This card was made for a action challenge at scrappy mom.   I used the create a critter cart and some paper from Authentique. I made this for a little girls birthday.   I put the cat on an action wobble I got offline.   I think it turned out very nice.

This card was made for a color challenge at my creative time.   These are the flowers I made using the Flower Shoppe cart, the swirl is from a sizzix die, and the paper is from a mat stack from the Paper Studio.    I think it turned out very nice.

Today I have been working on a card for the challenge at Die cut Diva and Paper playtime.      I used SU paper for the card base, old olive and even an SU stamp, Loads of Love.   The other paper is from my stash.   I used Prismacolor markers for my truck; however, I used a black pencil on the tires to bring out the textured paper in the tires.   Hope you like this, have a great evening.

Today I have been working on flowers from the Flower Shoppe cart and 2 SVG files I got at Birds Cards, http://www.birdscards.com/ .   She always has the most wonderful designs. The SVG file, rolled rose and rose leaf, I started out at 3 in an went down to 1.5, I made the leaf a half size smaller.   I cut them out of Megan Elizabeth Paper layers.  They turned out nice; however, the larger the rose the harder it is to turn down the petals.   I will have to use these on a box or other project, except the smallest one.   The pink Flower Shoppe ones are the scallop1 design, the yellow ones are the daisy 1 and the blue one is sunflwr 1.   They are all cut from standard white card stock and then colored with spritz I made from SU inks.   I did two sizes 2.5 in and 2 in, they turned out great and I can’t wait to use them.   This size is just right for a card.   Hope you like this, have a great weekend.

Today I have been working on rosettes, trying to get the right weight and height ratio. I think I got the hang of it, although my first few attempts were not very good.   Both were cut at 12 X 1.5, however, you can see that they are a different size.  The first one had about a 1/4 inch cut off with the edge cutter I used.  The second didn't cut any off but only cut the stars within the edge.    Both cards have a SU base of old olive.   The other papers are from DCWV and K&Company.   I don’t remember where I got this stamp.     I think these turned out very nice.

Today I have been working on a card for my sisters birthday.   All the paper is from SU.   It is a standard A2 size, but I made it into an easel with a spellbinders die in the center and for the sentiment.   The Magnolia stamp is Tilda in the garden.   The fabric flowers were found in my stach box.    I think this turned out very nice.   I am entering this in these blog challenges: http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com/ http://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/   http://partytimetuesdays.blogspot.com/2012/02/ptt57-anything-goes.html Hope you like this, have a great weekend.
