Altered Notebook

I thought I needed a notebook for Regionals coming up so I covered this 5 X 7 notebook to take in my purse. The paper is SU Shades of Spring DS. I used the new butterfly embosslit and some Certainly Celery ribbon to finish it off.

Card Patterns 48

For this card I used http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/ #48. I started off with Whisper White CS and added some of the new Sending Love DS paper from SU. The sentiment is from the set Well Scripted. I finished it off with Real Red CS and Pretty In Pink ribbon. Enjoy the week and thanks for stopping by.

Regionals Swap Card

Yeah, I just finished all 50 of these cards for the swap at the Ft Collins Regional seminar. The card was time consuming coloring all of the flowers but I am very pleased with the finished product.

Stamping411 - 134 & 135

I should be working on my cards for seminar but thought I needed a little break. On the first one I used the Sending Love Specialty paper along with Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla CS. I used my new Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit with Pretty In Pink CS sprayed with rubbing alcohol and Frost paint. The sentiment came from the stamp set Well Scripted. On the second card I used Shades of Spring Specialty paper with So Saffron and Certainly Celery CS. The sentiment is from Four Square

Lynne's Rag Quilt Purse

I made this purse for Lynne for Christmas. Sorry, Lynne, that it is a few weeks late. I already have my material for my next purse so keep watching..... My new one will be my Valentines purse.

MojoMonday121

Well it's been a long time since I had my Mojo on but once again, France you have inspired me. I flipped the sketch and used Appricot Appeal CS for my base. The DS paper is Nouveau Chic. I also used Sage Shadow CS. My stamp set is Wings of Friendship. I colored the bird and flowers with my markers and then stamped my sentiment in Basic Grey ink. I cut the sentiment out with the 1 1/2" circle punch and then used the scallop circle punch for the next layer. The biggest circle was made by putting together two round tab punches. Enjoy!

Sympathy Card

One of my co-worker's husband passed away last week so I made the card for her to let her know I was thinking of her. I used Baja Breeze CS, ribbon and ink. The stamp sets I used are Beautiful Borders and True Friend. I don't recall the name of the DS paper. Very simple card but I think it turned out nice. Enjoy your day.

1st Rag Purse

Well, I finally got my 1st rag purse made. France, I think I'm hooked and need to make more. Thanks for the inspiration!! These colors are not typical colors for me, but I really like how it turned out.

Jaxen turns 1

I put this card together for Jaxen's 1st birthday. I used Jersey Shore DS paper with Only Orange and Bashful Blue CS. The stamp set is from the Wild About You set.

The More The Merrier

I made this card using the stamp set The More The Merrier and Teeny Tiny Messages. You can't really tell in the picture but I sprayed the white CS with rubbing alcohol mixed with Frost White all purpose ink to give it a shimmer look. I colored the cupcakes with my markers.

Quilt Card

Thanks France for doing your video on this card. I always thought it was much harder to put together than it actually was. I used black CS and then the rest of the paper came from the Hostess level 1 Patterns Pack. I used an embossing folder on the background piece to add a little dimension and I put Craft Chocolate Chip ink on the brad to give it some color. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Messages. I hope you have a wonderful week!

Harley Card

I made this card for a friend of mine. She rides a Harley so I used some of my Harley paper to design her card. It was a hit, she loved it!

More cards

These are the other color combinations I came up with for my co-worker's Christmas gifts. I hope they liked them

For Christmas I am making my

papers. I hope they enjoy them. Thanks, France, for teaching me how to make the box and for the card ideas.

Chris' card

I made this card for my son's 25th birthday. I used http://cardpatterns.blogspot.com/ #44 for my layout. The stamp set is a retired SU set called Pines. I used Manchester DS paper, Very Vanilla CS and Always Artichoke CS with Close to Cocoa ink. I love the moose and thought it was a nice masculine card.

MojoMonday week 114

I was feeling creative tonight so I also did Mojo week 114. This paper is the Christmas Cocoa and I just love it. I used my scallop border punch on the top layers and the greeting is from the Christmas Punch stamp set which I used Real Red ink for.

MojoMonday week 113

This is my take on Mojo Monday week 113. It seems like forever since I have participated using Mojo. The paper is DS Merry Moments. I used Garden Green with the Patterned Pines stamp set. You can't tell in the picture, but I put some glitter on the trees. The be merry is from the Warm Words stamp set. Enjoy the week!

Thanksgiving Card

Well, here it is the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving and this card is still sitting at my house. I really did have good intentions on getting cards out this year. Guess I will work on sending Christmas cards instead = ) I got this idea from a card France did, thanks France. It's not traditional Thanksgiving colors but I was pleased with how it turned out.

Snowflake card

I'm not sure where I got this idea, but it was using the reverse masking technique. I originally learned this technique in my Geek class, thanks France!!
