Get Well Card, Wild Card

Wow, to say I love this cartridge is an understatement! It's very much what I would look for in design. The envelopes actually have personality!!

I made this for a dear friend who was in the hospital and was happy to use a stamp given to me by Kimberly from C.C. Designs for the nurse. The rest is from Wild Card, and the pretty ribbon is perhaps from the Dollar store? Who can remember? Thanks for any comments!

Masculine Birthday Card/ Graphically Speaking.

This cart is a Gem!! First of all, I haven't yet taken advantage of all this cart has to offer, but I highly recommend this oldie-but-goody to anyone who doesn't have it. It's especially appropriate for teens, since it's not so childish. This is a birthday card I made for my son's friend. It was very last-minute, as they always are, but I liked the finished product, and it fit a gift card perfectly! The gear stamp is one of my favorites, from Technique Tuesday. It's also an old set that I love to play with. I welcome comments, so let me know if you like, or if you don't!

Blog Candy / Thank You!

Oops I forgot to mention the ink too! Sorry for the quality of the video. Hollywood studios called and said they needed their cameras back, so what's a girl to do? Thank you for watching and go see Kimberly and say hello!

That's Hot/ From My Kitchen

I had a little trouble with my computer not wanting to get all my pics uploaded :( but here are a couple of the ones I was able to get of this lil' thank you card I made for a sweet friend. It's a punny card, but that's what I was going for. The die cut is the Oven from From My Kitchen. I also used the Cuttlebug and embossed the "HOT" as well as Glaze medium for dimension. The edges are all inked with Tim Holtz ink asn Chalk ink. The paper is My Minds eye, and scraps. I love comments!

Altered Picnic Basket

I was blog-surfing yesterday and came across a beautiful site: http://egenblogg-rantho.blogspot.com. I was so inspired that I had a try at making this pretty little basket. Now my question is what to put in it. Perhaps it will be a place to store ephemera, since it has that look to it. I recycled cardboard as the base, painted it in white acrylic, and since I was going for the shabby-chic look, I dried it with my heat gun. This worked out perfectly and really cut down on time. All the paper is Heidi Grace, and the embellies are assorted. The butterfly is from K& Co. I also used stickles and inked the edges to give it a mossy look. I'd love to know what you think!

Old West/ Room Sign

This is a wall hanging I made for a friend who needed a gift with a western theme. The cuts are from Old West and I used Tim Holtz Distress inks as well as grungeboard. I kept it all monochromatic so that is doesn't clash with the décor she already has. I also used a little felt to give it some texture on the boot and playing cards. I really enjoyed making it and hope she likes it also! TFL!!

Woot Woot!!
