Loved this....

I actually saw this one made on youtube, and of coarse when I went back to find it, I couldn't--so if you made this and posted it--let me know and I will give credit where credit is due!

This is not one I would have done--but it was fun finding the papers and putting it together!

The Mushroom and sentiment came off the Paisley cartridge (haven't used it for awhile) the mushroom on pg 39 and just the sentiment with no shadow on pg 52 (w/shoes).



I think it came out cute and will be another good card to send to Operations Write Home.

Kinda masculine colors!

Thanks for stopping by!

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

I have been busy.....

guess I'll start posting some of my pix.

A lady that Terry worked with years ago in St. Louis, before they closed the base and most of us moved to the Huntsville, Alabama area, is going to retire. So I made her this card.

I got a new Martha Stewart punch that makes the 'lacey look'. I love it and have been punching all different colors so I would have them ready. I love her punches, they are easy to punch. I have arthritis and have trouble with some of them.

I used the butterflies on the Paisley cartridge on page 48. I think I cut the flower at 3" and the butterflies at 1" on the front and 3/4" on the inside. I used the flower on page 53 on the Pagoda cartridge.

I had a Celebrate stamp that I used on the front and finished it with a sentiment I printed off on the computer.

I love the pink and brown together.

I had to wait to post this until after Laura's B-day.

but her Birthday was Sunday. Eighteen! How did that happen? We have set-up some guidelines, but are giving her much more freedom with her choices.

Now for her cards. One from Dad and one from moma. The scalloped cards are cut at 5 1/2" from the Paisley cartridge, page 48. It is a perfect A2 fold. (4.25x5.5 card)
The large hearts are a Martha Stewart punch and Birthday Girl from Storybook with the shadow.




Dad's card was a copy of a card on Cardz TV with Mary--thank you Mary--this was PERFECT for my Laura--from her dad--a history there! The shoes are from Paisley cartridge--so easy to layer. The saying I got from Mary. The saying is: 'Give a girl the right pair of shoes and she can conquer the world'. I love it! Dad wrote he's given her what he could, the rest is up to God. or something like that! He's been one of the world's best!




My girl is her own person--loves to dress up.....and down! She loves cupcakes and we have a new cupcake shop here in Madison. Gigi's--and she picked out here own assortment for her Birthday Celebration. VERY GOOD!

Her card had 'Birthday Girl' from Storybook. And a cupcake and girl skull (with pink bow) from another new cartridge, Rock Princess. The surprise is the University of Alabama color scheme. Bear Bryant black houndstooth and Crimson red. Roll Tide!!!

Thanks for looking. Leave those comments--love them!

Hugs--Storylady

Cardz TV Challenge #3...

I loved your Paisley card so much....I copied it.


I to had not used this much, so it was fun. My daughter, Laura, actually got a set of these that stack when she was a little girl. She loved them.


I used 2 ribboins and two buttons--didn't have lace!


Thanks for looking!
