This card is also from School Days and again I used the alphabets for the background on a black card. Pencil and apples (I love apples) again used my copics to color (R27,29,35, G02,05, Y00,08,35, E33,43,57, R20, RV23,34)

.

I have been busy!!!

Boy, oh boy it has been awhile since I have posted, however I have been pretty busy. It has been gloomy here so I really haven't been able to get some pic's for ya. Until now so lets show some cards K

I used photo paper and I really loved how it turned out I didn't increase the ink volume but I like the soft look. The paper was so easy to work with as far as using the CB I'm just so very pleased with the results over all.

Here are some how have you been cards, it seems that we always can use these.

So here are my cards and I would love to hear what you think?
Have a wonderful day♥

Good Day to everyone,

I tried my hand at a little recipe card book and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I did cut out a bunch of cricut embellishments and I was going to put them in the book but I thought I would let the person that I'm giving this to put them where she wants to.

I used Clipart from PCCrafters from Joy Hall called More Love. I love that collection with the hearts and pastel colors. I know when you look at the collection you sure don't think of a cook book theme, but I love to cook and this is all about Love.

I would love to hear what you think about it!!

So see ya really soon.

I have something to share with ya!

I came across this from PCCrafters and I thought it was good to share with you all.

If you have kids this would be really fun for them I think, just think you could print on magnetic sheets or Velcro so they could have fun mixing them up a bit.

Anyways, hope you enjoy!

FREEBIE- Build Your Own Cupcake!

Hello!! Ok... so I have a new freebie to share with everyone, and I hope you and your kiddos/nieces/nephews/grandkids.. etc etc. have tons of fun with this little project. The cutting does take a little bit of time, but if your little ones are anything like mine, they're excitement will be well worth it.

If you own a set of kids scissors, and your child has a little experience with cutting they should be able to cut most of the elements out, but I definitely encourage adult supervision... The cake toppers are a little more intricate and require a little more cutting skill. :)

I really had fun putting this together, and was inspired by a couple of sticker books my mom bought the girls for church. Which reminds me, if you have sticker paper, you could always print these out on that. Otherwise a glue stick works just fine. :)

There are 10 pages total consisting of: cover page, the recipe, 8 different cupcakes, 8 different liners, 8 different frostings, 11 different cupcake toppers, and a sheet of name tags for your little baker(s). :)

One of the best thing about these cupcakes is they are very light in calories. Light a sweet smelling candle, and invite the neighbor kids over! :) They would also work well for a picnic outside... no need to worry about ants. Oh- and didnt you know that tea parties are MUCH better with cupcakes? Yep, thats what I think. Journey got a new tea set for her birthday from her grandma and aunties... I'm thinking this will be a nice rainy day project... and I am envisioning a cute little photo opportunity. If you've taken pictures of the cupcakes in action I would love to see them! Maybe you guys can post links here in the comments section? :) Thanks a bunch!! Happy baking :)

Okey doke! You can download the pdf file HERE

p.s. Please feel free to blog or share this little project with anyone and everyone. But PLEASE link back to this page here. :)

Do you like the Grunge look?

(click to see larger view)

Cause if you do then this card you might like!

I'm sending this one to a lady and her Mom passed and she loves Tim Holtz so I thought I would try my best for the grunge look. These flowers are made out of a book. I just cut the pages out of the book and used my CB (cuddlebug) round scallop to cut the shape for the flower. I got the idea from Donna Salazar she has several videos that you can watch to get some ideas.

I also used different colors of spritz that I made up myself I got the idea from one of good blogger friends Nora @ Handmade & Heavenly by Nora she has the recipe on how to make them up. Wow, what a savings that is to!

I also used my Hubie's shaver to grunge up the edges, the papers are from Old World Stack by DCWV (I love that stack), lace, ribbon and rhinestones for embellishments.
So there you have it, what do ya think?

Have a great rest of the day and God Bless ya

All Boy

The other day I posted a girls card well she has a brother as well, and I just finished his up. Boys cards are the most challenging because there is not
much out there as far as embellishments go.
I did happen to find these for this card, I also would like to mention that in the girls card and his I layered the graphics to give it some depth. (We all know that I can't take pictures very well, so I know when to stop when I get a good Pic) hehehe I sure hope that he likes it and cheeres him up some. Anyways, I was wondering what you all thought of it?

Have a wonderful day and may The Lord Jesus bless you today♥

Card for a Little Girl

(Click on picture for larger view)

help her to feel better really soon.
(I know the picture is not that good sorry)

Recipe;
Card-stock papers, Prima flowers, buttons, Stickles, clipart from Linda Oberhansley called Egg Hunt from PCCrafters (you can click on PCCrafters for the link).
