Birthday Card

We are going to a surprise birthday party for our neighbor tonight. So I thought I would whip up a card for her birthday. I actually had a lot of fun making this card. It surpisingly went fast too. Usually it takes me a while to make a card, so I was quite happy, haha! I used different types of paper, and inked the edges of the cream colored cardstock. I love this stamp. I think she is just too darn cute. So far I have 4 of these stamps, and am looking forward to getting some more.

challenge I never submitted

I tried to make this card for the Magnolia Down Under Challenge, and changed my mind. The camera I am using just didn't seem to do the paper justice. I really LOVE this paper. I actually bought the paper stack (Mirabelle from My Paper Studio) so I could do some pages of my mom and my grandmother. The paper in this stack is absolutely beautiful! But when I was trying to figure out the papers for the challenge, I came accross this pack I bought and thought, oh that would look so pretty. Well, I wasn't really all that happy with the outcome of it unfortunately. I had my friend / co-worker over, and we had a good time chatting why we made cards. I was working on this card. She is a extremely talented card maker. I am trying to convince her to publish some of her cards as they are just SOOOO amazing!! anyway, here is the outcome of the card.

Candy Challenge

Here is a card I made for a challenge on FB group. The papers are from the Sweet Stack from DCWV.

Hands In My Pocket....

I love that song "Hands In My Pocket" by Alanis Morrisette! Great singer! Not that it fits this sweet little stamp, but the song entered my head when I was coloring her. Not sure really why. It's been a while since I have sat down and made a card. Have to say I missed it. I just turned up my music and sang along to the tunes and before I new it....I created this card. Hope you enjoy! :0)

Swiss Pixie Miss Rosalie

Hi all! just a quick drop in. Used my new stamp that I received, Miss Rosalie. I think she is just too adorable!! Anyway, just put together a card after playing with this stamp. Hope you enjoy, and appreciate any comments. Ta-ta for now ;-)

Different kind of card....

I wanted to try something different by doing a card I never done before. This card was more for just playing around. Before I knew it...a card was born, lol!
I wanted something on the flap, but just couldn't quite put it together. So I dug around my spellbinders, and came up with the scalloped circle. I then came across my embossing Cuddlebug flower border and ran it through on the flap of the card. I actually had some Velcro and placed it under the flap to hold the flap closed. Anyway, it was just a play around card, but was fun to make. Thanks for stopping by and Have a good one! ;0)

Magnolia Down Under challenge 41

The theme this week is olden days using black, white, and grey's. I have to admit, this one was very challenging for me. I tried colored several Tilda's, and have to say, I struggled. I started with Copics, then went to chalks, then went back with Copics. But I kept at it, and think I have it.

Paper: Brown card stock; lettering from Paper Studio, and Swirls and Twirls from Paper Pizazz.
Frame from Spellbinders
Shy Tilda Magnolia Stamp
