Card for Larry

I love these carp on the Pagoda cartridge and when I found this "scaly" paper I thought I'd see what I could come up with.  Yea, it's a little out there but I like it!  The background paper is from DCWV and is a pool background, the carp are from a mat stack from My Mind's Eye.  I did another large carp inside the card because I loved it so much!  The asian symbol is Harmony which I also stamped on the face of the card.  It's good to stretch now and then.

Mini album for Hillary


Mary at cardztv demo'd a toliet paper roll album around Christmas time.  I thought it looked like fun so here is my version.  I used a paper pack from me and my big ideas that has a tropical feel.  The tags I cut with sweet treats.  It was really fun to make this, made me feel like a kid again!

Card for Zack

March is a busy month!  Here is a card for my nephew, he loves science so I used some old Club Scap paper with a science theme and I cut out the wavy card on the Wild Card cartridge.  I used both liners and did the wave icon twice and stacked the black on some gold to really have it pop.  Inside sentiment from the same club scrap collection.

Card for Kathleen

Simple card for my sister in law.  I used the left overs from my SEI mini-kit for January and Pink Stamper stamps for the sentiment.  The lace was punched with Martha Stewart punches.  It's girly, blingy and pink!  All things Kathleen loves!

Card for Gary

Here is a card for my brother Gary.  Gary is a great poker player so I thought the card theme would be fun for him.  I stamped the cards with some older Club Stamp stamps, cuttlebuged the diamond pattern on to the background and used the cricut stamped cartridge to cut out the letters.  I also glimmer misted the letters since I bought the bottle at CHA and hadn't used it yet.

CHA Rocked!

I had a blast at CHA, I met the Pink Stamper and purchased both her stamp sets and her new DVDs, and I subscribed to SEI's mini-kit and have spent happy hours on a mini-album. I became very intrigued by Cricut Cake (darn my love hate relationship with cake) Now just have to get over the tech hurdles and post some pictures but I'm having a ball and that's all that matters!


Game on!

Best of intentions-harder than it looks!

So I made some cute cards for birthdays but had a camera issue and had to mail them before I could get a picture. Something is starting to tell me that all these ladies that make maintaining a blog look so graceful have more than just their creative talents; they are tech-savvy as well! Okay, I will persevere! I have my ticket to the CHA next week. I'm lucky I'm local. Hopefully that inspires me to get this figured out.




Have a wonderful day!
