A Job Well Done

You know when you make something great and you sit back and look at it? Well I’m assuming the Easter Bunny does that too! And, in my own little mind, this is what he’d look like doing it.
I was inspired by the Mojo Monday sketch and immediately saw the bunny from the sketch. Now, usually [...]

Look if you Dare

WARNING: this post contains images that may not suitable for all viewers.
So, I love to play with my Sizzix Big Shot as does my daughter. We just finished cutting out fabric for a project and then I got set up for Stamp Club. Well, she just continued to run through things through with [...]

Oh, Knit….another Occupation Card

First, I apologize for the poor picture. I made this card at night and had to take a photo right away as it was being given to the recipient immediately.
This card was made for my Aunt’s birthday last week and she is an avid knitter. I don’t have any knit-type stamps and had seen this [...]

You’re the BEST!

Yesterday was a momentous day in our home – my son lost his first tooth!
Now, I love my little guy but this was probably a more painful experience for me than for him. His new tooth had come in behind the old one and he refused to pull it out or let us try. Therefore, [...]

You ROCK – with a gift!

This was a really fun card to make! Now, I know there are many of you out there who don’t really enjoy the Just Jawing stamp set, but I LOVE IT!
This card is a 5″ x 5″ card base made of Bashful Blue cardstock. I then layered it with Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White. I [...]

Another Grad Goodie

This is the second in my “purple phase” set I made for my Aunt.
The base is Lovely Lilac and is layered with Elegant Eggplant. I used the square word background from Great Grads and stamped it in the lower right corner in Almost Amethyst. I then stamped the large grad stamp in Lovely Lilac but [...]

Grad Season is upon us!

 

I have a few of my young cousins graduation this year and over the next few years. I was commissioned by my Aunt to make a few for her and she’s requested that I use the colours of the graduate’s dress. In this case, purples.
I used the set Great Grads – what a wonderful set!
The [...]

I’ll be back soon!

Just wanted to leave a quick note that I’m still alive and kicking! We are just away on a little family vacation with some friends as it is spring break for my kids.
I’ll be home tomorrow and posting again really soon.

Hoppy Birthday

This card is the culmination of two challenges – the Color Throwdown Challenge and the Mojo Monday sketch.
I love the set, Unfrogettable. It is probably the only retired SU stamp set that I use all the time (I’ve kept lots of retired sets but rarely use them).
I used the designer papers from the Hoppy Memories [...]

Bunches of Fruit

I teach a class at a local art studio once per week and each card encompasses a various technique. These techniques use both difficult techniques and folds as well as simple stamp/ink/paper starter techniques.
This card in particular, uses masking.
The card base is So Saffron and has a square of Real Red cardstock in the upper [...]
