Extra, Extra

I made this card with one of the cute images that my friend Diana sent me quite awhile ago, I just haven't had a lot of time to play with them. I am glad I pulled it out, it was SO much fun to color.

I used watercolor pencils and the gray tombow to color, and then a brown ink pad and a sponge for around the edges. The cardstock is TACs brown and DCWV for the orange and green.

Bubbles, Anyone?

Everyday Events

This is one of the cards that I made with my hostess club ladies last night. I had such a fun time. The stamp set I used is called "Everyday Events" and it is a great all purpose set, having a stamp for just about every event you would need. The paper is from TACs "Toodle Loo." The paper in that pack is just too cute.

I used the "Swiss Dots" cuttlebug embossing folder for the embossed paper. I quick run through my Big Shot. Right now, while supplies last, TAC has the Big Shot Beginners Kit for on sale at a great price. Only 80.00!!!! That is the Big Shot machine, and some great die cuts and accessories to get you started.

Jessica's Card

Isn't this cute! My friend Jess made it, so I can't take credit. She is so creative. The scan, of course, did not do the card justice, the colors wash out in spots, but the cuteness of the card is not diminished.

The stamp set she used is called "Coffe Talk" and is in our new supplement, called "The Avenue."

Angel Art Blog Hop

It is blog hopping time again! This month is to use some fall themed stamps and have fun with them.


I made up this card using "Sunshiny Day," a set from our base catty. The picture didn't capture the colors properly...the purples really DO match.
The papers are from TACs Penelope collection. The cardstock is the cardstock that matches it. I made the pattern on the background using my scor-pal with the scorbug. A little paper piercing, buttons, and scrappers floss and I was done.

Look Who is ONE!

Happy first birthday to my darling Daughter, Julia!!! Here she is helping me make her birthday cake, or should I say, eat part of what I cut off the top. She loved it.

I will post other pics later, once we have actually celebrated her special day...a couple of days late. Her cake is almost done, but I have so add the finishing touches.

Little Scrapbook Page

I made this first scrapbook page with very limited supplies. For the second page I stepped it up just a smidgen, adding a stamped sentiment and a scalloped border up the strip of patterned paper.

It is so hard to believe that this picture is now almost a year old.

Supplies:

Paper: More Mimi and matching cardstock

Stamps: You Are

Accessories: Bitty Blosson, Lime scrappers floss, border punch
