Finally 5

I'm finally getting around to posting card #5. 

Sorry, it has taken me so long!

Thanks and have a thoughtful Thursday!

Some weekend inspiration

We are on to card number 4!  I just love the colors in this one.  It's not often that I'm able to pull off a good girlie card.  While this one doesn't have any frills, it still has that feminine look to it.

We are still cruising through the alphabet at other lovelies.  Come over and take a peek!  You may just find some inspiration there too!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Third card - same set

Here is another card from last week's card class.  It is the third of five coming from that same lovely valentine set.

 

I think this little deer is so cute.  He can easily be used for any type of card.  He is stamped in burnt umber and then his little foal dots are colored in with a white gel pen.  It's all just CAS.

If you're looking for a fun challenge, other lovelies is traveling through the alphabet.  Pop over and check us out!

Have a thoughtful Thursday!



A few birthday cards!

Here are a few birthday cards that I recently completed.  The second and third are from a sketch that I just turned a different direction.  All supplies are from THE ANGEL COMPANY.

This first one, I thought would work for masculine or feminine.

This one would be a good younger boy card.

The last one could be any aged girl! 

Feel free to email me with questions!

Have a t-rrific Tuesday!

Easter is...

on my mind.  I keep thinking that Spring Break always falls on Easter Week.  We seem to always be away from home.  My boys have only really hunted for eggs a few times.  Of course, they are much to old for that now.  I just miss them being little.  I'm reminded much to FREQUENTLY that they will soon be off to college and out of the house.  Makes me lonely!  Sorry, I'm over the maudlin stage now!

On to the reason you're here, I made another Easter card!  Thought you might like to see it.  TAC's Tutti Fruitti paper collection makes me think spring.  So, I've been using it a lot lately.  I'm sure you'll all be tired of it soon.  For now, it's what you get!

My third Easter card!  Tons more to go but it's a good start!

Thoughts?

More hoarding therapy

I'm still in hoarding therapy!!  Surely, you remember my other lovelies challenge regarding this dreadful addiction that many crafters have succumbed to (did I spell that right?)  Anyway, I promised that I would use more of my stuff up before the challenge ended.  Well, the due date is just hours away!  Thus far, I've made 9 cards.  That's really not too bad considering what life has thrown at me this past week.  I would have liked to have completed more but I'm seriously not going to complain.

Today Tonight, I had been thinking about my best pal in the world.  You know the one who listens to everything you say and then gives you the best advice (no matter what!)  Well, she loves fleur-de-lis'(hmmm, maybe another misspelling).  Anyway, this card is for her!

BTW, the items hoarded are ribbon and the charm!  I bought that charm to make cards for her 2 years ago and finally, finally it made it to the card.  That's not to say I haven't sent her cards!  The charms just never made it on any of them!!!  Everything except the ribbon and charm are from TAC. 

I know that typically that beautiful orange is for fall but my pal's Abigirl will just love it!!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday!!

Asian not so Gothic

I tried really hard to come up with something for the Haunted Design House challenge this week.  I'm just not very good at dark/gothic type cards.  Mine all end up being cutesy! 

The paper is called 'zen garden'.  I believe that fulfills the Asian part.  You'll have to decide if any of them are dark or gothic!

Here they are:

I used several sets from TAC to make these.  The green card is with simply divine, butterfly swirls, good timber, and I think the other is spring flowers.

The good timber probably fits the 'dark/gothic' best.  So, here is a picture of it by itself.

Boy oh boy, I've really been working on the paper hoarding.  Check out other lovelies to learn more about what I'm referring too.

Hope your Saturday is superb!

Wow!

My first card class of the new year was the biggest yet!  I'm exhausted!  It was too much fun!  Today's class was all about Valentine's!  On Wednesday, I had a total of 9 to get ready for.  By Wednesday night, I had 11.  Luckily one was a kit because I ended up with another!!  Now, I have to go back and cut the kit again but hey-it was so much fun!  For the first time ever, I had 2 guys join in the cardmaking festivities.  They were 17 or 18 and can I tell you they were supremely creative!  I wish I would have thought to take pictures of their creations and compare them to my originals.  I was so busy my head was spinning!  Unfortunately I didn't think of it until I sat down to send this out to all of you for weekend inspiration.  They were good sports and great out of the box thinkers.  Thanks go out to Kelsey for inviting them.  Oh, and did I tell you about my new friend?  She saw me shopping in the M...store, asked what I was using all that ribbon for and the rest is history.  She joined us tonight and I think she may join us on future ocassions as well.

So, this is what we did:

I will post individual picture along with a supply list daily this coming week.

Guess what else?  I'm a glutton for punishment.  I'm helping my friend Amanda next week.  She teaches 6th grade social studies and also picked art to teach as an elective for the kids.  Every day next week, I will spend her art hour teaching the kids a different Valentine card!!!!  Thankfully she stays in the class and keeps them under control.  I just teach the techniques.  Phew!

Finally, I want to remind you to check out my Thoughtful Thursday challenge.  There is a prize!

Have a wonderful weekend!
