Hello There Little Bee, Where is your Honey Tree

I used Stampin' Up's A Little Wild stamp set. And lifted the layout from Jeri on Pinterest. I stamped my images with Ranger Archival Ink and then clear heat embossed over them. Afterward, I used Copic markers to color the images.

Thanksgiving Card 2014

I created this card for my family this year.  I used a Darice embossing folder, Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves die for cutting the leaves, Recollections Flowers, Memory Box Nutty Acorn die, Simon Says Bundle of Stitched Shapes for the tag.  I had to add some sparkle, so there is some copper glitter in the veins of the leaves, the top of the acrone and on the flower too.  Love these new stiched dies.

TIM & VANESSA'S WEDDING CARD

Sending a big congratulations to my cousin Tim.  He is getting married on Saturday Sept 17th.  I made this card for the happy couple.  I used Webster Pages' ribbon with DCWV Linen paper line and lots of jewels.  I cut the sentiment with by Cricut using Martha Stewart's cartridge Elegant Cake Art and also Martha's paper punches.

Here is a photo with the envelop included in the background.

TRISH'S CARD

Another Webster Page creation.  I made this card for myy scrapbooking friend Trish.  Just a "Thinking of You" card.

MOM'S CARD

Well I'm totally into Webster Pages products.  I love, love, love the vintage look, but the feel is not old it's more cozy and retro, perhaps some would call it shabby chic.  You have to check'em out.

So wanted to send Mom a card while she is in Ohio during the summer (she winters here in Florida).  I created this card with a nice summer feel to it.

One item that I'm especially proud of is the sun hat.   I kept looking at the chair and thought it needed something.  Then of course, I'm going through my stash trying to figure out what I could use, finally after coming up with nothing.  I decided to try my hand at making my own sun hat, can you believe I made it from scratch! Think it turned out pretty good.

HEATHER'S BIRTHDAY CAKE

My friend Heather is an excellent cake decorator.  The things she can do with icing is amazing.  So anywho I decided to do a little cake decorating myself for her birthday.  Well me and icing aren't well acquainted.  So sticking with what I know, I made her a paper cake in an exploding box!

Lots of fun details in this.  I had this really large bottle cap and decided to run it through my BigShot. It turned into the cake plate.  The flowers are from Craftwork Cards
Here is another photo of the cake.

I heard that her son tried to take a bite out of it.  Happy Birthday Heather.

LINDSEY'S GRADUATION CARD

I have some catching up to do on my blog. 

This card was created for Lindsey she graduated in June 2011.  I love the letter "G" when it is drawn this way.  The school colors are blue and gold.  Like me, she graduated from Pompano Beach High School.

I cut the letters with the Cricut, the paper is from American Crafts.

The 3D house I created for a 4th of July decoration won Chic-Of-The-Week over on the Just Us Girls Blog challenge.  Thanks Maria for crowning me this week.

4TH OF JULY HOUSE

I created with a cute house for decoration for the 4th of July.  I used a .svg file to cut the shapes.  I really enjoyed playing and putting it together.  I am going to enter it into the Just Us Girls #90-3D challenge.

Isn't it cute, notice the flowers in the window boxes and the flag is free standing too.  I used K & Company "Americana" paper stack with my Cricut Expression and a cut file from SVGCuts.com, Mary from SVGCuts did an awesome job creating this cut file.  It took some mad skills to design this house. 

JESSICA'S B-DAY CARD 2011

Another birthday we celebrate during the month of May is for my niece Jessica.  She will be 15!!  Heaven help my brother.  Now for her card NO vintage, after all what teenager is into vintage.  So I pulled out my Hannah Lynn digi stamp for this one.

It is an easel card.  I used Copic and atyou Spica markers to color.  Hannah named her "Bookworm Fairy", her wings are sparkly because the atyou markers twinkle.  I used my Cricut to cut the frame.  My DP is from Close to my Heart.  The butterflies are cut with Marianne Design dies.  This is a pic of the inside.

Yes the important part CASH.  Here I used my Cricut with SCAL to cut the font and a Martha Stewart punch.  You can see the butterflies better here, they are layered and I used some bling for that finishing touch.  I will enter this card in Through the Craft Room Door challenge TTCRD01

JIM'S B-DAY CARD 2011

I created this card for my brother, he is totally into vintage and nautical things.  I didn't want to over do his card so it's rather simple.  I thought the paper and the stamped image gave the feel of the young boy waiting for his favorite ship to return to port.  Hope he likes it.

My DP is Webster Pages and all stamps are from Clear Art Stamps, Sweet Kids collection.  The blue and red on the left side is ribbon.  This is a shot of the inside. 

MOTHER'S DAY CARD 2011

I am so gratful to have two mother's to make cards for.  So this card is times 2.  I am totally into the vintage look.

Crafty Secrets has Clear Art Stamps that again play right to my vintage craving... I used a stamp from their Sweet Kids collection, and colored with Copic marker.  Happy Mother's Day!!

How Time Flys Card

Holly has completed her training as an Esthetician and Electrology Technician.  So I made a card for her.

JUST US GIRLS SKETCH CHALLENGE

I created this card to enter into Just Us Girls Sketch Challenge. 

The main DP is from Melissa Frances 5th Avenue collection.  The postage stamp is from Whimsy Stamps.  What's really cool is they also sell the die that cuts the image...so no tedious cutting required.  Love it.  The image is colored with Copics.  I laid down a lavender ribbon (top & bottom) and topped it with paper punched with an EK Success punch.  Pierced around the card and image for a finishing touch.

VERY PRESENT HELPERS

I created this card for a challenge in Color Me Creative Classroom.  The challenge was to use primary colors in your creation and to use Copics to color your image.  I choose to use Very Present Helpers by Crissy Armstrong.

Aren't they the cutest things you've seen.  Little trouble makers, don't you think.  It was a fun card to make.  Hope you enjoy it.

TILDA IN CHINA

I created this card for the Color Me Creative Classroom final challenge of the birthday week.  It was a color challenge.  We were to use Purple, Green and Cream or Yellow.  I titled this Tilda in China because of the black hair and the branch, it just seems oriental to me.  The flowers and branch are cut with a Sizzix die.
