The photo on top is my scrapbook page.  The bottom was my inspiration.  I took the idea out of Creating Keepsakes Magazine Feb2010.  I do not have any photos on mine yet.  I think that will make it great.  It will also allow for me to title it.  This could be a fun layout for summertime.  This was quick and easy.

Get Well Card for the Outdoorsman

This card is made for an outdoors type person.  Hope it cheers them up. 

Mini Scrabook Photo Display

This is how I spent my Sunday morning.  It was fun.

Varanda Thank You Card

I needed a thank you card for someone.  I hope they like this one.

Always In My Heart Card

This is the challenge for Sunday Night.  The card is on Pg 114 of Wishes.  I was not crazy about the design when I first saw it but I quickly figured out what to do.  I wanted to try a technique that I recently found in a book that I was reading where they made a heart out of flower petals.  I used a large just blooms.  I have to say it made a cute heart. 

Thinking of you valentine.

This one is one that looked better in my mind.  I think I will try this one again with a little more contrast.  What do you think?

I think I need more chocolate.  What woman doesn't?

Shadow

This is my new addition to the family.  Shadow was my mom's dog.  My mom passed away with Leukemia this past summer.  This dog was her pride an joy.  She joined my family Thanksgiving weekend.

You Rock Valentine!

I know it has been a while since I have posted.  My computer room has no heat and it is above 0 FINALLY!!!

This card got the approval from both of my 13 year old girls.  They said "cool".

I used a sizzix heart and embossed in black from the "you rock" stamp set.  The border was made with a border punch but coud just as easily be made with circle punches. 

Another Birthday Card

This card pattern came from the originals book.  Actually I liked the picture so much that I added swirls just like the book.  I think this color combo is real cheerful.

Invitation

I tried and tried to scan this one but every time it was crooked.  Oh well you will still see the invitation for my girls' birthday.

Gift Card Holder

I got this pattern out of the November edition of Card Maker Magazine.  I made this one using Boom Di Ada pattern paper Hollyhock, and Garden Green Card stock and of course the CTMH Just Blooms Autumn.    My little girls (twins) will be 13 next saturday.  I think this is a great way to present a gift card.  Invest in this magazine becuase it had lots of great ideas for gift card holders.

Card Challenge ...

This is this week's card challenge.  Stipulations are a green and purple round card.  I am so in the Christmas Card making spirit that I couldn't stop.

I embossed the ornament and added just a little bling.  I added silver foil around the ornament.

Aloha Santa

I made this card for a man in my office who will be missing Hawii this winter.  This should make him smile.  I hope so anyway.

Sunday Card Challenge Pg 119

This is the challenge for this week.  The paper is aspen the stamp sets are November Word Puzzle and Give Thanks.  I used chocolate ribbon. 

Snowman Soup

I love to give out snowman soup each year.  I found the template to do this mug several months ago and have just been waiting to do this. 

I used twilight, and outdoor denim card stock, b&t from aspen, denim twill ribbon and a snowflake brad.  Make sure if you give snowman soup that you use marshmellow hot cocoa.

Thinking Of You BCA

This card was a special order for a lady that I work with.   She wants to send it to someone who is battleing that breast cancer battle.  She just wanted something to let her know that she was on her mind.  I did not use CTMH pattern paper for this one but the cardstock is bubble gum, the ink is bubble gum and I just coordinated it with something that I would find cheerful.  The pattern did come out of the wishes book.

Card Challenge Pg 33

This is the card challenge from the wishes book this week.  The stamp set is long since retired but I love it as much today as the day I purchased it.  I used a little liquid glass and prisma glitter to make the trees appear frosted.  As normal with Prisma glitter it gets everwhere so I rubbed the upper portion of the circle in the glitter and sealed it with a little hairspray.

Office Holiday Card

The office where I work asked me to make Christmas cards.  This is what I came up with.  Now I am off to make 19 more. 

Card Challenge

This is the card challenge for the week.  Actually it serves 2 purposes.  A girl that I work with has moved on to a higher salary.  Who can blame her in this enconomy. 

Fall?

A couple of weeks ago we had record cold to deal with.  We woke up one morning to a dusting of snow.  By that afternoon the leaves fell off of the tree AND THEY WERE STILL GREEN.   I have never seen anything like this before.  Now we have no leaves on the tree.  I was so sick with the flu that I couldn't even think of messing with downloading photos and sharing.   Now that I am better and the temps have bounced back to normal I would like to share with you all.
