A Beach Buddy's Valentine......

See the real sand in the cup?

Inside - Where your treasure is, there too will be your heart.

There is the heart!

LOVE!

Sweet

What?....is this really mine?

Ok, so I'm on the up hill side of a bad funk. No wait, that doesn't make sense. I mean that I am starting to make my way out of a slump and this card is me trying really, really hard to do that. It's not that bad is it? Ok, it's not great but you have to start somewhere and well, here it is.

Simple Valentine....

Whooooooooo loves you?......ME!

Simple Thank You card....

I made this card for a couple of gifts we received. I got a Coach bag and Johnnie got a Coach wallet. So I got my inspiration for the thank you card from this wallet box.

So here is my real quick and simple thank you card.

I recycled the ribbon from my present. Looking at the picture now, I wished I would have ironed the ribbon before I put it on the card. Here is a close-up of the embossing.

Ghosting Christmas.....

Ghosting is what the technique is called that was used for this card. I decided to join in on the ghosting challenge at Just Us Girls Blog. I really had a hard time today being creative. I think it shows a lil bit. But I think it is kinda cute. BTW, I used the scoring tool from Stampin' Up! to make the background (seen in red).

Fourth and Final in my "Peace on Earth" Series

This card is as sweet as crumb cake! There's a lot going on here but yet it has a simple look. It's got glitter, crimping and embossing OH MY! See the silver snowflakes?

Number 3 in my "Peace on Earth" series

This is card 3 of my "Peace on Earth" mini series. I have one more left to do. For this one, I am participating in a challenge from Clean and Simple Stamping blog.  I struggled with this card for some reason. It's a miracle that it still has any glitter left on it. When making cards, sometimes it's a hit and sometimes it's a miss. What do you think here, a miss? I do like the inside...... and the outside is growing on me.....

 

sketch challenge

Beautiful Baby

I have taken a little break from my "Peace on Earth" mini series. I had to do this color challenge from CR84FN Color Challenge . I got the inspiration for this card from a baby gift I bought not too long ago.  It was a little dress with lots of pink ruffles and black polka dots. When I found this challenge I thought of that little outfit first thing.
