Stampin' Chez Moi

Well girls, it's been fun being a part of the Stamping 411 team for the month of July ~ thank you once again for the honor! Now onto this fabulous sketch....you really need to join in the fun! What a fun card sketch to create with ~ I've enjoyed my time so much playing along with this ~ do join in the fun! Here is my card ~ I really don't enjoy creating sympathy cards when they are needed. I find it too difficult, so I always like to have some on hand ~ now I actually don't have any except for this new one that I created to go along with this sketch. I really need to create a few more ~ I guess that just doesn't sound so great ~ I need to take a photography class ~ sorry about the shots! BAD!!!!! How do you ever preamble a sympathy card and leave a post with a *smile* ~ so I'd like to leave you with a few of my favorite shots that I've take lately ~ I hope you enjoy them ~ thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you have a super day ~ and enjoy y...

I was so excited when I found a Monochromatic Challenge at Mixed Up Monday Challenge . I wanted to create a big thank you card for my sister and I don't care for OVER sized cards....so I got to creating a 'card book'. My sister was extremely busy heading up the planning for our huge family reunion and deserved a big thanks from everyone. So when you have 10 aunts & uncles, their spouses and then their children (3-4 per family)....a card just wouldn't suffice! Here is a picture and a few inside pages of my creation! I hope she likes it! There are a few more pages, but I wasn't sure if I should post them all ~ I hope you enjoyed this little booklet, can't wait to gift my sister with this and everyone's notes scribbled across the pages ~ thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful day and a fabulous long weekend for all the Canadians out there ~ ENJOY!!! If you live in Winnipeg or the vicinity and would like to host a party ...

Our garden of vegetables and flowers are singing a symphony of song!!! I was captured by the beauty of my flower garden as I strolled the yard this morning ~ it literally stopped me in my tracks ~ then I heard Dean say 'what are you thinking about honey?' ~ oh, nothing, just gazing at our flowers!!! We both stood there for awhile and just admired the handy work of the Lord! Oh how I wish my picture would do justice to this ~ in real life ~ it is absolutely stunning!! and now on to the sketch challenge from the gals at Stamping 411 ~ and I had so much fun incorporating  a flower into my card. I love creating flowers!!! and a bit of smooch and there you go!  oh what a fun card to create ~ and I did it again ~ I can't remember where I actually saw the tutorial for this flower (take  note  Denise, literally!) ~ I used three different Stampin' Up Flower Punches and it worked out fabulously ~  I sure hope you have time to play along with us this we...
