I covered this magnetic board with dsp Sweet Pea and added a Rose Red border punched with the new scallop border punch from SU. I opted to display my movers and shapers for the big shot on this board. Thanks for the inspiration France.

I was thinking about my Mom today and thought she needed a pick-me-up after her eye surgery. I used http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/ week 126 sketch for this card. I used Kraft CS for the base and a scrap of White, the rest of the paper is from the new Sweet Pea paper pack. I even added one of the sweet pea felt flowers for some dimension. Hope your week is great!

Pumpkin Patch


I happened upon a new sketch challenge at http://soul-scrappers.ning.com/photo/albums/sc3-sketch-challenge. I didn't get these pages done in time to post for the contest but I am pleased with how they turned out. I used Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, So Saffron and Chocolate Chip card stock with Sweet Pea DS paper. I used the SU scallop corner and border punch along with all 3 oval punches from SU. A little bit of Chocolate Chip ribbon finishes it off.

Panty Card

I saw this card from France and fell in love. I used the Bride paper and colored it with Lovely Lilac. I will surprise my husband tomorrow for Valentine's Day with this card.



Oliver turns 5


Oliver has always loved trains so for his 5th birthday I made this card for him. I used the Choo Choo stamp set with the Right on Track wheel. The paper is from the Rainbow Sherbert DS paper.

Slider Card


I saw a card like this at France's and fell in love with it. I used the Very Vintage wheel with white craft in on Chocolate Chip CS. I used Taken with Teal and Orchard Opulence CS for my contrast colors. I used the Vintage Vouge stamp set. I was supposed to post it last night but didn't quite get it done. Hope you like it.

Birthday Wishes


I cased this card from Beth Daniels. I love the bright colors from DS Pink Flamingo paper. I added a little Real Red CS and used the new scallop corner and border punch from SU. I colored the white organza ribbon with Cameo Coral ink. Thanks for the technique on coloring ribbon, Steph.

IA114

I used http://gretchenbarron.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/12/inspiration-in-action-weekend-sketch-challenge-ia114.html for this card. I am trying to do my last minute Valentine's. This one was quick and easy using So Saffron CS and Jackpot DS papers. I used the new scallop border punch in the Sale-A-Bration catalog and the With All My Heart stamp set. I used real read and so saffron inks. I really like the new textured folder in the Occasions Mini. It embosses really well.

Friday Sketchers #88

For this card I used http://fridaysketchersblog.blogspot.com/. I used Pretty In Pink CS with Sending Love DS paper. I used the stamp sets I {heart} Hearts and Teeny Tiny Wishes. The new satin Pretty In Pink ribbon finishes it off.

Jaxen's Valentine


I love this little turtle so turned him into a Valentine for my Grandson. I tried my hand with the new SU border and corner punch and thought my square turned out pretty good. I used the watercolor crayons for the turtle and the I {heart} Hearts stamp set. The turtle is from Very Thankful.

Easter Cards

I decided to make a couple of Easter cards early which is good for me since I haven't even made all of my Valentine cards yet. These cards were made with Tea Party paper from SU. Iused the stamp sets A Good Egg and Well Scripted. I love the new Beautiful Wings embosslit so I used some of the butterflies on one of the cards.


3D Swap

Iparticipated in a 3D swap at the regional seminar in Ft. Collins. This was my swap item that I made. I used scallop chipboard squares covered with craft chocolate chip ink. I then decorated with Sending Love DS paper from SU. I love this paper. The little butterflies are from the new SU Beautiful Wings Embosslit. I tied the two squares together with the white organza ribbon. The front side was stenciled with stencil paste and one of the decor templates.
