Happy Birthday Cody

Had to make a bright card for Cody.............subtle colors just aren't for him. I can't beleive he will be six this week. What a big boy. This card was made with the Sweet Treats cart. It sure is easy using the card feature to make this shaped card. All of the work was done for me! tfl............d

Whale punch-Martha

This little whale is a Martha punch. It just told me it needed to be for a baby boy card, even though I have no one to give a baby boy card to at the moment! I made the wave on my Gypsy by welding the wave from the Paper Doll cartridge. tfl..............d

Ladybug-new Martha Stewart spring punch

Thanks Holly! My friend, Holly, told me about the new Martha Stewart spring punches at Michaels. There are so many cute, new ones. This ladybug border is so fun. I posted this card earlier today without adding the black to the heads and just didn't like it. It bugged me so much that I deleted the post, and colored the heads with a black marker. I like it better now! tfl............d

Congratulations Shawn!

Our daughter passed her test this week and is now a CNA. She has been working really hard to become a nurse! We're so proud of her. This card is for her.

Look out world.........he's on the move!

Look out world.........Zack is walking! He turned 9 months old last Wednesday and started walking. Cody has his first loose tooth, Nick is 8 now and will be baptized this Saturday and Landon took his first train ride. While they were busy growing up, I made this card. The phone is on the From My Kitchen cartridge, and is this weeks BBTB challenge. tfl................d

Little Blue Penguin

I seem to be making a lot of blue cards recently. I used the Martha Stewart snowflake corner punch and also her large snowflake punch. I ran the large snowflake through my Xyron upside down, and added some Martha glitter, then popped the snowflake up with a pop dot. There is also some white fun flock on the ball of the hat. Thank you grammat for the snowflake punches! I used the matching border one on the card below this one. tfl....................d

Baby...........it's cold outside

Using up the old..............an old stamp, ribbon from last year (I really did plan on using it......just didn't happen) fun flock on the hat............I can't remember the last time I used fun flock, and Crystal lacquer. I added Crystal lacquer to the beak and feet after I took this pic. The sentiment is from Regina's printable site, the Cutting Cafe. Check out all the fun things she has on her site here...

Snowman in Blue

I just got this chubby little Whipper Snapper snowman and had to ink him up! The swirls are from an EK Success border punch, the scalloped circle card is from the Wild Card cartridge, the snowflake is a Martha punch, and the rest is Stickled! tfl..........d

Embossing and sparkle!

I got a little carried away with the stickles on this one. Everything got stickled! I was inspired to stickle because of this glittery ribbon I bought at Michaels. I used a new embossing folder for the background and my favorite dot embossing folder on the bird. I use that dot one so often, love it! Word of warning........if you use this ribbon, you will have sparkles everywhere! Some of it comes off.......... tfl............d

Give Thanks

I'm bouncing back and forth between fall cards and Christmas cards. I much prefer to make Christmas cards because I'm never quite happy with the fall cards I make. This may be the only one. I had to cut out an extra arm and pop it away from her dress so that the little cut out pumpkin could sit behind her hand. Oops, timer is going off, gotta get some cookies out of the oven....tfl....d
