A Few More Cards...

I got to sit and play for a few more minutes tonight. Cut out some peices for the ladies to put together... It was a very productive night. And no headache, so that helped a little!

By far my favorite!!! Love the colors!!! (jumping up and down squealing and clapping)

Another update to a previous card. I actually think that I like this one better!

This card is actually one I really love. This is Nature's Silhouette stamp set, Kraft Cardstock, and Chocolate Chip ribbon.

This card is using the new Forest Friends, Warm Words, Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip, and Pink Pirouette cardstock and ink.

This is an update to an earlier post.

I like it better with the Night of Navy behind the tree.

A manly card...

A Few More Cards!

I love this Inspired by Nature set, it's still one of my favorites. I can make a beautiful card and it doesn't have to be an insane amount of work, and it still looks nice! This is with Baja Breeze CS and ink and Whisper White CS and ribbon. I stamped the saying a little crooked, but I think it would still work!

I decided to make my pictures just a tad bigger. I couldn't even see the details anymore. That's pretty bad, even with my glasses! This is using Urban Garden DSP, the Top Note die, Baja Breeze CS, Night of Navy CS, Whisper White CS, and Night of Navy ink.

A closer view...

These may be a little small... I am going to miss the Doodle This set so much. It was so simple and cute... I guess it's my style, a little bit of a spaz...

Another fun card...

I've been playing with the Big Shot, and let me tell you, I have plans in the very near future to make one of these mine... I really like this card, not only because it's simple and pretty, but it was SO easy to do. Especially with the Big Shot. I used Very Vanilla, Always Artichoke and Chocolate Chip. I'll have to look up the name of the embossing peice for the Big Shot, but the other die was the Top Note die.

Simple Cards to Share

Tonight I was getting ready for a 10 for $10 and I thought I'd share some of the cards. They may not be the final draft that everyone else gets to see, but you get to see these! I got the upcoming catalog a couple of days ago and I am happy to announce that I absolutely LOVE it! There are several sets in it that I may not be able to live without, and some new beautiful papers! And I'm a huge fan of the new In-Colors. Well, enjoy the pics, and feel free to share your opinions.

My favorite card so far, I may add another embellisment or another layer, but I just love it! I used Very Vanilla cardstock, Bella Bleu DSP and Kraft cardstock with Not Quite Navy. Maybe I'll add that layer of NQN cardstock below the tree... Hmm... Just thinking while I type!!!

I like this version slightly better. I am trying to keep these cards simple, I'm getting ready for my 10 for $10, and some gals have had experience making cards and some have not, so simple is always good. I love this set, but I need to figure out another color to incorporate. I just haven't put my finger on it yet!

I'm not sure if I like this version of my Ocean Commotion card. I'll upload the one that I like better and you can tell me what you think. It's a lot of Tempting Turquoise on one card.

I love this set, Fifth Avenue Florals, and I tried to make a slightly different color choice than I normally do, but apparently they kind of muddle together. I used Chocolate Chip, Mellow Moss, and Perfect Plum on Ivory. I'm usually a Whisper White kind of a gal, but I'm trying to branch out...

Father's Day Card

Frustration...

I got the Ocean Commotion set a couple of weeks ago, I totally fell in love with it in the catalog and now that it is in my hands I cannot for the life of me make it look fabulous! Below I have a couple of cards that I am trying to case, mine will be in Tempting Turquoise, like the first card. (Thanks to Aimee M. for making awesome cards!) I am just not getting a result that I am "in love with." I'm actually not even getting a result that I'm in like with!!! I'm panicking. I have a 10 for $10 on the 27th and I really wanted to use this set, but we'll see if it happens!

Finally Back!!!

Okay, I'm posting pictures of cards again. I finally am getting around to posting the pictures of my sisters graduation. I'm starting out slow, but I'll try to get more up sooner than later. I used Basic Black and Pink Pirouette for them and just embossed the images with clear embossing powder. I finished 25 invitations in just under 3 hours. I didn't think that was too bad!

Graduation Invitation

These are the graduation invitations that I made for my sister. For some reason no matter how I took the pictures they came out blurry every time. I had a great time with these invites, and they were fairly easy.
