Flowers......

Hi Everyone!!
Today I'm posting a card I made at the beginning of May I think but never got around to posting it... When I first made it I was not happy with the colors... but the more I looked at it I grow to love it... So I finished it off a though I would share with you.
I can't remember for the life of me where I got this stamp but for some reason I think it was one I bough from someone that had used it and wanted to sell some off.... 
Anyway I LOVE the large size of it and how it fills the front of the card... the only bad part if you want to call it a bad part is all the coloring it takes, so I don't think I'll be making any sets with this beautiful stamp....  
I first did my coloring and then used the "Grace's Frame" embossing folder, then I just colored between the lines the folder made..... I love this look and got the idea from a VERY talented gal that I just love to visit Leslie blog.  She has changed her life recently but still dose some card and I so enjoy my visits to her blog.
I did not show the inside but I used white and embossed it with the same frame and left it blank so I could use it for anything....

Sweet Birthday Wishes !!!!

Last night I finished up this card that our neighbor wanted for his niece, she's turning 19 I think... so hope this card hits all the right buttons. It's PINK, it's prissy, and it's spunky on the inside too!
You really cant tell but the frosting is done up with Liquid Pearls and then I sprinkled glitter on it while it was still wet.  Looks really good but cant tell from my pics. 
I even stamped a little Cupcake on the envelope too!

Here's a side view so you can see the layers.....

and of course the inside... I just LOVE this saying;

Be the kind of Woman
that when her feet hit the floor each morning
the devil says,
"Oh crap, She's up!"

Thank YOU !

Hi Everyone!


It has been a long time since I have been able to post anything. As I wrote in my last post back in May, my Dad had taken a fall and I was there for him and my Mom thru his healing... Then he took a turn for the worst and passed away on July 2nd. I can only say he was very special to me and though I hate that he's gone I know his suffering is over and with God now. Dad was blind for many, many years and now he is looking down on us and smiling because he can see all of us.
I just cannot say any more......
Today I am posting a group of "Thank You" cards I made, I had no idea how many people would come or send cards and flowers, and I was very surprised!

 If you look closely you can see that I used a different embossing folder on the white background for each card and two different tags too, but all the rest is the same.

Here's a close up of the layering. I popped the white background up and also the tag.

On the inside I made very simple with a new stamp I got from Serendipity Stamps. 

Will that's it for me today.
I hope to be posting regulerly again so hope you come back.
Keep watching!

WOYWW
(What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday)
Every Wednesday Julie Dunnit hosts a gathering of crafters from all over the world to share what they are working on with a pic of our play area. It's really fun to see all the different things people are working on from all over the world and I must say I've meet some very interesting people from Julie's site,
Thanks Julie!!!!!!

Will here's mine for today;
I've been seeing and hearing so much about the Ottlite Lites...I know they've been out for YEARSsssss, and I really did not want to buy another lamp but they had the OttLite Bulbs on sale for 40% off this week at JoAnns.... So I said to myself,,,, Self get a bulb and try it in the lamp you have to take pics for the blog.....

This first pic is with my 100-W GE bulb,,, kind of yellow and just not right......


 This is with the Ottlite 100-W / 25-W bulb...Boy what a difference... I can't believe it.. this is without any touching up at all, I can't believe the difference it made on this test shot....
Will that's it for me today...!

Figs for Mother's Day

Hi Everyone!!
Will I finished my Fig card for Mom's Day so here we go.....
Here's the front and the envelope too in the back.
I stamped my fig on watercolor paper and then colored with watercolor crayons and a Aqua Pen....

Here you can see the extra leaf I colored and cut out, then popped it up I really like how it looks here.
and you can see the Grace's Frame I cut out using a Clear Translucent sheet, it's kind of like velum but much cheaper, I got it at JoAnnes'.

and here's the inside.... again I used the Grace's Frame on but the peach paper and the clear paper... and cut the center part of the frame out of the peach paper and then printed my words on the Clear paper and put it on top... spunged the edges and it's done... Oh and I stamp another little fige that came with the set in the lower left of the clear paper too...
 ... and just a nother shot of the front,,,,
Here's what I used;
  • Card Size closed / 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
  • Papers/ Creative Memories, Canson Watercolor 140-lb, and Letterbox
  • Inks & Pens & Coloring/ Close to my Heart- sponge with, Memento-Rich Coco for the front image to color, and my coloring I use Stampin' Up watercolor crayons and an Aqua Pen. 
  • Stamps / Flourishes- Figs & Pomegranate Set #40, I used the Figs....
