more cards

good morning to all,  i was looking thru some of my blog cards from times gone by and found this back ground for a new card, so I made 2

 made a frame with my design studio, makes it a lot easier to put the square in the boxed area

 before I added the horse

 added saddle up in the corner

more note cards

Good morning to all, I have been trying to get these note cards done before the weather turns so nice that I would rather be out side...

more cards to post.

 I ordered this background stamp from my sisters stampin up dealer, she had it wrapped up for my birthday present, what a surprise, I never gave it a second thought (thinking it was a book) I was totally surprised and everyone around could tell.

 love this!!! I have wanted the Christmas cartridge for a long time, but it was retired, so when I bought my Cricut Expression there was a $50. coupon for digital cartridges that can be used in the cricut craft room.  so I bought it and enjoying this cartridge..

donation cards

good morning to all,  My daughter is graduating  from high school in a few weeks. Every year the school asks for donations to be given away at the party for the kids following their ceremony.  Suggestions have been gas cards, laundry supplies, stuff they will need in the real world. I am not even sure if they want these but I am ready if they do!!! I will add pens and stamps to the gift basket if needed. I tried to think of things that kids would miss when off to college   like home, baked goods, a washing machine,,,it was also a great way to use up some of my scraps.  I left them all blank inside for writing room.

    

for Judy

I have a lot of bd coming and just need to get them done, this is for my girl friend, I try to make something that reminds me of her, and she likes to bake.

for M-I-L

I figure it is going to get nice out soon and I don't want to be inside making cards, so I am working ahead. This one is for my m-i-l for an April bd, I liked the back ground on my mom's so I kept it the same for this one.

gramps bd card, deconstructed sketch # 94

good morning to all, it is snowing like crazy again, but I don't think it will add up to much, they are huge flakes falling gently down.
I am really happy the way this card turned out. I saw this  at the deconstructed sketch and I knew exactly what cut I was going to use with these papers and even though my f-i-l birthday is not til the end of May, it is for him. 

Mika turning 11

Wow, time sure flies when watching children grow up,  Mikayla is  my nephews daughter who has turned into at bright young lady for only being 11....

box for note cards

Hello to all,
Cindy is the guest over at I spy sketches today, and  as I was looking through her blog I spotted her beautiful flocked Christmas box   you will find it here....

http://heartsdelightcards.blogspot.ca/2012/09/flocked-christmas-box-tutorial.html

her tutorial is easy to follow and well worth the try....
next time I would use a stronger paper, I had to reinforce the inside and cover with a card stock , it worked fine because it is not seen from the outside, I might also find a different way to tie down the cover, but for now and this one I am fine with it...also stop on over at ISSC. to see her lovely Christmas card...
