Horizons!

 I've done a little of stamping in the past week or so.  I really love the March Paper Pumpkin - Beyond The Horizon - and have made a bunch of cards using the set.  It is gorgeous and coordinates well with 6x6 DSP, New Horizons.


This card uses the 6x6 DSP, New Horizons, along with the stamp set, On The Horizon (as a bundle.)  I bought this die mainly for the fence but I love the other dies and stamps in this set.  I am pretty sure it will carry over to the new Annual Catalog. 


This was such a simple card to make but has a WoW factor!  I opened up one of the cards from the Paper Pumpkin and cut it in two.  I used one of the dies from the Stitched Rectangles to die cut a rectangle in the middle of the card.  I cut a border around the Stitched Rectangle piece and mounted in over the hole I cut out with dimensionals.  The card is made using Misty Moonlight (In Color) cardstock.  For the tag, I used the Tailor Made Dies.



For this card, I cut off about 1 1/2" and adhered the piece I cut off to the bottom of the Paper Pumpkin card.  All the elements and the card came directly from the Paper Pumpkin kit.  See the card opened up below.



This is the card opened up using more elements from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Cruise Time!

I returned from my cruise last Monday.  Ashley and I had a blast!  We went to concerts at night and broiled ourselves in the sunshine during the day.  (I'm waiting for my arms to peel!)  The musicians who performed for us included The Beach Boys, Temptations, Monkees, a Beatles band called Hard Days Night who were wonderful, Joe Piscopo, Emerson Hart, Yacht Rock Review, The Surfrajettes, and Mark BMacGrath.  My favorite was the Temptations and the Hard Days Night band.  The Beatles band had  custom tailored costumes, vintage instruments, Liverpudian dialect and precise attention to every detail recreating the magic and music of the total Beatle phenomenon.  Three costume changes during their set covered the full range of the Beatle experience.  The Temptations still have it and they are celebrating their 60th anniversary!  The sole surviving member of the original classic Temptations, Otis Williams, is 80 years old but you wouldn't believe it.  


Beautiful ice sculpture.


What skills!


This was Saturday night 60's.  We found bell bottoms at WalMart!

Groovy head bans!
