WISH BIG!

Happy Saturday all! I totally forgot to get this card posted after making it earlier this week. I am loving these colors from TCP Challenge which was to use yellow, orange, teal! I totally love this little DSP that I pulled from my scrap box and apoligze for not knowing what name it is. I used baha blue, teal, and orange cardstock........ and of course some sweet orange satin ribbon! I hope you like it- giving it to one of my staff later this momth for her birthday! Have a good one! Other challenges: Mojo Monday Flourishes

Score......

I popped onto my blog this morning and went, where is today's post? Low and behold I had not prepared one! Imagine that. So I went through my uploads and found this sweet little birthday card that I made this last weekend. I know I say this all the time but I just don't have many birthday cards made up so I like this one. And to dress up the bottom of the card I just scored it both directions. Now, I do not have a scorepal so I just used my trimmer and it was very easy. I really need to get a few more Birthday Greetings as this is my ole' faithful one I pull out all the time. So that is it- have a great day and stay warm!

A card of Support

You ever just think, Oh- I need to send that person a card just to let them know I am thinking of them? Well I was thinking the other day that here I make all these card and overall we (as a society) don't send as many cards and hand written notes as we used to. Isn't that sad? I mean, I LOVE to get mail that is something hand made, hand written and other than bills. :) So this card is a card that I can put in the mail to show someone I am thinking of them or that I am supporting them. I love the brightness of it- it is October Afternoon of course. And that is it for today!

Challenge: JustRite: card of support

It is fall....... the leaves must come down (and some acorns too!)

I wanted to make some fall colored/accented birthday cards and I just got my leaf nestabilities so I figured I would put it to good use. I love how the card came out- I just wish I had some editing program on my system to make it fancier and look more elegant. I mean the card is gorgeous but it doesnt look so much on the picture. The DSP is some Daisy D that someone sent to me and it is so fall"ish" . Then see my little acorns? LOL, I found them at Micheal's for thanksgiving and thought they would be pretty accents in my photos- so expect more pictures with them. :) Ok, off I go!

Beary Birthday!

Hello everyone! Thank you for joining me today. I am excited to show you this card because it is a new stamp that I got from my friend Jilanne and he is adorable AND he is a bear. So of course, I am going to enter him for the Cute Bear Challenge which is to do anything but square and a tag (in my case- it is a tab). LOL!

I colored this sweet Penny Black with my copics and used some tasty DSP. See that little weave on the baja breeze? Well that is one of the new SU embossing folders and I just adore it because it is so country(ish) and I also think that it is one that you can always use to give your card the masculine feel (something I can always use some help with). As you probably already know, the tab punch is also SU.

With that- I finish for the day! Have a good one and hope to you will stop over again!

Fairy Birthday!

Hello everyone......... welcome again today! Today's card is one that I did for the LOTV Challenges. This little angel/fairy is picking flowers just for you!

The sketch is part of the challenge so they took care of that hard part for me. I also stamped this on glittery paper and just love the little shimmer that I get but not sure that you can see it from the photo. I colored with my copics (yeah- they are happy to be used again I am sure!). The flowers are a wonderful gift from my blogging friend Jacquie.

And that is for today all! Thanks again and talk to you later.

BIG BEAR

Hello again! It is mid-week and I am thrilled, that means half way to the weekend! No big plans right now and honestly hoping to keep it that way. I just adore this BIG bear, he looks so cuddly and fun doesn't he? Just another cute bear for the Cute Bear Challenge!

Blue Birthday

Hello everyone! I hope it is a good weekend for you all! This is another weekend that we do not have plans- yahoo! It means I can do some crafting!The DSP is beautiful isn't it? I love the blues..... I hardly ever use blue ;and now I wonder why? Added a little old olive and some sweet little PTI buttons.

Summer Bouquet

But today I spent some time working on some Verve Party Sketches as well as graduation announcements which I will eventually show you once they are all done.

Inspirational Birthday

This card was made for a friend for his mother's birthday. It happens to be my favorite ODBD set and so I am going to use it for their challenge this week as well. She is spiritual and he wanted some thing inspirational on the card. I had to think about this because well typically bible verses don't have a whole lot to do with birthdays. So I went with this cross from ODB. The paper I can not recall which line it is from but it was so pretty in full sheet..... I then used the MS deep edge punch. Inside the card I then put . a nice inspirational quote which ended in Happy Birthday That is it for today....... have a good one!

Delightful Birthday

This is a card that I made this last weekend for a color sketch over at Verve. Is it not beautiful? I would never have used these colors together but I love them now: Teal, Olive and Black. The teal is embossed with my Fleur folder and then the black is punched with the MS Deep Edge Floral Vine punch. I will tell you the deep edges I thought would be too big for cards but I am loving them! The sentiment is an InkaDinkaDoo,

I hope you have a wonderful week!

Goofy Birthday

Good Morning! I was finishing up my card making binge and my hubby says to me, "Can you make a card for Lynn's grandfather who is turning 81?" Well I mean I was a little blurry eyed and thought what kind of card do you make a man turning 81? He tells me he likes fishing, wildlife and that is about it. I do not have any fishing stamps and just couldn't think of anything and then I remembered the gruffie with the cake. I pulled out my sentiments and the first one I saw was this one and I love it and can never find the right card to put it on. THIS was it. The image is colored with copics and then I added some stickles to his cake. The paper is from a Basic Grey Two Scoops and the colors all worked well with my Blue Bayou from SU. Simple, not too frilly and kind of funny, figured when you turn 81 you just gotta laugh at those birthdays! Then I find out that Lynn had asked Hubby to ask me to make him a card- had I known that I would have made him a few to choose from but it was already 11pm on Sunday and I had no energy left so I hope he likes it!
