could you look for a mops group?

Afternoon!

misse336 · 08-03-2010, 10:17 AM

Where is everyone?!

misse336 · 08-03-2010, 10:18 AM

I was running errands this morning and am now trying to avoid cleaning, laundry, unpacking boxes, organizing, etc. I need someone to come chat with me so I don't feel compelled to do it.

I'm trying to convince myself that since I don't normally make cards larger than A2 size that I don't need the larger size.

Pretty sure that it's a SU exclusive and no other companies are supposed to have them.

Making note not to join swaps!

I like this one that Kelly posted a lot (although I think I would make the white panel a little larger or do something different where the rhinestone is at the bottom).

Awash With Flowers No. 1 by LYP - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Crimped Diamond Flowers by dostamping - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

I like the second one, although I'd just use a plain embossed sheet (maybe the new lattice one?) of cs instead of a crimper.

I like the first one, but piercing the entire way around the card would take forever times 45.

misse336 · 08-03-2010, 10:31 AM

Hello, hello, hello, hello .................

misse336 · 08-03-2010, 10:32 AM

ODB is now going to carry dies too!

First PTI and now ODB!!!

I like the stamp set with the first die too.

(Scroll down to see the dies.)

misse336 · 08-03-2010, 10:39 AM

Off to get something done since no one is coming out to play.

laurlynn · 08-03-2010, 10:42 AM

Don't run away yet... I was in the gallery again trying to finalize an idea (aka CASE).

That first one is actually the first one I found. Just afraid that I wouldn't get that solid crisp color in the flower every time.

And I liked that the second one is yellow - not one of my go-to colors but it's so bright and cheery, and wouldn't take up a whole pack of one of my fav colors (sorry, selfish I know).

Just found another one I like by this same stamper: Awash in Razzleberry by bon2stamp - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

It doesn't feel right to case for a swap though, but I would give credit on my label on the back of the card.

tamijo · 08-03-2010, 10:53 AM

so take a few elements from your fave cards and then make it your own.

Chautona · 08-03-2010, 10:54 AM

Ok... I'm thinking a 33 dollar savings on pre-order is worth doing it now, then. Hmmmmm

tamijo · 08-03-2010, 10:56 AM

going to take a nap I think- I'm tired and very overwhelmed right now

Yep, that what I'm working on right now; I'll let you know if it works out.

Here's one Stacy would like:

laurlynn · 08-03-2010, 11:12 AM

Here's another really fun card...new colors using an old set:

Don't Look Kelli by bon2stamp - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

bon2stamp might be one of my favorite galleries right now.

laurlynn · 08-03-2010, 11:13 AM

Gotta run...bbl

Chautona · 08-03-2010, 11:46 AM

Can someone do me a favor? Can you go here

Chautona » Blog Archive » Secrets…

Click on the media shipping option for one book and tell me what your paypal tries to charge you? (Just don't hit the final pay option!!!!!)

I've had two (out of about 30 since I put up that button) that haven't added the shipping. It's weird because I can't figure out why.

Chautona · 08-03-2010, 01:06 PM

WHERE ON EARTH IS CHALLICE.

(I plan to bribe her with food if she'll get me some.)

newstampinaddict · 08-03-2010, 01:51 PM

OK-- Day off tomorrow. Grandma is watching DS, DD is going to school... and Mom??? this mom is going to spend the day in the basement. Hopefully I will be able to make 4 or 5 cards tomorrow.

Thursday? Grandma, Mom, DS, and DD are going to the Children's Museum to "get Messy" Can't wait!~

newstampinaddict · 08-03-2010, 01:56 PM

gotta run! See y'all later!

tamijo · 08-03-2010, 02:20 PM

okay- up from my nap- think I'll try to make a card tonight

MindyYoung · 08-03-2010, 02:26 PM

Evening! Workshop today was boring, but I knew it would be. However, it did put me at 19.5 hrs towards my 20hrs needed for training this coming school year! Now to meet with the one new teacher I'll be working with, have him sign off that we met and discussed work stuff and I won't have to go to inservices this year!! WOO HOO!

How is everyone's day going?

MindyYoung · 08-03-2010, 02:28 PM

Gonna go read while DS1's math tutor is here. Later!

JBgreendawn · 08-03-2010, 03:14 PM

that's funny I don't think that I could Tell you where it was before or now, I enter the site through my subscriptions and get to the new one from the end of the other LOL

MindyYoung · 08-03-2010, 03:51 PM

I noticed it when I went to get on earlier and under F&G it said we "moved". *snif* No one sent me a post card saying so

misse336 · 08-03-2010, 04:36 PM

Did you notice that they "stole" our name and called it the Chat Box forum?!

misse336 · 08-03-2010, 04:39 PM

It's Tuesday night, where is everyone?

I really like that one. You can hardly see the layer that the sentiment is on though. I would either use my nesties to make a scalloped oval layer in whatever color you make the flower and put it behind the oval or use the modern label punch in colored cs with the word window punch in white
