Toad-ally Fabulous!!!

Happy New Year everyone.  I made this super quick card for the daughters of one of my good friends.  We spent the day with them yesterday, playing, laughing and just enjoying each other's company.  The girls gave our kids Christmas gifts and I thought it would be great if we made them a very simple card.  I used Create-A-Critter.  The toad is cut at 3 1/2".  Enjoy!

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone from my family to yours. 

Hoping 2011 is filled with love, blessings and prosperity for us all!

God Bless You!

A Special Card for my sis

I know it's been a few days since my last post.  I've been super busy.  I had a large order for cards for a 75 year birthday.  I made some more Christmas cards and I wanted to share this very special card.  One of my creative inspirations is Dorcas at 4 Crafty Angels.  She has an incredible name, right?

She had a great idea for this card using the Sweethearts cartridge.  I simply changed the colors and used it for my sis for Christmas.  I used Crystal Gel for the helmet and shoes to give them more texture and I embossed the sentiment which is Stampin Up. 

Dee has a Jazzy that helps her get around and we played chicken at Target the other day (she won)...and this card was just perfect.  If you want to see Dorcas's card click here.

Christmas Card Marathon

I know.  I know.  I should have started this long ago...but I just couldn't get around to it. There was nothing coming into my head.  Luckily, I found some inspiration and came up with some cute cards.  They are cut from Winter Frolic, mostly.  I want to do some others, but I have business to tend to, so card will have to wait. 

Hope you enjoy!

This card was inspired by Dorcas at 4 Crafty Angels.  She's gooooood!!!!! 

Cute Baby Card

I created this cute baby girl card just for fun.  I used paper I bought at JoAnn's...but I can't remember which one. 

Gabriel's Graduating

My nephew, Gabriel, is graduating from Lee University tomorrow.  He's an amazing young man who has really held it together.  My sister and I will be travelling to celebrate with our older sister and family.  We are so proud of him!  I created these two cards, inspired by Robyn at My Pink Stamper.  :)

the graduation cap is cut at 2 3/4" from the Locker Talk cartridge.  Inspired by Robyn at My Pink Stamper.

Christmas Blog Candy

I came across this great site.  http://texasstampinmamaw.blogspot.com/2010/11/time-for-some-more-blog-candy-just-in.html  She's got a great giveaway!!!  I cannot figure out how to put her on my sidebar.   Hopefully I'll get it soon.  :)

Fruity Weekend with Preserves

I did a lot of work on the Cricut this weekend.  My friend, Jessi, at http://pinadulce.wordpress.com/ wanted me to come up with a pineapple.  I used Preserves to cut this pineapple out.  I also just embellished with Stickles.   Fun!  Jessi loved it!

I also worked with my friend Jenny and my sister-in-law, Saray, on Jenny's baby shower invitations. I used the swirl embossing card from on the cuttlebug, Stampin Up paper (Melon Mambo and Pear Preserves) and cut the watermelon from the Preserves cartridge.  I was inspired by Sizzix. 

Trust in the Lord

One of my favorite Bible verses is Proverbs 3:5-6.  It reads, "Trust in the Lord, with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  But in all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path."  I have a friend who's facing tough times with her mom.  I made her this card to remind her that God is always there.  The sentiment is My Pink Stamper's Faithful Sayings stamps set. Thanks Robyn!!!  :)

Winter Blog Hop

Let me tell you. I have been learning so much over the last couple of weeks. Thanks to my friend, Liz, who explained what a blog hop was in the first place. I have been "hopping" along and getting to know other wonderful ladies.

Today there is a Snowy Winter Blog Hop sponsored by Dorcas at 4Crafty Angels.blogspot.com. She is amazing and everyone else is absolutely awe inspiring!

Sweet Treat Thank You

My friend, Jessi, was kind enough to bake cupcakes for our Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk Open House. I lost my father to complications from this disease on September 3, 2010 and we are all committed to making a difference for future generations. I made this sweet card for Jessi. She loved it!!!

Wedding Card Designs

Love is in the air lately. Weddings are just amazing events these days. I decided to play with a new set of Stampin Up Stamps. This is what I came up with. Gotta LOVE embossing techniques. These can be custom made in any color. Let me know if you're interested.
