I love love love making cards!

ENJOY!!!

A fun  Easter card - all from  clip art. then sparkled with stickles.

Some fun Valentine's cards - stamps I bought at Hobby Lobby,  colored with Copics, and sparkled with Stickles.  I added the leaves to the vine...it was toooo plain for me.

Google "coloring book pages" - they're free!  There are thousands of images, sorted very nicely.  You have to manipulate your print menu to get it to print on a quarter page.   Coloring was done with Copics...man it was hard...I had to watch several videos to get it right.  I watch videos on ScrapBitz.blogspot.com.  I found the  bb paper at Hobby Lobby.

 I made this for a friend who's son was going to get to play a college bb game in Ranger's stadium.  The inside said "good luck."  I added the T on the uniform and Rangers on the bat.

Some birthday cards:

 Inside:  It just makes your life brighter!

Stamp by Judith...and colored with highlighters!  I use highlighters alot when I don't need to shade.  Also, they do not bleed, so you can print & color directly on the card...and of course sparkled with stickles.  All of the printing was done in word art on the computer.

  

I used word art & shapes in microsoft to make the sign.

You can't see it in the pic, but the border is sparkley!

Happy Birthday was cut with the Cricut and then sparkled with stickles, but I don't remember what cartridge.  Sorry.

Here's one of my favorites:  cut from Gypsy Wanderings on the Cricut, then I added the diamonds!! To make the print white in  a black rectangle....use Excel...use white paper, make your font white and fill the box with black!

Another fun one:   all Cricut cuts and sparkled with Stickles!



For a friend getting married.....I cut the love with my cricut and then added diamonds to the heart   I have also made it double matted...with the brown on bottom and leopard on top ....with a "hot pink" LOV E. A sweet sentiment:  May this day you share be filled with love and laughter.  May all the days ahead be happy ever after.

"Thanks" is a Cricut cut.  I only sparkled the flower with stickles.

Once again, in clipart!!!  I made this for a co-worker that just had a baby....Sleep is over-rated!

My first blog...oops my 1st chicken scratchin'

I've gone thru my pictures and found some of my favorites....

First is a Get Well card.....

    It is made with Stamps by Judith & Copic markers...then sparkled with Stickles.
The sentiment is one of my favorites:  Comfy jammies, cozy bed, big soft pillow for your head.  Worry not the world can wait, take your time to recuperate!


Next is a "custom" wedding card:  I used my Cricut for "Love" and my Hot Rock tool for the bling.



I have just recently made my first diaper cakes....wow...so much fun!  (but I must warn you, they are expensive to make...each cost me about $45 just for materials).

Note the snails from wash cloths!

Next...some special birthday cards:

Cupcake: Cricut-Sweet Retreats

Stamps by Judith, Copic Markers, & embossed





The big cupcake was in clipart.  The row of little cupcakes was a stamp from   ???  and then filled in with LaPlume markers.  (Copic markers will bleed all the way thru the paper...so if I'm not cuttin' & pastin", I use the other).  Then of course sparkled with Stickles.



I added a caption on the side of the wagon:
Consucius says:  retired husband is often wife's full-time job.

My friend's husband just retired and they bought 5 acres in the country.  All of this was in Clipart. No bling on this one.


Well, this all for today, I hope you have enjoyed my first post!
