Bunnies

I have been asked to make a few card samples for a local stamp shop (Stamping Fools). I made three yesterday because we may be heading to Vegas any day to see our new grandson who is trying to make an early appearance! I love this pink and green striped paper. It is done on the diagonal so it was fun to turn it different ways to get different looks for this card. tfl........d

CD card #2

This is CD card number 2. I have one more in mind to do and then I think it is time to move on to another design! This one is for this weeks challenge at the BBTB site using the word Love from the Home Accents cartridge. tfl.......d

CD Envelope shaker card

It's been awhile since I made these CD envelope shaker cards. I saw a tutorial on Maria's site a year or more ago and forgot about them until she recently posted another tutorial. http://stampininspirations.blogspot.com/2009/01/pink-cat-studio-sneak-peek-day-3-and-cd.html I used a Penny Black stamp, Paper Shapers corner punch, and Coluzzle for the purple circle border. I'll be posting a few more of these. tfl.....d

I've been tagged by Jan

Jan tagged me to post the 6th pic in the 6th folder on my computer.....this is a pic of my silly grandson Cody..........he planted fake sunflowers in the dirt, while wearing his Elmo costume.........we aren't sure why........the best explanation is.....it's just Cody.

Valentines Heart

This large, scalloped heart is from the Doodlecharms cartridge. Doodlecharms has always been a fave of mine. It's so versatile. The small hearts and the heart border are both Martha Stewart punches. I had a chance to go to Roberts and Hobby Lobby while I was in Utah. I love those stores! Sure wish we had them here in California. They sell Nestabilities in Hobby Lobby and you can use a coupon! My sister had no idea why I was so excited about that. I was smiling all the way to the checkstand! tfl......d

A snail and a pot!

I love this little snail from Walk In My Garden. (the pot is on this cartridge also). The little butterfly that is going along for the ride is a Martha Stewart punch, punched twice. I used Design Studio to weld the pot together so that it opens at the top to form the card. If I ever get rid of this flu/cold thing I hope to get more stamping done. tfl........d

Love Bug

I saw this cute candy holder on http://www.chicnscratch.typepad.com/stampinacademy/

I added some extra score lines to give it some depth for the candy pouch. I think she had such a cute idea for this and it's perfect for card class. I used one of the new Martha Stewart border punches...LOVE it.......and one of the new heart punches.....HATED it! I love the shape of the scalloped heart, but the punch itself is awful. It does not like cardstock and the only way to get the punched out piece out of the punch is to use a long, flat pair of tweezers. It gets stuck in the punch and is a booger to get out. Added some red Stickles to the antennae and some Paper Glaze to the bug body. The Love Bug stamp is one of the dollar stamps at Michaels. I think this stamp is so cute! tfl.........d

M&M treat pouch

I saw this idea on Dawn's site. I thought it would be so cute for card class. I used the Valentine M&M's instead of a candy bar and wrapped the ribbon around instead of using the velcro. http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stampin_studio/2008/10/mini-candy-bar-holder.html

The circle word is from Regina's site: http://reginascutterdesigns.blogspot.com/

Pastel Nativity

Wishing you a wonderful and blessed Christmas. I painted this years ago and thought I would take a pic of it and post it before it gets packed away for the year. MERRY CHRISTMAS. d

Is it over yet? (Santa)

This weeks challenge was the gifts on the New Arrival cartridge. I cut them starting at 3 inches, up to 7 inches and layered them around this Santa. My hubby works retail and I painted this for him a few years back. Working retail during the holidays means, looooooooooooong hours and unfortunately, it also includes, some cranky customers! tfl.........d
