A Love-ly Tree

Just dropping in to share another card created in the wee hours. This one also uses several Lasting Impression templates and card stock. I like switching up templates (like the tree) and using them in different ways to get a whole different look. The DP used for the heart tree is from a bargain bag Kathy picked up for me at her local scrapbook store all other paper is LI.

I think it has finally stopped snowing here for a bit after snowing all day and leaving my area with a good 18" since last night.

Enjoy your evening and thanks for popping in.

Love You!

Good Morning, unable to sleep last night and not wanting to watch another infomercial I decided to mosey into my craft room and put some of my energies to use. This is the first of several cards I created as a result. I have had the arrow template from Lasting Impressions for some time and decided to incorporate it into this design. All cardstock and templates are Lasting Impressions. I distressed and inked the edges using Colorbox "dune and brown" inks.

Enjoy your Saturday. I should be back later with more since we are snowed in. Ole' man winter decided to dump about a foot of snow on us since 6:00 last night and more on the way.

Thanks for dropping in!

Cute Valentine

Today's post will have to be short, I have a super headache but still wanted to share another image that Kathy bought for me. I don't recommend using Lasting Impressions paper with copic markers. It took me a few different times coloring with my Copics markers before getting a 1/2 way decent colored image. I did not want to go with solid white paper though. Does anyone know of a off white paper that works well with Copic markers?

Supplies:Stamps: By Nina Aslund for October Stamps, My Favorite Thing, Stampendous

Papers:Lasting Impression, Scenic Route, polka dots (unknown) swiped it from Kathy's stash

Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: clear embossing powder, Buttons Scenic Route, pop dots, clear glue, Copic Markers, White paint pen.

Have a fantastic morning and thanks for stopping by.

Some Monkey Lovin'

Good Evening despite feeling like crud, caught a bug on the plane I think. I managed to finish a card I started while visiting Kathy. She surprised me by ordering me a ton of stamps from October Stamps when she ordered hers and gave them to me for Christmas. I just think this monkey is the cutest lil guy and perfect for paper piecing.

Supplies:
Stamps: By Nina Aslund for October StampsPapers:White CS, DP by Bo Bunny and Scenic Route
Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black
Accessories: Button Scenic Route, pop dots, Copic Markers, White paint pen, Heart eyelets, wording and flowers (gifts) unknown, Ribbon Michaels, thread (blue & red), sewing machine.

Have a wonderful evening and thanks for stopping by. I am off to nurse this fever some more.

Joy

I know this card is a little late but one of my New Year's resolutions is never to send out another yucky store bought card again. This is my attempt at getting a head start on next year. I also wanted to share a "find" I picked up while in Utah. Kathy saw the paper as ugly while I saw it as having potential for a QUICK card make:) The paper was marked down and is intended to be used to print invitations using a print program of some sort. It is called "Starlight" by Faux Designs and is pre-embossed by adding a bit more embossing using some Lasting Impressions templates and a little stitching, you can whip these up quickly. I am opting for the horizontal one as my favorite. One sheet will make two card fronts.


Thanks for stopping by and have a terrific evening.

Happy New Year

After spending a fabulous Christmas in Utah with Kathy and SIL I arrived home 50 lbs. heavier then I left! Kathy was the perfect enabler she obliged me by taking me to every scrapbook/hobby store you could think of. I found all sorts of things I couldn't live without. I struggled to get the box from the baggage area to the pickup zone. Does anyone feel sorry for me? I know my brother didn't when I made him unload it from the car:) . When he asked me what was in the box and I told him, his eyes just rolled!

I also gained about 10 physical pounds thanks to Kathy's baking skills and her lemon pistachio cookies. I guess my resolution for the New Year will be to go on a diet.

While waiting for them to wakeup one morning, I decided to create a Birthday card for sis using some of her stash. Determined to make it bolder and brighter then my normal dull colors. I came up with this color scheme but could not quite figure out how to finish it off until she joined in and found this perfect ribbon in her stash.

Welcome to a NEW year!
