New grandbaby

This has nothing to do with this blog but I had to post a pic of our new grandbaby. He is the only boy so far out of 4 grandchildren.

Christmas Cards

I made these cards for my friends at work. The 1st one I made with the Create A Critter cartridge, the 2nd was just some felt stickers and the last one is a digi stamp I got from online coloring pages then I colored it with my Copic markers.

Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year.

I made my husband a drink menu of sorts for his bar in our basement. One side of the page is a drink he makes and then on the back is a bunch of facts or trivia about football or the Dallas Cowboys. (my husbands favorite team). I laminated all the pages and then used ring clips to hold it together.

Here are some more embroidery work. I can't take credit for these though my husband did them. He used my embroidery machine and didn't need a lot of assisstance from me. I am so proud of him. Ha Ha

Thomas

This is a pillow case I embroidered for my great nephew for Christmas. He loves Thomas the Tank Engine so I sure hope he likes this.

Twilight

This is a dry erase/cork board that I made for a Christmas presant. I got the svg file from http://mardenz.blogspot.com/. She has a couple of Twilight files for free download. I made this out of black vinyl.

I was a busy girl last night. I had a little quiet me time in my office to create a few cards. I used free downloadable coloring book pages and then colored them with my copic markers. I can't believe all the cool coloring pages available online. Creating surely calms my nerves and eases my stress.

I made this for my mother using a real scrabble game and tiles. I cut the board to fit in a wooden tray I painted her favorite color. I found some wooden shapes at Michaels, layed out my words and placed the angels on the board. My mom loves to play scrabble and absolutely loved this tray.

Here are a few cards that I made for Operation Write Home. Sure kept me busy for a few days.

Thanks for taking a look.

Baby

Here is a card I made for the challenge over at www.cardztv.blogspot.com. You had to make a new baby card using green,orange,yellow and white only. What do you think?

Baby

I made this card for my son who is expecting their 2nd child, a little boy this time.

I found this pic on a free digi stamp site called Arthursclipart.org. When I saw it I knew I had to download it. I would appreciate your comments and let me know what you think.

Halloween challenge

Card I made for the Challenge at Cardztv. Check out Mary's blog for great ideas. I used the Paper doll dress up cartridge and Happy Hauntings for the saying.

Thanks for your comments.

Halloween

Here is a card I made for the challenge at Cardztv using a scallop in your design. I used another coloring book page and my copic markers to color. Thanks for your comments.

Birthday Card

My sister loves Seahorses and since her birthday is next month I thought I would make this card. I downloaded a coloring book page, sized it in Paint and then printed out on my computer. I used my new Copic markers and colored it in. I think for my 2nd attempt at a digital stamp it turned out nice. I love how you can create shadows with these markers.

Thanks for looking and leaving comments.

Thanks

This is another Thank you card that I made for a friend.

Thank you card

I made this Thank you card for a friend of mine who likes to make quilts. I wasn't sure if it turned out all that great but she loved it so much she wanted to from it. ha ha. I got the idea from Mary at Cradztv.

Thanks to Mary for her great videos.

Get Well Soon

Here is a card I made for the Cardz TV challenge. I used the Wild Card cart for this bandaid card and envelope.

Easel Card

Here is my first attempt at making an easel card. It was actually pretty easy and I think it turned out nicely.

Pillow boxes

These pillow boxes were made using my cricut, of course. They were Halloween treats for co-workers. The moon I got from SVGCuts.com. Filled them with candy and wrapped with a little raffia and walla... neat treats.

Thomas

Thought I would show you just how creative my dear hubby is. He made these from printing out a coloring book page. He traced the design on the back of the picture glass with a black paint pen and then filled in the deisgn with model paint. We put scrapbook paper ( see extra comes in handy for everyone) behind it. It has a great 3D effect.

Time to post something a little different. I printed out coloring book pages and then drew them on painted canvas. I then painted the design and outlined with black paint pen. They hang on the walls in the spare room for the grand kids. I think Eeyore is my favorite. Not to bad for hand drawn home decor. I painted the canvas with your basic acrylic paints.

Mother's Day

I made this card with my Paper pups cart. The inside said "That means Happy Mother's Day."

Card Set

This is a gift card set I made. I used my cuttlebug to do the embossing on the pink paper. I just love the way the colors came together.

The box I madewith heavy cardstock and covered with the same paper and flower designs to match the cards. I added some brown ribbon and made a bow for the front.

Let me know what you think and thanks for looking.

Wedding

I made this card for my husbands co-worker. I made it with the Wild Card Cartridge and my cricut.

Snowman Card

This card was inspired by Mary at Cardztv.blogspot.com. I saw her youtube video and had to try it for myself. I used a sheet of velum for the globe to give it a glass like look. A rub off transfer of a wreath completed the stand.

Christmas Card

How cute is this card? I made it with my paper pups cartridge and I embossed the bow with some fun flock to give it a velvety feel.

Christmas Card

I made this card using one of my cricut cartridges and a noel stamp I got from the crafty store in their dollar bin. SCORE!! I added some green and white striped ribbon and tied in a bow. I ran the light green layer through my cuttlebug snowflake folder.

Bunny Box

These are some little bunny boxes I made for my co-workers. My husband saw them and thought they were so cute I needed to make about 12 more for him to take to work. It truly looked like my little bunnies were multiplying all over the place. I filled them with easter grass and some bite size candies.

Card Set

This is a card set I made for a friend of mine at work. I thought the colors went well together. I set a pearl embellishment in the middle.

Glass Block

This is a glass block I made for my oldest sister for Christmas this past year. I used a vinyl saying that I got from the craft store and put it on the glass block. I filled it with metalic flaked angel hair and added a small string of lights. It looks great when it is lit.

Birthday Card

This is a card I made for my sister for her birthday. She loves Garfield. I printed the picture from a coloring book page I found online and then colored it with my Bic markers. I think it turned out pretty good for my first try at digital stamping.

Wedding

I made this card for my son on his wedding day. I made it using my Stretch Your Imagination cricut cartridge.

Halloween Cards

I made these cards two simple cards for my sister and her daughter last year. I make a card every year and send it to them. I made them with my cricut machine. Thank you my dear hubby for that awesome Christmas gift.

Another Halloween card made with the Wild Card cartridge from Provo Craft. I just love the jewel eyes on the spider.

Stationery

Here is a set of cards that I made for as a Christmas gift. I even made the little envelope. I am following later with a picture of the box I am going to attempt to make. Hope it turns out Ok.

Well here is the scallop purse I made to hold the cards above. I think for my first attempt it didn't turn out to bad. The idea came from Mona at cupcakescreations.blogspot.com.
