Inspiration Challenge 217 ~ Espe January 30, 2010

I decided to participate in the Inspiration Challenge 217- Espe.  My inspiration was a wallet.  
My Supplies:  SU Bermuda Bay, Basic Black and YoYo Yellow; Papertray Ink White
Ribbon, Versamark Pad, 1.90cm Square punch, and some other designer papers for the bags she is holding.
The stamp sets are SU I like your Style and CTMH Ms. on the go.  I had a great time making this card and finally getting to use my CTMH stamp set that had been sitting in the closet for at least a year.

Mo's Digital Pencil Image - Patience January 28, 2010


I made this adorable card for my mother-in-law.  When she was a little girl, she use to dress up her cats and push them around in the carriage whether they liked it or not.  When my husband and I saw this image, he laughed and laughed because it reminded him of her story.  We decided to color the cat orange and yellow like our cat Clyde.  We are going to send her the card next week from Clyde to add a little cheer to her day!  I also plan on making another one with different colors to send to my mother from Clyde also.  Everyone needs a card from the "grandcats"!

SC265 Sketch Challenge



Today, I participated in the SC265 Sketch Challenge.  The hostess, Cindy Coutts, came up with the basic design of the card.  The challenge is for you to use a stamped image and create a card with the basic layout.
I decided to use Stamping Bella Knitabella stamp as my stamp image.  I had been meaning to make a card with this stamp for a few months for my mother who is a great knitter.  I used SU Gable Green as my card base, SU pixie pink, SU watercolor paper, and designer paper by me & my BIG ideas.  The embellishment is Winter Cozy fibers from Close to my Heart, and and adorable button from K&Company.  Inside the card states "knit happens".  I hope to send this card off in the mail to my mother tomorrow and that when she receives it, it will brighten her day!

Valentine Day's Gifts for the Girls at Work



I made these gifts for the women at work.  I thought it might be nice to come into the office and find something on your desk.  These gifts were simple and quick to make.  I used the Stampin Up Yummy Stamp Set.

Christmas Card for 2009



These are my Christmas Cards for 2009. Everyone who received a card seem to like their card. I had to make several different cards because I did not have enough paper for all of the cards. The cards took a long time to make because of all the different steps but in the end, I think it was well worth it.

Husband's Card to Me for Christmas 2009



I woke up on Christmas morning to find that my husband had made me a card for Christmas from one of the Bella stamps he got me. I think he did a great job making this card which took him about 3 hours. I love all the bling! What I love most of all, is how much he loves me and took the time to make me a card. He is wonderful!
