Happy Easter

I also created this card for the Card a Day blog challenge. I also used paper except for the frame from my November 2011 & January2012 Key Ingredients Kit of the Month from Taylored Expressions. The stamp is another stampin' up stamp.  The charm is an old one I have from A Charming Place which is back in business.

Thanks for looking.

Thought's of you

Here's another card for the Card a Day monthly challenge. I used my October 2011 and November2011 Key Ingredients Kit of the Month from Taylored Expressions . The only pieces not from the kit is the Stampin' Up Whimisal Word stamp and the white frame.

Hello Baby

Card a Day Blog is hosting another fun challenge. Baby cards are the first for this month.  Can't believe I actually need one - lol.  In fact this is the 2nd baby card I've made in the last 4 weeks.  I used my Klic-n-Kut to make this one.The card base and the 3-D butterfly are files by Shelly's Art. The card base is from this month's card sketch challenge on the Paperthreads forum and the 3-D butterfly file you can find in Shelly's store at Paperthreads.  I used a misc piece of two sided card stock for the base and the solid elements on the card. The rest of the pieces were cut from paper I got in my Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients monthly kit.   The gold shimmer is Stampin' Up's champagne mist shimmer paint and the "Hello Baby" is from Stampin' Up's Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. 

The picture is not the best :(.  Had to take it under my Ott lamp since I need to take the card to work tomorrow.  Thanks for looking.

Spring has sprung

wanted to share some pictures of spring.  Not looking forward to summer if it's above average temperatures like our winter has been .

Furry Friend Thank yous

Another awesome Card a Day blog challenge.  Hope you'll come join them soon.

A friend who volunteers at several animal shelters in town asked me to make some cards for them to use. I ordered paper and a punch a while back and I'm finally making the cards. These are extra easy to
make. All you need is paper really. I used WE R Memories 6x6 Furry Friends paper stack and misc off white card stock for the base. I cut the blocks from the paper for the front pieces. THe bottom edge is a strip of the patterned paper in the stack.  I cut it with my border punch but you could just add it without being punched. I selected another lighter color pattern from the stack, stamped "Thank You" then cut it out with my nestibilites.  If you don't have a stamp, you can hand write it and cut it out with scissors or a cutter.Thanks for stopping by and looking.  Think CHandra will like the cards ;-)?

Here are all 6 of the cards...

Here's a close up of two of the cards. 

Valentine's Cards

Card a Day blog is back to offering challenges. One of the challenges this month is Valentine's cards. Here are two I made last night. These are very simple. I used a Sizzix embossing folder for the background of the card on the left then inked over the raised design. I added an embossed heart from the small set I got with my Cuddlebug. The card on the right is even more simple. I stamped Happy Valentine's Day (misc stamp I have) and cut it out with the Labels 4 Nestibilites set. I used the same paper for the background and popped up the sentiment. Thanks for visiting!

ANother Christmas Card

Here's 1 of 6 cards I made for the Paperthreads Dec. Card Challenge.  I used the challenge file created by Auzzie Caz and added the Mary & Joseph from Jennie Bean Crafts Bauble file to it.  The pattern paper is all scraps from the Basic Grey FruitCake line.  I'm also going to use this for the December challenge at Card a Day blog.  This is another good one for Christmas celebration.  I forgot to mention in my last post that my floating Santa was for the Christmas and Children theme:).
