Paper Trey Princess Challenge

2011-10-02T17:26:00.005-04:00

I am hosting the challenge for this weeks Paper Trey Princesses and I am 3 days late. I apologize for this. I can give you every excuse in the book but the simplest answer is life just happened.

So on to the show. Red is my favorite color so I decided to do the challenge around that. My challenge for you is to use RED. I used Pure Poppy from PTI. Psst....I love Kraft Paper also.

Thanks so much ladies and I'll be chatting with you soon.

Baby Notes

2010-04-28T10:47:00.005-04:00

Ok, this is something I made awhile back and didn't take a picture. I'm a child care provider for a sweet little boy and I made this so his Mom and I could communicate with ease without having to pick up the phone every other day. Seems to be working out very well. I wanted to use white O-Wires but I didn't have the size I needed. I also took the picture very quickly as you can tell I did not use my photo tent. With all the short cuts it turned out pretty good!!!

Baby Shower Invitation

2010-04-22T08:38:00.005-04:00

This is a Baby Shower invitation I made for my one and only Niece. She is pregnant with her 2nd child and it's a girl. When my sister asked me to help make them my first thought was my niece, Bethany. What does she like? Purple is her favorite color and she loves butterflies. Well I think I covered all aspects. The pink is for, of course, the baby being a little girl. I hope the father can survive raising 2 girls. He's such a softy!!!

Mothers Day Card's

2010-04-17T13:40:00.007-04:00

I've been very BIZZY with making Mothers Day Card's. I wanted a simple design (mass production) but each card with it's "own" design. I think I have accomplished it. I made cards for my mom, mother-in-law, sister, and niece's. There's something interesting I want to show you about the niece card. Stay tuned to the 2nd picture.

My color pallet is from Close to My Heart. I love their colors. When making a card for my niece's I could not find a stamp that just said niece. I could not believe out of ALL the stamps I own none of them said niece. Well what to do?!?!?!?! The I remembered I have all the R-G-B codes to match CTMH so that's what I did. I printed the Niece sentiment via the computer. I could not believe how close the colors are. WOW!!! I posted a close up picture so you could judge for yourself. Enjoy and thanks for blogging by.

Christopher's Birthday Card

2010-04-15T13:23:00.004-04:00

Another not so good picture. But again this card had been delivered before I realized the picture was not so good. Anywhooo, this is another BD Card for April and it's for my newphew. He is a train guy. Loves Thomas the train!! So I thought this was appropriate for him. Miss you Christopher!!

I pulled out a SU Teddy and Train set for his card. I think the card is a little "flat". Nothing is raised to give it some dimension. But other then that I do like the card. Here are the details.

BEFORE AND AFTER

2010-04-12T14:12:00.007-04:00

You know sometimes when you finish a card you say "I wish I had done this". This post is an example of that. Not that this time around makes a big difference but a lot of times it could. The thing that draws me to art work is texture or the look of texture. I like it when something makes me want to touch it.

Ok, on with the picture. This Mother's day card is for a dear friend who is going through a rough time. Almost everything and anything has happened to her in the past 18 months. I want to make sure she knows how wonderful a mother she is.

I love the color combination for this card. Lots of pastels, very feminine. Perfect for a Mother's Day card. When I finished the card though, I wish I had put my background through a Embossing Folder...well I created another card and did just that. I think it makes enough difference to say "ahhhhhh". The only thing I changed were the pearls. I used tiny brads so they would balance the design better.

I would love to hear you thoughts. Thanks for blogging by

2010-04-07T11:51:00.008-04:00

This card is for my stink'n cute niece, Rebekha who is turning 3. I can't believe how old she is. Time is flying by. I miss her a lot as she lives states away from me.

You know when you're almost finished with a card and you make a mistake then comes "what can I do to cover it up"....well the marker lines on the top and bottom are just that. I went to use my white gel pen and it messed up on me, urghhh! But I thought it was a safe recovery, LOL. Stay tuned as there is more to come, lots of birthday's in April.

CTMH Everyday Celebration Cardmaking Kit

2010-03-16T12:46:00.003-04:00

This is a paper pack from Close to My Heart. I used the cutting chart with the card kit and made about 20 cards from it. So simple to use. These cards are going to the local Senior Center where I live. They play Bingo on Tuesday and Thursdays and the bingo prizes can be a little scarce.

I'm not sure what happened but nothing that I originally posted on March 16th showed up and I just noticed...it was probably operator error!!! Please excuse my absence for 2 weeks.

Stampin Up Snow Swirled

2009-02-12T18:24:00.002-05:00

This card I finally finished. I went to a SU Regionals with my Stampin Up Consultant. We did so many projects I could not keep. So I stamped everything I could and ended taking my projects home to finish. I really like the Christmas Tree from Snow Swirled. This stamp was not suppose to be used with this project but when I found out my consultant had this set I had her stamp me one. Thanks Barb!!

Stampin Up Best Wishes and More

2009-02-11T05:56:00.000-05:00

This is my take on my color combo but the real story for the card is.........

Ok, this is my first attempt to make a Valentine's Day card for this year. The real attempt is for my 15 year old son. This is tough for me. Valentines, Love and a card from your MOTHER!! Now if it was from some young girl from school it would be a total different story. I love a CAS (clean and simple) style but it was not just right yet. I will post another one some time today when I ponder it a little bit more ......but I do have something else in mind. So stay tuned in to see what I come up with.

Color Challenge

2009-02-11T05:36:00.005-05:00

Here is another color combo for you to try. The reason I chose these colors is for Valentines.......and Valentines for my 15 year old son. This is a toughy for me. Not something too sweet and too pink. He doesn't want to receive something from me confessing my love for him. Though he knows it, I make sure I tell him everyday. In a few minutes I will most my take on this.

For My Great Niece

2009-01-15T18:57:00.005-05:00

Ok so here is another card for my Niece, Great Niece that is!! Her name is Madison and she's turning 3. When she is in the room the sun rises and falls upon her!! Love her so much.

This is my first try with the Gina K stamp set Retro Boutique. I love this little dress. I colored with Copic markers and then cut out the image. Popped it on some pop dots. Then used my Essential Glue pad and then drizzled glitter all on the dress. Had to make it as girly as I could. The base is Paper Trey Ink cardstock scored with my Scor pal. The designer paper is from Stampin Up! The little bling bling is from Gina K also. I used Stampin Up!'s corner punches and added a little dimension to the inside of the card.

Hope you enjoyed and thanks for blogging by!!

It's has been very difficult for me to upload any pictures. Everytime I do it would not take!! I didn't know exactly what was going on. But some how some way TONIGHT I changed the file size and played around with some other settings and WAAAALAAAA!! It came up in about 10 seconds. So I have posted everything that I took a picture of. There are some things that I NOW regret not taking a picture of. So keep checking in to see what's new.
