Off Their Rockers Swap

this was fun...another "seniors" image card swap...and since it was "Off Their Rockers"...i went with a crazy stella digi...i used a different sentiment...one of my favorite sayings...i even have it on a t-shirt...

thanks for all the encouragement on my new do...everyone here has gotten used to it...though the day after my nephew Q was surprised it hadn't grown back over night...which is funny since his dad has been bald since before Q was born...i guess it's because he (my bro) shaves what little bit grows during the week (week o'clock shadow?)...

well here's my stella...

Sassy/Silly Seniors Swap

I have been having fun with the stamps out there depicting the "older/Wiser" generation...and let's face it us baby boomers are still "spunky"...as well as sassy...so i had fun with this swap...
of course i had to use a Bugaboo Stella digi stamp & sentiment...this makes me think of my mother...i filled the desk in with "pine" before printing...then made my own dp with the same pattern...

Stella Hard Drive
Paper: "pine" dp..more mustard..whisper white
Ink: printer..SU markers..copic markers
Stamps: Stella Harddrive
Accessories: black brads..buttons

and i have had this stamp for awhile...but never inked it up...figured it was time though...the sentiment is a quote by Ellen Degeneres...and sums up my exercise philosophy perfectly!...

Exercise Ethel
Paper: textured pink passion..summer sun..whisper white..tie dye dp
Ink: memento black..SU & copic markers..printer
Stamp: Ethel w/leotard

so let me know what you think of these sweet & sassy gals...and as always...be safe/be well...

What Color Is Your Hair? Swap

i know it's been awhile...i have done some cards for swaps...just not posted...better late than never right?

i had fun with this swap... i chose gray hair and red hair...love the bugaboo digi stamps i used for these...especially Stella...she hits my funny bone...the first card sums up my summer days...not that my glass always has a "cocktail" in it but i sit outside sipping and sunning...

5 O'Clock Stella
Paper: Basic Black..Brushed Silver..Whisper White..DP
Ink: Printer..Markers
Stamp: Stella 5 o'clock
Accessories: Flower punch..gems..black embossing powder

5 O'Clock Stella Inside

the other card features JJ and is exactly how i feel about vacuuming...best thing about having my kids was letting them do that chore for me...i'd rather scrub a floor than vacuum...go figure...

i have some recipe cards to get posted in a day or two and then need to work on another swap...and make a few Christmas cards...i also did some tags for a "CHRIST"mas swap that i need to get pics of to post...until then...be safe /be well...

Stella

i was doing some mock ups for a caffeine crazy swap i'm in @ SCS...and decided the "Stella ~ touch my coffee" digi stamp from Bugaboo would be perfect...and i'd get to practice my coloring skills...or lack there of...lol...and i worked on these cards on "World Card Making Day"...so i feel i really accomplished something!...

Stella ~ Touch my Coffee
Paper: summer sun..lavender lace
Ink: printer..SU markers
Stamps: Stella~touch my coffee..coffee cafe
Accessories: paper flower..ribbon..CB EF D'vine swirls

i ended up doing 2 different color schemes...this is the one i decided not to use for the swap...so i'll post those in a few days...on this one i decided not to use the sentiment that came with this digi...instead i used one that reads "I don't do mornings..until I've had my coffee"...which my oldest dd says is "sooo you!"..i think i might just have to send it to my bff since i miss my morning coffee with her...be safe/be well all
