Groovy Guava Lives

I still love this Groovy Guava cardstock! I think the color is fab so I decided to make my Secret Stamper a neat little card box and 4 gift cards to go inside it. Envelopes included, of course! The colors that I used are Groovy Guava, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White and Soft Sky with sentiments from Trendy Trees, Sweet Little Sentiments, All Holidays and Pocket Silhouettes.

Extreme Skater

Here is my first card with the Extreme Elements set. I love it and just now got it. I was (most of the sets I like do me this way) intimidated by the set thinking I would surely screw it up if I tried it and wouldn't be happy with any of the patterns I made with it but, alas! I got the set, mounted it and this is the first attempt! I absolutely love it! You can't really tell in the photo even when it's enlarged, that the skater is black embossed. Looks much better in person.

Tis the Season

I had a friend order some Christmas cards so I made several different ones. It is nice to able to put together a lot of simple cards and some look so elegant. Just goes to show that you don't have to overdo things to make them beautiful.

Happy card -

Groovy

I got a little carried away with this card once I got inspired. It's for my sister's birthday this Thursday and I hope she likes it. Main background c/s is textured Kiwi Kiss. Other c/s is Perfect Plum, Yoyo Yellow, Pink Passion, Green Galore. The same color in inks were used. The stamp set is Groovy and many embellishments from many places. Also used beads on the lower peace sign. I think it turned out pretty groovy after all the time I spent on it!

Secret Stamper

Hi everybody. I have a Secret Stamper and look what I received this month! One of the little scary purses (CUTE!!!) m&m's are mysteriously missing. =] Be sure to click on the picture so you can see every yummy detail. I love my last quarter SS already and will have the honor of these type gifts until the end of December. Who's jealous?
