Hello, Thanks for stopping by!! :)

Here is my entry for:

Cardz TV Color Challenge #23: red, white, black

This card is an A2 size card
Papers are recollections
I used the swiss dots embossing folder on the black strip of cardstock
I used a Martha Stewart Stamp and black Big and Juicy ink, colored it in with pencils and a white gelly roll pen
Restamped it with VersaMark Dazzle ink in frost and embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it a sheen and cut it out.  It is mounted on a black circle.
Jewels are recollections and ribbon is from the $1 bin at Michaels
Sentiment is a fiskars clear stamp

I really love how it turned out...I hope you enjoy and Thanks for Stopping By!

Baby seahorse

 Challenge #22 

“Baby New Year” Make a card, layout or craft project for a new baby.

Inside

This is an A2 size gate card for a new baby boy or girl.  I left it blank so i could personalize it when I needed it.  I used Create A Critter for the seahorse and all the seaweed.  Papers are from DCWV Nana's Nursery (boy).  I LOVE this paper stack.  I think I will go back and get the one for girls too.  I also saw that she had a kitchen version. Nana has all kinds of good stuff!!  ;)

INSIDE:

Didn't it turn out cute!!!

Here's how I made it:

A2 portrait size card

Papers from Recollections and DCWV

Elegant Edges Mat cut at 3 1/4" from pg 55

Mouse from Happy Hauntings cut @ 4" from pg 57 - His mask was embossed with clear powder.  He is popped up on pop dots.

His pumpkin is real dial size 2" (the one that cut with him was too small to me and I used it on another mouse card.)  I colored it with pencils and used my bone folder to score in some lines to give it shape.

Sentiment from pg 32 of Happy Hauntings @ 1"

Glossy Accents on sentiment, nose, eyes

black doodles around edge

Ribbon is Celebrate IT Halloween

Candy Corn is Jolee's boutique sticker

Inside sentiment done with white gelly roll pen

Buttons from my stash.

Cultivate Joy!

Hello My Friends!  I was able to get another card made today! 

It is finally raining here in TX! And we needed it!  Are yall getting any of this fabulous rain?

I made this card for Mary's color challenge over at Cardz TV.  I don't know why, but color challenges seem to be the hardest ones for me.  It seems like as soon as I'm limited to a certain color, I think of all these great ideas to use anything but the ones I'm supposed to!! haha!  does that happen to anyone else?

Mary picked some hard colors for this challenge!  Royal Blue, Deep Purple, Marigold, and Pale Gray ONLY!  We could use a tiny bit of black and white if we needed to.

The first thing that came to mind for me was Halloween!  Those are great Halloween colors!  So, naturally.....I made a card with flowers on it!  Hey guys...don't ask me how my brain works...it just does what it wants to. But I'm super happy with how it turned out! So, without further ado...

Kitty Birthday!!

Hey guys!!!  I know....It has been FOREVER since I posted!  

 Sorry, things have been crazy!!!  The wedding date is getting closer and closer....and there is still A LOT to do!  I feel a little guilty when I'm making a cutesy card and I know I have a lot of invitations I'm supposed to be making! :)  So.......I just did a really quick one with a cute kitty inspired by the litter of 7 kittens we just took in with the rescue I volunteer for.  You just can't beat cute little fuzzy baby kittens!!!  They make you smile no matter what!
