A birthday card from my stash

Here's an oldie but a cutie!! Enjoy!!

ATC for Smudges!!

Here's my ATC for Wed. nite at Smudges. I've been making kits all day for the ATC group project I'm leading and for my upcoming Birthday classes this Friday and Saturday. I am dead tired right now so I can't get into all the details at this late hour on my ATC. I know I am suppose to be all about the details but trust me this little 2.5 x 3.5" ATC is very detailed. It took me forever to make 10. I started them on Valentine's Day actually at Archiver's. I hope you all have a great Wednesday. Goodnite. Tami...Main image is by Missy Ballance. I love her stamps!!

HO! HO! HO! says the elves!!

Here's a card I recently taught. Sorry I couldn't publish it until tonight. I am SO swamped this week which is a good thing. I will not be able to be too chatty tonight plus it took only about 12 tries to upload this card. Darn Blogger. On the inside of this card I used four Missy Ballance images from her clear Christmas set and I colored the images with Tombow markers. I also used two other A Muse stamps Ho Ho HO and We wish you a Merry Christmas on the inside. The paper is from Daisy D's and one of my favorite little books for cardmakers. I also used pompoms, glitter pens, an antique red button, large gigi Marvy scalloped punch, paper piercer and mat, green bazzil paper, scalloped scissors, colored staples, 3M mounting tape and more. I colored with Copics. I will be back hopefully Sunday evening after I get through my annual stamping Halloween party. I still have openings for the party if you want to attend. If so, please email me soon. I did mail off my ATCs to TN and I got my other ATCs done for our monthly ATC gahering at Artsy Tartsy tomorrow nite. I have to go to the dentist on Wed., get lots of class samples designed, write two orders, and help out a friend on Thursday. Plus, my Halloween party is coming up real soon and I have to finish up my samples for the big event!! Yikes, I better get offline and stop watching Dancing with the Stars. I hope you all have a super week. Thanks for stopping by. Tami : )

Happy Birthday Baby!!

What a day! Kits, kits and more kits. Its the story of my life as a kitmaker. I'm ready to leave tomorrow at 7:15 am for Pine City. I will for sure need a large coffee and a couple of toothpicks. Actually I'm really looking forward to our beautiful fall trip *up north* as the Minnesotans say. Change of plans. I'm going up with Wendy and I have a few more signups so COOL beans on The Pine City Scrapbooking Co. road trip. Here we come with bells on! I hope you all have a lovely fall weekend. It is going to be in the low 70's here in Minnesota. I have to make three sets of Atcs on Sunday. Yikes once again.

Happy fall you all. We are so lucky to have delicious honey crisp apples in MN. Yumo. I love them so much. I am so looking forward to another great day with my buddy Wendy Lou. Then next Sat. is my Halloween party. Peace and Happy stamping. Tami : )

Oh isn't my Missy Ballance card sweet? I used a new gem on her party hat. I hope it survives the trip to CA. My black glaze pen acted up on the buttons so they are a little large. Bad pen!! I finally used my new Fiskar border punch the one that was so hard to find. I got mine at Target long ago. I colored this card with Copics and used my Cuttlebug swirl folder on the large scalloped pink oval. The ribbon is from Archiver's and it was a steal during Scrapfest back in Sept. at Mall of America. I bought several rolls of it what a surprise! That's all for this week my friends. I will try to post another card on Sunday evening.

Mrs. Claus says hello!! Buns up (get it?)

Hello peeps. I made this card because I wanted to live up to my reputation that it really is All in the Details plus I was feeling a little cocky (I hope that's a word). First of all, Mrs. Claus has bling in her bun's bow and I put on her red stud gem earrings. I think I will keep this card for a very special friend that is far away. Oh, I actually dug out my southwestern corner punch and notched the corners. I did put white stickles in each corner but you can't see it. There are gold highlights all over Mrs. Claus. The sweet image is from a new Missy Ballance Christmas clear set. It is available thru A Muse as well as the sweet holiday sentiment and green paper. I colored with Copics. I think she's adorable and her apron is distressed linen. He he. I will be adding lots of classes starting now Sept. I'm just firming up all the details. I'm so excited to begin my fall journey. I have lots of fun things planned including my annual Halloween party. I hope you had a fun weekend. I sure did!! As always, thanks for stopping by my bloggie. Tami
