First Time with OSW cards

I went to a workshop Saturday at my friend, Luanne's home, and she showed us girls how to make OSW cards. I had seen these on SCS, even cut out one sheet to create some from patterned paper. In the end I really didn't think I would like them, so I put it off. The pieces are still here in my half-started baggie full of goodies. *roll eyes*
Well, she introduced us to the Wild Rose set, which will be retiring soon -- so it was a "get it if your interested" day. I fell in LOVE with this set. I had tried two-step stamping before, too, and never really liked my creations. Well, with Luanne's help, the Wild Rose set, and the stamp-a-ma-jig my patterned paper turned out gorgeous (if I dare say so myself). We all had a fun time chit-chatting and creating. All in all, it was a good day with a fun group of girls, rubber stamps, ink, and our cutters. *wink*
Here is my attempt at getting them all in the picture.
Here are a few I really like.
Stamps: Wild Rose, All Holidays, and Garden Collage from Stampin Up
Inks: Purely Pomegranate, Groovy Guava, River Rock, and Blue Bayou
CS: Vanilla, and the In colors (same as listed above in Inks)
Accessories: Double stitched ribbon in blue bayou and purely pomegranate, silver brads, pewter brads, sheer burgundy ribbon (close match to pom), vanilla lacy ribbon,
:) Thanks for stopping by!
First signature idea

These are so great! I especially love the 2nd and 4th ones. This would make such a cute card set. I love how they all coordinate.

Kelly I love all your cards they are great!! Your OSW are awesome. You said to list something I would like to see made into a stamp. I'm not sure many people would need or want this but I have a friend with a DD who is disabled and she is always in a wheelchair. She has been working on a scrapbook for her DD and we have surfed the web everywhere and can not find one. I made her a card once with one of my SU sets that has a little girl in a wagon. She was so excited with that card. It was as close as I could get to a wheelchair. If you or any of your readers have seen a wheelchair stamp perferable with a little girl in it. Please let me know.

Thanks
