Special Day

Hi!  I told y'all I might be back with another card and I did manage to get another one done tonight. This will be my last for tonight.  My hubby should be home in about an hour and we are headed to Walmart.  What does that say about the thrilling life I lead?  My daughter does away for the night and we go to Walmart for dog food.  LOL. 

The card I got made uses two of my favorite colors, purple and green.

 I think it turned out pretty cute.  I love that little bird.  He has such a sweet face.

I appreciate y'all taking the time to stop and see what I have been creating and to leave me some love.  Have a wonderful night and God bless.

Besties DT Entry

Happy Monday.  Can you believe this is the last week of January already?  The first two weeks of the month were really rough, but last week wasn't too bad and I'm believing for this week to be great. 

I am apply to the Bestie's 3D Decoupage team and this is the entry that I created using the sheet that I was sent.

I think she's adorable.  

After fussing cutting all the pieces out, I inked around all the edges with Distress Ink Tea Dye. She's put together with small pop dots.  They are only 1/4" thick so she's not huge.  I made her into a birthday tag and used two different Stampin' Up stamp sets, two SU Ink pads, some gems and a charm.

Thanks so much for stopping by and keep your fingers crossed for me. :)  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Happy Birthday

Well, I am so glad to see ya back.  I hope you like the card I have for you to see tonight.

I started this card with a yellow 6x6 card base from Colorbok. The image is from Sherry Baldy.  This is the first one that I have used.  I am finding more and more digital stamp artist that I am just falling in love with.  If I had to pick a favorite, I just couldn't.

I used my Neenah card stock and BIC markers to color this image.  I am still loving the Neenah.  As a matter of fact, I order some more today.  After coloring the image, I trimmed it down, rounded the corners and inked them with DI Vintage Photo before matting them on a panel of turquoise card stock from Recollections.  I rounded the corners of that panel also.  The DP is from Nicoles.  I am thinking that I got it at AC Moore for $1 per package.  There were 12 sheets in each package and there were five different sets.  I stocked up. :)  I made this card into a Z fold card with my little girl on the Z part and hanging over onto the inside of the card.  The sentiment and label are from Gina K Designs Labeled with Love.  I cut it out with scissors and inked the edges with Vintage Photo.  I added the same DP on the inside and then added a panel of white from SU for writing a greeting. The gems are from Queen and Co. and just kind of set it off.  That cute little rose brad in the corner is from The Paper Studio.  

Thanks so much for taking the time out to come see what I have been up to.  Have a blessed night.
