Happy Halloween!

I just wanted to say Happy Halloween to all of you.
I really enjoy this time of year. The changing leaves and crisp air.
I love seeing all the trick or treaters. But we have such a long driveway, they don't want to come down.
We have the best candy kids.... here are a bunch of Halloween cards to keep you in the mood.

I hope you have a Safe and Happy Halloween!
Thanks for visiting

Tip Tuesday.

Happy hello to all.

its tip tuesday yet again.
Has your day been well?
Mine was ok, long day at work. But i have made a cute test card at work today.
I love doing it on my break and lunch.

Today's tip: Using a corner rounder make a card not in a usual shape. Example: above card.
I used a corner rounder to round all corners. i also used it to do the layers on my snowman.
I think he came out pretty cute.

He is my test card for a set of christmas cards for a guys at work.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Hello to you!

Hello all. Thanks for hanging around.

I have been trying to get my muse back. I have been reading alot of magazines and getting some ideas.

I just got a email today. I won The Simply Charmed Cart from My Pink Stampers live contest!
I love her blog and am thrilled that i won. I can't wait to use it.

I wanted to show the two cards i have done. I have others but i am going to submit them for the magazines.

Since Halloween is this weekend. i wanted to show you all this adorable card i made with stamps from Penny Black. I also used K and Company paper-halloween. I just didn't color the cat in. Couldn't decide on a color for him.  I wanted to get another card ready for submitting to the magazine. I have gotten two published so far.


I am getting a jump on making winter/x-mas cards. Trying new layouts. This bear is so great for mens cards. i had to pair it up with christmas paper to get the pilots x-mas feel. I still have to take my time to color properly. all paper by dcwv. Love DCWV paper.

Thanks for viewing.

Tip Tuesday.

I decided that i will make Tuesday on my blog as A Tip that i learned that i will send along to you.

Today's Tip:

Example:
I learned this From My Creative Time: When stamping peachy keen stamp faces, make sure you color in the eyes with a white gel pen. It makes them stand out.  I loved how these pumpkins turned out. I even cut them out by hand.

I also love doing faux stitching. I can't sew at all. I maybe mend a sock but that's it.
I have done a male card with faux stitching.
I decided to not do a Throwback Thursday challenge. I can't give it the time it takes right this minute. Next one defiantly.
Thanks for checking out the blog today

Happy Sunday!

Sorry i haven't posted much this week. I haven't had much of a muse this week.
I am planning my Throwback Thursday project, and thinking about my Send Love today package.
I hoping to get them done early this week. I have to have the Throwback project done before Weds.
I did this for the challenge at splitcoast. I love using DCWV paper. I used stickers and rub-ons too.
I also love My Pink Stamper stamp sets. They are the highest quality you can find.(this from a final inspector-high praise). I need to get more. Hopefull everyone is happy and healthy.

Thanks for looking

SC302 and My pink stamper challenge

Well i have been a bust little cardmaker today at work. Mostly i do cards on my break and lunch period so i can relieve stress. Plus my co-workers like to see what i come up with.
I did this for Splitcoast Stampers scetch challenge 302. I used paper by the paper company, basic grey and georgia pacific. I love fluffles. and this stamp is great for birthdays. Colored with copics. I also used a cuttlebug folder to emboss the strip. i even handtied a bow.


This is for the challenge 302 and My pink stamper challenge to make something cute. Paper used: paper company, and georgia pacific. Fluffles again, colored with copics.  wanted to so the birthday hat as a embellishment. I think this is cute birthday card.
So what do you think?

Happy Columbus Day!

Well, its been another Columbus day here and gone. I did have to work. (it keeps me in my hobbies). :)

I have done a couple of more cards at work.

This card i did for the CAS88 Challenge on splitcoast stampers. I used recollections paper, Stampendous stamps(short stacks), and Memento ink. The challenge was to do a crinkle. I don't have the super gadget to crinkle my paper, so i had to do it by hand. The images were colored with prismacolor pencils.I like distressing edges.


This is a quick and simple card with no stamping. I used  bazzill paper for the base. the ladybug paper is by Heidi Grace. the epoxy sticker is also by Heidi grace. Can't you tell i hand did the bow.(i really have to work on that.)

I am still trying my hand at this blog, so it will be learning as i go.

Take care my friends
