TGIF, what a brutal week *wink* I think I could really get use to a 3 days work week.

Another card in the 'Pink" Series. Same type of layering just not as much of it. I love the Sizzix-Scribbles Swirls they are so pretty. The Thank you is once again popped up with pop dots.

Supplies: Cream, pink and black cardstock – The Paper Company, Silver Glitter paper DCWV, Stamp-it - Audreyesq, Stampin’ Up! Warmest regards (Thank you), Kaiser Scrapbook-Rhinestones, Sizzix-Scribbles Swirls.

Have a fabulous day.

Lots of layers here, this card was orginally going to be on pink cardstock but it was just a tad over powering. So I switched to a textured cream and it worked out much better. I have layers of black and pick cardstock with a layer of silver glitter paper sandwiched. I had isssues with the alighnment with this one, I was definately no one with my glue runner. I used my Cuttlebug with Swiss Dots Embossing folder to add texture to the main pink layer.

The Thank you is popped up, along with the center shoe. The shoes are all coloured with my pink atyouSpica glitter marker. I was able to use some of my sparkly rhinestones that I was so happy with in a earlier post.

Supplies: Cream, pink and black cardstock – The Paper Company, Silver Glitter paper DCWV, Inkadinkado – Shoe, Stampin’ Up! Warmest regards (Thank you), Kaiser Scrapbook-Rhinestones, Offray – Straight ‘n’ Narrow black ribbon

Enjoy you day.

I loved this stamp, like you have not heard that before. So when I sat down to make a card, this stamp was the focal point. As always I like layers, so I used my Cuttlebug to emboss Birds and Swirls on the aqua cardstock, I used my Spellbinders Large Labels Nestabilities to die-cut the watercolour paper for the birds stamp. I coloured the birds with a mix of my watercolour pencils and my atyou Spica markers to give them a little sparkle. I wanted to use a ribbon slide but the brown ribbon was not quite wide enough so I added the sheer pink. The stamped Hello phrase is raised on pop-dots.

Supplies: Cream, and aqua cardstock, metallic brown designer paper, Making Memories Noteworthy Audrey – Designer paper, Inkadinkado-Birds and Birdhouses, Inkadinkado-Hello, misc ribbon slide, Offray brown ribbon, Modern@home pink ribbon.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend. I had not planned on not blog for 4 days but it sort of just worked out that way. I relaxed a great deal, did a little gardening and watched the copious amounts of rain pour down. Today the sun is shining, I took a vacation day and have the day to myself, all is good.

I coloured the flowers with my atyouSpica glitter markers, then added the crystals. The card portrait really does not show the glitter or the sparkle.



Supplies: Cream, kraft and black cardstock, Designer paper - Daisy D’s, Denami Design - Small flower spray, Paper Inspirations – Happy Birthday, Black – Spool o’ Ribbon, misc butterfly charm, Jolee’s jewelry flat back crystal.

Have a great Tuesday.

I was wrong yesterday, I have a card to post. This was a Thank you card to my super talented sister.. Barb.

I begged and pleaded with her to make me some designs for stamps so that I could stamp the back of my cards. She did the most amazing job, I took the designs to a local custom stamp and engraving place and they turned out fabulous.

I don't have a picture of a back of a card, I will do that next round of portraits and post. I will show you one of the designs. Barb, I am so proud of your talent I hope you don't mind that I share. I have one for every season. Can you guess which one this is?







So this is the Thank You card for Barb, for being patient with me and for being the wonderful talented sister that you are. So much for a little cardstock to say I know but...

Supplies: Sea green and cream cardstock, Designer paper - Wild Asparagus 'Cousins' Floral, Denami Design - Small flower spray, Stampin' Up - Thank you, Misc shiny black brads, WeR Memory Keeps Designer ribbon.

I have not had the chance to make any cards over the last week or so. I hope to get some time this weekend to play nice with my craft supplies. The last time I was in the local stamp store they had some new sparkles that I can't wait to use.

Kaiser Scrapbook Rhinestones. Aren't the beautiful, I brought about 5 different colours to play with, it was so nice of the store owners to put matching ribbon beside them too :)

Judy you had asked me where I found the Flamingo paper, I found it when I was looking at all the Basic Grey scrapbook paper at one of the local scrapbook stores. Here is the link to the company website http://www.basicgrey.com/. This paper is called sugared/beloved.

Have a great Wednesday,

This is such a cute stamp, I used my glitter makers to add colour to the bunny, I used Microsoft Word for all the text.

Supplies: Green cardstock, Aqua small Plaid Printer Embossed – Designer paper, Rubber stampede- Bunny Raffle, Multicraft Imports ribbon.

Back to the grind today, I hope a good weekend was had by all. We still have company so I have been a little slack on the card making. This card was made for the arrival of a new baby. I could not find a stamp that fit what I wanted for the card so I found a baby flamingo stock image and tweaked it a bit.

I used Microsoft word for the phrase. All in all I was happy with the results.



Have a great day,

Supplies: Green and Tan cardstock, Designer paper – Basic Grey Sugared beloved, misc baby flamingo images, Jesse James – Baby Bling button.

One day closer to Friday. I think it is time for a extra day or two off, the days are starting to feel heavy when I smack at my poor alarm clock way to early in the morning.

The weatherman is teasing us with hints of sunshine for a few day starting later today or tomorrow, I am looking forward to it. A little gardening is called for.

This was another basic card, it does say the exact message I want and it is a guy card you can't give them anything too "delicate".

Supplies: Tan, green and craft cardstock, Happy Retirement – Microsoft Word, 4 wheel ATV – Unknown clipart, Jesse James – Raking Leaves buttons.

Have a great Thursday.

Paying the music man. This card is super basic, I layered cardstock and designer paper four times using dimentionals on three of the layers to make them stand out. I first stamped the music note with black ink, then touched it up with my black atyouSpica glitter marker. I added some texture to the round bottom of the music note with Black Diamond Stickles.

Supplies: Shiny black cardstock, Designer paper - Musical Notes by Design Originals, Inkadinkado - Music Note, glitter marker, Stickles.

Have a great day
