Practical Scrapper DT Project - Birthday Cards

Hi Everybody,

I have been in such a mood to create birthday cards lately so this project was right on time.  So when I saw that the challenge for Practical Scrappers was birthdays I was in heaven!  This card is also going to be the start of my "birthday card" series.

So let me show you my card and then I'll tell you what I did.

First I started with an image.  So I chose a Birthday Party image from Melonheadz Illustrating (I love her images) and I colored her up using Copic Markers.  I had crystal glitter glue and gave her sparkly shoes, hat, and dress.

I also used the Deconstructing Jen sketch #125 but instead of using the sketch as a portrait sketch I turned it on it's side and used it as a landscape.  I am really pleased with how the card came out.  

I added some gray flat back pearls to the card just to give it that extra Umpf and then I embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment and that was all she made.  Just as a suggestion you may wanna go over to the Practical Scrappers blog and check out he other fantastic cards cards the DT created. You can never have enough birthday cards.

So this is the first Happy Birthday card.  I am not sure how many will be in this series but I'm having fun in the process.

Thank you all so much for stopping by and I will see you next time.

Practical Scrapper Ten Things Project - Letter Stickers

Hi Everyone,

Just a quick post to share with you a Design Team Project for Practical Scrappers.  The Challenge was to be creative while using letter stickers.  Well, I am back on my Christmas card countdown and this card was quick and simple and packed with color.

I used the letter stickers to create a fish tail banner and then used that as the main focal image for the front of the card.  Sometimes simple is the way to go and I think it fits using the banner as the focus.  I added some glitter glue instead of ribbon to help draw your eye to the center.

Its a clean and simple card but I really like it!  Not all cards need to be so elaborate.  These clean and simple cards are great for those you know are going to most likely toss the Christmas cards at the end of the season or for those you know are just not going to appreciate a hand made card as much as someone else.  Sadly I think we all know sometime that matches this description.

Anywho, there you have it everybody.  I pray that this card brings you some inspiration.

Thank you all for stopping by and I will catch you all next time. Bye!!  :D

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..

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.
