Sweet Sarah

An online friend of mine has been having a hard time lately. I thought this image would make a great Thinking of You card for her. I found this digi image online at www.coloring-book.info isn't she just darling?

I've also started using my Core'dinations paper more lately and embossed this piece with hearts and then sanded it to bring out the lighter core. Then I added some bling with the clear flowers. I hope it brightens her day.

Birthday Cake

This image was so fun to color. I'm sending this card to my niece for her birthday. In addition to using my Copics to color this image, I also added some sparkle by using my Spica pens.

Doggone Great Birthday

I created this card for my brother for his birthday. It was the first time I used my Nestabilities and I love it!!! Wow was that ever easy! I also love playing with my copics - they are so smooth to color and blend with and I love the look they give to the final product.

Oh Happy Day!

I had so much fun at a crop this last weekend! I sat and colored with my Copics. This is one of the images I colored. It just looks like a fun Spring Day! And I thought in this dreary long winter, now was the perfect time to create and send this card. I used Glossy Accents on the water and splashes and I added some sparkle with my Spica At You pens. Unfortunately I did a very poor job of saving my digi images and am unsure as to where or who this image came from. If you know, please tell me and I will certainly give credit where due.

Pop-Up Flower Card

I saw the neatest video the other day on a friend's blog - you can see it HERE. It inspired me to make a few changes and create this card. I dragged the acetate across my staz-on ink pad to color the flower stems. I think I'll give Copics a try to see how fast they dry. The Staz-on took almost two hours to dry and I only colored one side of the acetate. I used self-adhesive cardstock to create the flowers. I want to give Core'dinations a try next time so you don't see the white core. And I think I will try a flimsier acetate so the flowers wiggle when you open the card. It sure was a simple card to make! And I love the finished product!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My word for 2010: Content. I am going to be content with what I have. So...... let's get started using it all and crafting!!!

Vinyl Wall Art

This is a phrase I found in the Current catalog. I wanted to make it for my sister above her breakfast bar. I cut it with Lyrical Letters at 3 1/4", 3 3/4", and 4 3/4". The chocolate vinyl looks perfect on her goldenrod walls. She absolutely LOVES it! Like I had any doubts!!!
