Home Sweet Home!

Hi Everyone!

Thought I would share a card that I made a while ago for my Mom.  She sells real estate and I thought these cards were perfect to send her clients after they purchase a home.  I made one and had every intention of making a set... but you know how that goes. I saw the challenge over at CELEBRATE THE OCCASION - "New House" challenge. So I thought I would enter. The card is done using Create a critter. I put a little stickles on the flowers in the window and the sentiment is from my computer. I finished it off with the white gel pen, some ribbon, and a button. Hope you enjoy!

Thinking of You!

Hi Everyone!

Some of you know I have a love/dislike (I don't like the word hate) relationship with my Disney Cartirdge.  I just LOVE the images but sometimes they are a little tricky to cut. Well I had this Minnie cut out for sometime just waiting to be used. I'm not sure if I absolutely love the card but I do love Minnie! This card is a square 4.75", I used the Mickey and Friends cartridge and printed the sentiment from my computer.  I added black and white ribbon and stickles on her gloves. Finished it off with the white gel pen.  I found two challenges that I can enter this card in:
Challenges:
BITTEN BY THE BUG 2 - Disney Themed
CARD CREATIONS & MORE BY C - Use patterned ribbon

Spring Card and a bunch of challenges

Hi Everyone!

Wow It seems like everyone is ready for spring.  I know I am. Here is a card that I created for a bunch of challenges. It screams spring, and is pretty simple as usual. I used Gypsy wandering for the postage stamp shape and Create a Critter for the flower. The ribbon is from American crafts and it is placed over a scallop border trim cut with decorative edge scissors. White gel pen accents the two flowers.

Hope you enjoy!

SCRABOOKAHOLIC BY ABBY - Anything Spring

Manly Wishes - Wacky Wednesday Challenge

Hi Everyone!

Here is my entry for MORE THAN FAVORS - Wacky Wednesday Manly Challenge. So there is a bit of a story behind this card. I learned this technique so very long ago when my son's class made neck ties for all of their Dads. Although the ties were clown size and filled with leaves and twigs, I used the same technique smaller scale minus the leaves and twigs :)  I used the Wrap it up cartridge for the tie and the wild card cartridge for the pocket. For the collar I used a white piece of cardstock 1.25 x 6.5 and just folded the edges down to form a collar. I machine stitched the pocket and that's it. I left the front blank without a sentiment to keep the feel of a real shirt.

Hope you enjoy!
