Coloring with Prismas


Everyone has been coloring with their Copics and Prismas lately. I have some Prismas and had to try them out - see what the fuss is all about. I just bought this darling Stampendous Biker Bee stamp and think it turned out pretty cute!

Baby Girl Joy Fold card



Well, I figure since I've done a few baby boy cards, I better make a baby girl one or two also. This also came from the DCWV Nana's Nursery mat stack. I just love the DCWV paper stacks!!!!

Thinking of you "Joy Fold" card




You can't tell I love this style of card, can you? I used the mat stack from DCWV "Nana's Nursery - Baby Girl" for this card. I decided this would be a perfect "Thinking of You" card.

Craft Show!

Can you believe? I just got invited to show and sell my cards in a local craft show this fall! Wow! I participated in it last year, but never thought they'd call me back! Wow!
Oh my....... I guess I better get busy making lots of cards to sell....... AAACCCKKK!!!
Wish me luck! I think I'll need it!

Baby Boy Joy Fold card



Ok, so I am totally addicted to making these Joy Fold cards. I love them - they're sooo simple and they can be used for any occasion and they're sooo cute!!! HERE's where to find the directions to make them.

Owl Card


My husband needs two cards shaped like owls. He's in the Owl Patrol in his Woodbadge Scout Troop and two of his friends are graduating and getting their Woodbadge beads - this is quite an honor and accomplishment. It took some time and work with DS, but I finally got it to cut they way I hoped. I created this with the Animal Kingdom cartridge. It's nothing fancy....... but it suits his purpose just fine.

Cupcake card


I just love Liquid Applique. You can put it on and heat it immediately or you can let it set overnight and then heat it the next day. Doesn't it give a great accent to the cupcake?

I added a little glitter after heating the LA to give it a little shimmer.

Golf card


A friend asked me to make a special birthday card for her niece who is really into golf. I had sooo much fun making this one and they were all tickled with how it turned out. I used glitter paper for the ball. I cut this one from the Sports Mania cartridge.

It's a Boy card


Here's one of my favorite Boy cards to make. I set this up in Design Studio and cut it all from the New Arrival cartridge. Then I just print off a nice sentiment and put that inside the card. I just love making these special cards to welcome new babies.

2nd Wedding Card


Here's another wedding card I just finished. Again, I used the heart cuttlebug folder and the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge. I just love that cartridge. It is sooo versatile!!! Oh and I just LOVE bling! So I had to add some Diamond Stickles to the cake to make it sparkle!

Stand and Salute!

Oh wow! The Stand and Salute cartridge is SOOOOO awesome! I NEEEEEEED this one!!! Want to see pictures? Well, my friend, Diane (capadia) has it all displayed so nicely on her blog. Click HERE to see pictures!!!

Wedding Card


This card was pretty simple to make once I made up my mind about what I was going to do. I ran the card base through the cuttlebug using the hearts embossing folder (sorry the name escapes me at the moment). I cut a slit and punched a tiny hole to run the ribbon through and tie the bow. Then cut the wine glasses at 2" using Stretch Your Imagination. I matted the rub-on phrase (in brown) "to have & to hold" on white with the same rose background as used on the front of the card. Hope you like! Thanks for looking!
