Friendship

Hello ladies! Well today's card is all about Friendship...and that is what we are all developing as we share our designs, ideas and ourselves with each other. I am so glad and blessed to have each and everyone of you in that ring of friendship! This card goes out to each of you with all my heart! The card base design and the sentiment design were both from Penny Duncan. This lady is one phenominal designer...God has blessed her with such a talent and she shares that talent unconditionally with all of us! Penny you are one dear friend! The card base I used was Penny's Oval Inner Scallop Card with Scallop Bottom...I am not certain this was the intended design...I had to size the card to paper that I had..but I do like how it turned out. The sentiment was actually created using a couple of Penny's digital designs that I took into Photshop and played with a little. Below is a close up of the sentiment:

I really enjoyed playing with Penny's files and love how my card came out. And speaking of friendship...yesterday I was one happy camper as I got to spend most of my day with Glitterbabe! We had an awesome time together...and do you see that my card is no longer laying flat on my table when i take pics??? That is because Glitterbabe gave me that holder in the pic! How awesome is that...I am so pleased to finally have one of these to hold my cards for pictures. Well, I will close for today...I am back to playing! I hope your day is wonderful no matter what you are doing. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving me some love.

HUGS!

New Glitterbabe Challenge

Happy Thursday! And welcome to a new Glitterbabe Challenge! Our challenge today is sponsored by Robyn's Fetish...we were given a choice of 4 images to use and the card must contain 2 flowers. Of course I fell in love with the bird image...colored it with copics, added a computer generated sentiment and stippled a little light blue on the background. I used sticker flowers...and yeah there are two flowers on the card...and I also added a sticker butterfly. I used a Martha Stewart punch to punch around the image and mounted it on some SU paper that I had leftover from another project. I am a little disappointed in my card this week...but I will do better next week...some days I am just off! Well I am off to work...thanks so much for coming by to see me...have a fantabulous day.

HUGS!

I am the Resurrection

Oh my goodness...I just had to share this card with you...it is now midnight, I have worked on this for about 2 hours! I am sooooooooo slow in making cards! I absolutely LOVE this sentiment from Squigglefly! This is designed by Roanne Mathias and is simply called Resurrection. Immediately when I got this in my hands, I knew what I wanted to do with it. The shape that I cut out on my cricut is one of Penny Duncan's Shaplies called Open Book...I followed Penny's awesome directions on how to cut AND emboss my shape and then created two more of the same in a little larger size. Tried to get the look of a book....in my mind...the Bible. And the cross is one of Penny's svg files as well. If you have not been out to visit Penny, please do...she is one talented lady and she LOVES flowers! You have got to see those flowers! After stippling my creation with Tim Holtz antique linen distress ink, I matted my "book" on a sheet of white paper that had been embossed with the Linen embossing folder from Paper Trey Inc...I am not sure it shows up well in the pic but in real life it is pretty. Take a hop on over to Squigglefly today and look around...there are so many awesome new releases, I just want them all! Well I hope my card for today inspires you to create. Have a Blessed day and thanks so much for stopping in to see me. I will be by to see each of you later on today.

HUGS!

Although today we have had a nice break in that heat. Well back to my card...I used the Words digi image from Squigglefly as well as the Fancy Buttons digi image. I love how this one turned out...the words paper uses a lot of "friends" type of words so this would be a great friend card! Hop on over to the Squigglefly Challenge Blog to check out what the other DT ladies created...some really HOT cards. And join in the fun!!! Well, back to work!! Have an awesome day today.

Thomas the Train Birthday Card

Hello! I hope everyone is having a great Sunday. Today we are off to celebrate our 3 year old grandson's birthday. He is a big Thomas fan right now and I really wanted to make him a Thomas card. I was lucky enough to find an svg file created by Denise...What a great file she has for this card. I struggled with Sure Cuts a Lot trying to get it to the file to the size I wanted but I finally was able to come up with something I was happy with. The only thing I added extra to the card was the red circle...I wanted to give the card the illusion of the tank so I cut a red circle with the circle Nestabilities and glued it behind the face of the card. I love how it turned out and hope my little man will think it is cool. Well, I have lots of visiting to catch up on since I have not done much at all from the time I got sick. Feeling tons better! I hope each and every one of you have a blessed Sunday and are enjoying the day whatever you are doing. Thanks for stopping by...I plan to be by to see you all after the birthday bash!

HUGS!
