Happy Thanksgiving !!!

I am really looking forward to this afternoon, as my family and I are all getting together for this wonderful holiday. This card was made with a couple of Me & Carrie Lou Pumpkin Stamps. I used cardstock from SU. Versamark ink and Gold Embossing Powder on the Pumpkins and the saying, which came from Flourishes Many Sentiments. I colored with my Copic Ciao Markers. The ribbon is from A.C. Moore and the Gold Dots are from a stash I had from last year. The leaf is also from A.C. Moore. I used some gold dots in the middle of the flower from Michaels, Martha Stewart's branch punch, and Mega Nestabilities Curved Rectangle. To finish it, I used Robin's Nest Pebbles in the corners.









Here is a close up of the pumpkins...





I wish you all a Very Happy Thanksgiving !!! Be Safe and thanks for your visit!

Thank You from Flourishes

I know that I have been posting only once a week lately, but I have a lot going on right now. As you can see it is midnight and the only reason I am posting now, is because my precious 'Piper' had to go outside. I thought...now would be a good time to post...and now when I look at this picture, I wonder..."did ya ever think about what the background would look like here?" LOL...guess not :)

Here is another version of the Flourishes Thank You set. I used VersaMark ink and embossed with Gold Embossing powder and a heat gun.

Then background is the all famous Cuttlebug folder with square Nesties in gold paper. The ribbon came from A.C. Moore and then I used the Pretties Kit from SU and placed a pearl in the center of the flower. Simple, but very nice I think.

Wishing you all a great 'rest of the week.' Thanks for stopping by :)

Flourishes Poppy Patch

Today is Veteran's Day and I know all of you are praying for our troops...What bravery they must have and I am so proud of all that they are doing for our country!

This card is made with Flourishes Poppy Patch stamps. Also, Flourishes Many Sentiments (Thank You). The cardstock is SU's Green Galore...DP paper is from Once Upon A Time and SU's Groovy Guava DP Series. I colored with my Copic Markers and Copic Glitter Pens. I wish the glitter would have shown up in these pictures, because that is what makes this card so beautiful in person. Alas, I really need to take some photography classes...but when? Working full time and family makes it hard to find the time. One day...I also used by Cuttlebug Rectangle Folders and a white singo pen and one Swarovsky Crystal for the middle of the Poppy Flower.



Gotta run...Dentist today....ugh! Have a great week all :)

Thank You Set from Flourishes

This is the Thank You Set from Flourishes.
I love this let because it is so versatile...You can use it for almost any occasion...including Birthdays and Sympathy cards...I used miscellaneous paper from Hobby Lobby. The Oval Nestabilities around the image. I colored the image with my Copic Markers and used Liquid Pearls around the oval. The bow also came from Flourishes and I topped it off with a Robin's Nest Pebble.




I wish you could see the Copic Glitter Marker that I used around the edges of the flower...It is so much prettier in person. I will say click on it to get the deets, sometimes it works, and sometimes it does not work.

Happy Halloween !!!

Here is a close up of the bottom where I used Graphite Stickles and SU's big glitter (???) not sure of the name.

Hello All You Halloweenies ~ This is short because I have much to do in the way of trick or treating...Parties galore and of course tonight's trick-or-treating. This is another one of my 'cheap' stamps from A.C. Moore...I won't go into the making of the card because I do not have time...and if you look close enough, you can see that it is just a simple card without much ado.

Wishing you all a very Happy Halloween and please stay safe tonight :)

Another Baby Card

Here is another baby card that I made for a friend. The bottle stamp is from Rubbernecker Stamps I have had so many orders using this stamp either in pink or in blue, and I just love the cute image. I used SU's Pretty in Pink Cardstock for the base. The pink stripe paper is from a miscellaneous pile of paper I had. I used my Coulzzle to make the oval shapes. You cannot really see it unless you click on the pic, but I used Cuttlebugs "Frills" embossing folder on the top and bottom of the striped paper. Colored the image with my Copic Ciao markers and added the sticker butterfly where I made a mistake. Isn't it grand to have something to cover up mistakes? I then used my SU's Pretties Kit flowers and Swarovski Crystals to add a little bling.

I hope you guys don't get tired of seeing this image as I have more to come, specifically blue and pink.

I am off to Holiday Market today with my sister and her daughter and my daughter...Holiday Market is what we have every year and it is booths of local stores in and out of our area...great for Christmas shopping. They have all kinds of booths from foods, jewelry, sterling silver, children's clothes, women's accessories, etc. We are going to have a fabulous time...I look forward to this event every year. Thousands of people attend and that is the only downfall (I hate being in crowds), but it is so much fun that it is worth it.

Wishing you all a very happy and safe weekend. Don't forget to click on the pic to get a better "see" :)

Halloween Jack-O-Lanterns

Hey guys ~ This is one of the stamps that I bought at the A.C. Moore Store that is closing in our area. They had a huge bin with hundreds of stamps, mostly Halloween stamps and you could buy 10 stamps for $2.36....so I bought 10 stamps....I will probably go back to get some more in a day or two. You just cannot beat that price.

The cardstock came from Flourishes
I do not remember the color, sry :( The Halloween paper came from A.C. Moore. I used orange Angel Hair Paper (I bought this years ago on the internet) on top of the purple cardstock and then added some spider stickers and Robins Nest pebbles. I also used the Robins Nest pebbles on the jack-o-lanterns and on the DP paper. Of course the image is colored with my Copic Ciao Markers and set on the Nestabilities Ovals and the ribbon came from Flourishes also.

This was a fun card to make...of course, I think anything Halloween is fun! The weather here in Bama is just gorgeous...in the 50's and 60's and you can almost smell Halloween in the air. Hope you all enjoy and have fun and stay safe this weekend :)
