Thinking of you

When I made this card I was unable to scan it like my others, so I took a quick picture of it. So please ignore the shadows in the background. When I made this card I couldn't find blue letter stickers in the color I wanted.....so I tried a new technique by adding the letter stickers to the bottom of the card and painting over them with acrylic paint. After it dried I pulled the stickers off and put them back on the sticker sheet! Yay, I'll get to use them again!

The ribbon from the front of the card is tied in a bow on the inside of the card.
Supplies: flowers and brad by Imaginisce.

It's your Birthday!!!

Birthdays, Birthdays....I've made a card or two for the occasion! Here I used two similar products but made them have a completely different look and feel by using different techniques.

The first was for my brother so I gave it a grungy, distressed and morbid feeling. I ghost stamped skulls all over the card and inked it extra dark to fit his personal style.

The second card was for my hubby! I used lots of bright colored ribbon to give it an extra celebratory feel. The holographic cardstock was from a toy package (Princess I believe).



Supplies: patterned paper by DCWV, ribbon by American Crafts.

Birthdays

Birthdays are always a fun time to make a handmade card!!! I may not come up with the super-mushy or oober funny sentiments....but I can put a good amount of Love in my cards by creating them myself!

Valentines

Of course I will be playing catch-up on my blog, so everything will be "late". I think in an effort to save me some time I will minimize my descriptions of products. If you want to know what a product is you can leave me a comment asking for a products manufacturer.



I usually leave out the sentiments in my cards...but here it is in all it's mushy glory!



Supplies and design from the Card Makers February card kit.

GUILTY AS CHARGED

I have not been on my blog in 6 months...OMG. I literally fell off the face of the blogging world. Well I'm back...and hopefully with a vengance. A new year...a new me!!! I have so many projects to post on here...many of them the ones I mentioned in my last post.

Shelly my sweet bloggy friend the winner of my first giveaway I promise I have not forgotten you and I think about mailing your prize away....so very often...the problem is I lost your addy. I pinky swear I will add it to my address book this time and I will never loose you again.

After my last post within a week I had to reformat my laptops hard drive..and last month after re-arranging my craft room I had a boo-b00 and dropped a speaker on my laptop and ruined my hard drive. I had to install a new one. I've had a bit of the bad luck with my computer in the last months...but I promise I will be a better blogger!

I have so much to share with you all and I can't wait to start again! So here is to a new year of sharing my crafty creations to you all(holding glass of water high), may you forgive my past, and may you enjoy mine.... and your own future!!! CHEERS!
