Rose ATC





This is an artist trading card (ATC) I made for a group swap.  The requirements were to use lace, ribbon, or bow, glitter, your choice of image and a green circle.  I forgot about the green circle and glitter until I had completed the cards, so I improvised and slid a punched circle behind the charm and added the glitter to just the exposed section. Sometimes mistakes are what I like best about an art project! 

I printed the rose background paper from Miss Cutiepie Inspiration and Freebies Blog she has a lot of wonderful freebie images! Cardstock, ribbon and glitter is from Stampin' Up. I used Distress Ink in Antique Linen to ink around all the edges of the papers and cardstock. I love the little peace charm. I have had them in my collection for years, do not remember where I got them. I love doing the artist trading cards they are fun little pieces of art! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful day  :-)

Pinwheel Birthday Card




My inspiration for this pinwheel card came from the May 2011 Card Marker Magazine Page 18.  I used Stampin' Up's 1 1/2" Scallop Square punch for my pinwheels.  The pattern papers are from My Mind's Eye Stella Rose Collection - Hazel Papers 6x6 pad.  The buttons and cardstock are Stampin' Up.   

Thanks for stopping by!

A day without....


I have been really trying to concentrate on 10 minute or less cards here lately.  I am in the process of creating a series of note card sets for a fundraiser and I need 200 + cards, therefore I need nice and simple cards that still look great! This is a classic example of just that!

This is a great image from Unity Stamps!  It could be a day without friends, sisters, or drinks is a day lost! So many meaning with this one! I used Stampin Up papers and inks. Lighting is bad, but the pinks, reds and browns really look great together!

I love how this card turned out, U used all Stampin Up inks and papers.  The glitter in the flower adds a little extra bling!

Birds and Bows





It has been a few months since I have blogged.  I have been slacking big time.  What will 2011 bring? Only time will tell, but I hope that 2011 will bring much joy and laughter to everyone!

This is a cute card I made for a swap.  I used the Stampin' Up set Elements of Style, the hummingbird is so sweet, reminds me of my parents who used to feed them so they could sit and watch their beauty from the kitchen and dinning room windows.  The Old Olive and Soft Suede make for a pretty color combination.  All inks, papers and ribbon are Stampin' Up!
