You are loved card

I want to make something everyday, which is fun but I find myself overthinking (can you smell the smoke)...Anyhoo....onto today's card.....

This is a standard A2 size card (4.25 x 5.5). I used cordinations paper. I also used the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge (say that 5 times fast). I used a scallopped border punch and inked the edges with TH distress inks. I completed the card with a knot and some pearls.

Until next craft!

Long time.....no see....or hear....or crafts

It has been so long since I have posted anything on this blog! I have to admit that I went through a dry spell. "They" say that every artist goes through one but my was especially long.  I tried to make cards and what nots recently and ended up in the trash because it wasn't "perfect". But what is perfect anyway? I looked at my past scrapbooking and cardmaking magazines for inspiration.  I decided to go to my craft and sit there, think, and make something. I promised myself that I wouldn't throw away anything that I made and I would post pictures....

The first card is a card lift from "Creating Keepsakes" magazine. I can't tell you the month/year of the issue because I tear my pages out of the magazine and put them in a binder. The papers are DCWV and the "You're beautiful inside and out" stamp is from....I don't know....it was in my "friends" stamp bin. I used TH distressing inks and I used my polka dot cuttlebug folder for the embossing. I also used fiskars scallopped edge punch And a brown bow for the finishing touch
The card is a 9x4 inch card and will fit in a legal size 10 envelope.

The next card is a smaller A2 size card (4.25x5.50) I used TH distressing inks, Cuttlebug folder (polka dot), DCWV paper (the friends panel) I used the Cricut "lacy labels" for the frame in the back. The same stamp for my stamp bin and a pink bow on the side for an added touch.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope I can hear your comments. I am always encouraged by them but besides, a girl loves to feel love, ya know~

Until next craft

Lucky

I have a friend who's job is, at time, stressful but so rewarding. She is awesome at being a mother. She is a great friend and I laugh constantly when I am in her presence. Her sense of humor is 2nd to none.  I am lucky to have her as a friend and proud she is part of a wonderful alliance called, MOTHERHOOD




This is a close up of the new Domino Cuttlebug folder. I used a brayer and rolled Black Staz On and then sent it thru the CB. I love how the dominos stand out! I also used the polka dots folder as well.

I get by with a little help from my friends (and family)

I wanted to thank some a few special people that have done a lot with their kind, but stern words that were and are much needed.

This card is an "S" fold card. There is a wonderful tutorial done by the fabulous Mary at Cardz TV.

I wanted to use bright and cheery colors. The saying is:
"The task ahead of us is never as great as the power behind us."



The next two cards, I got the idea from the "Just Because" Cricut Cartridge. I didn't have the room to cut out the sentiment from the cart so I computer generated instead. I also used the Herring Bone CB folder, inks. The truck is cut out of the black/white cordinations paper and sanded.





Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time.
