To pretty valentines

I had so much fun making cards with the girls yesterday. I took my Cuttlebug with me. They were in love. I think they embossed everything that was not nailed down.

Here are two of the cards I made. It is a combination of target paper, SU pinks, and vellum. Very fun. I added some stickels and ribbon. I like them. I hope you do too.






Have the best week ever!

Playing again

Last week, I promised that I would stamp at least one night during the week. Tonight was the night. I did the sketch challenge on SCS and made another card. Both were made with some target paper, ribbon and chip board. Of course they were all Dollar Spot treasures. So much fun for so little money :)

I used my Gina K Whimsical Valentine set. I am really enjoying using these unmounted stamps. They don't take up much room at all and they stamp GREAT!!! I love the faces on the animals. Yep, these stamps made my really yucky day all better.



Have you have a great day!!!!

Delilah thanks yous and Valentine Buzzzz

This Christmas, Delilah raked in a ton of gifts. I figured it was only right for her to send out thank you notes. I got three made tonight. It is hard to see, but I colored in the bones the little dog is holding to match the color of the bones the person gave her. The purple card is my favorite of the set.


I also got a start with my Valentines cards with this cute bee from Gina K. It was so much fun to color. I was getting tired, so I kept the card simple. They are fun though.



Have a great week!

BTW, another mile and a half walked today!!!!

Time with the Christmas Gifts

Tonight, I decided I would only use the things we got mom for Christmas. This was in part because I don't have them when I leave and in part because they are cool. Before I share the cards, I wanted to share one of my gifts. I got a framed picture of Bubba. Bubba is this big mechanical gorilla that stands on the corner in my home town by the vacuums cleaner store. They dress him up for various holidays. He is pictured here in his Christmas outfit. He is pretty ragged and ugly, but I used to beg my Mom and Dad to drive by there when I was growing up. Do you have these sort of odd landmarks where you grew up?



Enough of Bubba. Here are the cards. My mom was doing Valentines Day and I was playing with some designer paper. Here is the set.



Here are closer views of Mom's.



Here are mine. The first is a birthday card.



The second two are some flowers I made with the oval punch. It was fun. I used the crop-a-dile to punch the whole through all the layers and once and add the brad. It was pretty easy. I like the way the came out. The ink is all mellow moss.




Hope you have a safe and happy new year.

Cards for Three Seasons

Well, tonight I made the last cards for my SIL's box of cards. Mom made her Valentines Day cards (or at least some of them).

Here is the whole pile.



Here are mine.



Here are Mom's.


Here are closer shots of Mom's.



Here are my beach themed cards with my Gina K stamps. They are among the final cards for my SIL.


Here is my final set of Christmas Cards. They will most likely go in SIL's box too.









Hope you have a happy holiday.
