2011-11-16T23:04:00.003-05:00

Phew!! I made it just in time! :) Glad I got to make a card for this weeks sketch!!!

This card is pretty simple. Colored in the image with my copics, and popped her up on the card.

I wanted to use a lot of Bling! And boy did I!!!! I have so much bling that I need to use up!!

I love this color Blue by AMuse! And I love blue and black together! Very pretty!! I embossed the Blue CS. Then tied some black ribbon around it. Looks so nice.

For the happy birthday sentiment I used SRM stickers! I Love these stickers!!!

I switched the card around a bit, and laid the Sketch on it's side. Hope Tracy doesn't mind ;) hehe.

I used my super adorable Stamp by "Outlines" This is a great company!! Isn't this Witchy dog adorable!!!! I just love this image!
I colored it in with my copics of course! And all the bubbles are glittered up, hard to see in the photo. I also airbrushed green around it!
Cut him out with my spellbinders! and popped him up on the card. I found some great halloween paper that I had stored away!

2011-03-16T21:23:00.003-04:00

Hooray!!! I actually had time to get crafty for a few hours!!! :) I have been super busy working, and sadly my crafty things have been collecting dust!!! Gasp!! I know!! It's aweful!!!

Soooo I finally sat myself down and made a card for Tracy's awesome sketch! :)

I used this adorable hero arts bunny image!! I just love it!!
The Flower border is by Great Impressions, so cute!!

I used my copics to color in the flowers and bunny.

Used my Oval Nesties for the image, and some shimmery pink card stock, and some dark purple behind it.

I used my new Embossing folder, and inked it up with some light pink.

I wanted to add some Ribbon, but didn't want a bow, so I made two tags :) I love how it came out!

Thank you so much for looking!! And thank you to all of my followers!! I really appreciate it!!! :)

2011-03-01T22:10:00.002-05:00

Hey Bloggers!!
I just made this adorable birthday card tonight! And I just love how it came out!!! I have been having a mind block lately on crafting, and have been getting so frustrated because I can't think of any new designs or layouts for my cards. I think my mojo is slowly coming back.
Where I travel so much for my pet sitting I haven't been making many cards lately, and I think it's really bumming me out. So I have some free time this week!!! yay!!

I used my Inky Antics stamp! I love love love this image!!! Too cute!! The sentiment is also inky antics!
The paper is sooooooo adorable!! I just Love it!! It is doodlebug designs. isn't it so pretty!! And it's two sided, the other side is the same color but striped! I can't get enough of this paper!!!
I used my mini sewing machine and sewed inside all the papers!! I love it!

I had some flower stickers laying around, I've had them for years!!! About time I used them right??!! LOL

Thank you for looking!!! Have a great week!!!

Tracy's Sketchy thursday #118

2011-02-20T20:11:00.002-05:00

YAY!!! Another Sketchy Thursday!!! I've been slacking soooo badly!!! Shame on me! LOL I have been super busy pet sitting and dog walking and just life all together! :) I haven't had much time to be crafty lately. I try to make a card every chance I get.
I've been knitting alot more lately, it's nice to take a break sometimes from one craft and do another craft :) Plus it's alot easier to take my knitting with me while traveling, rather than taking my millions of card crafty things LOL!!

Anyways,
I made this adorable dog card today, She is an Inky Antics stamp. I love this company so much!! I colored her in with my Copics! and glittered up her little bow.
The sentiment is also inky antics.

I didn't get a chance to buy the new spellbinders scallop circle die, with the holes punched all around, so I just used my crop-a-dile and punched my own holes all around!! :) Super clever of me, but I'm sure someone else has already done that, years ago probably! haha!

So I put ribbon through all the holes, super cute! And tied a bow!

I also paper peirced around the card, I did it free hand, so the lines are not perfect ;) but not bad either LOL!

Thank you so much for looking!!!

Few projects I've done here and there

2011-01-27T21:23:00.004-05:00

I made this really cool book mark the other day, i've been wanting to play around with my alcohol inks. I just love them!! And I love this gorgeous memory box butterfly stamp!

I made a sympathy card for my mom's friend. I didn't want it to be too depressing looking. But I wanted it to be sweet and uplifting.
I just love the colors blue, brown and white together. The tree leaves are glittered, but you can't see it in the picture. :( But it's very pretty!!

Last but certainly not least! I made a cute thank you card for an awesome neighbor!!! I was pet sitting at a new house a couple of weeks ago, and there was a snow storm, soooooo the snow blower stopped running for me :( But this gentleman came over from next door and used his snow blower to get me out!!!! So awesome!!! He was so sweet to do that!! So I gave him this adorable snowy card using a MFT, PI image! He is so cute!! I have a big snowflake background stamp that I used for the background of the card, stamped in pearlescent blue ink. I put a Dunkin Donuts GC inside :)

Thank you so much for looking!!!

Tracy's Sketch # 115

2011-01-27T21:01:00.002-05:00

WOW!! I am so glad to have been able to make a card for Tracy's Sketchy Thursday!!! It's been wayyy to long!! Life just gets too busy and crazy sometimes!! LOL!!

I needed to make a Thank you card and I thought this sketch would be perfect!!! I made a smaller card rather than a 5x5 card. I think it came out so cute. This card is 5x4.25

I used my most favorite house mouse stamp. Thank you Sew much stamp! It is sooooo adorable!! And I love the sentiment!! I stamped the Sentiment inside the card. I colored the mice in with my copics! And then cut them out and used pop dots to make them pop off the card.

I used some of DCVW card stock, I have a few of there mini paper packs and wanted to use them up. I used some paper from the nana's kitchen and the other from the whimsey pack.

I used some black CS behind the paper, makes it really pop out! I used some black polka dot ribbon down the side, I just love this ribbon so much!!!!

I added some major bling on the top, It looks pretty neat!!

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

Glenda's Random Amusing challenge #100!!!!

WOOOHOOOO For Glenda!!!! So awesome to have done 100 challenges!!!! So exciting!!!!

The Challenge is to use RED on our card! So obviously I think of Valentine cards!!!!!

I used this adorable house mouse image! I just love this image! So cute!! I colored it in with my copics, cut it out with my Nestabilities, and inked around the edges.

So weird, I went to Michael's craft store today to use a coupon, and I bought the Martha Stewart Heart Border Punch!! I just LOVE IT!!!! So awesome!!!

Of course I added some bling!!!

The sentiment is from a pure innocence stamp set. I thought this fit the card perfectly!

Thank you for looking!!!!

2011-01-17T09:08:00.002-05:00

I just love Stamp TV's Spotlight challenge this week!! This is my first time attempting their challenge!! I am so excited to finally participate!!!

The color challenge this week was Red Hot, Sweet Corn, Fresh Asparagus/ or Turquiose Sea.

I chose the second set of colors, red hot, sweet corn and turquiose sea.

I thought these colors would be great for a boy card!! I always have the hardest time making a boy/man card. So this gave me a chance to make one!!! And I love how it came out!!

The image is Penny Black! I think this stamp is soooo cute!!
I embossed the image and colored it in with watercolor pencils.

Sketchy Thursday!!!! 88!!

2010-06-18T21:51:00.003-04:00

Well Hello again!!!! LOL!! I finally got my act together and did another Sketchy Thursday!!! WOOHOOO!!!

I have just been so crazy busy, pet sitting, niece sitting, making cards like crazy for a craft fair I am doing, I just completely neglected Sketchy thursdays!!!! Yikes!!

Well hopefully I will start doing them more now!! ;)

I made this card for my craft fair. It came out cute, I'm still not too sure about it.....?

I used my micro glitter and peel off's for the cake! It has mens ties on it!! how cool is that!! I need to start making cards for men/boys. I never make them, they are so hard to do sometimes. Especially when I don't have manly paper or embellishments!! LOL

I have been wanting to do these cake peel off's I got, and glitter the heck out of them!! I just have so much fun doing these!!! They are super easy and come out gorgeous!!!

I used regular bright green paper, and then for the funky orange rectangles. I used my nesties dies to cut them out. They were white, and then I airbrushed them yellow and orange!!! I think they came out awesome!! I didn't have any bright orange paper, so I made my own!!! LOL!! I just love airbrushing!! So much fun!!

Then of course I needed to add some bling, it's black, so it's manly!! LOL

Thank you so much for looking! feels great to be back!!!!

Amuse Thank you challenge!

2010-05-30T23:11:00.002-04:00

I made this adorable card for the Amuse Thank you challenge! I think it came out so cute!!

I used the A Muse clear stiched set with the birds. I just love this set! And the A Muse thank you sentiment. I colored in the birds with my copics.

The cloud paper is A Muse! I am totally inlove with this paper!!! Sooo awesome!!

I added some grass strips that I had laying around, haha! And used my martha Stewart Fence Punch. I love love love this punch!! (Have you seen her new one??!! I gotta have it!!!!)

Sorry for the crooked picture, was in a rush taking it ;)

Thank you for looking!!!

Airbrushing!!!

2010-05-26T13:41:00.002-04:00

WOW!!!! So so sorry I haven't posted anything on here in so long!! I've just been crazy busy with life!! LOL!! But I am back!!! yay!!

Okay, I am addicted to my little airbrushing system for my copic markers!! LOL!! I just love it!!! There are so many endless possibilities with it!!! It's amazing!!!

Sooooo, I found some old stencils that i have had forever, and never really used them, So I finally have a reason to use them!! LOL

I have been having a hard time doing "Simple" cards, I just love to keep adding, adding and adding things to my cards LOL. I can never do just simple, quick and easy cards! I've been coming up with some ideas, to try and do quick cards.

The stencil sheet I found has all kinds of summery things on it, like the sun, and waves, and fish for the ocean. It's really cute!! And once I saw the sun on the stencil I was in love!! haha! Okay I know I'm crazy, this heat is getting to me, blah....

Anywho, I used golden yellow and honey on my sun, and then added some waves on the bottom to make the ocean. I used robins egg blue, and mint green on the ocean. Then I wanted to add clouds, so I air brushed them too!! LOL I used robins egg blue again, for the clouds.

The only thing I stamped was the sentiment, by A Muse!!

Hope you like it!!!

Thank you for looking!!!!

Sketchy Thursday #82!!!

2010-05-12T09:15:00.002-04:00

WOOOHOOOO!! I got to play along again!!! I've had the craziest couple of weeks!! But now I am finally getting crafty again!!! yay!!

I just absolutely love this Sketch challenge this week!! So amazing!!

I had to make a couple of Graduation cards, and wanted to do something really different, so I thought this Sketch would be perfect!

I used my cute Amuse stamp Dandilion, I wanted to try and keep the card pretty simple. I used my water brush on the stamped image to give it a water color look, I just love this!!
I had a borders clear stamp set, and used one on the three strips of white paper.

I used my white gel pen for the outline around the card, think that made it all pop!

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

Stars and Stamps card challenge #13

2010-04-24T23:11:00.003-04:00

I joined this amazing group on Facebook Called: Operation Write Home! And it's an amazing group, where people from all over the world can make cards that will be sent to the soldiers overseas!! The cards are made to be sent to the soldiers, but the cards are blank inside so that the Soldiers can send these handmade cards to their families!! Isn't that an awesome Idea!!!! I just love it!!! To be able to make cards for the soldiers, so that they can stay in touch with their families, and to be able to send gorgeous cards is such an awesome feeling!!!! It's the least we can do for our Hero's!!!

So here is my take on Sketch Challenge #13! This is my first time joining their challenges!! It was tons of fun!!

The glittery puff ball in the top corner is by Memory Box! I used a glue pen all over it and added some gorgeous glitter!!

I used my Slice Machine to cut out some cute letters! I wanted to make a simple "HELLO" card!
I inked up the edges of the letters with vintage photo ink, by tim holtz. Love this ink!!

I added some cute Prisma flowers to the bottom corner, and used my slice again for that cute brown swirly design! Love it!!

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

Sketchy Thursday #78!!

2010-04-11T22:25:00.002-04:00

WOOHOO!! I was able to play along this week!!! yay!!!

I Took Tracy's Idea about the Sentiment being the main image on the card!

My sister bought me this sentiment for my Birthday, and I haven't used it yet!! I just LOVE IT!!! It's so perfect for my family!!! hahah!!!

It's a simple card, I used my Nesties for the sentiment.
I added some buttons and Prima flowers! Gotta love em!!
I stamped a funky design on the bottom and covered it with pearls!

Thanks for looking!!

Micro Glitter!!!!

2010-04-11T22:01:00.005-04:00

OMG!!!! I took the most amazing card class at my LSS yesterday!! The instructor introduced us to Micro Glitter!! Just when I thought Glitter couldn't get any more amazing!!!! LOL!!

We used these amazing "Peel Off's" Stickers! They are so pretty!! I will post the cards we made in class in a seperate post.
This card I made at home for my cousin who is graduating College!! Hooray!

I used this amazing stuff called "Be Creative Tape" This Tape comes in sheets, and you can cut it to any size or shape you want!! I love it!
Once you put it on your card to where you want it, you just pour the glitter all over it and BAM!! Glittered paper!!! LOL
There are endless possibilities with this Tape!!

Anywho! I covered the two flaps on the gate fold card with this tape, and glittered both of them with different colors! so pretty!

Then I peeled off the outline of a butterfly and colored it in with my water brush and Jelly roll pens!!! This is another amazing way to color images that we learned in the class!!!
We used the Metallic jelly roll pens, we colored a little bit onto a plastic surface, then used the water brush to mix it up a tiny bit and get the color onto your brush, then color part of the image. When it's all dry it has a gorgeous Metallic shine to it!

Thank you for reading all of this!!! LOL!!

Doggy card!!

2010-04-11T21:42:00.003-04:00

I made a card for someone that had to put their dog down last week. I never really new the owners, but I walk by their house Monday through Friday's and their dog (A chocolate Lab) was almost always outside, and would come over and greet me and Phoebe. ( Phoebe is the dog I walk) She was the sweetest dog ever, and was always so happy to come and see us.
It was a shock to me that they had to put her down, I think she was 13 or 14. But she always seemed so happy and fairly healthy. So sad!

So I made up this little card for them and put it in their mailbox when I walked by.

The image is by Inky Antic's, I am so inlove with this company!!

I did a gate fold card! I am really in a Gate fold card kick right now!! LOL I love them!!

I added some adorable paw print paper, and used scallop circles around the image, and colored in the doggy with my copics. Luckily I had some paw print ribbon to add to it!

I stamped on the inside of it with my most favorite saying "Pets leave Paw prints on our hearts"

Thank you so much for looking!!!

Spingy Card!!!

2010-03-30T10:40:00.004-04:00

I was able to get one more card done today before I go out in this crummy rain to walk dogs!
I am really in the Springy/Easter mood, so I wanted to make a really cute spring theme card with my A muse stamps!

I cut out the bunny and the chick and popped them up on the card, I used green glitter paper on the bottom and then cut strips of green ribbon and tried to make them look like blades of grass, I think it came out ok, but not quite what I wanted.

All the images are A muse! Even the clouds! I cut them out and popped them out and I glittered them! They look so cute! I used a light blue Copic marker to color the sky very lighty.

The sentiment is also A Muse! Can you tell I love A Muse??!!! hehehe!!

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

sketchy Thurs #76: second card!!

2010-03-30T09:25:00.003-04:00

WOOOOOHOOOO!! I made another card last night before going to bed, I was determined to make another card, plus I wasn't very sleepy, so I wanted to use my time well!! LOL!!

This is another Inky antics stamp I bought!! OMG!!! How adorable is this shaggy doggy!!!! I just love love love him!!! Well duh, you know me! I'm a pet sitter and dog walker, how can I not buy this stamp!!!!!? hehehehe!!

I colored him in with my copics, I didn't want to color him in too dark, so I used milky white at first then use Bareley beige, and I think he came out super cute!! For his tongue I used Lipstick Red, and then I put diamond Glaze on his tongue, to make it look shiny, like drool!! LOL! It came out awesome!!! He really looks ready to give a big sloppy kiss!! haha!!

I used some spiral stickers that I have had forever! I thought they would look cute on this card. And another flower ;)

I used a MS border punch! I just love this one, it is my fav so far! I haven't bought any punches from MS in a while, so I haven't seen any new ones to drool over yet! LOL

The sentiment is also Inky antics, I just LOVE IT!!!!
The gingham paper is A Muse!

Thank you sooooo much for looking!!!!

Sketchy Thursday #76!!!

2010-03-29T21:27:00.002-04:00

Another awesome Sketch by Tracy on her awesome blog: www.eatsleepstamp.typepad.com

I had tons of fun with this card!! I was bad again and bought some new stamps this weekend at my LSS. Inky Antics came out with some totally adorable stamps! Dogs and Cats!! I couldn't help myself!!!!

This cat Image is just too cute!!! The sentiment that went with it is: "Thought you could use a lift!" I just had to have them!!
I can also use it for a birthday stamp or any celebration!!

I colored in the cutie with my copics of course! I used to have an orange cat, so I colored him orange/yellowish.

I used my awesome Nesties for the oval and scallop oval.
I added pink pearls all around the oval, I think it came out super cute!!

I paper pieced the big balloon and popped it out.
I added some adorable flowers on the card, I went through my sticker stash, and WOW! I have so many flower stickers it's insane!! LOL!! So I gotta use them up!! Perfect timing!!

I also did a little sewing around the edges.

Thank you soooo much for looking!!!!

Memory Box card class!!

2010-03-28T10:09:00.008-04:00

Hello all!!

I took a memory box card class at my LSS yesterday! It was tons of fun!!! The teacher was awesome!! He was so nice and very funny!!

Thought I would share with you the cards we made!! They came out so pretty!! i just love the way we did them!!

The first flower card is very different, we used tombow markers to color the edges of the flower, and the stems. Then we stamped the image, and then used a water brush to bring the colors into the center of the flower, and it gave a gorgeous water color look!! I just love it!!!!

The second card is so awesome! The row of trees are so adorable! I believe we called it the lolipop stamp LOL. It's so much fun to color in and put gorgeous glitter on it!! They look amazing!

The third card we used this gorgeous tree stamp, the little bird in the tree is a seperate stamp, it looks so pretty in the tree.
This card is so simple, we used a pretty lilac ink to stamp the tree, and added some bling in the tree. It's really a great card!

The fourth card is another amazing card, this image is two seperate stamps, the bird on the branch is one image, and all the words is another stamp. We stamped the words first, then the bird. We did the same technique with this image as we did the first flower card, we used the water brush on the bird to give it a water color effect. The flower border around the card is another Memory box image, it's so pretty.

The fifth card is really adorable, we used a dandi lion puff ball stamp, we used the tombow markers for the stem, the teacher showed us how to use the brush part of the marker to make stems, or grass. Really a great idea!
Then we stamped the puff ball on top, and this stamp also had a tiny star image on the side of it, so there are two stamps on one. I love that!!
The picture does this card no justice at all!! The puff ball is all glittered up!!! I just love it!!!

Thank you for reading all of this!!! Hope you enjoy the cards!!!

Added some pearls on the side, and on her shoes. I think they are cute!!

Thank you sooooo much for looking!!!

This is my first time sewing on a card, so be gentle with the comments LOL!!!! I tried to do straight lines, but they got a little curvy in some spots LOL! Still getting used to sewing on paper, which is really, very easy! And fun!!!!

I used up some scrap papers I had,and again used black!! Which I love!!!!

The image is by Stamping Bella, Harriet (LuLu collection) I just love this image, it reminds me of Tim Burton Movies, which I absolutely LOVE!!!! I just love this style. I hope to find some more!!

I colored her in with Copics, not alot of coloring to do, which is nice!! ;)

I added a strip of Bling to the bottom, and an Amazing Bow on the top!! That I made with my new "Bow Easy" I bought it on the Gina K. website!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! I am sooo bad at making bows!! And this thing is a life saver!!! yay!!!!

Sketchy Thursday #73!!!

2010-03-05T11:12:00.002-05:00

YAY!!! I got a card done for Sketchy Thursday!!! woohoo!

I was really inspired by Sketchy Thursday's Winner "Terry" She used black on her card, and I always love how black looks on cards, but I never think to do it on my cards. So i finally got out my black card stock and used it!!! woohoo!!

I bought a new stamp at my LSS, They got a whole new line of stamps in by this company called Magnolia rubber stamps. They are the cutest stamps ever!!! I was so excited to see them at the store. There were so many to choose from, but this stamp really stood out for me. I'm sure I'll be back there to get another one, or two hehehe!!

I colored her in with copics, and used my atyou spica glitter pen, on the umbrella and water puddle, it's very hard to see in the picture.

I used some Amuse paper, and some cloud paper I have had forever! Finally used some of it!! hehe!! And black paper! And added some pearls!

Thank you so much for looking!!!

They are in floating frames, so I'm sorry about the glare, I forgot to take pic's before putting them in the frames! "DUH" on my part LOL!!!

We also got to use a brand new, not even released in stores yet, Tim Holtz flower die, that is for Sizzix!!! it is awesome!!! And we got to use some new distress ink colors by Tim Holtz. They are soooo pretty!! Can't wait til they come out!!

After the roses were put together, we assembled everything onto a little canvas that we painted before we made the roses.

Hello everyone!!!

Well I Finally moved into the new house!!! It is so wonderful!! I love it here!! It has been crazy hectic around here, moving boxes everywhere and unpacking what I can. The movers were great with all of our things, they were so fast and very nice!
Hopefully by this Sunday I should be more organized and have everything in it's place, and then be able to start making cards again!!!!
I havent made a card in almost 3 weeks!!!!! Thats a sin!!!!! LOL I am getting so antsy to start getting crafty again!!!

I was able to take a crafty class at my LSS, It was an artsy, drawing/doodling type class. The class was called, Zentangles. This type of art is sooooooo amazing!!!! I just love love love it!!!!!!!! I am so amazed at how much fun zentangles is and how relaxing it is, and also it is so much easier to do than it looks.

Here are some pictures of the Zentangles I did, This is all hand drawn. I learned 8 different patterns to draw, There are more classes that i am going to try and take, and learn more patterns. I just love it!!! if you want to learn more about Zentangles, they have a website all about it. www.zentangle.com Go there and take a look, you just might fall inlove with what you see!!!!!!

My Christmas cards/ Amuse Challenge Holiday cards!

2009-12-19T19:29:00.004-05:00

YAY I had time to post my christmas cards!!! WOOHOO!!!

I made these cards for all of my pet sitting and dog walking customers!
I had this idea to use the Amuse stamps of course!!! hehe! And I really wanted to use the dog Spot, and have him wearing the tiny santa hat! Too cute!!

so this is what I came up with, I did something simple, so that it would be easy to make 30+ of them lol. I used up some of my christmas paper that I have had for 2 years, one of those paper packs. I am not buying those paper packs again, too much paper, and I never get to use hardly any of it LOL.

Thank you so much for looking!!! And I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a happy New Years!!!!!

Men/boy card swap!!

2009-12-11T01:02:00.006-05:00

WHOAAAA I actually had time to make more cards, actually I didn't have a choice LOL!!! I signed up to do a card swap on the Amuse art stamps website, and the swap was to make manly cards or boy cards. They could be anything, birthday, hello, ect...
Let me tell ya, men/boy cards are not easy!!!! LOL I had to really think about what I was going to do, and figure out a certain layout for them.

I signed up for 2 spots in the swap, so I had to make 2 cards, 5 times each. Not too bad.

The first card I made was a little challenging, I knew I wanted to use the Pirate stamp by Amuse. I just wasn't sure how I was going to do the layout. I remembered on my Slice machine, I had a die cut of the Skull, so I knew right away I wanted to add that onto the card. I also had the word bubble on my Slice, So I figured I would use that to put the Sentiment in. Kinda cute!!! hehe! I also put 3 black buttons on the card, it's kinda hard to see in the pic.

The second Card I wanted to use the Amuse bomb, and You are Da Bomb sentiment. I really like these stamps, but never get the chance to use them.
I think this card came out awesome, I like the black and grey strips in the middle, and the inverted scallop circles, not too girly LOL. I used amuse Circles for the backround. I stamped the Sentiment on the inside of the card.

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

HOORAY!!!!!!!! A Christmas card!!

2009-12-09T00:54:00.002-05:00

WOW!!!! I Finally made a card!!!! It's been like over 2 weeks!!!!! I can't believe I went that long without making a card!!! I'm not going to let that happen again!!! LOL!!!

SO, Here is a christmas card I made, The image is Memory Box, and so is the paper and sentiment!! I just love this christmas tree, super adorable. I just colored some of the swirls with red and green, and the clear ones I put icicle stickles on them, they came out really cute!!
I used my Nesties die to put the tree in, and I used a light lime green chalk around the tree, thought that would be pretty.
I added two snowflake brads to the card!
I just love love love this memory box sentiment!! sooooo cute!!!

Thank you sooooo much for looking!!!!

YAY!!!! I did another sketch for Tracy's challenge!!! I missed out on last weeks sketch, I was so bummed. I haven't made a card for over a week!!!! I've just been crazy busy!! I am happy to be back, for a while.... lol.

This card came out cute, I used the Amuse stamp Squirrel with gift. This image is sooo cute!
I used my new cuddle bug embossing folder, the candy cane stripes! I love it!!!! I inked it up with some red ink and it came out super cute!!!
The green paper with the hollyberries on it is memory box paper. I used rickrack ribbon down the middle.
I figured I would add a couple of snowflakes on there.
I also used a nesties die to put the squirrel image on. I do love this nesties shape, it's awesome!!

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

Lots and Lots of x-mas/winter cards!!!!

2009-11-08T21:39:00.003-05:00

Glenda's Random Amusing Challenge #43!!!

2009-10-21T22:10:00.001-04:00

YAY!!! I finally made a card for one of Glenda's Challenges on http://www.paperssissorsrocks.blogspot.com/.

Glenda is always doing such fun challenges, but I never seem to get around to doing one, until now!!!! yay!!!

For this weeks challenge we were to "CASE" a card made by one of Amuses talented girls!! There are soooo many gorgeous cards to choose from, it was hard to choose.

I chose to "CASE" Lexi's card. Her card is posted on her blog: http://www.confetti.typepad.com/ It is such a pretty card, using some of Amuse's new card stock and stamps.

I changed the look a little bit, because I don't have the new flower Amuse stamp she used. So I thought of something a little different. But I kept all of the same colors and I used the same sentiment, and some pearls over the sentiment. I think this card came out super cute!!! I'm pretty proud of myself for making this card!! I'm getting better at cutting out images and paper piecing, I love it!!

The green leaves on the flowers are popped up by using 3D dots, I thought it was a cute idea to pop them out, so that they look like they are hanging over the fence.

All the stamps I used are by Amuse, and all of the paper is Amuse!

Thank you so very much for looking!!!!!

Amuse Challenge #9: Octoberfest!!!!

2009-10-19T15:51:00.000-04:00

I used tons of great things on this card!!!! Most of them new!!! I went on a Scrapbooking bus trip, we went to 3 different stores all over Massachusetts, and we had a BLAST!!!! I know I did! And I got to spend ALOT of MULA!!!! (money) hehehe!!!!

I used my new Amuse stamp: Pumpkin mouse.

The sentiment Trick or Treat is by Savvy stamps.

I bought some new Nesties dies!! The Orange scallop circle is one of the new dies I bought. I love it sooooo much!!

I also finally used my Sizzix Cobweb die. It is just the cutest thing!!

Of course I had to use my MS Drippy Goo punch!! I love it!!

Thank you so much for looking!!!!

Pet loss cards

I made a couple of pet loss cards for people who just lost their beloved pets. 1 person lost a dog, and the other lost 2 of her cats. I am a Huge!!! Pet person, and I do petsitting and dog walking for people, so I know how hard it can be to lose a pet. I always try to make different cards for each person, to try and brighten their day.

May those pets Rest in Peace over the rainbow bridge!
