Wedding Card

Good morning! Busy weekend for us! We have a wedding to attend today and tomorrow hopefully we get to some of the much needed yardwork! We have a huge oak tree in our back yard that blesses us with tons and tons of shade which means it ALSO blesses us with tons and tons of leaves in the fall! And I need to get my pond ready for winter so my outside friends can survive the winter. Just got home from my workout, got a shower and thought I better get this card done while my hair was drying! This is a pretty clean and simple card but does have some elegance about it. The brides colors are black and white so I thought I would go with that...used the Ornate#2 Sizzix folder to emboss the card around the bride and gooms' names, added some black flatback pearls from Pizzazz Aplenty, spritzed with some Sheer Shimmer and that was it! Not bad for a quickie. Well, have to run...hopefully your weekend will be a wonderful one and I thank you tons for stopping in and sharing some of your time with me!

Doodle Pantry Quirky Owl

Hello!!! Well this was one fun card to make! I worked with Doodle Pantry's Quirky Owl....OMG the colors and patterns in this image set are just phenomenal. I used the colored version of the image set but it comes with the outline image as well as the two patterned papers that I used in my design...as well as two sentiments...one of which I used. It was just fun to play with it. The pretty square shaped pink bling is from Pizzazz Aplenty. I also used a different fold for my card and also decorated the inside as you see below:

Please take a moment and visit the Doodle Pantry...there are soooo many fun images to play with I bet you won't be able to pick just one! Hope your day was wonderful...thank you very much for stopping in!

FSS Love You This Much

Good morning! The weekend is here and what a relief. It has been a long work week for me. Hope you all have some fun planned for this weekend. Me...may watch some of the grandchildren but otherwise no big plans...which is good...that may mean some play time! Well todays card is very similar to one I made back in April...it was a requested card for a friend's little neice's first birthday. The image I used is FSS I Love You This Much...one of the colored versions. The red paper I used is from Pizzazz Aplenty...I just LOVE this paper...it is like velvet! The heart frame is my own creation! I designed it it Make the Cut...this is my first time using it on a card and I think I chose the perfect image to use it with! Well, I am off to work out and get my day started...Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by to see me!

FSS The Old Truck

Hello! Quick posting for now...I have been so overwhelmingly busy but had to find some time to create a card for a dear friend of mine. She had asked for a "no frills" simple card for her boss for Boss's Day. Well since he is a man, I immediately thought of the FSS The Old Truck image. This is the most awesome image for a masculine card and the colored images come in several colors besides the brown you see here. I just did a little photo shop and added the sentiment...matted it on brown card stock and voila...very simple "no fuss" card but an awesome card to say the least. I will be back hopefully tomorrow with another creation that was also a request! I hope you have all been well, I need to get caught up on my visiting as I am very far behind. I truly appreciate all the kind words you have left me over the last few posts! Have a blessed day!

HUGS!

Doodle Panty Challenge and COUGAR!

Good morning! I don't have a card to show you today but wanted to remind everyone that the Doodle Pantry Challenge starts today!! Please hop over to the Doodle Pantry Blog to get all the deets and join in the fun! Also...I had a BLAST on Monday night playing with my Cougar again and Make the Cut software! It was like training myself all over again since all that I had learned I kind of forgot! Ohhhh geez did I ever forget! But first thing I did was to create my very very own design in MTC! I amazed myself that I could actually do it...and THEN with some help from my friend Penny Duncan, I was able to cut it out too!! Well, I hope I am on a roll now, I do miss using my Cougar and really should have not quit trying! Here is a pic of the frame I designed in MTC:

Pretty huh? And I do believe I can make it fancier if I try but not bad for a first! If I have any followers that can cut SVG files, please contact me by email and I will be glad to share my file with you! Well, I am off for the day...work, and then photography class tonight! Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my Cougar/MTC joy with you! Have a blessed day!

HUGS!

FSS Emma the Hugger-Snowman

Good afternoon! Well, I have been working on this card for almost 2 hours!!!! I am the SLOWEST card maker in the world! BUT, I had tons of fun creating it and tons of frustration photographing it!!! I used a FSS image today...Emma the Hugger-Snowman. I used the pre-colored image, cut it out with scalloped circle nesties, and layered the image with the teardrop circles nestie. Added a little Diamond Dust to the snow and on Emma's hat. For my card base, I used a 4x6 card and folded the front of the card in half. Added an embossed layer (Sizzix Snowflakes #3) to the front and inside of the folds. On the inside of the card I had a blast with using photoshop to add the elements of the snowman to the melting snow! The sentiment that I used is part of the image pack. The paper I used for the matting and the inside of the card is also from FSS..called Catchin Flakes. My snowflake embellies were made with a MS snowflake punch, velum and Diamond Dust. Here is the card opened up:

Hope you enjoyed my creation! I now need to get on with the rest of my day! LOL. I think this week I may be concentrating on re-acquainting myself to my Cougar so be on the lookout for some Cougar creations! Hope your Sunday is beautiful and blessed...I am thankful for all your support and love!

HUGS!
