With Love

Hello.  Welcome to my blog.  I'm so happy y'all could stop by.  It's snowing, again.  I'm tired of the white stuff now.   We are going to hit a heat wave next week though...35 degrees F.  LOL

The card I have for y'all today came out a little blurry.  I took the picture 3 times and it still came out that way.  I think it might have been the shimmery chalk that I used to color the image.

I think this has to be one of the most CAS cards I have done.  I printed out the image from Anonymous Stamps and ran my Versamark pad all over it.  I then took my chalk eyeshadows and colored stripes on the flowers.  I then cut it out with my Marvy Scalloped Heart punch.

Thanks so much for stopping by to see what I have been up to.  I hope y'all have a great day and God bless.

Pink and Purple Birthday Card

Hello friends.  Happy Monday.  It's beginning to snow again here.  Man, I'm so ready for some tropical weather..maybe the Bahamas or at this point Mexico.

Today's card uses lots of pinks and purples.  It's pretty blinged up too.

This is Pip and she's from 


I went to Walmart about two weeks ago and for some reason I went to the children's craft spot.  I found two boxes of gemstones for $4 each.  Each one has about 300 pieces in it.  There are lots of different sizes and even some different shaped ones. They aren't self adhesive, but a bit of Glossy Accents and you're done.

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I hope y'all had a great Monday.  God bless.

Get Well Soon

Hi there.  Welcome to my blog.  The card I made for this post I am giving to my husband.  He is so sick. I hope this makes him feel better and lets him know that I care.

Isn't he a cute little sick bear.  And it fits so well with my husband because all he's been able to eat for the past few days is soup.

I appreciate y'all stopping by my little piece of cyberland today.  Have a wonderful day and God bless.

Horsing Around

Hi there.  I have a birthday card that I made for one of Kierstynne's friends to show y'all today.  She is obsessed with horses.  She is even taking riding lessons now.  Dani loves them.

I decided to go with black and white for this card.  I used the running horse from the Inkadinkado set "Horses".  I inked up the stamp with Versafine Black Onyx ink and stamped it three times without reinking.  This gives the appearance of the horse running across the page.  The sentiment is The Paper Studio "Clearly Speaking".  I added some black and white gingham ribbon and three black rhinestones to finish off the card.

Dani's party was a Thanksgiving morning breakfast and when she saw this card, she had a fit.  Yeah, she loved it.

Thanks for stopping in.  I hope y'all have a great night and keep warm.  God bless y'all.
