Wings of Friendship..

This card started off as a friendship card, but then I thought of wedding. So many choices....I just left off the sentiment until I need it. If you know me, you know that I really have to be able to have things that can be used in a number of different ways. Just like this card. I used Whisper White, Bashfull Blue cardstock along with some scrap of Imaginsce...I think. I also used my Scallop Circle Nesty and Scallop Rectangle Spellbinder dies.

**Wings of Friendship is a Level 2 Hostess set. Not available for purchase. This set can be yours with an online order of $300 or more. Even easier host a workshop and this could be yours without having to pay for it!**

Call me to book your workshop. It is a ton of fun!!!

Here comes a circus!!!

I know I keep saying it....I love this set...too!!! This is Circle Circus available in the 2009-2010 Stampin' Up! catalog. All of the circles are perfect companions with the circle punches that SU! has. This card using Basic Grey and Walk in the Park can be used for so many occasions. The possibilites are really endless here. You can do what I did and use them in the centers of flowers. You can mix them all up as a background paper...tons of different uses. This set, along with the Lots of Bots should be on the top of your list....until I find more to put on there. LOL!!!

Edited to add pic of stamp set:

If I had any patience at all, I would stretch these posts out....naaaaah!!!

Big Hugs,

Lots of Bots!

One of the many new Stampin' Up! sets this year is Lots of Bots. This set has come in so handy already. It's perfect for all of the birthdays that my boys like to wait until the last minute to tell me about. It also works out really well for the men at the office. I think it is the quickest stamp set I own. This card literally took me about 5 minutes to make with some simple matting. The image is not terribly tiny, and so easy to color in with pencils, chalk or markers. I hesitated getting this set, and now I am so glad that I did. Go to my website and get yours TODAY!!!


The patterned paper is DCWV from the "All About Boys" stack. I colored the image with Copic Markers. The plain cardstock is old olive, basic black, real red and the base of the card is texured only orange.

I am off to make a ton of these just to have on hand.

Happy Stamping!!

Carrie

WHAT A DAY!!!

Well, I thought since we are all just sitting around waiting for SU! to update their sites and systems I would do a weight loss update. Today is the mark of SU!'s New Year and I am kinda taking that literally in my life too. It's no secret that I have been busting my rear in the gym since January. This week is the 60 Day mark of my workout with my coworkers. Here is the update with pictures.

Here is the current "Before" taken at the beginning of June.

Here is the "After" taken today.

I must say....I am pretty pleased. Here is the low down...

Last Month This Month

Chest 41.5 40.5
Hips 47.5 47

Here is the three of us all together...
