Easy Peasy and a bookmark

Can't much simpler or faster then this... a piece of wallpaper scrap, spray adhesive and cs.



Bookmark going to the hubby... the one he's been using has seen better days. Front and back images. need to find my small tassels and add one to the corner.

Cheers for friends and birthdays

Love my new Cheers border punch... wHether you party like a rock star...

And a birthday card for my dad. I am demo'ing how to create this card in March with my stamping group that I belong.

Some stamping done

Got to make a few cards last night. Bought some great edging punches the other day at a fabulous price. I hope to use the others today (and post).

Quick and easy card with a new stamp.

Bikini Lady and Sock Monkey Party

The bikini lady stamp was given to me by my friend, Shelly... She thought it would look good in my stash. :) As you can see, she fits in nicely and made this card for Shelly as a thank you.

I put Crystal Laquer over the pool water so it really looks cool. Added some cut grass by the sign post that you can fluff the grass up. And Bikini Lady is attached with small pop dots so she is 3-D. Fun, fun.


Sock Monkey is going to a birthday party and so are we later on today. Bethany's friend turns three and we are going to have fun. Added Stickles (glitter) to the hat and cupcake. And the hat is attached with small pop dots so it's 3-D. I hope Kassidy likes her card.

Slacker no... blog neglect yes

I've been busy getting sick (two weeks before Thanksgiving), creating, getting published and a few things I can't post yet. But I have a ton of photos that I will share asap.

Our Thanksgiving was spent in Alabama with my inlaws and extended family and now we slide into the rush of Christmas and all it brings. Got the tree and decorations down from the attic. The tree is up and lit, decorations to follow tomorrow with the help of the princess. :)

I've been making some tags lately -- very much out of my norm! Having fun challenging myself to use what I have and not buy anything else right now. After the holidays, if I have a gift card or two, I will be blowing it all!!

So with that, I hope to post some photos in the next few days of at least a few things I've been working on.

The Girls...

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month... Take the time to get the "girls" checked out and do those self exams.

I believe I posted this a while back but wanted to share again...

A little bit of glitter...

OK, a lot of glitter...
These are all for SPARKLE N SPRINKLE...

With a Spellbinder die, sticker paper, and glitter, turn any card into a picture frame:


A silk sunflower begging to be coated with glue and glitter. Love this in person!



Two more silk flowers and silk leaves that didn't escape the glitter path. :)

2 pretty quick birthday cards

A manly birthday card for hubby's cousin TR.

A multi-step stamping rose birthday card for a friend...

dragonflies and tulips...

Had to make a birthday card and this is what I came up with... Made another one right after since it was a pretty quick card. I love the Stickles on the dragonfly and 3-D wings like she's flying off of the card.




Another quick card with my favorite: tulips and the color purple.
