fish

Jeff's fish

Over Christmas break we went to a cabin my daughter rented and it was on a lake, the weather was beautiful the day we were there and they were able to go ice fishing. So that is how I came up with this card!
this is a 5.5 x 4.25 size card and with it having a off set if fit into a 6.5 x 4.75 envelope

It has been awhile

 Oh my goodness, I have been so busy since my daughter has moved back in with her daughter that I did not even know there were pictures still in my camera that I have not posted, but then I have not had much time to make cards either. So it has been a roller coaster of emotions for me around here.

                                  for 2 people from church that were in a car accident

                                         2 little grand nieces that are close in age

                                               wish I could remember

Jason's bd card

good morning to all, It has been awhile since I last made a card, just to hot upstairs in my craft room...
this was a quick and easy card to put together, I saw someone use Martha Stewart punch on a different card with 3 punched stripes and I thought it would be a great way to use up some of my scrapes... I think it looks great as water.......

I cut the strips of paper  to 1/1/2 inches by  7 inches to get them to line up right..
camp out fish is at 3 1/2 inches

good morning to all,   My daughters good friend from kindergarten is turning 17 this weekend and when I asked Britt what she was interested in, much to my surprise she said deer hunting.

 and over at cardztv....

Cricut Cardz Challenge #114 "Critter Cuties"

 what would camping be without the little critters that live in the great outdoors....it seems like we could never go camping without a skunk showing up, and the trip the the outhouse could always hear hoo, hoo

I used stretch you imagination for the tree,
camp out for the skunk
create a critter for the owl and branch and stars
campin critters for the tent

fishing

good morning,  I showed my daughter the "you rock" card I had made for her boyfriend and she looked at it and told me he is not into music...he is into fishing, so back to the drawing board and I came up with this one.
If she thinks it is too girly, she will be getting it for her bd...  it is a coral color, looks more pink in picture.

Mojo Monday 225

Are you ready for Cricut Cardz Challenge #97? This week "A Caroling We'll Go!" Make a card for Christmas based on your favorite Christmas song, using any cartridge(s) and using any colors you'd like.

Hi all,  as I was thinking about my favorite Christmas song, it coming back to "I'm dreaming of a white Christmas" and as I was sitting hear I looked out my window and saw this beautiful huge moon coming up..   thinking back, I always loved snow falling Christmas Eve, with the sparkle in the snow. and of course it is at night.... for a girl who hates the cold you would think that it would be something like "chest nuts roasting on an open fire"
 anyway, here is what I came up with....

cricut 360 challenge # 4 the great outdoors

Hi all, this is another card I had on my DS, all I had to do is cut it out,I did over size the tree on the right to make it look more interesting, but now it has to go into a 1/2 card size envelope  oh well!!

Challenge # 4 - Create a card or a layout representing "The Great Outdoors".  

Every designer has  interpreted in a different way and we will love to see your take on this one...
 I used a chalk to dull the moon a bit, was a bit too bright for me...
everything is from camp out, every great out doors needs a great out house!! and a little greeter!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge # 83

For challenge #83 make a card with summer apparel or an accessory, using any cartridge and colors you'd like. You'll have until Tuesday, July 19th at midnight (EST) to enter your card


what is summer without a great camp fire and the locals entering the camp site???
this is one memory I have as  a child when the skunk walked under our lawn chairs, all my dad could say is,
"feet up and don't move!"
the great talks we would have late at nite, the ghost stories told and my brother sneaking up behind us little girls and scaring the dickens out of us.  Oh, the memories!!

Jason's 1st Father's day

Good Morning all, for this card I started making a A2 size card but because of the pop dotting that I did, it made the card too bulky under the fish,   on my DS it looked fine!!! so I decided to off set the trees and make it to fit into a  4 3/4 x 6 1/2 envelope....I think it turned  out better with the off set!
lots of inking, layering, pop dotting, easel card....and I am not sure if you can see, but I used real fishing line to the fish hook...you can click on picture to enlarge

I had to make a mans card for my brother, lots of inking, and layering in this card...
