Happy Father's Day!

Hello! I love the weekends! This one is a great one as we celebrate our dads. Here's the card I made for my Daddy. He really loves the cards I make and he was especially fond of one I made him for Father's Day a few years ago. He kept it on the fireplace mantle forever. That made me so happy. I wanted to make him this special card using Fishing Riley. He is an amazing fisherman and took my family on many camping & fishing trips. I really loved those trips and fishing with him. He was pretty patient, as I was a chatty little girl. You don't want to scare away the fish. Ok and my long hair did get caught in the reel once. LOL!I LOVE you Daddy! Don't forget that today is the last day for submissions for the Hanna Stamps Guest DT Call. Go here for all the details. Hope you have a fabulous day and thanks for visiting! :) Rach

Riley catchin' some waves!

Hola! I am back with another summer post! This card is for my submission for the Hanna Stamps Guest DT Call. I love Riley! I had to use Surfer Riley to get me out of this June Gloom Can you believe it is still gloomy here is So Cal? Will it ever end? Rileys are so fun and I knew he could brighten up any day! I used some new Bo Bunny papers, so Riley could catch some serious waves. I paper pieced his trunks with striped Bo Bunny paper. I added Glossy Accents to his surf board, so it would look freshly waxed. I also added Stardust Stickles to make the waves "sparkle". If you are interested in becoming a Guest Designer for Hanna Stamps, be sure to go here for all the deets. Wishing you sunshine! Thanks for visting!

Swap Frenzy!

Ok, I don't know what I have gotten myself into! One day I decide to jump into everything all at once. I started the blog, started posting on SCS and doing swaps. Now, I really do love stamping but often find myself hoarding stuff more than using it. My biggest weakness is patterned paper, but that's another story. Ok, so I went a little overboard on the swap commitments but I love them. It's so exciting to get that envelope in the mail. It's such a nice surprise after a long day at work. So here are some pics from my latest swaps. Enjoy! I will post the recipes a little later, just wanted to get the pics up like I promised.
