FATHER'S DAY CARD

This card I created for my DH (darling hubby).  He is a wonderful father to our two girls.  He loves airplanes and flying, although he hasn't done it in a while.  When I saw this image from Penny Black, I knew it would be perfect for him.  I used Copics to color the image.  My DP is from Basic Grey & Bazzill Card Stock both from the Max & Whiskers line.  The sentiment is cut with my Cricut, using one of my own fonts with Sure Cuts a Lot software.  The inside of the card says "may you find joy in whatever you do."

The Feel Better Soon card I made for Janet won the June challenge at Sew Many Cards.  I am very excited to be able to post my badge

FEEL BETTER SOON

I made this card for Janet she is my Close to My Heart consultant.  I used a digi stamp from Sew Many Cards, she is called Girl with Hearts.  My DP is from CTMH.  I used my Wizard to create the dark pink mat for the stripped paper.  I love the rose it is from Prima Flowers.  I sure hope it helps make Janet feel better.  My thoughts and prayers are with her.

IVY'S GRADUATION

Here is the young graduate, posing in front of the UF famous Gator. Endings and new beginnings, they can be best and hardest things to do. We love you Ivy.
Hooded and congratulated, it is finished.

IVY'S GRADUATION CARD

This is the card I made for my daughter Ivy. She graduated from ...can you guess?? The University of Florida. She is now the proud owner of three letters after her name "DPT". Way to go Ivy.
I really wanted to create a card that would be sophisticated yet personal and fun for her. So I believe the papers offer the sophistication I was looking for and the digi stamp of young lady and the bling the personality and fun I wanted.
I colored her with Copics in the school colors of orange and blue and then added the Gator logo to the front of her gown. The cap, gown and diploma are stickers. I used black Stickles on the flowers. The digi stamp is from Squigglefly the artist is Chesney Young . I have to point out the diamond necklace, I used some leftover sequence. I thought it added a nice touch This is the inside, again trying to maintain the sophistication of the event.

CRICUT CHALLENGE 1

At Through The Craft Room Door, a challenge was posted to use a Cricut Cart and create four cards.

My cards were created using Design Studio and the Songbird cart (love it!!). The paper is Basic Grey "Green at Heart". Other items used are: Fiskers bunch, Spellbinder buckles, Flower Soft "Summer", GellyRoll Pens, Copics, LuminArte paints, Crayola water color paints, Prima flowers, CTMH Inks.

The font on the cart is adorable, I cut the word sentiments and included the shadow feature. I welded "Congratulations" and flipped the image on the Hello card.

Thanks for looking.

UNTAMED LOVE

I am so excited to have been chosen to be featured on Whimsy Inspiration Blog. Thank you so much Denise.

I used two of Crissy Armstrong's images from Untamed Love, the carasol horse and the heart to create this card. I colored both with Copics. The paper I used is from my stash. The pink is a sparkled paper, love it. The metal accents are from Making Memories. I used my EK Success punch and pink sparkle paper for the design on the left side. To finish three clear tear drops.

SHABBY CHIC CARD

I am so excited to be featured in May's addition of Through the Craft Room Door. Suzanne and Marti, thank you so much. Suzanne you have been my instructor and inspiration for a while now.
I created this card with Crissy Armstrong's Untamed Love stamp. This card is colored with Copic markers. I applied a Pebbles chalk over the image to dull the colors slightly. The DPs... well, I just looked through my stash for the "shabby" stuff. I love the bow and Prima flower combo. Faux stitching around the card with my AC Ultimate Gel Pen (white) and Recollections Pearl Stickers and a couple of buttons to finish. TFL.

DAD'S GET WELL CARD

My father-in-law had a operation recently and I made him this card. The Magnolia stamp I purchased from 7 College Kids. I had to have it because it looks so much like my dog Little Lady. My father-in-law loves Lady, so I knew this would cheer him up. I used Copics to color the stamp, trying to get it as similar to Lady as possible. The little paw prints are brads from Michael's. The sentiment I found on Split Coast Stampers web-site. I think it adds the right amount of quirkiness to the whole card. My DP is from Basic Grey's collection Max & Whiskers.

TILDA FOR DIXIE

I made this card for my sister-in-law Dixie. I hope she likes it. I used a Magnolia stamp it's Tilda with her favorite stuffed animal. I colored the image with Copic markers and used Close to My Heart papers. I did a little stiching around the circle and added a flower. The Hello letters were cut with the Cricut

Accordian Pocket File

This was a fun project, it took just a couple of hours. As I was making it, I asked myself what am I going to do with this once it's done... well it holds my Waxy Flax from Close to My Heart. It actually works out quite well. I did add tabs to each pocket and color coded them with my CTMH ink to match the Waxy Flax color. I cut the tabs on my Cricut, using SCAL and a .svg file folder image.

Karen's Birthday Card

This card I created for my sister-in-law Karen. I used Close to My Heart paper and Sizzix cupcake die. I love these colors they are my favorite. The thing I could have done better on is the bow.

New Baby Card

A co-worker of mine Michael and his wife Leslie had a baby in March 2009. His name is Noah. I made this card for them. The bear and his back mat are covered done in fabric. The toy embelishment is chipboard from Kadzoo Kids.

Donna Downey Bag

Had a wonderful time decorating my new camera bag. Donna Downey sells the canvas bag which hold a DSLR camera and two lenses nicely. The bag is really nice with lots of cushion to keep your camera safe. I choose my favorite color scheme. I love blues, greens and the orange seem to make it all pop.

Tilda and Puppy on Red

My first Tilda card. So it has a special place in my heart. I was inspired by Suzanne Dean who is a master of card design and a designer for many products including Magnolia, who make the Tilda stamps. Love 'em.

Tilda on a Bench

I created this card with my sister-in-law in mind. Made the bench by streaching out a scalloped image on my Cricut. Looks like a chair fit for a queen.
