A Friend Moved......

Hi Everyone! 
My dear Friend wanted me to make her a card for a Co-worker that had moved away a short while ago...and she misses working and having her to talk with everyday!! 
Yes they talk and email but a card is just a little special... I love getting something in the mail other than a bill and all the Junk-mail!!!
Here's a close up of the front.....

and this is the whole front.....

and here's the inside...
As always I hope when I make a card for someone else I want them to like it as much as I do.... and most of the time they like them more...!

Here's what I used;
  • Card Size closed / 3.5 x 6.25
  • Papers/ Creative Memories, Canson Watercolor 140-lb
  • Inks & Pens & Coloring/ Close to my Heart- sponge with, Memento-Rich Coco for the front image to color

  • Stamps / CTMH-Around the Block D-1377
If you like what you see and would like one for yourself or as a gift just E-mail me, leave a comment or visit my Etsy shop (see upper right)!!
Or become a Follower either on Blogger or by Email so you don't miss my next creation.

Does my Butt Look Big?

Yes, that is the question I asked for this weeks Color Throwdown-184???
These are just beautiful colors to work with too.....

Ok, here's the compleat question......????????

I say NO! I think it's a cute little butt!!!
Sorry my picture is a little washed out. Can't seam to get a good pic anymore...
If you look closely at the background paper you'll see it's honey cones.... just a little play with paper there...

and you know I had to fix up the inside too.....
But all in all this was a really FUN card for me....
I just love using Rubberneckers stamps, there always FUN!!!
Now that ribbon was a real fine from willlll, now that I'm thinking about it, I think it's been 3 or 4 years ago and don't think the store is open anymore.... bought it by the yard so don't have a name.. but it's just really cute!
I used GellyRoll clear star's on the wings and stinger, made it look sheer and sparkly too... but you can't see it in my dreadful pic...
and used black arond all the edges to make all the layers stand out.
Here's what I used;
  • Card Size closed / 4.25 x 5.5
  • Papers/ Creative Memories, SU, and DCWV- Linen Closet stack
  • Inks & Pens & Coloring/ Close to my Heart- Black to sponge with, and Bamboo on the inside, Memento-Tuxedo Black for the front image to color, and SU-Watercolor Crayons for my coloring.
  • Misc./ Ribbon-stash,
     Will that's it!

Mom's Mother's Day Card

Hi Everyone!
I know I'm EARLY but want to show you the card I made my Mom for Mother's Day.
It's one of the Calenders I've been making but for hers I put in all the family dates and there's still plenty of room for her to add others too!
You know me I had to fancy up the front....
and here's a closer look.......

And the inside.... I did the hanger part a little different here. 
I left the calender part lose from the fold down so I could write a message under it...
Like the Springy look of this one, and know she will too!! (you know Mom's love everything we do)

New Tab!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone!
Today I made a New Tab at the top of my blog, named "Made in the USA".
In here I posted an Excel Document that you can click on to make BIG, but can't click on the links... :(
Sorry!!
Check it out, I found it very interesting as I worked my way thru these companies over the several months and was pleasantly surprised at times.  And other times not so much so....
But it's here for you to use as you like.
I plan on keeping it up to date as much as possible.
If you have any suggestions please let me know.
