You're Sweet Card


I made this card with paper from the Sweet Stack DCWV -- I just love this cherry paper and think it was my last piece. The cherries and leaf were cut from the Home Decor cart. I cut one bigger than the other so the would nest together better and just stickled the heck out of them! The ribbon is red grograin from SU!
I hope to get some scrapping in this weekend, but I do have to clean for Easter company!

Bunny Card


I made this card using the bunny from Doodlecharms. I just think he's so cute! I didn't have a good Happy Easter stamp before I made this (now I do) so I just used a Hello stamp (again). I cut a purple shadow for the bunny, chalked the ears, used marker on the whiskers & mouth and stickled his pink cut out nose. The paper was from DCWV, I think.Helen

Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge 25 -- Bee Card


I made this card for the Peachy Keen Stamps challenge. I used the Paisley cartrige again--I just love this one. I cut the bee at 3 inches and the separate flower at 1 1/2 inches. I used vellum for the bee's wings. The ribbon is American Crafts and I used a Martha Stewart punch.

Fabulous!

A few weeks ago I won a $30 Custom Crops gift card from a blog hop. (Thanks again!) It was Donna at: http://http://donnamundinger-popsicletoes.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-03-15T00%3A56%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=12

You should visit her over there--she does some great work!!

I ordered the Paisley Cartridge with my certificated and couldn't wait to play!

The turtle and the phrase both came from the cartridge. I stickled the word, cherries, cheeks and eyes. I used the swiss dot folder on the pink cardstock and used pop dots for the turtle. This card totally looks better in person--I really need a new camera! This card is for my daughter to give to her friend at a party today.

Crazy Days

Well, I had such good intentions to post a little more regularly. I don't know what I was thinking since it's soccer season!

I won the Mother's Day Seasonal cartridge from Jenn at http://http://www.jennsscrapbooknook.com/ She has a wonderful blog and where I learned about the Posh Box (the company that did my blog makeover). So I hope to play with that and post some things from that.

I also have the Paisley cartrige on the way from Custom Crops. I can't wait to play with it!!

I did make 2 scrapbook pages this week and need to get some decent pictures before I can post those. But, it's a busy week and I just won some advance tickets to see The Last Song on Thursday night. I'll have to post and let you all know how it is!

Hope to post some creations soon!!
