A Card Revisited

This card is resurrected from a 2006 idea, I believe it was originally featured in an Autumn Leaves calendar (don't quote me on that). Anyway, I came across it again and thought I do it up.

The top of the card has a little mini album of 5 (you could do more) pictures of various years.
Each picture is marked with the age on a little scallop circle.

The inside saying I generated using my computer.

Calendar Project

Here is a peek of the cutest calendar project.


I purchased this kit from http://gotcrafts.typepad.com/, they have a lot of cute kit idea's. I was so happy with the way it turned out. I'm sure the subject of my calendar made it a little sweeter but then I'm bias anyway.

Not The Most Fun

I'm not sure about anyone else but I have a hard time designing sympathy cards. I found myself sadly faced with the the need to make two sympathy cards. I always imagine how I would feel when I opened the card. I like to keep them simple yet expressive.

Here are the 2 completed cards. Perhaps they will provide some inspiration when you are faced with the sad situation of having to make a sympathy card.

Too Cute!

One of my clients found this fawn abandoned on the road. She took it home to foster it and save it. They guesstimate this little one to be about 10 days old. He/she (?) will melt your heart in seconds.

So Excited!

Well, if you have old CD's laying around here is one idea of what to do with them. I made this ABC book for my grandson and I'm thrilled at how it turned out. Each page has a picture, and boy "V" was a hard one, finally came up with "vacation". Here is a peek inside...

I enjoyed whipping this up. It really worked up fast as I started it yesterday and finished it today. So, get out those old CD's and play.

Having Fun on a Sunday

I made this card for my grandson and used some new stamps my wonderful sister bought for me.

I was pleased how this turned out, it looks like the turtle and fish are suspended off the card. I colored the image with Prisma pencils and then blended it with mineral spirits. Used a bit of glitter pen here and there and used a Copic to outline parts of the image.

Happy Birthday Honey!!!

Today is my hubby's 55th birthday. I whipped up two cards for him, one from me and one from "my" dog. I have a miniture pincher that is often referred to as "the red dog". Hubby isn't particularly fond of my dog so I thought something unconventional would work.

I colored the dogs card with Prisma pencils and used some orderless mineral spirits for blending. For my card I used markers and a bit of a sparkly glitter pen. I worked together the image from 3 different stamp sets. The hat is a Studio G stamp, the heart balloon is from an Angel Company set called Artsy Owls and the guy is also from TAC and the set is called Little Friends.

Happy birthday honey, hope you have a wonderful day!

Thanks Sue!

Have I ever mentioned how wonderful my sister is? I just returned home from a vacation spent with my family in Michigan. Whenever I'm in Michigan my scrappin' sister, Sue, always jam packs a scrapping agenda for me and this visit was no different.

I was able to go to the Great American Scrapbook Convention compliments of sis. This is the first time I've been to such an event and it was like a toddlers Christmas for me! We spent hours looking and shopping. Sue also took me to Archiver's, Live Laugh Love and Scrap and Scrapbook Emporium, I mean truly what more could I ask for. She always treats me like a princess.

I wanted to do something for her to show her how special she is to me. I put together this canvas layout that I wanted to share with you. The pictures I used are from this past visit. I'm excited to send it to her. I wish everyone could be blessed with a sister like mine!
