Hello and Happy Sunday! 
While I listened to the game and caught glimses of the commercials I worked on cards. This is one of the Valentine's cards that I made for Simon Says Stamps and the ABC Challenge in which Julie gave us some pictures to use for inspiration. I chose a rose filled heart in pinks. The first thing that I did is take this new little stamp Daisy Bucket designs called loves me and stamped it on white cardstock and inked the edges w/ pink piroquette. I then used my versamark and utee and put about 4 coats on it, stuck it in the freezer for a couple of minutes and then crackled it- putting a bit more red in the cracks. I really love this type of embellishment, even thou
gh it takes a little time it is always well worth the work. A close up for you............Then I used the wonderful SU Valentine pack and paired with grey (my new favorite neutral!). Just a nice soft Valentine! I just realized, I forgot to add my stickles to my roses - this is one of my favorite things to do lately, just makes them look more elegant! Thanks for stopping in and have a great day!
Hello everyone! Today's card I is quite simple but I thought elegant and pretty. I embossed it with the SU embossing folder and added some sparkle. AND.... what you could do with this card, birthday, thank you, etc...... 
Happy Saturday! 
Today's card is one that I made using one of my new SU sets. I just love the sentiment and the colors together are so yummy. Cherry cobbler, olive and browns: and although they are not really true christmas colors they come together to make a rich elegant card, don't you think? I am entering this card in the SSIC challenge that required us to use a sentiment of peace.
So I used poppy and pear with the black and it really looks cool (more so in RL I think!). I thought you could easily change this card up and make it masculine or feminine too! Hope you enjoy and have a great Sunday! 
Hello everyone! Today's card is, or shall I say my cards are simple cards that I needed to have on hand. You know how every now and then you want a clean card, small one (4x4) that you can jot a quick note down? I made these for that exact occasion. I am also thinking of making a few more sets (masculine ones as well) and putting them in our local craft show in November. I am hoping that it is something that might sell well.
Does this remind you of summer or what? All that orange and yellow, and green. Well that or else you feel like an orang/lemon drink! LOL. I am going to participate in a craft show this fall and I am trying to make up some thank you, birthday, and a few sympathy/wedding cards, along with Christmas of course to sell. I don't usually do well at craft shows but my youngest son said he would sit at the booth and try to sell. I may try some notebooks or something else like that as well- we will have to see how much time I have. 
Hello everyone! Welcome back- as you can see I have another sweet card using a Verve sketch. I just love the simplicity and ease of them. I used the SU embossing folder to give the plain part a little definition. And as you see- the colors are gorgeous (well I think so!). Hope you enjoyed it. 
ys- sorry. Just didn't have anything made and didn't have any time to get something done for you all. But, I finally set my mind to it, plugged in my MOJO and went on over to VERVE to get some inspiration. They have a new release coming out on Friday so lots of sketches (and you know how much I LOVE Julee's sketches. 
So, here is another masculine card for this week. The background is a Cover-All stamp that I got this weekend (again, my husband made me buy it- :) ). I stamped it in cocoa and then the card is made again with the lighthouse stamp (ODBD) which I used a bit of copics, colored pencils, blender pen and distressing. I am really happy with this one as well- I am always struggling with the masculine cards. Hope you enjoyed! 
This weekend I got to go to the local stamp convention and my wonderful husband came along with me. He saw this stamp and thought it would be great to make masculine cards. Well who was I to deny him the purchase (I think he had me spending twice as much as I would have!). Anyways, so this card was stamped in black and then I stamped the lighthouse again and then used the crackle tecnique to do the lighthouse. And well, I do think that it turned out masculine. 
Of course over on the Verve Parade for this month the challenge is to make items that reflect our heroes (is that spelled right?). The dSP came out of one of my K&Co paper books, the stamps is SU from a few years ago. I love it and like to leave it simple in black or brown. 
So I used that wonderful Nestabilities label (funny story, I almost bought it the other day- only to find it tonight in my storage, I had forgotten that I bought it a couple months ago! ) and the rest is SU cardstock. Not sure about the DSP- a friend gave me the paper. This is really cute in person and easy to throw in the mail to a friend! 
So today's card is another one I am doing for the Verve Project Parade. I just love this sentiment and what an honor for someone to receive this- I think that you could truly send this to your HERO, don't you? All the cardstock is SU. 
Have a fabulous Day!
