I'm back!!!

I realized recently that some of my friends, Crystal & Mary and I'm sure there are others, do not have a Facebook account. Therefore, they can not see the cards that I post.  

I will post a few things for the past months that I have made cards.

Here are the cards I made in January 2013.  Hope you enjoy them.

This is a Dustin Pike digi image;

These two, my Mother-In-Law bought me these pre-embossed cards.  All I had to do was sponge them with colors and layer them.

Here is another Dustin Pike digi image;

The next four are digi images from Paper Shelter, http://www.thepapershelter.com .  They have some terrific images.

I made this Whipper Snapper Moose for my nephew in law's birthday card.  His nickname is Moose.

The next two are a digi image I found online.  This is the close up of the peacock.  I used colored pencils to color it in.

Another digi image... cow cute!

And yes, another digi image.  

I hope you enjoyed them as much as I had making them!

Now on Facebook

I have changed this page to:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/221943441186603/

I hope that you follow me to this place.

I don't know if this will be better or not, but we'll see.  You all can let me know what you think is better.  Keeping this page updated or Facebook.

Apothecary Art

Here we go again with using sets and things I haven't used.  I decided to use this set, one, because I think it's pretty, two because I bought the framelits that went with it.  I cut a bunch of these up and colored them in last night. They are all stamped with Staz-On on watercolor paper.  The embossing folders are from Darice.  

For The Birds!

I have to get better at this.  I have been trying to make at least 1 card a day.  I am typically a "mass producer" when it comes to stamping.  I have always thought, why make one when I can make 8.  This way I can also keep one to never give away.  

Well, that thought has passed now.  Also, I've been trying to live by my new motto of "Use Your Shiznick!"    I have a very bad habit of "hoarding" everything, from background paper to anything and everything else.  If you've noticed, I've been using my stuff.  

Another thing I have to get better at is color combinations.  I decided to use this image to from the Stampin' Up!  For The Birds set.  (LOVE IT!!!).  I used Pacific Point, Crushed Curry, a touch of Tangerine Tango on the underside of the birdie, mellow moss for the grass and Going Gray (so sad this is discontinued. They really do need to bring this back).  Then I was stuck...  what paper am I going to put with this? So I pulled out my hoarded stash of Stampin' Up's! DSP and found the Walk In The Garden series. Just so happens it uses Pacific Point and Tangerine Tango.  The Stamping Gods were smiling on me!!!  

I love the border punch... and wanted to give the Pacific Point a little pop, and again, the Stamping Gods were smiling on me when I found this Sizzix folder that had the same pattern on it that the border punch has.  Who would have thunk it?!?!??!

I do have to admit, I made 2 of these. Some habits are hard to break.

(PS) I used watercolor paper, ink pads and a blender pen.  Love this technique!!!

One more for the day...

I made two more cards before the day is out.  Too bad you can't see it, but I used my glitter pen to give it just a touch of bling.  How cute is this image!?!?!?!!  I love Whipper Snapper stamps!!!  I don't have the stamp though, this is an image that was sent to me.  Thank you SplitCoast Stampers!

I am on a ROLL !!!!

How stinkin' cute!!!!!  

I am still making cards with the images that I had colored in from a couple of years ago.  I wish I had these stamps!!!  These are so darn cute. I can't thank the stampers enough, that gave me the images.  I just love these.  I hope you like them.

Another cute card!

How cute is this?  Another image I found that I had colored in from a couple of years ago.  I'm not exactly sure who the digi stamp is from, I believe it is from Meljen, http://meljensdesigns.com .  Hint, Hint, LOVE her work!!!!  So darn cute!!! I know the saying is definitely from Meljen.

And then I realized I had these cure little clothes pins, Thanks Rachel Ezell !!!  All of this was chalked also.  

What do you think? Cute?  I love it.
