Birthdays and Donuts
Mmm…… donuts. Oh, hi everyone! Don’t mind me, I’ve had donuts on the brain ever since I came up with the idea for this card 😉 My dad has had more birthdays that he would care for, but definitely not as many donuts as he’d like, so I’m thinking this birthday card will bring a […]
With Sympathy
OK, I am still rocking the color combo I used on my last card, and I used the scraps from that card to make this one. Sweet, right? Fortunately, I don’t have an immediate need for a sympathy card… just wanted to make one to have on hand if ever needed. Last time my hubby […]
It’s Your Day
Today’s first card was inspired by the challenges at Just Us Girls (for the color combo) and Mojo Monday (for the sketch). What an easy sketch to work with! I have 2 birthday cards I need to be working on, and I’m not sure this will get used for either one, but I was aiming […]
Birthday Blast
It’s the 1st challenge of 2014 at Fusion Card Challenges. Their concept is totally cool… they provide both a sketch and photo inspiration… you choose to use the sketch, or the photo, or a fusion of both! Fun, right? Check out what I had to work with and what I came up with: OK, […]
Happy New Year… take 2!
Does this look familiar? No, its not either Groundhog Day or that you are seeing the same card as yesterday. OK, so it bears a close resemblance! When I printed off this cute little pre-colored digi and papers by Doodle Pantry, I did it a couple times in different shapes and sizes. The 1st you […]
Happy New Year!
OK, so I’m about a week late with this greeting. That’s OK. My friends and family come to expect this from me 😉 So no one will mind getting a Happy New Year card from me mid-January! See folks… set their expectations low and they are pleasantly surprised when I’m only a week late! Ha! […]
Birthday Affirmations
Today’s card is a birthday card for my spunky sister in law. Her style is quite different from my own (I’m boring) so I struggle making cards for her. I think she’ll enjoy this funky paper by Studio Calico from the Here + There 6×6 pad that I just got. I love that it has […]
Merry Christmas Sharon! (and everyone else too!!!)
Today’s card is the one I sent my BFF. She deserves something much more elaborate with layered die cuts, inking, embossing, coloring with Promarkers, or a special technique like Liquid Applique, Smooch, or at least Stickles. Alas, time and mojo are both in limited supply. What I lacked in technique I hopefully made up for […]
3D Reindeer
I’m pleased to announce that all my presents are wrapped, all the Christmas cards mailed, and all the cookies baked. Whoo-hoo! OK, I had help from my awesome hubby to get the last of the presents wrapped yesterday, but I did everything else myself. With 2 whole days before Christmas with no lingering to-do list, […]
Sketch N Stash Challenge
I’ve been pumping out the Christmas cards this week! Nothing like waiting for the last minute 😉 Today’s card is for the daughter of my best friend… the niece I never had. I was at a loss for a design, so it helped tremendously to use a sketch. I loved the current sketch from Sketch […]
A Dustin Pike Christmas
I made a cute little card for my dad using a handful of Dustin Pike images. If you haven’t checked out his store or his blog before, you should cause he has the sweetest, light hearted images. My dad could really use a happy, light hearted card around the holidays, so I try not to […]
Using Up the Stash challenges
Wow… 2 cards in 1 day. I either found my mojo again or I just work better under pressure! Pretty sure its the pressure… Ha!!! I needed a quick Christmas card for my hairdresser, and this has her name all over it! Following the sketch at Sketch and Stash, it came together fairly quick too. […]
White on White with a Splash of Green
Today’s card was inspired by the current challenge over at Love to Create, white on white with a splash of green. A peek at the inside: I knew I wanted to do a snowflake card when I saw the […]
Christmas Advent Calendar
Today I’d like to share an advent calendar I made for my son. This baby is a substantial size… about 11″ x 11″. It was created from a Lori Whitlock file available on the Silhouette online store. And while there were a couple curses muttered under my breath during the construction of the frame, […]
A Deconstructed Halloween
If you’ve read my blog for any length of time (like, the last 30 days) you would know that my BFF and I are big fans of the card sketches at DeconstructingJen.com and use her archive to pick sketches we like. Then we each whip up a card for whatever occasion we have a need for. […]
Are You Out of Your Gourd?
Hope you’re not tired of Halloween cards cause I have a few more up my sleeve! This one is perfect for a friend who has somehow talked me into a Cross Fit class. Maybe I’m the one out of my gourd because I actually agreed 😉 The image is another of Elizabeth Dulemba’s coloring […]
Steampunk Halloween Card
Back for a 2nd post today… whoo hoo! Just wanted to share the steampunk card I made for my son for Halloween. He’s been on a steampunk / industrial kick for a few months so I thought he’d totally appreciate the style of this card: The steampunk ghost and ghost hunter / explorer are […]
Happy Halloween!
Today I have a 3D project to share… a spooky little something I made for my son: The cut file is a freebie from Bird at Bird’s Cards, and was cut on my Silhouette. The file was a breeze to work with and assemble. I really wanted to fill the eye cavities with small, black rhinestones, […]
Karate Master
I whipped up a quick card today… it was so nice to get back to crafty fun after last week’s busy schedule. It took more time to glue this card together than it did to get all the pieces ready! The adorable spiderweb image comes from TiffanyDoodles and the hysterical sentiment is one of my […]
Tickle your funny bone
I was just playing around tonight with some Halloween digital stamps and this card came together really quickly: The skeleton is a coloring page from Elizabeth Dulemba subtly shaded with Promarkers, and the sentiment is from Create with TLC. I cut the sentiment and its layer on a label shape from the Silhouette store. The […]
