 12 years. In addition, 100% of the proceeds from the selling of this set go to the Alzheimer Association (Pennsylvania chapter)! You can read more about it here on her blog.

Hopefully, I'll have some time for stamping late next week!
