If Friends Were Flowers

I guess you can't link 2 cards from the same post so here's the second card I made for the CAS-ual Friday challenge. I used Glossy Accents for the hair and the bouquet of flowers is glittered-I just couldn't get it to show up in the pic.

You Rock

The challenge at CAS-ual Fridays this week was to make a 4 x 9 card. I love making this size card but tend to get in the A2 rut. So I made a couple of cards while I was at it. The first one is a thank you card. I used a digital background printed on card stock, stamped and colored the instruments, made the rug from jute and used stickers for the sentiment.

Here's the link to the CAS-ual Friday site if you'd like to play along.

So many challenges, so little time.

There are so many card challenges I wanted to try this week but alas, I'm off to NC for a visit with family. Can't wait to see mom! Woo hoo! I know we'll hit the beach at least one day. Here's a pic of my daughter and her cousin the last trip we made.

Neutral Colored Cards

I made these cards for a challenge at the Scrapbook Expressions blog to use neutral colors. The pretty Bo Bunny papers really did all the work for me.

Foiled again!

Made these for a challenge to use aluminum foil at Scrapbook Expressions.

The Daddy Of Them All

A LO from a night at Cheyenne Frontier Days a few years ago. It was POURING rain during the day. I couldn't even get the camera out. Just in time for the evening concert, the rain stopped. Done for the Everyday is a Holiday challenge at Scrapbook Expressions.

So Sweet

I made this card for a new to me card challenge site, CAS-ual Fridays. Clean and simple cards. That sounds like a good fit for me. I always admire how striking some of the simplest cards are. Here's a link to their challenge if you want to play.

Edger Pocket Card

Done for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday challenge to create a pocket using edger dies.

I used an edger punch instead because I wanted  frilly edges. I made the pocket, folded the edges over, then added embossed papers to it to get the look I wanted. I'll stamp a sentiment on the inside when I use this card-it should work for birthdays or weddings. I stuck a couple of ticket stubs from my "stuff to include on scrapbook pages" stash to show the pocket.

You never know....

I had an extra alien just laying around. lol

Thank You Cards

My husband needed a card for a friend that took him on a fishing trip. I find masculine cards hard to do, but like how this turned out.

This one is for my son's summer school teacher. She is such a positive, caring teacher. Wyatt really enjoyed her class.

Friended

Friended, a fairly recent addition to my vocabulary. Done for the July inspiration challenge at Scrapjazz.

Who knew?!?

The official World UFO Day, July 2. lol

Hello card

Made for the Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge, Multi-Color Stamping With Ink Refills and for the Scrapjazz July Challenge of using a paper pieced image. I used yellow, orange and red refills to stamp the flowers. It is a cool technique. Here's a how-to link.

Scrap Whispers Summer Challenge

A card I made for the Scrap Whispers challenge. Incorporate a summer activity. I chose travel-mainly because I love this stamp and haven't had a chance to use it before. lol

18th Birthday card

The day I gave this card to a newly minted 18 year old was the same day that a Charlie Chaplin video was the Google Doodle of the day. It was the first thing the birthday boy said to me. I think we were the only 2 people at the party who knew...or cared.

Papertrey Ink masking technique challenge

I love PTI products! They have Make It Monday challenges and this week's challenge was a 2 step masking technique. It was a fun challenge. Here's the link- http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2011/06/make-it-monday-21-polaroid-2-step-masking.html

Airmen Cards

A friend of mine is organizing a summer card drive for deployed Airmen. I made a few cards.

Father's Day Cards

The computer card is my favorite because my husband is always giving my son a hard time over wasting time playing games.

Baby Cards

My take on the onsie cards.

General Use Cards

It's nice to have a few all occasion cards on hand.

Graduation Cards

We had several graduations this year-middle school, high school and college. I didn't take pix of all the cards I made, but here are a couple.

Shoot

Made this card for a challenge to use a die cut on a card. Now I need to miss the birthday of someone not opposed to guns. Not so tough in my neck of the woods.
