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!

Fa La La and Merry Christmas to All

I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I also wanted to thank you all for visiting me, for all the lovely comments, your support and friendship during the short time I have been blogging. It is very comforting knowing such caring people really do exist. Wishing you and your families all a festive joyous holiday season. I will return after the New Year and have already decided it will be a better year:) I started my countdown to the New Year months ago!

I thought I would share my this year's Christmas tree thanks to Kathy! Knowing I had not planned on putting one up this year she had this one shipped to me and the best part is it's live and can be planted in the spring outside.

One last share before I sign off and get packing. Here is a card I made for a swap (no peeking Cin!) using one of my favorite clothing Lasting Impressions template.

Quick Holiday Card #4

Hello,here is another quick card I created this weekend. This one like the first one was made from the Hampton Art stamp set that I picked up for cheap over the weekend at Michael's. The double sided cs is called "Mistletoe Kisses" and from the Webster, winter wonderland collection. I stamped the word on ivory stock then cut the ornament out to display reverse paper. This card is 4 3/4" squared.

With the help of muscle relaxers, and lots of ice my leg is on the mend today. A little stiff and sore but I can walk almost normal.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative evening.
