There She Goes " Mother Of All Blog Hops - 2012"

Welcome to the 3rd annual Mother of All BlogHops sponsored by There She Goes Clears Stamps!   Over the next two days, we (customers and trendsetters!) will be featuring some of our favorite There
She Goes Clear Stamp sets!  Not only that, we’re going to give YOU a chance to win some fabulous prizes!  To find out how, please go to the There She Goes’ blog and read the simple instructions.

Here's my first card made with There She Goes "Wonderful Winter Wishes" stamp set!  It is a Finger Card.  I totally adore this adorable set and didn't mind making "winter" cards during spring.  heehee


I love layering so, naturally, there's plenty here.  I used Copic Markers to color my stamped images.
Adhesive black pearls are added to the little girls' hats and a button and bakers twine helped my raised mittens look just right.  I added a bit of glitter in the "snow" around feet.



The inside has "finger" flaps that stand out when opened.  They are stamped and attached for a great looking inside.


Card 2 using the
"Wonderful Winter Wishes" uses lots of different masking, including Liquid Masking Fluid for the "snow" effect.  Again, I used Copic Markers for coloring my images and inked daubers for background!!



I punched out snowflakes and added a gem for sparkle!




I masked the phrase first, then stamped the huggers and masked them too.  Then entire card had a square mask to keep the outter edges white.  I then splattered Masking Fluid over the entire card and sponged background.  Removed all masks and wiped off liquid masking for a nice snowy effect.


 Thanks sooo much for visiting and good luck!  Enjoy ALL the blogs, such a group of talent out there!!

Here's another great card from Sue Chaney!!  I love her style and creativity.  This is awesome!!


And, speaking of Sue...I've been dog sitting her baby, Bear all this week and totally LOVE him!!  If I EVER get a dog again it will have to be just like Bear.  He is the sweetest and best behaved dog I've ever been around...hmmm...maybe Sue will forget him???  HA!  Doubt it.  She gave me THREE pages of "Doggie Dos and Don't".  lol  He's been a honey...




Yes, he even shares his bed with Whisper...what a good dog. :-)

A Couple of Days of Fun with Gerri!

Well, once again, Gerri and I had a couple of days of stamping fun!!  Of course, I think stamping is ALWAYS fun!!  Gerri came over on Monday and left today around 4pm.  Even the weekend was great because I got to spend that with Sara Woodard, surprising her for her birthday!  Love that lady!  So...I had double fun.  Sharing a couple of days with Sara, my stamping guru and a couple of days with my bud, Gerri.  We made some cards for challenges and some for fun...and naturally we made a card or two for challenges that had already closed...oopsie!!  lol  Regardless, it was so nice!  We stayed up until 3am Monday night sooooo Pammie is pooped tonight! lol  But before I poop right out here are our cards!

These are mine....








This was the card I did for Sara.


And hereeee are Gerri's!!
