As you may all know by now...I have a sick obsession with Hanna Stamps. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE my other dealers...uhm...I mean stamping companies...but I don't know what it is about Hanna Stamps! Anywho...I made this card yesterday before the Hanna release party because I was gonna submit it for a challenge. Turns out I read it wrong and entered it an hour late. I thought I had seen PST but nope...it was EST! DUH GABBY! It was no harm in sharing anyways...so I still posted it! LOL! OMG I am SOOOOO happy with this card! I tooted my own horn, patted my own back and shoulders, and legs, and hands, and head, and feet....you get it! I am VERY proud of this card...it's like no other card I've ever made before! The only thing stamped here is Hanna, the palm tree, and the sailboat...the rest was freehanded! Yeah...UH HU! LOL! It's also my first time in a LONG time making a larger card. This one hear measures 6X6. Oh yeah...it's a whopper! Anywho...what do you think?

Excuse me! Who are YOU callin' a witch?

HA HA HA...crazy title huh? Don't you ever wish you can say this? Actually...I have said it but not to a witch! ;) As promised...a Halloweeny card! YAY ME! LOL! It was actually made for an MFT Guest Designer challenge. It's a chance for me to...and only wish of course...on becoming at least a one month guest designer for one of my favorite stamp companies. I laugh everytime I use these Who's That Girl? stamps because...eeek...they have no heads!!! But OMG they are so much fun to play with. I inked up this set JUST for this challenge. I had something completely different in mind when I started this card out...but hanging at the release party and being given a little shove by my girl Joy...I had to tweak it up a bit! THANKS JOY! :P You HO! And I say thatin a lovin' way and you know it! It's an inside thing ya'll...she's not gonna freak if I call her a HO! LMBO! Anywho...whatcha think?

From 'Swimmers Ear' to 'Hawaii on the Brain'!

Well peeps...looks like my ears are getting better little by little and now it's passible enough for me to blog! YAY! So with awesome pain meds and antibiotics to help my infection...I am back in action! Last night was my first night to get back to stamping and it felt soo good! Good thing my Muse was up with me as I accomplished plenty of things like swaps and what not I had to get out of the way. Thanks to all who left well wishes! HUGS!

This "card" I made here was for a few reasons!

1. I thought the tutorial was great and the outcome SO different from what I'm use to! 2. There is a Hanna challenge to use the Luau set and ya'll KNOW how much I LOVE Hanna stamps! The challenge was to create a scene...so I don't know if this card will qualify, but I tried. My scene I guess is the flowers and the base as the "sand"...lol. and 3. There was ANOTHER Hanna challenge to make ANYTHING 3 dimensional using Hanna stamps! So in a way I killed 3 birds with one stone! ;) Good aim I may say! LOL!

OMG you can't even IMAGINE the scent coming off this card!!! I used my old soap scents to scent the flowers and base up using MangoPapaya scented "smellies"...my own smellies! I have so many scents stored I need to start bringing them out to make my cards smelly...lol.

I know I promised Halloweeny stuff...but I HAD to do this first! Next up...an MFT card! Ooooh! Now I need to make a Michaels trip to see if they have Martha Stewarts "dripping" edge punch! ;) I just noticed in on SCS on a card in the gallery and thought...HOW FUN!!! I'll have to wait until Friday though when Oscar is off since I can't drive due to my pain meds. Oh well!

So...what you think of this "Free Standing" pop up card?
