I redid my fence post painting because I was not happy with how the barbed wire came out in the first one. I also did one of a Lily.

Awash With Flowers

Here is another card my Mommo made using the Awash with Flowers stamp set. So cute!

Finally Some Stamping!

As some of you know (or if you look at my past posts) I have been doing a lot of painting lately, instead of stamping. This card my Mommo did, and I just loved it and had to post it!
I will get back to stamping soon, but in the meantime I will pots some of my moms great cards that she does with her classes!
The clouds are done with the cupcake punch and the pants are with the vest from the owl punch.

This beautiful weather we are having makes me thing of summer and vacations... I'm ready for it!

And Another Painting...

Here is my watercolor painting from yesterday. I love how my barn came out, but not so much the rest of it. Oh well, what is it they say? Practice makes perfect right... Or hopefully, at least better!

Watercolor Painting

Sooo.... I have been missing for a bit. Everything is ok, just thought I would give you an update. Our Downhill for Diabetes ski event went amazing. We raised over $14,000!!! Thank you to all of you that helped by buying the diabetes tutorials or came out for the event!
I was really busy for the few months before the event and the weeks after, so I decided to take an adult ed. watercolor painting class to have some "me time". I used to paint, but have not since I had my kids, so I am having lots of fun getting back into it.
Don't give up on me for stamping, I will post some new projects soon! But in the mean time, here is the painting that I did this morning! (The colors look a lot better in person. I will have to figure out a better way to photograph them!)

February GMS Meeting Cards

So... if you haven't noticed, I am a little behind in posting! We had our Downhill for Diabetes ski and snowboard event and it was a huge success! We have raised $12,500 so far with donations still coming in!!
I am still wrapping up all the details from the event, so I thought I would finally post the make-n-takes that we did at our February Green Mountain Stampers team meeting. It was a great meeing with great swaps too(as always!), I will try to get those swaps up before the next meeting!

Downhill for Diabetes Event SUNDAY!

Sorry for my lack of posting this month...

Our Downhill for Diabetes Ski and Snowboard event is this Sunday! I have been working like crazy getting everything ready for it and its going to be great!

The Second Annual
Downhill for Diabetes Charity ski and snowboard event
will be on
Sunday February 26th, 2012
at Pico Mountain Resort in Killington, Vermont.
Participants will raise money to ski or snowboard, similar to a donation walk, just Vermont style! You can donate the money yourself, have a business sponsor you, or collect donations from family, friends and co-workers.
http://www.donationsfordiabetes.org/
If you don't ski or snowboard you can still register and donate on the site to win great prizes and merchandise!

The purpose of this event is to raise money to continue funding research and ultimately come up with a cure for diabetes! For those of you who don't know, my six year old daughter, Ashley, is a Type 1 Diabetic. We need to find a cure for this disease so Ashley, and others like her, don't have to live with this every day of their lives.
One hundred percent of the proceeds from this event will be donated to diabetes research.
I am hoping that you will be able to help us with this effort!
You must be registered before the event to receive ticket discounts and prizes.

You can see more details or donate on our diabetes website:

Punch Art Dress Swap

Since I had so much fun making these dress cards, I decided to make them for my swap for my Green Mountain Stampers meeting today.

Punch Art Wedding Dress

I had so much fun making my other punch art dress card, I just had to switch it up a little and make a wedding dress!
I used the Established Elegance stamp set to stamp the dress form in Soft Suede ink. I used the Heart to Heart Punch, Blossom Petals Punch and Lace Ribbon Border Punch to make the dress.

How to make this card:
First cut a strip of Whisper White card stock and put it through the Lace Ribbon Border Punch. Use the large petal on the Blossom Petals Punch and punch out one in the lace and another of regular white card stock. Do the same with the medium heart. Then just use the Two-way Glue Pen to stick them on top of each other. For the background I just cut strips with the Lace Ribbon Border Punch and glued them to the front of my card in rows.


I used the Labels Collection Framelits from the Occasions Mini for the center shape and some Pearls to accent my dress.

I love these little dresses with this stamp set! SO cute!

Punch Art Dress Form

I saw a card from Annette John with a dress like this on it, and just had to make one. It is so cute and fits perfectly on the dress form stamp!

I used the Established Elegance stamp set to stamp the dress form in Soft Suede ink. The dress is made out of the Heart to Heart Punch and the Scallop Circle Punch. I used the Sale-a-Bration Everyday Enchantment DSP and ribbon for the dress and the Textured Impressions Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder with the Big Shot for the background. I used the Labels Collection Framelits from the Occasions Mini for the center shape.
