Oriental Cards...

Here are more cards that I created this past weekend. I used the retired SU stamp set Oriental Paintings to make this card. I actually bought this set a while back and never used it. I love the images but just didn't know what to do with it... color it or leave it blank? I guess you can see that I decided to make it simple and emboss the image instead.

More Notepads...

These are some notepads (inspired by Shirley) that I created over the weekend. I think I need to still work on my coloring. As you can see, I don't do too well with shading. But that's another goal I've set for myself this year... try to learn the proper techniques of coloring. Maybe I should just let my hubby color these images next time? He's the art lover in our household. Anyways, thanks for stopping by... have a great day!

Simple Cards...

This is one of the cards I made this weekend. I was feeling a bit under the weather from all this vog in the air, but I still wanted to do some crafting. Unfortunately, I couldn't remember where I left my "creativity" so this is all that I could come up with. I just used some SU DSP for the background and stamped the sentiment.



This was my second attempt at a card this weekend. I think I did a little better on this one. Hope you like it. Check back tomorrow to see what other projects I've been working on...

OCS From Kyoko...

Here is the OCS that I received from Kyoko. Isn't it the cutest? I love the background image and she must have known that I really love my ice cream too! When I found out that she was my partner... well you could say that I was feeling the pressure to come up with a great card. But it is so funny to find out that she felt the same way! Kyoko, I love my card and I hope you liked the one I made too! Please visit her blog if you haven't checked it out yet!

Melon Mambo Gift Card Holder...

This is a gift card holder that I created using the Melon Mambo DSP, Well Scripted stamp set, and Flower Fusion embellishments. I also used the Scallop Trim Border punch for the edges of the outer envelope. Another quick and easy GCH to make when you don't have much time. Have a great weekend!

My First BIA Project...

Woohoo! Did I tell you that I finally got a Bind-It-All machine for Christmas? This is my first project that I made. I can't believe how easy it was to make and use the BIA. I used my HK embosslit, HK dp, and the HK ribbon that I got from my friend Beth. I also used the new border punch that SU came out with... Pinking Hearts. I am really loving all the new stuff that SU came out with in the Occassions Mini and the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. Go check it out if you haven't done so yet!

Daughter's School Project...

My oldest daughter made 30 of these CD calendars for a school project. They were given a budget of $10 to make at least 30 of an item that was recycled (she was well within her budget). Of course she choose to use CD cases and wanted to use my stamp stuff too! I have to say... she did a pretty good job of coloring and cutting out these images. I guess I know who to ask for help when I don't feel like coloring or cutting...hehehe!
