More Sew Suite

More of the cards I made for my sisters, Jeanne and Jeannette, made with Sew Suite.  I still love this stamp set and the DSP!

   I copied the design by Mary Brown's card, just changed the colors.

Inspired by Julie Marshall's card.

Pretty much copied Gretchen Barron's card.

Inspired by Raissa Spatola's card.

Yall have a good day and great weekend! :)

Spring Card

Easter Blossoms stamp set and Springtime Vintage DSP.

Sparkling Sew Suite

I am pretty sure that I saw a card similar to this somewhere on the web, but don't recall where.  Everything is Stampin' Up!, except for the pink rhinestones.  I can see myself making these over and over again, just changing the sentiment.

This reminds me of a story about when we were young and my mom sewed most of our clothes.  We lived on a farm and the sacks that the grains for the cattle came in were colorful like these dresses.  My sister, Ellen, who was probably about 5 years old had a teacher that complemented her on her dress.  Ellen said my mom made this out of an old sack.  I am not sure that the teacher realized she was telling the truth. Lol

Sew Glad We're Friends

Good Morning!  From the moment I saw the sewing items in the mini, I was thrilled!  My mom and two of my sisters are seamstresses.  I have dabbled a little in sewing myself, mostly when my daughter was a baby.  So I was very excited to get my hands on sewing "stuff."  My sisters, who are twins, will be receiving some of the creations I have made with these stamps for their birthday ( I hope Jeanne & Jeannette aren't reading this.)  I used the Pattern Pieces stamp from the Stampin' Up Occasions Mini Catalog for the large image.   The sewing machine image is from Puns from the Past.  The button is our new embosslit.  So cute!

 

I've Been Zindorfed!!

I took Michelle's beginning brayer workshop!  It was awesome!  (I need to practice so much-lol). I am glad I didn't take the advanced class because I would have been overwhelmed with more info and it gives me something to look forward to next time she comes around.  Yes, I really did make those!!  Of course, I did need one on one instructions and look at how "white gel happy" I was.   Michelle was so patient with me.

Hello?!! 2011?

My first post of the year had to be for something or someone special!  Joey Ortego was born Monday, weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. and measuring 20 " long.  My niece, Nicole, had an amnio done and he does not have a chromosome defect, but does have a major heart problem.  Isn't he so precious?!!!!  Oh my gosh, I love every extra finger and toe!  Please pray for Joey and his family as the doctors in New Orleans work on making him
 healthier.                                                                                                                                 

I have been away for a long time.  It was difficult watching my dear mother in law pass away and then burying her at Christmas.  As part of the healing process, I have been redoing my stamp room.  I will soon be finished and will take pictures for the blog.  I am proud of myself!  (and so is my husband, who is tired of seeing my stuff all over).  It is amazing what "alot" of organization can do for your ability to be creative.
Happy 2011,
Elizabeth

Happy New Year!!!
