Happy Birthday, Debbie W!

Today is one of my favorite person's birthday! Happy Birthday, Debbie Williams!!! Here is the card I made. I was supposed to get together with her and some other gals today, but it is snowing like crazy! It really is beautiful though.

These stamps from Elzybells. I love the image and the words and knew I'd use them for her card. I used the SU! Tea Party DSP because the colors are perfect for the colors I wanted to use to color in the image. I used SU! markers, cardstock, brads, and ribbons to tie it all together (no pun intended!) :)

Happy Birthday again, Debbie! I hope it is a great day despite the bad weather.

Cardinal in Wreath Card

This image is from a Cat's Pajamas Christmas set and I think it is so pretty. I should have colored the cardinals separately with my SU! markers, but just used my Real Red classic ink. I think it is a really beautiful image.

I wanted to use the Cocoa Specialty DSP because it is just so beautiful. I thought the image would work great with this paper.

I'm looking forward to using more that stamp set and more of that beautiful paper! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend!

Thanks to my Harley Ladies!

I met some of the coolest, nicest ladies at the craft show a couple weeks ago. They were so supportive and I really appreciated it. I ordered a motorcycle stamp and when it arrived, decided to make them a little thank you gift. I altered a little notepad with pen. I figure they can log their Harley miles in it!

I also wanted to send them a Christmas card with matching pillow box filled with some Hershey nuggets. I love this paper and thought it would be a good matching set.

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Snuggly Kitties

This stamp just makes me smile :) I made Christmas cards the other day and started pulling out all the stamps I've never used. This is one of them. I just think they are so cute - love the kitties! I colored them in with my Copics.

I used the new SU! Cocoa DSP and I love the texture of it! It's really pretty in person and can go with so many colors.

I've had this snowflake ribbon for a while, waiting for just the right card to use it on. I'm happy I found a match :)

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

Winter Wonderland Swap Card

I joined a Winter Wonderland swap this month with my SU! sisters and this is the card I came up with. I used a Mojo Monday sketch (sorry, can't remember which one!) I wish I had used a wider ribbon, but I didn't have the right color at the time. But, I'm still happy with it - the snowmen make me happy and I love the glittery snow! Thanks for looking and have a warm and wonderful evening!

Christmas Treat Boxes

I received a Current, Inc. catalog in the mail and was browsing through it the other day. They had some really cute pyramid shaped Santa treat boxes. Well, I knew I just had to make some! I worked out a template and then decided to make a couple that look like Christmas trees. Having a circle cutter is a must for this project. Otherwise, you end up having to punch all four sides (like one of the samples). That's not a bad thing, but it's a lot more work and window sheets ;) I used different designer papers, punches, and window sheets. I think I'll fill them up with those yummy new Hershey mint truffle kisses! I'm happy to share the template - just send me an email if you'd like it.

Have a great day!

Hark! An Angel Card...

I thought this stamp was so pretty. But, it didn't stamp as well as I'd like. So, I filled it in with my black spica pen and it is all shiny now. I like it! I don't think you can really tell from the picture though :( I think I'll give this one to my mother-in-law since she loves angels. Thanks for looking and have a great day!
