Feel Better Soon Card - feat Melonheadz image

Hello Everybody!

So hubs and I donate blood and plasma anytime we can.  We truly believe in the importance of donations.  I have been involved with donating since 1995.  Anywho, Where we donate now, one of the technicians was in an accident and did some damage to her fingers (not her dominant hand).  She is back to work but on limited duty.  I wanted to create a little something, something for her to hopefully aid in the recovery process do I created this card and a cute and simple pair of earring for her.

I used a digi stamp from Melonheadz Illustrating because it was a perfect image.  Same hair cut, same injured side.  This image just looked like the technician.  She is just darling.  

I added some of the Studio G glitter glue to her flower and the hearts on her shorts and also to the bodies of all the butterflies to make them stand out.

Box created from Recollections card stock for the earrings.

The earrings are actually a pretty shade of sea blue but the camera didn't pick it up well.

Well, this is my project.  I love how this card turned out!  I wasn't sure of the layout of the card when I started but I had an idea in mind.

Okay everybody, I out!  I have a slew of projects that I need to finish including a few paper bag albums to share and a plethora of card ideas floating around in my head.  I also have Christmas on the brain.  I am preparing myself for projects now so I won't be behind later.

So until next time..

Masculine Card #2

Hi Everybody,

Masculine cards are such a challenge for me and I prefer not to do them but I just can shake them.  I feel like I have to keep making them until I master them!!  Hence, the card I have for today.

So my thought is to try out different techniques, papers, layouts until I find one that I really enjoy.  So I am off to practice making some more Masculine cards.

Thanks for going me and I will see you all in the next one.

Spring Card Swap

Hi Everyone!!

I've shared with all of you that I participate in a card group at my local Scrapbook store.  We exchange cards not only with each other but we also make extra cards to give to the local hospital.  The card I made "Spring Card - Delight" was the card that I was going swap with but I made a different card that I shared with.  The theme of the swap was Spring with the challenge being to use flowers.

As simple as this card is I didn't realize all the resources I used to create this card.  But I love the country feel to this spring card.

What I used...
~Colorbok Sweet Summer Paper Pad
~Recollections Brown Card Stock & White Card Stock
~Fiskars Scalloped Daisy Border Punch
~Studio G Brown Pigment Ink
~Studio 112
~Ivory and White Mulberry Flowers
~Studio G Pink Glitter Glue

I pray you all enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it.  Thank you all for stopping by and I will see you all next time.  :D

Cupcake Love Card

Hi All!

It is 5 days before Valentine's Day and in keeping with the Spirit of Love I made this card. The image is from sliekjestamps at sliekje.blogspot.com.  There is a Free Digital Stamps group on Facebook and this stamp was listed on the posts and I grabbed this image there.  Isn't she cute!

Hubby thought that the sentiment should be "I love you almost as much as cupcakes."  I thought that was a cute sentiment but I chose to use this stamp from Studio G instead.

What I used..
~Pattern paper from Michael's $1 section. 
~Recollections Card Stock
~DecoArt Twinkles
~Shabby Treasures from the $1.50 bin at Michael's
~Michael's bling
~Studio G ink
~Studio G Love stamp
~Dollar store doily

Thanks for stopping by.  You should go to www.sliekje.blogspot.com and check out her adorable stamps!

Until next time..
