Happiness: Good Friends, family, summer at the beach, creating with rubber stamps

 

Swirly Dahlia

I finally stamped. I have to stamp in between games with Austin. I sure hope he is better soon. His sore throat is getting better, but now the cold is more of a nasty runny nose and cough. It’s always the same. And everytime Austin is over a sickness, he grew at least 1/2″.

I started out by using the So Swirly Jumbo roller with Soft Sky on a 3″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I stamped the big Flower from Fabulous Flowers in Versamark and embossed it with Clear embossing powder.

Next I brayered Blue Bayou Classic ink over the entire piece of cardstock. I stamped the big swirl stamp from Priceless over the blue spaces of the cardstock, wiped the extra ink over the embossed flower away with a paper towel and tied a piece of double stitched River Rock grosgrain around it.

I layered my center piece on a 4 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of soft sky cardstock, then on a 4 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ piece of cardstock and added Giga Scallop Square punches underneath.

The card base is a 5″ x 8 1/2″ piece of River Rock cardstock folded in half. I stamped the background stamp Tres Chic on it in River Rock and sponged the edges in the same color.

Pam is the best

Pam Downs is one of my favorite demonstrator friends. I think I met her first way back when Jenn and I held a stamp camp in San Antonio and she and her friends came down from Austin to participate. Gosh…that must have been four years ago! Ever since then I am so looking forward to seeing her and my other Austin friends at Stampin’ Up! events.

I think making friendships like these is one of the best things of being a demonstrator. Meeting people that share the same interests and passion for stamping is just sooo much fun.

Pam offered to swap her convention swaps with me, since I won’t be able to go to convention this year. Sweet as she is, she already send me hers. Flake as  I am, I still have to send mine.

Pam, you are too good to me. I always love your work! I saw in your SCS gallery that I photographed your card the wrong way….but I kinda like it that way! LOL

Thanks again! I promise your card will go out soon! Hugs and smiles
