Common Ground Blog Candy!

I have found a new blog called Common Ground and I am so in love with the vintage style she has. Debra is Celebrating her Birthday and 200 posts with some Blog Candy! If you click on the picture, it will take you to her post. Have a great day!

TJ's & Paper Temptress! Oh happy me!

Are you surprised? I am posting 2 times in one day! Well I had to share this with you!

I bet you have all heard of Technique Junkies (or TJ's for short), right? Have you heard of the Paper Temptress ? Well TJ's has a weekly giveaway and it is different ever week! This week I won this stunning card created by Pat Phuntoon (TJ's Owner) and a $25.00 gift certificate from the Paper Temptress!

This card is so beautiful and shimmery. It arrived today & the picture does not do it justice. Pat calls it the Rainbow Collage technique. I am not sure how it is done though. Pat cut and pieced the images on the right lower corner. The stamps used on this card are from "I Brake for Stamps" I just love this set and hope to someday have it in my collection.

I have already done my shopping at The Paper Temptress and now just waiting for my goodies to arrive! I will say that Patricia, the owner is so very sweet and helpful!

I you want to learn more about TJ's and Paper Temptress, Just click on their names above and it will take you to the links.

Thanks Pat from Technique Junkies and Patricia from the Paper Temptress! You are both great ladies!

I would rattle on and tell you more, but my stomach has bee really upset for the last few hours, so I am going to go lay down!

Thanks for stopping by and have a nice evening, Hugs Lori

Big Sweet Stuff from Jacque!

I wanted to share this fabulous blog candy with you from Jacque. Wouldn't it be great to win it. If you click on the picture, it will take you to her blog for more information. I will also add it to my side bar! Good Luck! Hugs Lori

Rubbah has arrived and a card share!

I am so excited! My stamps from FCD already arrived. Pamela sure is fast! It does help that we are in the same state. LOL! Just look at that deep red rubber and this stamp set is to die for! Can you tell that I just love it! I have already started cutting for mounting! I use the halo system (Hook & Loop!) and have already added my loop tape. Just have to cut them out and start playing.

Thanks again Pamela...YOU ROCK!!!

Oh and I also figured out how to get my pictures here where I want them, which will make this so much easier. See how they are smaller and side by side.

Now on to the card....A Valentine...of course! I wanted to keep this one...LOL! But it went off to a special lady today....can't say who or she will know before it arrives! Hubby thought the black, red & lavender colors were as he put it "kinda dark", but this time I ignored his valued opinion. Most of the time he is really my best critic and then there are times where he really doesn't understand what we, as stampers, can appreciate! What do you think of it?

I have one of those Photo boxes that you buy at the craft stores that I have loaded with Love, Hearts, Romance and anything Valentines (except stamps), so I pulled some stuff out of the box to put this one together. I do believe all of the die cuts are Sizzix that I used at a friends gathering to punch them out and the oval scallop is a Marvy Giga punch. The corner punch (which I just love) is from All Night Media! It is an oldie, but a goodie! The lavender glittery paper is from Robin's Nest. Can you see the bling on the top heart? This was actually my way of covering up that I didn't get the stamp centered on the heart...LOL! Shhh....don't tell anyone my secret! You won't even know if your not reading all of this post...teehee!

Well, I think I covered everything and I have broken my record by posting a whole 3 days in a row! Actually, I think I have posted more this month than any other month since I started blogging! I still have more coming too! Especially once I start to play with Pamela's stamps!

Thank you for stopping by and may the good Lord bless you with your hearts desires. Hugs Lori

Card share & Happy Birthday Nicole!!

Hi Everyone,

I know it has been forever since I last posted, so I thought I would share these Happy Hopper (Stampabilities) cards that I made for a House Mouse Swap I am having on my group! I know they are not a Mouse, but since Fall is around the bend, I thought this would be a great image to use. The images are colored with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Gamsol (Oderless mineral spirits). The Frame is cut using my Sizzix Scalloped Frame die and the paper is very shimmery. It is hard for me to tell you who's cardstocks I have used, as I have had them for a long time. I have recently discovered that I just love this shimmery c/s. You can stamp directly on it too and the look is stunning!

This is the same image done in Red and the frame was run through my Cuttlebug in the Swiss Dots folder.

Hope you like them and I will try to post more often. Now check out Nicoles Birthday Blog Candy!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!!!!!!! Monday was Nicole's birthday (Owner of Inky Impressions), and in honor of her birthday, she is offering up some serious Blog candy.Click here to head to Nicole's blog to enter her blog candy!
