Today I am working no some paper flowers; I have been looking at a lot of how to videos lately to see who has the best technique.  I used an old mouse pad and my MS rolling tools.  I rolled the edges under and them the center to make it stand up. This flower is from Flower Shoppe the heart one. I used 2 at 1.5 in 1 of each of 1.25, 1, and .5. It could use another one at .75 but I think this one looks good. I inked all the edges, put a pearl in the center and added some Sizix Branch w/leaves, I have had this die for years and it always come in handy. The center doily is from SU, as is the background paper. 




Hope you have a wonderful Tuesday.  Thanks for stopping by.

I will be entering this in the following challenge:

    I wanted to thank you for the beautiful card that you made and sent to Operation: Write Home. It arrived in a box to my ship deployed in the Indian Ocean yesterday. It is so pretty that I grabbed it immediately. I am sending it home to my 10 year old daughter! Thank you for your kindness.

Today, as is most days, I am working on cards.  I just sent off a batch to OWH and I need to get my stack ready to send out again. Next week will be spring break and I thought I would do a spring like card. I just love the Teddy bear parade cartridge and this little bear for St Patrick's day. I used some stickles on his pot of gold and hat band and lots of green paper.  Hope you like this and will come again soon. These are the challenges I will be entering: http://www.ttcrd.blogspot.com/2014/03/through-craft-room-door-march-4.html http://everybody-art-challenge.blogspot.com/2014/03/268.html http://challenges4everybody.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/challenge-39-anything-goes.html 2 Cute ink - http://2cuteinkchallenges.blogspot.com/2014/03/challenge-101.html http://www.cardsinenvy.blogspot.com/2014/03/think-green-challenge.html http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2014/03/fccb-challenge-200-pick-holiday.html http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/2014/03/mim181-with-time-fo...

I found this cute digital image in my library, I don’t know where it came from. But it is so cute and just made me think of Halloween and fall.  I had these cute leaves in a draw loose, and thought they added a nice touch to the card. I used Prismacolor markers and gelly roll pens for coloring the image.  I love the cooler days and this morning I was able to enjoy my coffee on the porch, God knows we need this rain. I checked the gage this afternoon and we got .70 here in north Texas.  Thanks for stopping by.  Sorry the photo is a little crooked.  Hope you like this and come again soon to see what I am working on. I will be entering this card in the following challenges: http://www.jadedblossom.com/2013/10/october-challengeanything-halloween.html http://craftspotbykimberly.blogspot.com/2013/10/monday-challenge-115-3d-halloween.html http://www.abcchallenges.blogspot.com/2013/10/abc49-halloween.html http://cisforchallenge.blogspot.com/2013/10/c...

I can’t believe it will be Valentine ’s Day next week. I have a few anniversaries this month also to make cards for.  I used my Cricut to make this wonderful bear from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge. I embossed the hearts and designed the card from the MOJO sketch.   This turned out so cute. Thanks for stopping by, come again soon.  The Challenges: http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2014/02/mojo-monday-331-contest.html http://ppp-makeitmonday.blogspot.com/2014/02/mim177-with-milk-coffee.html http://challenges4everybody.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/challenge-38-anything-goes.html http://onecrazystampercom.blogspot.com/2014/02/february-anything-goes-challenge.html http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/2014/02/valentine-heart-challenge.html
