Would love to see some more participation!

While I was sick

with the flu, I made some cards. This first one is one for a friend of my dh who just had a baby girl. What I like about this is the acrylic mat piece.

This next card was a christmas card using my new inkadoo stamps. I really like these stamps.

This next card is an alongated rectangluar card. I really like the small photo cuts that have the letters in them.

This next card is my all time favorite. I love the paper and I love the new ms paper border punches. This one is an edge around and double loops.
This next card is so fun. I love the stickles, the witches hat, and the toole adds just the right touch.
This next card is one I made for my oldest son who is in the navy and stationed in Conn. I really like how the front says just because...and the inside is because I miss you!


Lastly, here is a wall hanging I made with the new bo bunny kitchen papers. I so love bo bunny right now...lol

What I See card

This card was made for my ds, who was having a somewhat bad day. An old friend of his, ditched him, and when my son confronted him, the person started putting him down. It isn't the first time this has happened, and M was feeling pretty low about himself, so I thought he could use something to see what those of us who know him see....

This is what I cam up with. The card reads What I See In You

This is the front of the card:

This is when you open up the middle piece. His picture and the phrase tags are popups.

And here it is completely unfolded:

World Card Making Day

So were you able to get your creative groove on? or Did you participate in anything fun, like contests or games? I had to work, but did get a chance to make two cards.

Creating through Grief

So I decided to work on a couple of things to help me work out my feelings. I managed to make a desk layout for my husband and sympathy cards for mom and Aunt Mary.

Haven't Felt

Much like doing anything. I am in a big funk. My cousin who was to turn 21 this weekend, died of a drug overdose. He took two oxycottin, went to bed, threwup, and drowned in his own bed. This has hit me very hard, because of my youngest son. I just cant seem to shake this feeling.

Been Busy

So when dh went to reserves again this past weekend, I played a little with the new Sharon Ann Autumn Bliss line. They can be found at this link: http://stores.shop.ebay.com/Paper-Patch-Crafts_My-Little-Yellow-Bicycle_W0QQ_fsubZ224159013QQ_sidZ711701473QQ_trksidZp4634Q2ec0Q2em322 I made three cards using some of the papers and cute embellishments.

This one is my favorite. I love love the fabric tag. I went a little heavy on the distressing to give it an autumn bonfire feel.

What I liked about this card was the little tear in on the bottom, and also dry brushing gold perfect pearls on the prima leaf, and then inking it's edges.

This card is just a simple one, but I love the courderoy buttons and how the paper looks distressed.

I also made this layout for a friend of his dd who turned three. My favorite part of this layout was the hand embroidery I did. I stamped a flourish design on the paper, and then embroidered over it. It made an adorable vine which was perfect for the flowers and very cute butterfly.I also thought that the chipboard letters were to flat, so I dressed them up with stickles..lol

When I was looking at the top left corner, I wanted to do something a little different. I thought to myself, about how little girls at that age, are such love bugs, well.....that was all it took. I got out a piece of prima ribbon and some flowers and walaa. I did use some glossy accents on the heart so that it would stand out more.
