Dino Daze....FMS395

The new dinosaur set from Stampin' Up! is such fun!  It makes a delightful - and unexpected - baby card!  Emma loves this set and was working alongside of me on her own dinosaur card.  She has mastered using the mini Misti in spite of the "scary magnets" as she says!  She picked out her own stamps, paper and inks for her card.  And she is a pro at using my new electric die cutting machine.  I won't let her near the paper cutter though!

I snapped a quick picture of her card before she left even though it was already in a cello bag for transport.  But I promised her I would blog it so here it is!

                                             

I think my CAS style is rubbing off on her!

Jen Mitchell loves square sketches - me too!  So I am always delighted when she designs a square sketch!  Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

This is me.....Every Single Night.........and it all started long ago with Dick, Jane,Spot and the Bobbsey Twins.....then Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden and The Boxcar Children showed up.  Ramona Quimby and her friends made me laugh and Laura Ingalls Wilder's adventures on the prairie were captivating.  And that was just the beginning.....reading never gets old.  Just last week I was Where the Crawdads Sing and this week I am part of The Alice Network.....can't wait to see where I go next week!

I did a total Fusion using both the photo and the sketch! I only turned the Turnabout Triangle stamp twice to get the wall pattern.  Hope you join us!

You're Clawsome....FMS394

Miss Emma's teachers this year have definitely been "clawsome!" So I was glad to contribute to their thank you gifts by stamping some adorable tags using the new set called Check You Out!

First these sweet striped bowls from thirty-one....

Then some candy......

Gather the tags.....

Wrap bowls in cellophane and attach tags.....

And make some more.....

I love Jen Timko's sweet sketch this week at Freshly Made Sketches!  I turned the horizontal panel into a sand bar and it looks like all the critters are having a good time!
