Lovin' my ATG 714...

You are so right Doubleclick--I cut out 6 'Bird-day' cards so I will have some ready--in advance--can you believe it? I'll post pictures later. Dau made a sympathy card for someone at her boyfriends church who had twins, premature, and one died. Sad.

I'll post a picture of hers too, tomorrow.

I even used my Texture Sizzix, it worked great and not heavy! Lovin' it too!

The UPS man stopped by today....finally!

and two separate boxes.

I've been wanting the AGT 714....and I got one!



And I broke the handle on my Cuttlebug, so I got the Sizzix Texture Boutique. It's a lot lighter and if I break this handle...I think it's replacable--and got a great deal on-line.




:) It's a good day!

This is going to be short....

These are from the Wild Card Cartridge. I like the colors--they're manly!

My dh got me an easel to put my cards on when I take the pictures--bless his heart!

I used a white pen to 'dash' the letters--I think it stands out a little more--I did it on the one above too, but it didn't show up in the picture very well.

I matted the inside and put a peice of paper for Terry to write a note to his dad.

The evelope is to the side--fits perfect.

Coughing cruds again....

but I have a pig card cut out and two Father's day cards cut out! Hubby actually asked me to make one for his father. My father is in heaven, but he is with our Father!

I'll post pictures later.

Just wanted to let you know, I'm still lerking around. Thanks for the visits--I love the comments and you wonderful ladies that share your videos, pictures and instructions.

I did have a nice lady give me a hint that I knew, but really haven't been doing.

HINT: Store your stamp-pads upside down and the ink will be brighter because it is all at the surface.

Granny's Birthday card....

Granny Smith--it's true! This is Laura's boyfriends grandma--but she has taken Laura under her wing, since her grandmas are over 400 miles away.

Laura gave me about 3 hours notice to get this done--this is how it came together...



Three cartridges were used--thank you Jukebox!
Cartridge one: A Child's Year-page 48 (school) I used the card--cut at 5 1/2
Cartridge two: Beyond Birthdays--page 96 (Happy Birthday) and used the Shadow blackout
Cartridge three: Doodlecharms--page 108 (cupcake) and shift-cupcake top.

I could have done better if I hadn't been rushed--guess I'd better make a few and keep them on hand!

Hugs to you all! Have a blessed evening!

Another Critter Card...

I love these little Owls! One I did at 2" and the other at 1 3/4".

I got in the mail today some Peachy Keen Stamps I ordered. This is set PK-754 Critter Faces SET A Medium.

And of coarse the My Pink Stamper 'Who loves you?'

A while back I bought some small (4.5" x 6.5") papers. This is from DCWV The Blossoms & Butterflies Stack.


Hope you enjoy this. I'm havin' fun now!

Toad-ally Fabulous darling

I LOVE my 'Create-A-Critter' cart, and now love the My Pink Stamper Punny-licious stamps.


This is the first card in the cartridge and I love the way it layers now!

I think I cut the frog @ 3"
The striped mat (5 1/4 x 4) is DCWV Flower Shower Spring Stack
The Tree Mat (5 x 3 3/4) is My Mind's Eye-Summer Song

I used the Cuttlebug-divine Swirl for the blue water
and left a 'unembossed' edge at the bottom to stamp 'Toad-ally Fabulous!"

I ordered a stamp for the back of my cards today. I found this really cool web-site Paper Angel Heavenly Rubber Stamps.



I think this is the one I ordered.

I also ordered a cute return address stamp with just my name.
