FS64 on Splitcoaststampers

This was done for todays fs64.
The featured stamper challenge is when you get the ok to case a stamper choosen for that week. This week's featured stamper is Michelle AKA (Sf9erfan) on splitcoaststampers. I loved looking through Michelles gallery.
She has a great eye for designing. Here's what card of Michelles I picked. I don't own the touch of nature set so I just happen to get the Always set this week. I just cut the rubber as a matter of fact. I changed mostly everything only because I didn't have any of the exact items used. I took the bird from Michelles card and the layout. I did the piercing like she did and the cutting out of the bird. I needed a few mothers day cards too.

Here's my Recipe:

Stamps: Always, All Holidays.

Ink: So saffron, sage shadow, always artichoke,

Paper: Always artichoke, Ancestry designer paper, So saffron, Whisper white

Accessories: Thyme stitched ribbon, green stickles, dimensionals,

Technique: Cutting, omitting color,

ic125 on splitcoaststampers

This is for todays ic125 on splitcoaststampers. It worked perfectly. The animals on the ic got me today. I needed to do a congratulations communion card for my niece and when I saw today ic challenge It inspired me to use this animal stamp. I know there's no hippo's in the ic piece but seeing the ic piece I immeditily went looking for an animal stamp. I love the way it turned out. I went too off the colors of my sisters invite for my niece found here. I also did some scoring with this card to separate the dry embossing with the stamped image. Love that look. I drew a cross in the balloon but it smeared for the watercoloring I did. It's not real noticiable I hope. Thanks for stopping by Have a great Saturday. Terry

customer invites

This is a custom design I did for a Customer. I did 50- 50th birthday invitations. I had to dig out my stamp- a- ma- jig too to get the 50 to be in the same place on each card. I must confess I was a little rusty but it didn't take long to get the hang of it again. I used my editing program to block off the privite info on them. I delivered them and the customer seemed very pleased. Thanks for stopping by Terry

The Karma Garage write up

Here's a picture of where I just had my very first Tahi yoga message yesterday. It's at a place called, The Karma Garage. Be sure to check out her blog. Shes a very inspirational writer too. It'll be a very cool read. My good friend Val is a Omyoga certified, Tahi yoga massage trained, physical therapy licensed. I've never had a Tahi yoga message before and it was so Great. I felt very relaxed, which I needed to feel very badly. I really just wanted to fall asleep but I had to drive home first.

To take time for ourselves is very rare. I totally recommend doing it for yourself more. I just may have to. Thanks Val

Pink poodle invite grouping.

Here's the whole grouping of 5th birthday invites I did for a customer. I did 15 invites plus I Always like to give a thank you gift, so I gave them a complimentary decorated front notebook and pen. It's the one down on the right . What little girl doesn't like writing in her own personilized note book. I know my Daughter still does.

I think a lot comes from the presentation so I did a matching Cuttlebug template thank you front for the bag and prettied it up with some ribbon. I dropped these off today and the customer seemed very pleased.

You can see below for the recipe. Thanks for looking.
