Smell the Flower

I saw this card here and loved it! So I decided to try and make it. I don't think that I did it justice but will try again sometime. I am enjoying being able to craft a little more these days. The reason being is I took this semester off except for the CNA class. This class is the last one I need before the actual nursing classes.

Anyway I hope you enjoy the card.

Stamps: PTI-Beautiful Blooms II, Sentiment Vintage Picnic Sentiments, Polka Dots Basic

Autumn Abundance

Hello again! I am trying to post more often and now that I have found away of getting around not finding my digital camera, you should see me posting more often. Today's cards is one of my favorites. When I saw this set, I just instantly fell in love with it. I love the Fall season all the colors and the chilly, crisp nights! Makes me wish I had a fireplace in my house!

I colored the image with my Copics, I don't remember the colors at this point and cut the image out with my Nestibilities. My Cardstock was Bazill with the Designer paper being Memory Box, I also added on some lace that I picked up at a garage sale. The sentiment is also PTI but the little banner was from a Martha Stewart stamp set that I purchased at Michael's

Thanks for looking!!!

Notebook

I know it has been awhile since I have last posted, but I put my camera away somewhere safe and I can't find it! I am sure I am not the only one that has done this, so I have had to find another way to upload my photo's. So what I have done is uploaded them to Facebook then have saved the pictures and I am trying to upload them to my blog.



Here's hoping it works! I visit several blogs and on one I noticed that she often altered notebooks and I thought I would give it a try. So I did 2 of them. One I put the cover on wrong, but by then it's to late, so the second one was the way it was supposed to be! Live and learn. I really liked how they came out and gave each of the girls one. I see Sarah using hers, but not Faith...hmmmm. Anywho, here they are. Was thinking of making a few more and trying to sell them for like $8-$10 a piece, what do you think?

The other one I made was done in pink.

Cardstock is Papertrey Ink

Stamps: Papertray Ink-Turning a New Leaf, Background Basic-Textile I and Take Note

Designer Paper: My Mind's Eye Home

Ribbon: Papertray Ink

These are the only worms I will touch!

Ok, so I can't find my digital camera, but I am going to try and upload a picture of one of my cards from my Facebook account. It is a card I made a little while ago for Craig. I saw the stamp and knew I just had to get it! Plus it's great for masculine cards.

The Cardstock is PTI as well as the patterned paper. Stamps are DRS Designs, and I used a lot of different Copic colors. This was a lot of fun to color and I really like the way it came out. Let me know what you think!. Oh the paper behind the sentiment is Memory Box Co. I have been stamping quite a bit and will add more pics later of what I have done.

Today I am working on Christmas gifts, I love working with paper and making something personal and not store bought!

Sympathy Card

I have never had to make a Sympathy Card since I started stamping maybe a little over a year ago. Unfortunately I have a friend who's mother died. I tried something new-watercolor paper. I have to say it was kind of fun and interesting to try this. I have always liked the look so I thought I would give it a try! So here it is.

Stamps: PTI Vintage Picnic, Guidlines II

Paper: PTI Sweet Blush, Bitty Boxes Dark Chocolate and Summer Sunrise

Card 2 for Mom and Dad

Well, I am trying to send at least one card to my mom and dad a month. This card uses the stamp set from Papertray Ink, Life. I loved what I saw the designers do with this set, but I just can't seem to "work it" like they do. So here is what I came up with.



All in all I kinda like the card....not one of my all time favorites, but at least I got in there and worked with this set. Trying to use it more and more.

Snail Mail

Here is a card that I sent to my mom and dad. Granted it is a more girly card but I like it just the same. I used Papertrey Ink Vintage Picnic and colored it with Copic markers. Sure wish someone in my area would teach a class using these!!! I also used the Polka Dot basics stamped in New Leaf. I seem to be famous for making cards but not sending them. Trying to get out of that habit. LOL
