Another an apple a day idea......

This is from the Country Life cartridge-another one I haven't used alot, and after flipping through the booklet, I see some new possibilities!





I made this for my mom, she's been having some health issues, and thought this might let her know my thoughts and prayers are with her.


I have so many ideas in my head--need more time!

Hope you enjoy looking around!

Have a blessed day!

I got some cards done.......

Been so busy with college stuff, I haven't been posting, or even making many cards. Here's a few I finished up today......




A belated birthday card for my sister. I used the Country Life Cartridge on page 58. I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I saw it on Youtube and sorry to say I don't remember who did it. I used some 'digi paper' that I downloaded from SassyDesigns and they've got some sales going on now!



Here is a father's day cards I copied from Cardz TV with Mary. I just used the Sea Gulls on mine and I didn't have a punch so I used a design on Storybook cartridge and used the CENTER feature on the new Expession 2--boy--it was easier than the old expression! Got it centered on the first try. This will be for Terry's day. Gotta make one for me and one for Laura for her Paw-Paw! The cartridge is Life's a Beach.

I made some quick thank you cards for Laura and didn't even use the cartridge.





Thanks for stopping by....Have a blessed day!

and somemore!!!!!

I think my favorite part of this card is the colors! the pink and blues are really bright. This is a Cotton Blossom from Picturesque cartridge.




I just love this pitcher. It's on page 60 of Country Life Cartridge--one of the main reasons I bought this cartridge. The back bat is from Storybook cartridge and the sentiment is from a new die cut I got from Overstock.com.


Easy-Peasy cutting the sentiment--som much easier that cutting it with the cricut--did I really say that--I love my Cricut!!!




Yup--been busy!

I've been busy and sick..

I'm so sorry these are dark.

I use a shadow box and made a new one, but my light burned out and being handicapped, I can't change it. I didn't want to make cards in the dark, so decided to catch up on my blogging--but the pics are alittle dark

I made a few of these for our St. Louis family. We didn't go home for Christmas and we just got our presents in the mail, last week, so these are a few of the 'Thank you's' for our presents.

This strawberry and sentiment came from the Country Life Cartridge page 56.





My favorite 'doily card' from Wild Card Cartridge (one of my first) page 52. I made the flower with the Mother's Day Bouquet Seasonal Cartridge (I recommend this one to anyone who likes to use flowers--options are endless!) and the Butterfly is from a Martha Stewart punch (she makes the best!)and a couple of misc stamps I got from Michaels. This is a card that will be in my storage folder for one of those birthdays that sneak up on me.






Guess this is enough for this one.. stay tuned...got more coming!

A country life card....


I've got so many ideas for this cartridge, but remember a pitcher in a bowl in our guest room when I was growing up on a farm in Kentucky. I still think of myself as a country girl, even after living 30 years in St. Louis. I always felt like a round peg in a square hole---it wasn't a good fit.
I used Martha Stewards butterfly punch with 3 stamps for the butterfly and an unknown stamp set I pick up at Micheal's--'Just For You'--(I think).

I love adding a little surprise on the inside. I used an old Martha Stewart leaf punch and a set of a very small flower punch I got at Target (got a Christmas set and a cupcake set--top and bottom--also) and put a center on the flowers with my I-Rock. I think the little flower punch set is from EK.

I got my new solutions cartridge late yesterday afternoon -- Spring Holiday Cards -- they are so cute--came so close to not getting them! They are great for some really fast fun cards! Love them--will make pictures and post later!

Hope you like my Pitcher card. I LOVE COMMENTS!!! I would like to be making cards than blogging about the cards I made--UNTIL I get a comment on my post!

Thanks to you who regularly leave comments--they keep me sharing!
