Just Dandy

Rubber Soul & 'Just Dandee'

Good Monday morning! It's a drizzly, dreary day here today....perfect for staying in and creating (& getting some cleaning done...ugh). I started on the wedding invites this weekend but didn't get very far due to my printer running out of ink. Looks like a trip to the super store is in order for today. I have the templates and wording all saved, just need to get them printed, stamped and addressed then I can check that off my 'to do' list.

I had some time Saturday morning and put it to good use by getting my Etsy shop up and running. It still needs a bit of tweaking but for the most part it looks pretty good (I think anyways). You can click on my Etsy banner below if you'd like to check it out. Unfortunately, 'Just Dandy' was already being used as a shop name so I had to come up with something different so I just changed the 'y' to 'ee'. I know...not the most creative but it works!

 

I was on a stamping frenzy yesterday afternoon and whipped up 6 cards. I used a couple of Rubber Soul sets for the 3 that I'm going to show you all today. The patterned paper is also from Rubber Soul. This particular flower one you see on all the cards is from the Garden Variety collection.

 

 

PTI's Pure Poppy & New Leaf worked perfectly with this particular patterned paper. PERFECT!! The quote is from the Womens Collection quote set. The little flower I found at Michaels in the dollar bin. A 6 pack for a $1. Love those kind of finds!

 

This next card features flowers and greeting from the Mens Collection set. I colored two of the flowers in using my Copics and then for the larger flower I stamped onto the patterned paper and trimmed it out. Gave it a 'pop' with 3D adhesive.

 

For this last card I again used a quote from the Mens Collection. On the patterned paper I added a few extra flowers using Dark Chocolate ink. The flowers are from the set Flower Shop.

That's all for today as far as cards but on a personal note....I just wanted to thank you all for your well wishes for my little guy. Your thoughts and prayers for him mean the world to me!! This afternoon is the blood work & MRI so hopefully we'll know something soon after!

Have a wonderful day!!

Wishing You & more

I thought I'd pop in this morning and show you all another card or two using my 'Wishing You' set! I've been having way too much fun creating with this set and hope that those of you who purchased it will as well. Did you happen to see Lauren's blog post from last night? She participated in PTI's blog hop  and created a card using 'Wishing You' but you won't find any tulips on her card...nope. But you will find MUSHROOMS!! I tell you...that girl is just amazing! Talent just oozes out of her. Brilliant Lauren!!!

Onto the cards...

   

I pulled out my Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder for this first card. Spring Moss, Ocean Tides & Aqua Mist were my colors of choice. It had been ages since I had put my Everday Blessings patterned paper to use and it matched beautifully with both Ocean Tides & Aqua Mist. The dotted line along the bottom is the line of dots that are in the set. I just continuosly stamped them all the way across.

 

I used Angel Wings Shimmerz over my tulip to give it a little sparkle and shine! This product is perfect for adding just that little bit of shine to your project...not messy at all and dries in seconds!! Love it!

 

I used my Everyday Blessings patterned paper again for this next card. I cut 4 strips of paper...2 of the Spring Moss pattern and 2 of Aqua Mist and then sewed them together and placed them over my card base. 

   

I used my Classic Square Nestabilities for the platform of my images and then gave them a little pop with 3 dimensional adhesive. Added a loop of ribbon and large pearl brad and it was complete!

Lots of things going on in this household right now.....

• FINALLY things are moving along with the house. Everyone is lined up and ready to get to work as soon as the frost in the ground cooperates. Pictures will be coming...SOON!!!
• B has been having lots of problems with his foot and left leg over the last 6+ months. It hurts to walk on it at times and his foot has been swollen for all of those months....somedays worse than others. He's been to the doctor 3 times....had x-rays, blood work....everything looked ok.  They finally sent him to a rheumatologist this past Monday and right away he thinks he could have Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. While in with the doctor he did notice one of his fingers being swollen and warm to the touch along with his foot still being swollen and also warm to the touch. He also asked about how he slept through the night. B just turned 7 but for as long as I can remember he has NEVER been a sound sleeper. He moans a lot and sometimes cries in his sleep and now it makes me wonder if he's in pain and that's why he can't sleep soundly. The next step is an MRI (nervous about that one) and more blood work! Praying it is not this but right now I'd just like to have an answer so we can try to help him and ease his discomfort!
• Lots of stamping related things I'm working on getting accomplished. I have wedding invitations to finish for my cousin who is getting married in August, my etsy shop is just about ready to go...constantly working on cards to upload there, submissions...trying to be better about this & working on Papertrey stamps sets for 2009.....lots to keep me busy!!
• Lots of reflecting going on for me during this time of every year and THIS is the reason! I'm always so grateful and feel so blessed that God decided to keep R here with us!!

Hug your loved ones EXTRA tight today & enjoy each and every moment you have with them!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful day!!!

A thank you & challenge

Good Monday evening to you all! I hope everyones week has started off to be a wonderful one. It was a bit chilly here today (high of 28) but the sun was shining bright so it warmed things up a bit. The snow is *just* about gone with only a few banks here and there...mostly along the sides of the roads and where the sun doesn't quite hit. Spring is here and I am SO ready!!

I wanted to say a huge thank you for the comments left regarding my last post! You all are the best!! Your caring words & cyber hugs meant so much to me. I honestly didn't know I had so many other diabetics that were reading my blog and truly was touched by each of your stories. I'm still going through all the e-mails I received and am responding....if you haven't heard from me yet, you will! ;-) It is so nice being able to 'talk' to someone about this disease that has it. I am the one and only diabetic in my family...no other type 1 or type 2...just me so having you all reach out was absolutely wonderful. We should start our own little 'cyber diabetes club'. LOL!

Now onto todays ...or tonights card! I'm a little behind today. Have you all seen this...... 

the uber talented, color combo extrodinaire, Dawn McVey, has started her own little color challenge. I'm so happy she chose to do this and will for sure be accepting this challenge!!

 

and here is my take! This is a little 'out of the norm' for me. I usually do well working with 2-3 colors but FIVE...usually not so much. My daughter even said....

Kace: Mom, did you make that?

Me: I did.

Kace: Hmmm

Me: What?

Kace: Well, I don't know...it just doesn't seem like something you'd make. It has more colors than you normally use and it's sooo fancy!

Boy, that girl is so perceptive!!

I did enjoy spreading my wings a little and will definitely do it again!

So green wasn't a part of the color combo but just had to add the leaves! The flower and leaves are both by Prima. 

I hope you all have a wonderful evening! I'm going to curl up and watch '24' with my hubby!

Night all!

A change

 

This is what I was dealing with Wednesday evening! NOT fun and a bit (ok A LOT scary)!! At about 8 o'clock on Wednesday evening I was watching tv and noticed that my eyes weren't focusing very well. A little blurry and just not right. I also noticed that the right side of my face was tingly and numb...OK SOMETHING is seriously not right! I got up and checked my blood sugar and that was what my meter read....so low that it wouldn't even read my level. A normal person's blood sugar should be anywhere between 70 and 140 and mine certainly wasn't anywhere near there. I quickly began to eat....EVERYTHING! Rodney and Mom were out with me at this point and just kept giving me something to raise my level up. I had 3 glasses of oj, 2 glasses of milk, peanut butter, peanut butter cups (my guilty indulgence when I am having a low), a bowl of cereal and a few other little things that I can't quite remember. Oh My Goodness...I was SOO FULL!! I had eaten so much and even the thought of eating another bite made me well....you know....wanna hurl!! During this whole 'eating binge' I continuosly checked and rechecked my sugar and it was not going up. At one point it was 34 and then about 10 minutes later it dropped back down to 27. At that point Rodney didn't give me a choice...get in the car, we're going to the ER. We live pretty far out right now so calling an ambulance would have taken a lot longer than him driving me. After a quick ride (he drives quite fast when he needs to) we were there and I was being taken care. An IV and some blood work and 2.5 hours later I was heading back home!

I was exhausted! We got home about midnight and then I woke up throughout the night so I could check my blood sugar just to make sure it was were it was suppose to be. Yesterday I was completely wiped. I took a shower but that's about all I could bring myself to do. Today is much better!

I've had diabetes for almost 30 years now and believe it or not I have only had to be hospitalized for a bad low I think 3 times in those 30 years. I consider myself pretty darn lucky! My Mom took such wonderful care of me while I was growing up. Making sure I ate exactly what I was suppose to, checking my blood sugars often and just always doing what was right for me. Now that I've been on my own I've tried my hardest to continue on doing what I was taught. I think, for the most part, I've done really well. Although, there is ALWAYS room for improvement and I'm definitely going to strive for that now. I have two small children who were so scared Wednesday night. They had never seen me that bad and I felt awful that they did have to see me like that. I guess as Rodney was getting me in the car to leave that night Brody was crying really hard and my Mom told me that Kacey was right there hugging him and telling him 'Mommy is going to be alright. They are going to take care of her.' Oh my Goodness...I was so proud to hear she had done that! They were both asleep when I got back home but I went in and woke them both up to tell them that I was ok and I loved them!!

Still can't quite figure out how my sugar dropped so low and I didn't feel it much sooner than I did. Now comes 'the room for improvement' part where I will monitor myself even closer than I was and check my sugar a lot more frequently so I can prevent another episode like this one! I'm also going next month to see about an insulin pump...so excited about that!! Also exercising and eating even better than I did before. Lots of changes, good changes, that will keep me here a lot longer!!

Thanks for listening to me this morning! I don't often share much about me, the personal stuff anyway, but this is such a HUGE part of who I am that I thought I should!!

Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Sunshine & flowers

Good morning everyone! I hope your week has started off to be a great one. The sun is shining here and the temps are getting warmer so no complaints on my end!! I have a couple of Rubber Soul cards for you this morning and then I'm off to do my errands.

       

I inked up the Men's Collection quote set for this particular card. I also used Background Basics: Retro for the strip of patterned background.

 

The flower was stamped in Lemon Tart and then I used the Making Memories Page Pebbles for the centers. 

   

A little embellishing of the envelope!

 

This next card is from one of my most favorite Rubber Soul sets....It's Your Day! I used my EK Success circle punch and punched out a few swirlies and gave them a little pop with 3 dimensional adhesive.

 

This color combo was a little out of the ordinary for me. I am usually reaching for brighter colors but it was a nice change of pace.

Don't forget that Rubber Soul is still having an amazing sale this month....

• All sets that were previously $14.00 are now $11.95

Thanks for stopping by today!! I'm working on more projects using 'Wishing You' and also working on the ribbon tutorial (if any of you are still interested). I'll have those up as soon as I'm finished!

Have a wonderful day!

Wishing You {Day 5}

Well here we are at day 5 of the peeks and you all know what that means.....release PARTY! I want to thank each and every one of your for visiting during the countdown. For your comments, e-mails and just super sweet words about 'Wishing You'. It means the world to me....I hope you all know that!!

A few tidbits about the set....

• it will be available for purchase at the Papertrey Ink website starting at 12AM on March 15th
• price is $24
• there are 32 images total in the set

I have just a few more cards for you today. I hope I can give you all just a touch of inspiration to get your creative juices flowing when it comes to creating with this set. I have had such a fun time stamping with it and have just touched the surface of all the possibilities this set has to offer. I'm sure you will be seeing many more cards posted on my blog using this set over the next few weeks.

 

First off I have a very simple card....not much fluff involved with this one. Colors are True Black, Berry Sorbet & white. I used my oval Nestabilities again for my 'Cameo'. As I was creating with this particular stamp today something occured to me. This stamp (& the other 'cameo' stamp in the set) would be perfect for creating a piece of jewelry. Of course I think of that on the FINAL day of peeks but I am definitely going to try it. 

 

How neat would it be to make a necklace or bracelet like Nichole did HERE? All you need is polyshrink and beads and you could create whatever colors you'd like. And with Mothers Day coming up this would make such a nice gift for a special lady in your life.

 

Another 'cameo' card using Berry Sorbet, Ocean Tides and white. For the scalloped border around the edges I pulled out my Fiskars scalloped scissors.

 

For my last card today I used my New Leaf ink, cardstock and ribbon for the first time. Really love this green and can see myself using it a lot. I'm sure you all have noticed that green & pink are my all time FAVORITE colors to work with!! I hope you aren't sick of them yet!

 

Well there you have it! The peeks are over and tonight you will be able to view the FULL set! Don't forget that the release party is at 10PM tonight right HERE!! I'm having dinner with some friends that I haven't seen since high school so I may be a little late but I will be there! I hope to see you all there as well!

Wishing you all a wonderful Saturday!!

((Hugs))

Wishing You {Day 4}

Welcome back...we're almost there! Only one more day after today and you will be able to view the full set....Wishing You!  I'm so happy to see you back and hope you like todays peeks. Still so much to share....

 For our first card today I wanted to do something a bit different. That's where Background Basics: Retro came into play. I love how this background image can not only be used simply by itself but also allows you to use a variety of different images from various PTI sets to stamp inside each box. If you own Background Basics: Retro...give this a try. I stamped the dotted line image to create a 'grid' of sorts using Ripe Avacado ink. I then took two of the smallest tulips in the set and stamped them using Pure Poppy & Sprin Rain ink.

**The Spring Rain ink is a little light in the photo and hard to see...I apologize for that** My 'WISH' image was stamped inside my oval Nestability....a perfect fit.  

 

Here is another cheery card to brighten your day! This one just showcases the different sized tulips that you will get in the set. Also, you will notice the dotted image along the bottom...this is also part of the set. It measures about 1 inch long and I just continuously stamped it across the bottom on either side of my greeting.

 

I chose Ocean Tides, Summer Sunrise, Raspberry Fizz & Ripe Avacado for my color palette. And again, I used a little 3 dimensional adhesive behind my flowers. Can't live without those!!

 

Here is out last card for the day using one of my most FAVORITE Papertrey colors...Raspberry Fizz. Lee Anne, you asked yesterday if the polka dotted tulip was included in the set....YES, it most definitely is. And if you notice the little dragon-fly above is also polka dotted and is also included in the set. Cute, huh!! I love coordinating pieces that allow you to pull the whole look together!

 

I hope you have all enjoyed todays cards. Is there any particular image in this set that you are drawn to? That you are most excited to use? I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

Nichole & Lisa have more amazing things to share on their blogs...be sure to stop in!

One more day til the big reveal and one more day of peeks! I hope to see you all back tomorrow....I've got more to share!

Wishing You {Day 3}

Well hello again! Here we are for another little peek of 'Wishing You', my newest release that will be available through the Papertrey Ink website starting March 15th. I have had such positive feedback from you all about this set and I have to say...I'm so thrilled! I'm so happy you have enjoyed what you've seen so far. I can't wait until you are able to see the ENTIRE set in full. There are lots of little bits & pieces to the set that I haven't shown you yet.

Here we go....

 

So for this first card I chose to use the cluster of stems to create a row of these beauties! I just continued to stamp across my cardstock using True Black ink. I then randomly stamped my tulips using Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise and Sweet Blush ink. I stamped a few of the flowers onto a separate sheet of cardstock, trimmed them out and gave them a little 'pop' with a bit of 3 dimensional tape.

 

I added a little stickles to the dimensional tulips to finish them off! So in love with the bright, cheery colors!!

 

For this next card I wanted to be sure and show you that this set not only works for bright, cheery cards but also for more elegant cards. I just received some new Melon Berry cardstock and ink and wanted to dive into them. I just love this color and it lent itself perfectly when creating this wedding card.

 

So simple to create yet so soft and elegant! With a touch of lace and a big pearl it was complete!

I had one more for you today but after uploading the picture I decided to hold off. It's a hard one to get a good photo of so I'm going to work on that and hopefully share it with you all tomorrow!

Until then...wishing you all a wonderful day!!

Wishing You {Day 2}

Welcome back for day 2 of the 'Wishing You' peeks! I want to say a huge THANK YOU to you all for your sweet comments and words of encouragement. I am always so excited whenever I have a new set coming out but also a little nervous. I hope that I have designed something that not only I love but also all of you, my fellow friends & stampers! I appreciate you all who take the time to leave comments or e-mail to let me know what you think!

   

For todays card I wanted to showcase a stamp that coordinates with the oval Nestabilities. I've heard from a lot of you and read Nichole's blog and a lot are referring to this image as a cameo. You know, I never thought of that but it does indeed, look like a cameo. Isn't that perfect for one of the most important days of the year coming up....Mothers Day.

 

Ripe Avacado, Lemon Tart & Plum Pudding were my go to colors for this particular card. I used the dotted background image from Background Basics: Retro for the bottom portion of my card. There is not just one but TWO 'cameo' images included in this set. You can see the other showcased on Nichole's blog HERE. Were her projects not AMAZING!! Oh my Goodness....my jaw always drops when I see her work!

I only have one card to show you today but I will be back tomorrow with not one, not two but THREE more peeks to show you all!!

Nichole, Lisa and Heather all have something to share with you....be sure to stop by!!

Wishing you all a wonderful day!

Introducing 'Wishing You' {Day 1}

Well hello everyone and welcome to the first day of sneak peeks for my latest set....Wishing You. I am so, so very excited (I know I say this each and every time I have a new set coming out but I REALLY am SO exicited) to share my projects with you all and hope you find the new images as fun and cheerful as do!! I have to warn you...they SCREAM SPRING and if you all are like me ....I am definitely ready for that warmer, sunnier, blue sky weather to arrive!

   

Before I begin I just want to say that the images you are going to see in these two cards are images I printed off my computer. There was a bit of a mix up and I haven't yet received my stamp set (should arrive today :-) so I improvised a little so I would have a little something new to share with you all. This first card is a combo of Summer Sunrise, Dark Chocolate, Pure Poppy & Ripe Avacado (I changed the color of the tulips in Illustrator so it would reflect two of Papertrey Ink's exclusive colors). After printing them out I simply trimmed them and gave them a little lift with 3D adhesive. 'Wishing You Happiness' is part of the set.....you'll be seeing a lot of 'Wishing you....' over the next 5 days, hense the name of the stamp set!

 

A little close up of the first finished card. Now remember, just because I have printed them off on cardstock doesn't mean that they aren't going to look like this for you when you stamp the actual image. The tulips, stems & sentiments images you will receive with the set will all look the same when you stamp them. This particular sentiment (along with some others included in the set) fit perfectly inside the SU! oval punch and Nestability oval dies & tag dies.

 

This next card is a combination of Ripe Avacado, Sweet Blush & Berry Sorbet. I again printed my image off my computer (remember you will get the same result with the actual stamp). This color combo is probably one of my most favorites right now! You can't go wrong with pink & green...they just mesh so well together and put a huge smile on my face.

 

Another close up of the finished card! I create a little tag for my sentiment this time and attached it to my bow with a button. With a few pearls for a more feminine, girly appeal..it was complete!

I want to thank you all for taking the time to visit! I hope you enjoyed todays peeks and look forward to seeing you back here tomorrow! I have TONS more to share with you!!

And don't forget to stop by and say hello to these super talented ladies....Nichole & Lisa!
