Birthday card for my Aunt

I made this card for my Aunt Sandra. I like the old-fashioned feel for her, and I think she will like it, too! I put some microbeads in the center of the flower.   I am entering this in the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge this week.

Thanks for visiting!

Birthday Card for a Dear Friend

Ha ha! I bet you were expecting another Easter card!  I made this for a dear friend's birthday. We have been friends for over 30 years now. It is hard to believe that much time has flown by.   I am entering this in the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge this week.

Thanks for visiting!

Octopus vulgaris

I made this layout with the new Graphic 45 collection "By the Sea." Do you think I could have found a better patterned paper for my photos? I think not!!

Anyway, I made this for my friend Stacy's challenge and also for Simon Says Journey challenge. We journeyed to San Francisco....

Thanks for looking!

Father's Day Card - Masculine Bicycle

I made this card using CPS Card Sketch 220.  I flipped it, but I thought it worked nicely with the elements!   I am entering it in Simon Says ,,,,, Father's Day / For a Male challenge! I thought it turned out rather well.  The stamps and buttons are some newer ones from CTMH. The paper under the bicycle image is Tim Holtz. The ribbon is Cosmo Cricket. I don't know where the clock came from, but I got it from Melissa O'Neill a while back. And, the  center of flower in the middle of the clock is from Graphic 45  from my friend Stacy.  It is also for her challenge.

Baby Card with Graphic 45

I was super thrilled to see that I had won an 8 x 8 paper pack from Graphic 45 recently!! Thanks for sending it out!  Once Upon a Springtime is my favorite collection of theirs!!!! I was also excited to see the Simon Says - Look What The Stork Brought ! challenge!  The flower is Prima. I made a banner from a Studio Calico stamp and cut some of the excess off of some Kaisercraft letters. I also added a little pink semi-circle at the top of the banner.  I'm actually proud of this card. I usually don't like making cards and am horrible at it!!  I also entered this card at Sketches 4 All...

Christmas 2009

I'm still working on Christmas 2009 photos! I made this one for Scrapfit's challenge to include hand-made flowers! I mainly used Graphic 45 with the exception of the gold shimmery paper and brown mats which are DCWV. The ribbon is from CTMH and the poinsettia is from Hero Arts...

Thanks for looking! I appreciate everyone who stops by my blog! I'll know you were here if you leave a comment!

Have a great day!

2009 Christmas

Yes, I'm lame. I'm just now getting to last year's photos!  I used Graphic 45, Teresa Collins and the trim is from Crate Paper. The only other thing I used on this simple layout is Crystal Stickles around the Teresa Collins accents! I used The Scraproom Blog Week #50 SKETCH and The Paper Variety's Week#14 Photo Inspiration Challenge.  For The Paper Variety, I used the colors and the Santa Hat (both on the Graphic 45 Santa and on our son!  This is the first layout I've made in a while! I almost forgot how to do it!


Merry Christmas to all the lovely bloggers out there who read my blog!!!

Checkers
