Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving.

It is almost over, and I had a wonderful day.
With all the fixins' and now really stuffed.

Thanks to everyone who visited my blog today.
Hope you will come back again.

Here is a card that I did a couple years ago. I had a lot of ladies liking this card and the sentiment.
Enjoy...

Isn't he the most gorgeous Turkey you ever seen.

Just adorable and cute.

This is the inside of the card.

Love the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again.

So sorry

So sorry I have been gone so long. I can't believe it has been a month and more since I have had the time to add cards. It sure has been hectic. Things are slowly becoming more manageable for me. I hope to add more cards soon. Please come back again to see the new cards and projects that I want to show you.

Thank you for visiting my blog.
Hope to be back again real soon.

Have a delicious birthday

Hope you enjoyed those really nice days we just had. I was wondering if that was our Indian Summer Days. Well, lets hope not because we could use a few more nice days before that cold weather comes.

On to my card.

I need a birthday card, so why not make one.

I thought turquoise, mambo melon and black would look great together.

I love the turquoise and mambo melon together.

Isn't the border of hats and presents cute?

It is a Martha Stewart border punch.

And the first time to use it, too. 

I like it and hope to use it again real soon. 

I am not to fond of the cake stamp, but it worked. 

Love the sentiment stamp. I got it from The Stamp Pad in Zoar, Ohio.

If you need to know who makes it, let me know, I will check my stamp and see what company it comes from and let you know.   

That's it for now. Hope to see you in a day or two with a few more cards.

I am working on my next Card Class which is in a couple weeks.

Thanks for stopping by.

Make a wish

Love this card, it is so pretty. I made this card for a special friend. Happy Birthday Susan, I know it was a while ago, but just now getting the card on my blog for everyone to see. I used this card for one of my classes and everyone loved it and commented on how nice the card was. Some of the ladies even said it was there favorite for the day. The designer paper is so pretty. I need to look up the name of the company for the paper, I never can remember who makes the paper. I put the card on the computer in a different room then my scrappin room, so it is difficult to find out all the supplies that I use. The paper is really old and probably not available today. I sure wish I would have bought 25 sheets of it. I think this would make an awesome Christmas Card. Must be the red and olive green mixed together.

I stamped the Make a wish with the window word punch and layered it on red with the modern label punch. More dimensional here, too.  

All the punches are from Stampin Up. 

The squares are punched 1 inch with the design paper and 1 1/4 inch on the red card stock. I also pupped up the designer paper with a pop up. It gave the card a lot of dimension. With a black sheer bow and large green brads, wow this makes an awesome card.

Thank You for checking out my creations.
Please leave a comment, I cherish every one of them. It means a lot to me.

Love is for the Birds

Aren't these birds the cutest. and love the hearts.

I made this card an anniversary card. Love the sentiment.

Perfect for a couple love birds that are having an anniversary.

The love birds are from There She Goes Rubber Stamps along with the sentiment also. This is a great set of stamps. You can find them on the right side of my blog and click the name Jessica Knutsen. She is the owner of There She Goes. If you would like a set of these stamps, let me know. I can get them for you.

I colored the image with Tombow Markers.

My color combo is pink, yellow and blue. Totally awesome together.

Come back again to see more of my creations.

Thanks for stopping by...

Sorry for MIA so long

So sorry for MIA so long, it has been a hectic 2 weeks. Just to much going on.
I hope to get some cards on here real soon.

Here is a card I made a couple weeks ago.
Thank you for checking back. Hope the next time it won't be so long.

I just love this Changito Monkey. He is a cutie and from Stampendous Rubber Stamps. And the blue and red is a great combo. I colored him with prisma watercolor pencils and a few markers.
I used a Darice Embossing folder to make the dots on the red layer of card stock. I think Darice makes the cutest Embossing Folders. Love, love love the gingham blue ribbon. Well, hope you liked my card and hope you come back real soon. Thank you for stopping by.

With Deepest Sympathy

I made these cards a while ago and wanted to show them to you. I like the flower as the main focal point, it shows up so well. But then, maybe it shouldn't be so bright and bold. So I made another card and didn't put the flower on it, instead I added a small blue rhinestone. It is more toned down somewhat. I think it is all in what the person likes or prefers.

I started with a piece of black cardstock, I ripped out a page from (a not so favorite) book and tore the edge. Glued the torn page to the black cardstock. I stamped the background with a distressed stamp. I like how it distressed the words from the page.

The tag is from Kraft cardstock that has rounded corners. I stamped the Sympathy words on white paper and punched out with the fancy frame punch. Added the flower and crystal rhinestones in the center of the flower and on the small swirl in the middle of the image. And of course I needed to add ribbon somewhere to the card. I think that is my trademark on a card. (Ribbon). I turned the top of the ribbon to make a loop and glued it between the Kraft and white paper.

                                                      more toned down than the first card

I think they are both very nice cards.

Paper and Ribbon are both from my stash

Stamp images and Punch are both from Stampin Up.

Hope you enjoyed my cards today and come back again.

Thank You.  

It's your Birthday, Wish Big

I wanted to show you a Birthday card that I made for my nephew.
I didn't want it to sissy looking for him. So I just added a balloon brad and some jute string. The design paper from Karen Foster has all about a birthday, so it worked well for him.
I colored the Big with Tombow Markers. I think it is cute and my nephew will love it.

Thanks for stopping by and come back again soon.

Cute Candy Bar Purse

Here is a candy bar or a treat purse I made a couple weeks ago.

So cute and easy to make.

Holds a mini size candy bar or a lipbalm stick.

 another view of the purse

I added black ribbon for the handles, I think it works better than the paper ones that I seen on the internet. And of course lots of bling. The bling is from a sticker sheet. Last but not least, I used a library clip for the closure.  

Thank you for stopping today
Hope to see you again real soon.

Birthday Wishes

I wanted to make a clean and simple card with lots of color.

I think this one will fit the challenge. 

I used Kraft paper and some design paper to accent the flowers.

I stamped the flowers, colored them with Tombow Markers and then cut them out.

Then I painted the flowers with glossy effects. Then I punched the corners on the top of the card.

Added some ribbon and done.

Stamps: There She Goes (Dance)
Paper: My Stash
Embellishments: Corner Punch, Ribbon and Brads.

Thank you for stopping in today and hope you will come back again soon.

How has 9/11 impacted your life?

I invite you to join me in honoring the memory of all whose lives were lost or forever changed on 9/11 - and to pay tribute to our nation's heroes.

Happy Birthday Poppies

Here is a very pretty Poppy Card that I made last month.
I love the orange color of the poppies, I colored my poppies with a Tombow Marker the same color as my sister's poppies. She has oodles of them. I have only one poppy plant and it is white with a deep purple center. It is pretty, but I love the orange poppies.

The Poppy Stamp is from Hero Arts
Paper and Ribbon are from my stash.

                               Here is my sister's Poppies... 
                               aren't they pretty?

If Friends were flowers, I'd pick you

I seen this adorable bear and just had to have him. I love daisies too, so it was easy to buy him.  

I colored him with prisma pencils and blended with OMS. 

The daisy is a die cut from MFT and I put 2 flower together with a yellowy/green brad that I put glitter on myself.  

I stamped the sentiment on the designer paper. I liked how it looked and I wouldn't have to add another layer of paper for it.

I don't remember the name of the other designer paper, it was in my stash and I liked all the colors and the flowers on it. Went perfect with my bear and daisies.  

Stamps: Oopsy Daisy (Bear) My Favorite Things

Thanks for checking out my blog and I hope you will come back again soon. 

Happiness comes through doors

I loved this happiness sentiment, so perfect for a special friend or family member.

This is adorable with the heart embossing folder and the heart designer paper. 

Of course I had to add ribbon, so I thought do polka dot to match some of the hearts on the designer paper. 

I liked the black card stock, it brings out the other images so well. 

Thank you for stopping by. Your comments are always appreciated.
