Busy, busy...

1. Get well card for a little boy who is in the hospital...

2. Close up of "b" chipboard piece that I daubered on blue ink and then covered with "Waterfall" Stickles.

3. Background is using an embossing folder talking all wonderful things about someone. The flowers are paper flowers I've had for a while and matched up the brads pretty well.

4. Thinking of you is on with some thick pop dots and new ribbon I just bought.

5. I haven't put a saying on the front bottom right area yet... not sure how I want to use this: "thinking of you", "miss you", even "sympathy"... I like having "open ended" cards just in case.

Nurse Teddy Bear, Get Well

I love when my daughter has really long naps... :)


I made this Get Well card for a lady on my stamping group. She had oral surgery and from her two emails, she is not in la-la land. I hope this card will cheer her up.

Although the SU! set is old (1998), it's new to me!

With the small teddy bear, I cut a slit into the large bear and slid the small one thru the slit -- so it looks like she is holding on to it. I also only adhered the small one to the card front using a tiny pop dot. So it's lifted off of the card a bit.

And the bottle of medicine, once I attached it to the card front with a couple of tiny pop dots, I added Crystal Laquer to make the bottle really look like glass.

Butterlies galore...

I just love butterflies. Everything about them.

And I love to stamp them in just black ink on white cardstock... that's it... no color.

How classy are these black and white cards!

When adhering the butterfly, just add a small piece of double stick tape to the center, so when it's adhered to the card front, gently bend up the edge of the wings. So nice.

1. card - Butterfly and saying from Stamp Camp

2. & 3. side views of the raised wings

4. card - same butterfly from Stamp Camp and Thank You is from SU!

The muse is in the house!

1a. I love this "diet" set... here is the outside...

1b. And the inside stamped. :)

2. With heartfelt Sympathy... always a hard card to create but love how this came out. Simply elegant.

3a. Cross... I wished I had this stamp when I was making the invitations for my daughter's Baptism. Silver embossed and it's stunning in person.

3b. Love how the flash from the camera captures the silver...

4. I can't get enough of these silk flowers. Similar to the card below but turned the other direction.

Today's stamped cards...

1. I just love, love, love the Spellbinders BUTTERFLY die... A super quick card.

2. WISH card is using pretty embossed and glittered scrapbook paper.

3. A repeat of card #1 -- did I mention I love this Butterfly die???

4. Thank You card was nice to put together. Silk flowers, an eyelet in the center, 3-D sentiment.

5a. Sorry this one is blurry... Valentine's card. Faux stitching around the heart. Sort of like my real sewing attempts. Not perfect but made with love.

5b. Close up of the faux stitching...

6a. A gift card holder... this was fun to make with a "belly band".

6b. And the gift card open... Note to self: Pay attention to where you place the brads. Any further in and my gift card would not have fit. ;)

Birthday card for my brother

He's a huge Elvis fan and thought, why not a record and sleeve.

The record is a round card that opens up and I used white printer paper so I can write a personal note.

Even the back was detailed with a bar code (stamp). :)

The finished sleeve is 5 1/4" x 5 1/4".

More cards for my friend...

Cards for my friend...

I'm almost finished making the cards a friend has asked me to create... Here they are. I've made several of some and only one of others. I'm really pleased with them all.

Look what I signed up for!!!

I registered today and now I'm going to do it...

I'm going to be at the Bank of America building, Downtown Tampa, on March 21st at 7am to do something I never thought I would do a year ago...

Please check out my page with the link below.

One dollar would put me that much closer to the *minimum* of $100 I need to raise to do this. If you don't want to go thru the secure site, you can send cash or check to me (can make the check to me and I'll make out a lump sum check to the American Lung Association or you can make the check out to them directly.)

If you make the check out to them directly, PLEASE PUT MY NAME - KIMBERLY DAVENPORT - IN THE MEMO LINE ON YOUR CHECK SO I WILL GET THE PLEDGE CREDIT.

I'm not here to be the top fundraiser... meeting the minimum would be just fine. So again, $1 would be fine, $5 would be fine. And if you can't pledge money, please say a prayer for me that I am safe and all goes wonderfully well. :)

I don't know why the above link isn't "clickable" but copy and paste or send me an email and I'll email it to you directly.

Thanks so much if you can help,
Kim
