Thank You Cards!

Hi Everyone!

I'm finally back to my blog! Yeah!! I'm still recovering from my health issues but feeling better and able to spend some time in my stamp room. I have been very blessed to have had so many people helping my family out during my illmess- bringing meals, giving me rides to appointments, cleaning my house, folding my laundry- it's been truly inspirational! My first task back and stamping was to make thank you cards for everyone. I used the sweet girls from Cheery Thoughts R-2043 and the thank you sentiment from Ordinary Greetings T-2881. I colored the girls with Prisma Colored Pencils and blended with Goo Gone. I added stickles and used the stardust gel pen for a bit of bling. On 2 of the teal cards the background was stamped with hostess set Floral Labels TB-2980. The pattern papers used were non- TAC scraps I had around. I think they turned out nice. What do you think??

She remains positive and hopeful and can't wait to get healthy and back to stamping. She will post as soon as she can. She will be back so stay tuned and please keep her in your prayers. Thanks Curtis( her husband)

Boo!!

HI Everyone,

Sorry I have been MIA the last month. I have had some serious health issues decend upon me that pretty much have me at a stand still... I'll be ok but it will take time- as a result my energy and creativity have taken a hit. Every day I think about my poor little neglected blog. Today is a better day so I sat down and created a cute little Halloween card. I've had new stamps for 3 weeks but no energy to cut them out until now...tragedy I know!! LOL Anyway.. my mojo isn't all there but I think it turned out ok. What do you think?

Supplies: Spookalicious stamp set- love it!DCWV neutral stack, matchbox kit- I used some left over peices I had when I made the kit. Love how the little label looks like a tombstone!) white gel pen, versamagic black chalk ink, blingy crystals, ribbon, flowers and buttons. If you are interested in ordering something specific just shoot me an email and I will get you the details... thanks for your patience!

Hello Robot

Just a quick post today to share my robot card with you. It's not my favorite but I thought I should share it anyway. I embossed the cute robot in silver embossing powder- really adds a lot in read life. Colored him with Tombow markers and a blending pen. The pattern paper is from the Mimi collection- the cardstock is Bazzill. I added a little paper piercing for detail. Hope you like it! This new set is so adorable. I can't wait to play with it more!

Anniversary Cards

A friend asked me to help her make an anniversary card for her sweet hubby. She is a fantastic scrapper but struggles with cardmaking. I showed her the card designs in Inspiration Avenue and she picked one she liked. She then picked out the materials and I made the card for her. The cards shown her are what I made with the scraps. They are almost the same as the orginal( she has that one!). The black pattern is printed acetate. The black and red are Bazzill Bling paper. The metal embellishment and ribbon were from a Making Memories wedding set. I used a little scrappers floss to tie the ribbons. What do you think?

Happy Thoughts

The computer is still not 100% but I was able to get this card uploaded to share with you. Its the first time I have used this new set- Happy Thoughts. This set caught my eye the first time I saw it and I have been wanting to create with it for a while. I finally had a moment last night and came up with this card. The cardstock is from Bazzill monochromatics ( yellow greens). The pattern paper is from Pop Rockz. I used an eraser and versarmark to make the dots on the background( my new favorite technique! LOL) and inked the edges with Noir palette ink and a sponge. The stamped image is embossed with Transcendence. The flower is a Bazzill bitty blossom and the ribbon is some I had on hand. What do you think??

Slight technical difficulties

My computer is giving me fits.... will post as soon as I get things back on track! Ack!! Its so frustrating!! I appreciate your patience....

A Thank You

Thanks to everyone for your love and support during this difficult time... your thoughts and prayers have truly been appreciated!

I finally found a moment to make some thank you cards for everyone who brought food over during the week we had family over. The paper is from scraps I had around.. not sure who the manufacturer is. The flower is from Bazzill and the stamp is one of our new purchase with purchase stamps from TAC. Love this one- I embossed it on kraft cardstock to make it more elegant. What do you think?? ( Sorry the pic is a bit blurry...)

A quick note

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to give you a quick note to explain why I haven't posted in a while. My husband's father passed away a week and a half ago and we have been dealing with that.. Things are settling back down and hopefully I can get back to creating and posting soon.. thanks for your patience...
