Boo!!

HI Everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA the last month. I have had some serious health issues decend upon me that pretty much have me at a stand still... I'll be ok but it will take time- as a result my energy and creativity have taken a hit. Every day I think about my poor little neglected blog. Today is a better day so I sat down and created a cute little Halloween card. I've had new stamps for 3 weeks but no energy to cut them out until now...tragedy I know!! LOL Anyway.. my mojo isn't all there but I think it turned out ok. What do you think?

Supplies: Spookalicious stamp set- love it!DCWV neutral stack, matchbox kit- I used some left over peices I had when I made the kit. Love how the little label looks like a tombstone!) white gel pen, versamagic black chalk ink, blingy crystals, ribbon, flowers and buttons. If you are interested in ordering something specific just shoot me an email and I will get you the details... thanks for your patience!

Hello Robot

Just a quick post today to share my robot card with you. It's not my favorite but I thought I should share it anyway. I embossed the cute robot in silver embossing powder- really adds a lot in read life. Colored him with Tombow markers and a blending pen. The pattern paper is from the Mimi collection- the cardstock is Bazzill. I added a little paper piercing for detail. Hope you like it! This new set is so adorable. I can't wait to play with it more!

Anniversary Cards

A friend asked me to help her make an anniversary card for her sweet hubby. She is a fantastic scrapper but struggles with cardmaking. I showed her the card designs in Inspiration Avenue and she picked one she liked. She then picked out the materials and I made the card for her. The cards shown her are what I made with the scraps. They are almost the same as the orginal( she has that one!). The black pattern is printed acetate. The black and red are Bazzill Bling paper. The metal embellishment and ribbon were from a Making Memories wedding set. I used a little scrappers floss to tie the ribbons. What do you think?

Happy Thoughts

The computer is still not 100% but I was able to get this card uploaded to share with you. Its the first time I have used this new set- Happy Thoughts. This set caught my eye the first time I saw it and I have been wanting to create with it for a while. I finally had a moment last night and came up with this card. The cardstock is from Bazzill monochromatics ( yellow greens). The pattern paper is from Pop Rockz. I used an eraser and versarmark to make the dots on the background( my new favorite technique! LOL) and inked the edges with Noir palette ink and a sponge. The stamped image is embossed with Transcendence. The flower is a Bazzill bitty blossom and the ribbon is some I had on hand. What do you think??

Slight technical difficulties

My computer is giving me fits.... will post as soon as I get things back on track! Ack!! Its so frustrating!! I appreciate your patience....

A Thank You

Thanks to everyone for your love and support during this difficult time... your thoughts and prayers have truly been appreciated!

I finally found a moment to make some thank you cards for everyone who brought food over during the week we had family over. The paper is from scraps I had around.. not sure who the manufacturer is. The flower is from Bazzill and the stamp is one of our new purchase with purchase stamps from TAC. Love this one- I embossed it on kraft cardstock to make it more elegant. What do you think?? ( Sorry the pic is a bit blurry...)

A quick note

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to give you a quick note to explain why I haven't posted in a while. My husband's father passed away a week and a half ago and we have been dealing with that.. Things are settling back down and hopefully I can get back to creating and posting soon.. thanks for your patience...

Toodles 2

While I had everything out for my card yesterday I decided to make another using one of the other images- the cute little boy bear. I used similar products except the paper is from Brighten my Day. The button and ribbon are ones I had in my stash. What do you think? I'm having fun with this set!!

Toodles

I am meeting a new customer in a little while to give a catalog to and wanted to make a quick little card to include with the catty... I decided to use the set used on the covers- Toodles... love this set!! The card is simple- kraft cardstock, Kaleidascope girlz pattern paper and the stamps... I paper pieced the dress to match the background pattern paper. I colored this cutie with Tombow markers using a blender pen( you just color some ink onto an acrylic block and then go back and pick it up with the blender pen for a softer water color look). I used stickles for the skated and necklace and colored the flower with gelly glaze pens... simple but cute!!! Hope she likes it.......

You make my heart sing!

Just a quick post today to share another card with you. I really love the way this one turned out-it is so colorful and happy! Once again I am using Mabelle Ro's stamp set Dear Friend from Serendipity. I colored this sweet girl with Tombow markers. The flowers and buttons are from the Ava embellisment jar and the fun pattern paper is from Brighten My Day. Hope you like it!!
Happy Fourth to everyone!
