peas...

i have had this digi stamp for probably two years.  and this year, i told myself i really needed to use it because it is so adorable!  i was so excited after i made it so i had to show someone.  my mistake was showing it to kerry.  he just doesn't get craftiness!  he looked at it and said "cute".  i said "do you get it?"  and he said "get what?"  i just shook my head and walked away.  then this weekend i showed my stamping peeps and they all appreciated it!! 

i should also mention that i hate glitter.  sherri showed me this cool tinsel glitter from martha stewart.  i thought i had finally found a type of glitter (stickles don't count here...) that i could use and not hate.  well...this weekend at palooza, i made 10 of these cards.  ask anyone there.  i had a glitter melt down.  only reconfirmed the fact that i really do truly hate using glitter.  i think the hotel had glitter everywhere by the time the day was done!!

fly a kite...

it hasn't been good kite flying weather here (it snowed yesterday!) so i have to live vicariously through my stamping. this set of atcs is for chris's tree themed swap. i love these trees from whimsie doodles. they are part of a digital stamp set. and i love this little owl (big shocker, i know) from stampin up. the kite's cute too!

little house...

so there was a discussion over at the shack about embellies we don't use that often. buttons came up as one of those things. i have tons of them. like ribbon, i buy them often and rarely use them. but they are so cute! so i issued a challenge of sorts. i'm hosting two different swaps (because that many people wanted to play!) where we have to make an atc and use buttons. here's how my first one turned out. i also used digistamps and regular stamps again. i love them both!
