fancy circle edge

good morning to all,this one is going to my girlfriend for her birthday, I used the circle on page 65 in Art Philosophy,  shift font layer and deleted most of the design in the center and welded a circle from George in the white and placed another circle in the brown on top of that for the background.
this is also for a challenge over at paper playtime #89   anything goes
used a lot of my glitter pen to sparkle things up!

I Spy Sketches # 41

Hi all,   Lydia is getting this cute little lamb instead of the lion....

HB Diane!

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. (my daughter talks way too much for any serious hunter to take her along) I came up with this 3 page card for Diane.

                       cannot have deer tracks without a deer!

Lydia turns 2

good morning,  this is for my nieces daughter, who will be turning 2 on Sat. 
not sure if you can see, but I made the background by welding together from art philosophy, I was going for a cage look for the lion...

Kiem baby card

Good morning to all, It is snowing in central WI this morning,  had to warn my daughter of the "it is slippery out and people are not used to snow on the ground, so slow down"  I think it went in one ear and out the other....
this is for a friends new baby and I always send something for the other so they do not feel left out,

                you counted right!   and baby makes 6

thinking of you

Good morning to all, or maybe I should say very foggy out today!!!
I have been wanting to make this card since I first saw it 3 years ago on Kelly's blog,  but I did not have my design studio at that point and when I did have it, I just could not get it to weld properly .....until now... I found this on pinterst, pined it and forgot about it, until  a few days ago I was looking through boards and saw an interesting picture that said   my cricut font list, updated monthly...even though I don't have many font cartridges I clicked on it anyway.....and happy I did ...the front page said  cricut lovers guide to design studio..

baby shower for Becky

Hi all, this morning my daughter asked me to make her a baby shower card for tomorrow....a lot of notice there!!!I went with i spy sketches, made it  square and had to make a special envelope for it because it turned out to be a 6 1/8 square card, just a little more work for me, but I got it done!!!!
I love these little feet from new arrival, no inking on this card   I wanted to keep it clean looking,  looks a bit washed out from the lighting..
