Princess Abby's Birthday Party

I did this card 81/2 by 5ish so I could get everything in it the way I wanted. Stamped the clouds in Memento Black ink and used Fluff to make them look fluffy. Paper Doll Dressup and Paper Doll cartridges used for both little people, castle and the ground area along with balloons. Typed the Birthday invitation on the computer.

Merry Christmas Snowman

I sanded a dark piece of green cardstock after I ran it through my Big Shot machine using D'Vine Swirl Cuddlebug. The background is a cream color with Stampin'Up  Glorious Green pigment ink. The snowman was stamped with Tuxedo Black ink and colored using Copic Sketch Markers. Turquoise Stickles used here and there for sparkle.

April Showers

Found another European stamp to work with. This little fellow is waiting for the sunshine. I used Stampin'Up Raspberry cardstock along with raspberry and pale blue stars on a white background paper as my theme choice. Striped ribbon along with three tiny flowers adorn the corners of this card. I used the theme song: Raindrops Keep Falling On My head for the small comment which was computer stamped onto the white background and then put onto the raspberry cardstock. I pop dotted the blue framed picture as well as the small computer comment.

Hello Card

Did this card in yellow and black, stunning colors to work with. The cardstock has tiny white dots on it so I punched out flowers and made black centers for the middle of the flowers. I punched the flower arrangement inside the diamond but add one more stem of flowers as the punch didn't have enough. Used Nesties Classic Scalloped Squares for the black diamond shape.

Batter Up

This card was done for a blog challenge. I used Black background and added white cardstock on top with red cardstock on top of the white to bring out the colors  more. The four corners are adorned with black pearls while the circles have tiny white pearls on them. Punched the black figures using the Cricut Baseball cartridge. These black figures are pop dotted along with the home baseplate.

Big Eyes

Another stamp from Europe. This one is so different and I enjoyed coloring with copic markers to bring out cute stamped image. Dig the big eyes! Green stickles are dotted on her hat. I had a nice green flower which I inked to give a deeper color and added a green pearl to the centre. I stickled the stems and kept this card at soft yellows and greens. Patterned paper and flowered paper used as the background. I colored the little dots on the flower faces to match the other colors in the striped paper.

friendship card

I saw a card done with these colors and it sparks my interest to try one with just a bit different pattern. The tiny red flower was a punched flower I had in my stash which gave bounce to the ribbon. A tiny gem sits in the middle of the flower. Cuttlebug-Swiss dots used on the white background along with a stamped theme I had

halloween spook card

I used a dark blue cardstock with white specks to represent the outdoors. Paper from Michaels craft store. The haunted house, ghost, bat, fence are from PaperDoll Dressup Cart. Brads used on either side of the house for added horror. Had a Halloween chipboard in my stash which went nicely with this card

two little girls

I used the punch from: The Nicest Things Stampin'Up set to do this card. I love the embracing of these two cuties. I also used stampin'up cardstock but can't remember exactly what colors.

book marker

I did this book marker at a class, Stampin'Up paper used as well as their two step owl punch. Great little book marker as it has two magnets inside to connect to a page. Works great

Wheelbarrel Card

This card was done in mauve and lilac colors. The flowers set the mood for this card which looks soft. The ribbon is from Michael's craft store. This card was done for a contest.

Mischevious Cat

I did this card with my neighbours cat in mind as he is always into something or other. Stamped the window and used copic markers for color. Had to cut the opening for the window so I could place the cat looking out. Dig the blood shot eyes and cheesy grin. Doesn't he look like a trouble maker?

Fall Time

The wheel barrel I stamped and used copic markers. Yellow stickles surround the sunflower face as well as stickles used on the apple stems. Apples, pumpkin and bird are popdotted. I tore diff. colors of scrappaper to make a road. Chalked the background to give added fall color to the card

winter sports

My little man was done using Paper Doll cartridge, stickles used to surroung the sun, as welll as silver stickles on snow mounds. This little fellow is rearing to go.
