90 Cards in 90 Days

So I am a part of an email list serve where a lady was advertising a new program to her fellow customers and friends. She challenged them to make 90 12x12 scrapbook pages in 90 days. She offered themes for each week to give them starting points and they would earn points for each theme as well as check in point that they participated in. I thought this was a really neat idea! Though, I don't think I could accomplish 90 pages I thought it was a great goal to go for. I decided to challenge myself to 90 cards in 90 days. So, hoping that my internet cooperates I will try to post 90 cards within the next 90 days. Think I can do it?

Two Cards One Style

Steven crashed at 7:45 tonight so I had some time to play in my new stamp room. These cards took about five minutes to make. Trying out some of the new buttons and flower brads today. I used Funky Four and Heard from the Heart. The colors are Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight, and Old Olive.

Saleabration Card

My husband's birthday is tomorrow and he complained for the past two years that I always buy him a card instead of making him a special one. This year in honor of him turning 36 I decided to make him a "wise old owl" card. This owl is from a new Saleabration stamp set that will be available beginning January 25. It is free with a purchase of $50 or with a workshop of $300. It coordinates perfectly with the owl punch from the Idea Book and Catalog. I used Pumpkin Pie, Night of Navy, and Bashful Blue. The 1-3/8 circle punch and Messages for Mom stamp set. He doesn't get it until tomorrow, so don't tell him!

Stampin' Spot Up and Running

Finally my Stamp Room is finished for now. It was so much fun to organize, purge, and find a place for everything. I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think? We had a fun time at the free Openhouse on Thursday. Will be having another one on January 17 from 10-3. Bring a sack lunch and join us for a free day of stamping.

I love this new paper sorter one of my husband's friends made me. It is amazing and holds the paper so nicely. If you are interested let me know. He will make it to your desires!

This is the view of the walk in closet.

Almost a Haven!

It has been a lot of work but my Stamp Room is starting to look like a haven. I got most of the shelves up thanks to the help of my amazing husband and started loading them. For my birthday, Marty and Steven gave me DirectTV and moved a big tv into my room, so now I can listen to my favorite shows while I work. Now to just finish cleaning, get my paper sorter built, and put up my magnetic boards and I will be set. Come check out my room on Dec. 30 from 10-3 for my free openhouse.

I needed a break today from working and decided to make a couple cards to share with you. This card uses the stamp set Friends 24/7 which I love but do not own. It comes with My Digital Studio so I just slide some whisper white cardstock into my printer and voila, my images! I used the scallop trim border punch as well as the scallop oval and oval punches. Vintage Wallpaper is the embossing folder used on the background of the card. So simple, but I think it looks very elegant.

For this card I used Charming and Great Friend stamp sets. The colors are Pacific Point, Bashful Blue, and Whisper White. This card took about ten minutes to make. I used the 1-1/4 and 1-3/8 Circle Punches, the small and medium size oval punches, and the scallop corner and edge punches.

Starring You

Here is a quick card I made today while Steven was taking a nap. I bought this stamp set a few years ago actually and I think this is the first time I ever used it. I used Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Pacific Point, and Whisper White cardstock, 1-3/8 Circle Punch, 1-3/4 Scallop Circle Punch, and 1/4 Circle Punch. The ribbon, Real Red Grograin Polka Dot, is on the clearance rack right now for 1.99 a roll. They have a lot of great deals in the clearance rack currently.
