Must stop...

...painting houses. Tiny little houses that is. I'm having too much fun with these. I sneak off to the craft room in 5 minute breaks when I can. And I have several little houses painted now. These are from PTI's Boards & Beams set. I even got a couple of color swatches for hose paint colors at Wal-mart today for more inspiration. Really must stop...no, really. I have so much other work I need to do first...

Flowered card

This is my take on Debbie's design, simplified, but I still like it!

My pretty find

Vintage buttons in a vintage Land O Lakes box at a local garage sale. $1 each for the 2 boxes, and the colors are spectacular! The picture shows half of them. I love finds like this!

Thank You Card

This one uses Kraft paper from Papertrey Ink, that I embossed with the Cuttlebug. I ran across the dots with Robins egg blue pigment ink. The flower center is SU, with ink and marker. I added a dew drop center. The sentiment is from PTI's Bee set, and the ribbon is vintage bias tape I picked up at a garge sale last weekend. Just wait until you see what else I got!

I'm going to try to do a card post at least once a day over the next week. We'll see how it goes. Here is the first, using my new stamps, ink, and paper from Papertrey Ink. This one is brighter and a bit out of my usual style, but I really like these stamps.
