New Action Wobbles....

If you've been living on another planet for a few months, maybe you haven't seen the new action wobbles!! I missed the deadline for the samples, but can't wait until they are on the market! But as I was looking for some inspiration on youtube the other day, I found this wonderful idea
and wanted to share it--here are three cards I made with it--I know--the sheep is too big--I'm going to put WILD AND WOOLY on the inside!!!




This little owl was missing something--so I made 'faux feathers' with some gold stickles--trust me--looks soooo much better!!!



This little guy is so cute and I used some silver sparklie paper and some need snow-flakes I got in the sale bin at Archivers last summer!1


Had to make this cute little mouse--I think it came out really cute.



Sorry it's been a few days--misplaced my camera--was sweating it for awhile!!!

Hugs ladies!!!

If you've been following me....

You know I am making assorted cards for my mother-in-law for a Christmas present. She is basically a 'shut-in' and gets upset when things are late. I think she will like them. I was going through the box I've done, and what I have posted on the blog and found a few I think I missed posting--soo--here they are.....

The rooster is from Just Because cartridge and I love the way the rooster came out--but I think it's too small. I'll make another one a little bigger sometime soon.




The sentiment that goes with it is 'something to crow about'! Love it!



This is from the Christmas Card solutions cartridge and I love the way it came out. It probably will be sent by me to someone. I added the ribbon and used a boarder punch on the bottom to make it 'MINE'. I added a little stickles to the wing and then some to the red berries.



I got the bowl of stawberries from Simply Charmed, along with the sentiment. I put the white 'dashes' on the strawberries to make them match the paper--I think it works!

The last one is ME! I love the attitude that goes with it! I got it from a website with verses for cards which helps me when I'm blocked. I think I made the turtle (from Paisley cartridge) just a tad too big...but she is so cute decked out with a ruffle and cherries!!




Well, I think that completes the unposted for now.

Hope you enjoy--and God Bless!

Hugs,
Linda

Two cards I made yesterday...



This one is for a very very dear niece, who was born one year and two days after my wedding, and is having a birthday this month. I live in Alabama and she lives in Va Beach.....so I haven't seen her or her twins in a very long time! I have a cupcake punch that makes a small--very small cupcake that I will probably add to the inside corner--0h yeah--and a gift card from Target--I love Taget!!! I used the 3 Birds on Parade cartridge--I just love that cartridge--and have a Happy Birthday stamp for the inside! I just love pink and brown together--going to have to go back to Hobby Lobby and get some more of that pokadot paper--I just love pokadots too!




This picture just doesn't do this card right! It is beautiful--even if I do say so myself!!

This one is for the best husband on this earth! And he's been my hubby for almost (4 Dec) 39 wonderful years. I used the Cindy Loo cartridge for the flower and the Lacy Labels Lite cartridge for the two scallops. The 'perals' are from my I-rock (love that tool!) I used red stickles on the flower part. I got this idea from a card that I saw on Tammy E.'s blog, Paper Pastimes of a Scrapbooking Mimi. If you've never gone to her site, you have a wonderful experience waiting for you! Thanks again Tammy, as I 'borrow' one of your ideas again. Just click on her website name to go to her blog--you won't be sorry. I hope Terry likes his card, and it is true, without him I would be very boring!!!!
