both are super, my fav is the second one : ) but I love the effect of the baby wipe on the leaves, I may try that too

stampinspooky · 09-20-2012, 04:22 PM

Thanks Soni, especially for your prayers, our niece has already had 2 chemo treatments and will have her 3rd tomorrow......
I used the re-inkers on a folded baby wipe, just put a drop or 2 of each color on a fold and wiped it on the leaf, was kinda fun

SuzyS1104 · 09-23-2012, 08:05 AM

Hey Sue....keeping your niece in my thoughts and prayers. Keep us posted.

SuzyS1104 · 09-23-2012, 08:06 AM

Still haven't had a chance to do any cards from Amy's envelope. Hope I can do something today. Hey...while I'm doing laundry! I love it when an idea hits!!!

stampinspooky · 09-24-2012, 12:11 PM

Thanks Suzy....she is still in the hospital, may go home Wed.

Soni B · 09-26-2012, 11:06 AM

Hi ladies, stopping in to see how Sue's niece is doing...

and I did take time to play a little...I only have 2 cards done so far from Amy's envelope... but more ideas just waiting to be put together... I love these leaves...

so here they are I did use versa mark dazzel and then the ink and heat embossed with clear E P just to stay with the glossy look of the leaves... : )
I may try to add color to the other leaves... hmmm

SuzyS1104 · 09-26-2012, 12:26 PM

Those are very pretty, Soni.....I like that they can be either for a guy or girl!!

I have you down for getting cards made....fantastic!!! I guess that means that I need to get busy on mine! Maybe I can work on them after bowling tonight....we'll see!

stampinspooky · 09-27-2012, 03:48 AM

Soni....thanks for asking my niece is doing better, hopes to go home tomorrow, she still has a long road ahead....
Love what you did with the leaves and ditto Suzy male or female cards

SuzyS1104 · 09-28-2012, 06:39 AM

My husband should be home sometime this week after hunting in NM...then he's off to Brazil for work for 10 days...just a traveling man! His "honey do" list is getting longer by the day!

littledeb · 10-07-2012, 05:37 AM

Stock show season is fast approaching...lamb and goat validation this coming weekend. That's always fun ear tagging and tatooing those little guys. It will be a busy morning!
