Always By My Side..

I made this as a Father's Day card for my husband. I love puns, and this set is full of them - so that makes it extra fun to work with.

Stamp set: Papertrey Ink On My Couch

Fly Away!

I made this card for my husband's birthday. He is nuts about airplanes, so this was the perfect stamp set for me to own - it will get plenty of use!!! (Isn't that a fun excuse to give your husband while placing a craft order? I thought so!!!)

Stamp set: Papertrey Ink Fly Away

My Fabulous Friend!!!

These were some "thank you" cards that I made awhile back. This is a fun set to work with - Friends 'Til the End from Papertrey Ink. It's an easy set to work with because it looks good colored or left just outlined.

Look Ma! No Layers!!!!

This was a card I made awhile back for the Paper Pack (our local swap group). Our assignment was to make a card with no layers. I love the fabriano note cards and envelopes - they are just the perfect size and the texture of the paper is to die for!!! I got mine here at Star Lit Studio - a fun online store that I drool over frequently!!!

The stamp that I used is from Stampendous called Dandie Trio. It reminds me of my oldest daughter!! Not sure why, but dandelions do!!! I used my copics and airbrushed the color on the flower and added a little glitter.

Hay, Chick!

I bought some new stamps last week and over the weekend I had a little time to work with them!!! Anna Wright's Crazy for Chickens paired with Cosmo Cricket's Garden Variety Mini deck was a perfect fit!!!! It was a fun card to make - just came together really easily - that doesn't usually happen for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for looking!!!

P.S. I think I've finally gotten my sewing machine to work! There was a needle stuck underneath the pressor foot! No wonder I was breaking so many needles!!!!

Notebooks!

I was lucky enough to receive some of the bounty of my parents and my sister's gardens this year (okay they share with me every year!) As I sat with them at the kichen table listening to the talk of what kind of seeds they bought, how well the garden produced, etc. I thought "Hey, I could make them gardening journals!" So I did!!!

I used the Cosmo Cricket's Garden Variety paper and Stamping Bella's Veggie Bella and Flowah Bella stamps for the covers! A perfect fit for this project!!!

Heart to Heart Card Drive!

This card is for Carolyn King's Heart to Heart blog post. She has organized a huge card drive for those special people that care for alzheimer patients. These caregivers are the most loving, giving people and deserve our sincere "Thank You!" Check out this link for details.

I had fun making this card - the challenge was to use recycled materials. I have seen blog posts on using an old book to make your own flower embellishments - so I bought an old book from Goodwill and made the flowers for this card! It was so much fun!!!

I had also seen this blog post from Michelle Wooderson. I loved how she used a brown paper bag as an envelope! So I cased that idea from her.

Thanks for looking!!!

PS- there is still time to play! Won't you come join the fun?
