Victorian

While this card seems to appear complicated - it was quite simple once I figured out all of the layers!  The stamp sets are old Stampin Up (don't know the names - sorry).  I like how this one turned out - a bit Victorian looking.  It could be used for many occasions!

Shake Those Tail Feathers!!!!!!!

I have posted cards with this stamp set before - I just LOVE it!  It is a TAC set called Tail Feathers.  You can't really tell by the picture - but this is a 'fun fold' card.  It isn't your ordinary A2 card, that's for sure.  The patterned paper is from October Afternoon.  If you look hard, you will be able to see the false eyelashes I attached!  I've had 'em forever - waiting for the right card, and it just worked this time!  WOOH HOO!  oh.......... and if you REALLY like this one - well - it will be one of the cards at my June card class!  I am selling my card class kits now, too, so even if you aren't local - you can get on my list to receive class invites.  Just drop me a line with your email addy!

Button Flowers

I saw this idea and thought to myself, what a Wonderful way to use up some of the buttons I have been collecting!  I have enough buttons to make - well - let's just say - a lot of these cards!
Stems were stamped with an old TAC stamp set - I am not sure of the name.

Take Time to Smell the Flowers

So...... I am new to using DIGI's, and have been buying, them and saving lots of files.  I am sure you are SO suprised!  I finally made a card for the FIRST time using a digi!  It is Sweet Smells by Digi Doodle Shop.  When I saw it, I thought of my friend Christine, and her love of pigs!  I just had to have it!  The sentiment is one I have had for a while and I have no idea where I got it. 

Colored with COPICs and SPICA pens - used some nestabities and some Basic Grey paper that has been sitting around for a while!

Hope it brings a smile to your face!

Outlawz Color Challenge - Spring Tulips

I am enjoying participating in these challenges from Outlawz!  It gives me motivation to just play in my crafting room!!!!!!  This one was a color challenge - with a twist.  The twist was to use stripes.  I added the Bakers Twine for that effect.

The image is an old PSX stamp I never could get rid of.  I love tulips - and love this big bouquet.  I had fun coming up with color combinations with my COPICs for this challenge!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

I joined a group that has challenges, and more challenges. It is called Outlawz.   I am excited to start taking part in them!  You can learn more about this group (and maybe even choose to join!!!!!)  This challenge was to make a card or project that was inspired by a song!  The song I chose was Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by Cyndi Lauper!!!!   Stamps and paper are from The Angel Company. 

With Love Butterfly

I recently purchased a Grand Nestailities Die Set of these FANTASTIC butterflies!  I did some playing - and this is what I came up with.  It would be a wonderful wedding card!  I liked it so much, I decided we will make this at my May card class.  The enter of the butterfly is a Stick Pin with a Heart at the top that I purchased last week when Archivers had 43% off ALL embellishmets.  FUN FUN FUN!
