Reflections

Just thought I would share a couple of cards I created a while back before I started blogging.
On theses two cards I did the reflection technique.  Basically you stamp image on the top of card then before cleaning stamp ....... stamp a second time under the first image.

Another snow storm

Yes, more snow this month.  Take a look at our winter wonderland.  It's nice when you can stay home but if I had to go out in the snow storm then it wouldn't be a winter wonderland.  At least the trees look pretty with all the snow on them. 

Mexico Postcard buddies

Mexico was fun to visit in our postcards.
I want to thank you for leaving me comments when you can. It's fun to read them and just lets me know that you enjoy reading my ramblings (as my husband calls them) and share in the creativity of rubber stamping.  So keep leaving me comments and who knows maybe I'll do another little giveaway sometime soon. 

Ireland Postcard Buddies

Ireland the luck of the Irish.  We are a stamping bunch so we always try to include stamping in our postcards.  The fun thing about this month was I didn't have any Ireland or Irish stamps so I improvised.  Used heart punches to create a shamrock and a bird that is colored with teal ink but here looks more blue.  Enjoy!
