Stampin Up, Quick and Simple Sat for Oct 4th.



Good  morning. Before we talk about my card today I have some news. Some of you have seen my posts about my problems with walking and even sitting.
Well, I have known for a few weeks now what the problem is. I have a very bad hip, it's bone on bone, and I am scheduled for surgery in a few days.

I am very fortunate to have a fantastic Dr here in our area who does a very high tech hip replacement using a special table and laser so that the cut is from the front and little to no muscle has to be cut.

While I happen to hate surgery and will avoid it at pretty much all costs, I have gotten to the point that I can't do much of anything.  So, I just want it over.  So, if you don't see much for a while, know I am recouping and not able to post. Hopefully it will not last very long, I do love making my cards and stuff and showing them off.

So, this may not look like quick and simple, but it really is. One stamp set along with a Designer series paper from the Holiday stack. I like these as they are cut to card size, quick and easy to use.

I colored in the image, however, it's darling just stamped in black. It looks like a sketch. But I love using my Blendabilities, they are so much fun, so I couldn't help myself.   If you do use them, be sure to use the Memento black, not the Stazon black as that can run with the Blendies.

I hope you enjoy.

Stampin Up, early release Christmas stamp set


Stampin Up is releasing this stamp set now, so If you'd like to get a head start on your christmas stamping this one's for you.
It's such a gorgeous set and I had a lot of fun with it.  I love when I show my hubby my latest card and get a wow. It doesn't happen often.

I used Marina Mist for the card base, then sponged Marina Mist, Pool Party and Daffodil Delight onto a piece of Whisper White.
Tip, after taping your sponge on the ink pad, bare down very softly at first or you'll end up with too much ink, then put a bit more pressure on it.

I stamped using black ink, and almost left it at that, I liked it.  But decided to color in at least some of it.  I'm glad I did, I love how it turned out, I used markers on it.
