My First Ketto!!

Happy Saturday Night, girls!

It has been a beautiful Saturday in NE FL today after several days of icky severe thunderstorms, wicked lightening and constant tornado watches. It was sunny and about 78 today. To top it off, my cutie-pie 5 year old son scored his first soccer goal today!! YAY!! His Mom (me) & Coach (me, again) are so proud of him!! This is his 3rd season to play and he loves it!

I forgot to mention that my oldest baby, Katie (12) scored her first lacrosse goal last weekend!! It was her 2nd lacrosse game ever! She has picked up this sport so fast and seems to {heart} it! I will post pics of her soon!

These new Ketto stamps from Stamping Bella are SOOO KEWL!

After waiting rather impatiently for them to arrive, they are finally here!!

I made this card for my 'Card Chicks' swap group of local chickies! (To my 'chicks' - yes, this is my March card!! LOL!! It's only April 4th!! Sorry I was so late!)

This is a rather 'busy' card for me - usually I have a hard time using more than 1 patterned paper on a card - this one has 3!! I used Basic Grey's Urban Prairie to complete SC222. The card base is my fav color - Cool Caribbean (going to have to hunt more of it down on the 'net pretty soon - running low!) I also used So Saffron and some pink Bazzill. I inked around the edges of the stamped image with some Regal Rose. I stamped the sentiment, cut and embossed it with my nesties and then sponged Cool Caribbean on with the nestie still covering it. I used Primas, bling from Kaiser and Apricot Appeal ribbon (SU). The sentiment is from the Friend Sentiments set by Amy R. (ATS) - which are 15% off at All That Scraps right now!!

**ENABLER ALERT!** - check out the sale at ATS!

I have vowed to try to use my Primas more....

Last week I re-organized all of my non-SU ribbon into larger biscuit jars from Target. I went through and purged some old foam stamps that I was storing in there. They will have a happy new home with my SIL in TX who just starting scrapbooking after visiting me last week! I sent her home with a ton of supplies, tools, etc that I was not using anymore!! Who needs 6 different 12" paper trimmers anyway?? Anywho, back to the point....I took all of my Primas out of their original containers and divided them by color groups into medium biscuit jars (Target). I then, realized that I need to start using them!! I never thought I had that many!!

Here is a picture of them and my ribbons:

I eventually will get some more jars and separate them out by color family. (click picture for a closer look)

Here are the Copics I used for this card:

Sorry for the novel tonight!! I am sleepy now and am going to crash!
