Almost Done!

Still dealing with a sick little girl but today she's back at school. I also asked the teacher about the bumble bee song, so she was kind enough to write down the words for us.

So I'm still working on my Cards for Soldiers. Keeping with the flower theme, and wanting to use my Walk In My Garden cart, I came up with this.

I also made ten of these, since they are so simple. They all have different color backgrounds, but each features some type of flower. The sentiment is popped up on 3D dots. I'm almost at 50 cards!!

Another One for Mother's Day

My little girl has been sick the past few days, so I'm just exhausted! I did manage to finish these last night. They are made with the Walk in My Garden cart. Not only that, but they were all made using scraps only! I'm not one to waste paper, so I try to use up every little bit...that's why all the background papers are different colors. So I've made 10 of these for Cards for Soldiers.

Mother's Day already?

For the latest round of Cards for Soldiers, a RAK has been offered to anyone who sends in 50+ cards! Well, I usually only make 15 at a time. In the spirit of friendly competition, I'm going to attempt to have 50 cards ready and mailed out next week. Oh, and the theme is Mother's Day with flowers, buttons, or non-traditional colors.

I know it doesn't look all fancy or anything, but I'm trying to make 50 total!! This is the first one. I've made 8 of this style. On to another! Oh, and this is made using Beyond Birthdays cart for "Mom" and Plantin Schoolbook for the flower.

Birthday Caterpillar

This little guy is cut from the Walk in My Garden cart on my Cricut. He's really cute...but I'm not sure about the card. It seems a little "busy." Have you ever started a project and then get to a point where you have no idea what you want to accomplish? Well, that's this card.

So this is NOT my favorite creation. I'm not even sure what to do with it.


He's got lots of dimension, sewing, bling and everything...maybe it was just too much?

Cards for Soldiers

This post is a little late, but these are the cards I made for the latest round of Cards for Soldiers. The challenge was to make different types of cards (birthday, love, miss you, etc) using one color scheme. I picked out a patterned paper and used that as the base for all the cards.

The pics aren't that great - but I was in a rush.

For the flower card, I used my Cuttlebug to cut the circles - great when making a lot of cards at once. The Happy Birthday card was made using Stampin' Up stamp and punch.

Just Bee-cause

I stamped this for no particular reason...well, I was avoiding my studies. Had a big exam yesterday, so I would color, then study, then color, then study....

I think I did OK. Well, at least I think I passed! Stamp is Stampabilities, cut with Nestabilities, background is Cuttlebug, prismacolor pencils and gamsol and I added shine to their wings.

I think these little guys are too cute!

Snail Mail

My favorite tool in card making is my Cricut Expressions machine. One of the first carts I got was Walk In My Garden, and I mainly got it for the flowers. Last night I took another peek at it and decided to use the snail. I thought "she" came out great. You know how sometimes you're happy with a creation and sometimes you're REALLY happy? Well, I'm REALLY happy about this one. Hmmm...who to send it to...?

I think I cut her at 3" but I could be wrong on that one. I did the shift for the shell in DP and sewed it in place. The sign is also from the WIMG cart. Added brads, flowers, ink to shade, and handcut the grass.
