Swirly Birds on this Gray Day

Hello & Happy Wednesday!

How bout that...I slept straight thru Election Day here in the US! Haha!

No, actually I got so busy with my day that I never got around to updating my blog!

Last evening I was glued to the tv watching the election stuff and sat up till after 1 am waiting to see who our next president was and at that time some states were still too close to call.

Today we have a new President!

 Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing but I really hope for some change within our country and people start working together to solve problems.

We can only hope this president will work for the people but only time will tell.

Enough on that subject.

Today I have a sweet card to share quick then I have a major mess in my stamp room to clean up!

Cardstock, glitter and scraps all over the floor and it just needs a good cleaning which I will start later after I get my covered notebooks bagged & priced for the craft show. It is all ready for delivery on Sunday and i'm thrilled about that!!

My card today is one my customer asked for and without a sentiment.

I really liked this card using the Swirly Birds stamp set but I really wish I could have put a sentiment on it! I guess there was too much blank space for me! LOL My customer loved it and the colors on it so I guess that is what counts, right?!

Just a quick card to share today!

My card is another Gate Fold. I know i've been on a roll with the different types of Gate Folds & Z Fold Cards recently. I guess I just needed a change!

I'm loving all the different things that can be made from the Swirly Bird set. Can you believe that I haven't broken out the Swirly Scribbles Thinlets, yet??!! I have been having fun with just using the stamp set so far!

The colors for this card are Sweet Sugarplum, Peekaboo Peach & Pear Pizzazz.

Swirly Bird Kites

Hello & Happy Tuesday!

What a day!

I spent most of the day in the kitchen baking up a batch of Lemon Glazed Zucchini Bread, regular Zucchini Bread and a pot of Cabbage & Corned Beef. The cabbage sure made the house stinky! It's a meal that I don't make too often but we love cabbage!

Once I made my way downstairs I finally found my Swirly Bird stamp set that I have had since the new catalog came out. I thought I lost it! Fell behind a bunch of other stamp sets.....that should tell you that I have way TOOOO many!

Here is my card for today!

Of course I had to use Dapper Denim once again....I love this color!

I stamped my kites with Dapper Denim and the solid part of the kites image is also Dapper Denim but I stamped off once on a piece of scratch paper so it would give the kite a 2 toned look. And look at the ribbons on the kite strings....I couldn't help but put some rhinestones on them!

My card is also a Gate Fold Card. Haven't made one of these in...well, forever!

I also used my new Thoughtful Banners stamp set & coordinating punch for the sentiment.

Love it!

Celebrate Card:

Stamps: Swirly Bird, Thoughtful Banners

Ink: Dapper Denim, Soft Sky

Cardstock: Dapper Denim, Soft Sky, Thick Whisper White, Dapper Denim In Color DSP

Accessories: Thoughtful Banners, Punch, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, 2 Sided Tape

My thought for today.......

That's all for today!

Headed out for a bike ride! WooHoo!

Thanks for stopping by & have a terrific day!
