Golden Anniversary

I am pleased with the outcome of this card. My aunt asked me to make an anniversary card for some dear friends of hers and I will be honest with you I was a little baffled, I find that anniversary cards are hard to make (kind of like sympathy cards). So I set forth on some ideas and thought keep it simple and of course "golden". I cut the numbers and the Happy Anniversary with a cricut (thanks Jen- that was a great lesson!) out of just a very light gold color because I didn't want it to clash with the white or scream "cheap!" The rest is done with the cuttlbug folders. I did layer it with some foam so it has some depth to it as well. Inside I have made a little piece that goes in that is white, layered on the gold and has a little flower again in the corner. Well that is it for today- short and sweet and to the point! Have a great day!

Happy Sunday all!
It has been a busy weekend here at my house and so I set out to work on this card for display to you today trying to focus on color and summertime. Of course this is Tilda with her little ladybug friend that I got from Kelly over at KLSNS awhile ago. I know Kelly still has this one if you missed out and I just love her, isn't that little outfit the cutest. I am still trying to find the perfect gouloshes for myself! LOL!
The designer paper is from K&Co Berry Sweet Pack and I coordinated it perfectly with SU kiwi and baha. The color in this picture does not give you a good look at that but it truly is beautiful together. The grosgrain is SU as well. Here is a close up of her dress that I colored with my copic markers. Oh and there are a few things I want to remind you of too!

Fireworks and Glitter

I just got this inkadinkado stamp in the mail from Julie at ABC Toys and Crafts and thought it would be perfect timing to use it, that way if you all are looking for 4th of July stamps you can stop over and check em out. I wanted to do something not so traditional and this is what came to mine. Someone said it was "sexy", well that is not a word I have ever heard used to describe one of my cards but hey, if it elicits this feeling you go girl! LOL- you know who you are too! But I really liked this Red, black and white feeling. And as you can see in the lower photos I used some stickles to add a little sparkle to the card randomly. I hope as you prepare to make your cards you'll check these out!

Watermelon Delight

Today's post will be quick, it if Friday and I woke to (seriously) a hot air balloon landing in my front yard/street. He just made it over the top of the house, glided down into the front yard and nicked the top of one of my pine trees and landed right there on the curb. It was quite exciting and lets say that my neighbors all know I wear sleep pants with butterflies on them! I was out there in a flash with my camera BUT dummy me left the card in my computer so it will have to wait to be loaded.

So today's card is a little bear with watermelon and I honesly do not know what image this is because it was one that I got on SCS pif thread and thought he was cute so I nabbed it. That thread is awesome if you want instant images instead of making your wish list and waiting for one to arrive. I colored this little guy with my copic markers and then used some DCWV paper and matted on SU. It is just a nice summery card.

Have a blessed week and take care.

Ok one more Party Dragon.......... hee hee hee! I had to do this one to match the paper. This paper is Basic Grey Cupcake line and it is fun and bright and Kelly at KLSNS had sent it to me a month or so ago and I just had to use some more of it. Of course I stamped the image with Memento tuxedo black and colored it with my coordinating copics. I have really been working on my highlighting and blending- can you all tell yet? I think that I can: especially on his shirt and then on the cupcake I think. My card is a 5x5 card with a SU pumpkin pie base and a little SU mellow moss thrown in there. The hard part with this card? I don't have any little boys to give it to.... is that sad?

Oh and one last thing- do you want to win some SWEET Blog Candy- here is a picture of what you get- just sign up here on the KLSNS blog and you will be entered to win! You will get a CB folder and a Rachelle Anne Miller stamps and some other goodies- definately worth the trip over there!

All Natural

For some reason I am into altering boxes now, this is one I got at JoAnn's for $1 and just covered with some of my sweet natural papers. I was thinking "green" when I made it and wanted it to be outdoorsy, wasn't sure what I was going to use it for (or what the recipient would use it for) so kept it simple. I covered the top with the creature paper and then the sides are done in two different coordinating papers. Here is a picture of the side of the box. The sentiment is from one of my retired SU sets stamped on nestabilities.

I hope you are all having a fabulous day!
