Stamp of the Month Blog Hop - Baroque Borders

If you came from Sheila's Blog, you are going in the right direction, if not, start here and keep hopping and you'll do a complete circle.

 Here is what this month's stamp set looks like:

They are fun and huge!  I wanted to do something with heat embossing so here is my card:

 I'm still looking at this card and thinking "hmmm.....it needs something...." I used gold embossing powder for the gold and Twilight paper and ink for the rest.  I used 3 stamps from this set to create this card.

Close Up.

Maybe words under the little black box like "happy birthday" in a tiny font....  Or I'll pop the center flourish off and do something else - who knows!  I enjoyed embossing my whole office - the central air conditioning would turn on just as I was pouring the powder and I felt like Tinkerbell with pixie dust.

Thanks for looking and now hop over to Allisa's blog to see some other great ideas for this stamp set.

Action Shot!

My daughter has talked about seeing in an ad about a Zip Line in the Wisconisin Dells and that she would love to try it - well here is a mini Zip Line that she loved at a Gymnastics Birthday Party!  They said she had great form! (Look out Wisconsin Dells - we'll be trying that there - not!)

A Sneak Peek

My faithful assistant Jeanie is showing off a sneak peek at something I am making for a Brewer Game Party for a Friend.  What a great helper!

How I spent my summer vacation?

SUMMER

It's going by too fast.  I've not had time to post hardly anything the last few months. 

Things keeping me busy:
I've been working on losing weight - I'm a happy 15 lbs lighter! I have an app for it!
Jeanie in swimming and tumbling classes and attended 4 birthday parties
Sleeping in the Camper, babysitting neighbor kids for a weekend
Golf League on Friday nites - just for fun!
(I can't even think!) So much more!

Here is a name in vinyl I did for a friend's sister: 

The photo was taken with a cell phone and so it may be a little harder to see.  It is 36 x 12 inches big (looks small in the photo!)

I will post more soon.
