I am so excited this afternoon!  Just opened my e-mail and there was a message from Deborah Laffitte!  She had made my Mini Album and posted photos!

Didn't she do an awesome job!  I so love the paper she chose to do it in!  Thank you Deborah for sharing your album with me!

Fun Fold Card

Have you made a Fun Fold Card?  I started to work on one, inked up my stamp and stamped away....
Oh my goodness, I couldn't get that stamp to take up the ink!  First thing I do is wash the stamp, check the ink pad for any thing sticking to it....  How that would happen to a brand new ink pad I do not know....  Than on went the "cheaters", really too a look at the stamp.  Now this is a new stamp set from Stampin' Up....  Awesomely Artistic!  I love this set.  The stamps are made to look artistic...  The dragonfly is not perfect,  The ferns are not perfect... the stamps are suppose to look imperfect!  That is why it is Awesomely Artistic!!  I know sometimes it just takes me a while to get it!

I have finished the card and I love it!  But, can not show it to you until this person receives it!

So have a wonderful night and I will see what I come up with tomorrow on a new project!

Take care,

New Beginning

Today marks a new beginning.

I have to start a new blog as I was unable to post in the old, SamisticCards.blogspot.com

This one I am in hopes will stay user friendly...  Don't we all wish that?

Here I will post my moments of rambling, cards I make, projects that can and do get me into trouble. I also hope to remember to publish my directions as well.

Please bear with me as I start!!
