A few things to share

I read Karla Nathan's blog daily--karlascottage.typepad.com and I must say it is one of my favorites. It is like visiting bed and breakfast everyday while looking in on Karla, who is a fantastic artist and paints the most beautiful roses of anyone I have seen. Anyhow, Karla loves angels and fairys and I told her that I had a neat fairy stamp and would send her a card. She very nicely said that she would send me one of hers too. This is what I received in the mail the other day. She had the card wrapped in vintage newspaper and ribbon with her beautiful business card attached. Inside was a great card that Karla had used scraps of vintage paper and made a card. It makes mine look plain. ( I forgot to take a photo of mine before it went off in the mail, sorry!! But I used the tinkerbella from the bella stamps). Go visit Karla on her blog and see if you don't agree with me.

I made a card for the splitcoast sketch challenge again and this time used a tutorial from Maria Bell (another most talented card maker and blogger). This one was with the doodle this set and I embossed the doodle flowers with gold and silver embossing powder and then cut out and formed a flower with some wire. Attached everything together with a brad. Then bent up the wire under the top flower and it holds the flower up. I love this. The photo shows the wire. it is really pretty IRL. I may try this again. I had forgotten that I had copper embossing powder and I think I would like to try a little heavier gauge wire.

Thanks for checking in today. Splitcoast seems to be down and I am bored. I mounted some stamps today and put some mod podge on a little case I made for my grandaughter to put her polly pocket toys in. Not sure if I like it well enough to photograph for you to see.

Jerry finished waxing the camper and it looks so nice. Now he is making a cover for the ball of the 5th wheel hitch so you don't get grease on you when you walk in front of it. I love my camper!!!

It is hot here today. The dogs are going in and out. They are bored too.

I should make a card today. I want to do the gatefold card from Beate, but with splitcoast down, I can't go and get the instructions. So.....

Cheryl out!!

Fun day Sat.

I had a wonderful day yesterday. Kathy, Pat and I went to the Stamper show in Winston Salem. I bought a terrific looking embossing set from Powderkegembossing powders.com. I bought the whole kit and kaboddle!!! Them made me a C with the set and it is beautiful. I even bought the Ritzy Ditzy Glitz spray. Now I just need time to play with all of this. I got a 99 piece of chipboard alpha set too so I am all set to have fun.
Our daughter and granddaughter came last evening from PA so I am in Grandma heaven today. Helen was 2 in Jan. and I don't get to see her often so she doesn't know me very well. I will have to get reacquainted with her today after she gets up. It was an 8 hour ride for her and she was tired so she and her mom are still asleep. I am having all I can do to keep from going in and waking them up. I bought Helen the cutest Disney crocs to wear and they fit her and look adorable.
So, if I don't post in the next few days, you will know why--I am off in grandma land enjoying the journey!
Thanks for checking in and I will post a review on the powderkeg products when I get to play with them.
