what I have been up to

Ok so I have had many cards that I have needed over the past few weeks and I want to share so I am going to post them here

I had to remove the card that I made for my sister in law cause it was Published!

This one was for Kathy's birthday the inside says "happy birthday to the reigning leader!"

This card was a special order for a wedding

This was for my brother in laws birthday, I think I was pretty nice since he turned forty and I did not make fun of him!


This was for my niece I cannot believe that she is 19! man that makes me feel old!



This was another spacial order. The card says "Twice the giggles twice the grins congratulations on your twins!"

Custom Order

this was a custom order that I did for a friend in VA so I did all of these in about a week this is a thank you card for a baseball themed birthday party, the inside says thanks for making my birthday a home run! These were pretty simple just stitched the round card (I made 6 of these)

This is a card for a wedding I using the wedding colors. The bride is a big fairy fan so I just had to use good old Tinker Bell

another set of thank you cards (I made 8 of these) I used my scanner and printer to get the image of Mater

a good old stand by wedding card using the CB Swiss dots folder

Going to the Chapel

This was another card that I was asked to make as soon as I heard the color this just popped into my head (and I hurried to get it out) LOL I love it when a plan comes together!

I used the Lola stamped image (still kicking myself that I did not buy the other set cause now you cannot get them!) the stamps are from the $1 bin (sorry I think Joanns but not sure) The "heart buckle" just goes to show that you so not throw anything out that you think you might use (it came from a headband LOL) I used my paper tagger and some chipboard that I just covered with white (I got tons of the stuck on of those color bok cubes they had a Wal-Mart) the ribbon was form the $1 bin (M's I think) the inside just says best wishes

My 1st BBTB contest!!!!!

Ok so this is a bit scary for me, my very 1st BBTB contest! I have seen alot of the challenges and thought I would love to just take part in one if they use a cart that I have. So there is finally a cut that I have and it is a contest rather than a challenge! So here goes.... Wish me luck!!!

I cut the & from PS @ 4 inches with the italic feature on then cut again @ 4 1/4 (since you can not Shadow when you use the features) I then used some chip board letters that I had and covered them in the same silver paper (sorry I do not remember who makes this paper) I then added some glossy accents. The hearts are some lace that I have had for years. To finish it off I added some "skittles" (my 1st project with "skittles") Thanks to Deb1730 from the message board trading me for the yellow that I had thanks Deb1730 you rock! The flower is silk with a button center (got a great bunch of old buttons from a friend of my MIL, some of them are as old as me I think ;) oh and the back ground paper is from DCWV pack . I have one more wedding card that I need to get done and I think I might do one like this one, I have seen these Mr. & Mrs cards for a while and really liked them!
