My Lots of Layers for sure card

I love popping my layers, so here is a close up from a side view... you can see that I raised the flower layers and then the main image and then the Scallop flower... WOW... did you count the layers?... I count 12!!
I usedAll Stampin'Up! products on this card :
Stamp: Bloomin with love
Card Stock: Groovy Guava, Certainly Celery, So Saffron and Whisper White, Textured Groovy Guava on scallop flower.
Ink: Groovy Guava, Certainly Celery, So Saffron and basic black
Other: Designer series papers in Groovy Guava, So Saffron and Certainly Celery, Certainly Celery Grosgrain ribbon, dazzling diamonds, 2wayglue, aqua painter, Stampin Write Markers, Paper piercing tool, Punches used: Scallop, 1 3/8", 1 1/4", 3/4" and 1/2" round, Gold brads and Celery brads

Whew... that was a lot!!! It is much brighter in person and you can change the saying to make it a birthday card, or whatever. Thanks for looking.

I made this card for a swap I currently have on SCS under the demonstrator side of the site. It is truly a challenge since I have so many requirements on it... 8 layers, textured, designer and regular cardstock, 3 embellishments, ribbon and 2 punches must be used... so... it may seem like a lot, but once you get going... it's really not!!! And the rewards are awesome!!! I'm not disapointed yet!! I have great swappers in my groups and have enjoyed all their creations very much.... hope you enjoy my card... I'm actually making 10. Got all my stuff cut out and ready to stick together.... WOO HOO.

May Flowers.... for sure!!

Wow... May 3rd already...time is just flying with everything going on right now in my life.... but I wanted to post the Swaps from my April Lots of layers swaps... they are just as gorgeous as the March ones, and of course... I have a May one coming up too!!!

Things are winding up quickly here for SU... we have Convention enrollment next week!!! YAY!!! Can't wait to go this year, and then there are all the May Promotions and the new previews for the new catalog... can't keep up... just too much excitement... Well, I wanted to post so here they are.... enjoy!!

April Showers ... of swaps that is!!!

Wow, I can barely believe it's April already... time flies when you are having fun.... I guess.... anyway; in the last couple of months I decided to host a swap on Splitcoast for multiple layers cards.... WOW... incredible response and creations.... I am displaying them here for your viewing pleasure. All Art is copywright of Stampin'Up!

SU Oakland Regionals!!!! Too much fun

I have to admit I was very excited to attend an all day Stamping event and where better than my own Bay Area!!! Yay!! Finally... SU came to California.... I came with my Friend Kim below busy cutting away...she introduced me to stamping 7 years ago... I went to her party and the demo at that party is now my lovely Upline Martha... Hi Martha!!! Well, after all these years, Kim has taken the plunge and decided to join the SU team under me... YAY!!! I think I'm more excited for her than she is...LOL.







This is Catherine and she is my youngest Downline and has LOTS of ENERGY...did I mention LOT OF ENERGY...LOL . She is a mom of 2 beautiful children, goes to school full time and spends lots of time at church events and volunteering at her kids school.... did I tell you she has LOTS OF ENERGY!!!! OK, I'm done with that, but she is truly talented at stamping and especially at making beautiful Scrap Pages. Here she is busy cutting out her stamp sets getting ready for those make and takes. We had a lot of fun.







Ok, so here I am as you can see also busy cutting out those stamp sets... thank goodness we are going Die Cut!!! THREE CHEERS for SU !!!

When Catherine took this pic... my camera froze and I was bummed cause I didn't get anymore pics, but I did manage to take the display boards... Enjoy... we had a blast... Can't wait 'til Convention.

Too cute...close ups of the last board here....

Been very busy...

Been neglecting the blog due to activities with my kids.... Christening, baseball, school... etc....

So this is a card I did for a Demo swap on SCS for camsmom (Britta)... hope you like it.

I wanted to use this set soooo bad, it's the Tart and Tangy set from SU and the new Designer series papers (summer picnic)...love all of them and already bought practically the whole mini catalog...LOL... I love all the sets from this catalog. I'm using it so much... more than any other before. Anyway... hope you like it.
