Clean and Simple - Really!

 

Hello Everyone!

 

I hope you all had a great Easter. We had my family over to my house for dinner. It was nice to have everyone together. But it's also nice to have the peace and quiet again :).

 

The card I made to share today is actually the Anniversary card I made for my hubby. This Wednesday we celebrate our 16th. This time I really truly made a clean and simple card. It was painful not adding flowers and lace lol! But for him, it's just right.

 

I used Squeezy Hugs from SOG:

Isn't this image sweet? I love it.

 

 

A close up of the couple:

 

I thought this image was perfect because it reminded me of us when we first started dating 26 years ago so I had to color the boy's hair sandy blond just like my husband had when we first met.

 

That's all for now, short and simple just like the card :).

 

Have a great day,

 

Christine

 

 

 

 

 

 



Get Well

 

Hi there all my fellow bloggers!

 

So the sickness is still running rampant through my house. Every time one person gets over something, another person gets sick. But my poor daughter keeps getting hit with everything that is going around. Now she has Strep throat! It's just one more reason that I can't wait for the warm weather to stay. It stops all of these illnesses. At least for a little while.

 

 

The card I am sharing today is a get well card for my best friend. She had foot surgery a couple days ago - ouch! I chose Puppy Gwen from SOG. Yes, I am still hooked on these images. I have tons more to use still!

 

 

I chose this image because it reminded me of her. She has a little Chihuahua and she always wears a bow in her hair.

 

Here's a close up:

 

 

I had to add this cute BFF cut out I found in the Silhouette store:

 

 

And I added some rose buds that I made:

 

 

I had to make the card mostly pink because that's her fav, but I did add some other colors this time.

 

That's all for now. I hope you like it :).

 

Have a great day,

 

Christine

 

 



 

 



Easter Card

 

Good Morning Ladies!

 

 

I hope this finds everyone well. Today is a good day. My son is recovering nicely from his surgery, so that makes me very happy. There's nothing worse than your child being in pain and not being able to just kiss it away. At least he is finally on the mend.

On to my card.

I made one Easter card. Just one lol. This is for my aunt who sent me a card so it gave me a reason to use this cute stamp.

 

 

I love this stamp. She is so adorable. Of course I colored her with my Copics

 and I cut most of the images with my Cameo.

 I tried not to put any bulky embellishments on because it has to be put in the mail, but that is very hard for me! I just love adding roses and all the fun stuff so I feel like this card is rather bare.

To be honest, I was just being lazy and didn't want to have to go to the post office to mail it so I had to keep it rather flat so I could just pop it in my mailbox. 

I suppose it doesn't pay to be lazy, does it lol.

 

 I did put a little extra on the inside though.

 

 

 It made me feel a little better since I didn't add all the extras.

 

Well that's all for now. I have tons of images colored, I just need to find time to put them on a card so hopefully I will be back soon with another to share.

 

Have a fun and crafty day!

Saturated Canary

 

Hello All!

 

It's been quite a week at my house. Everyone getting sick, one at a time. It hit me today - sore throat, headache, the works. Yuck! But I managed to finish a card :).

I received an order for a birthday card with a Cheerleader on it in the girl's school colors - Orange and black. I must admit I have never done an orange card as it is my least favorite color. I am actually happy with how it turned out.

 

I pulled out a stamp that I have had for a couple years. She's from Saturated Canary. And of course, she's a cheerleader!

 

Here she is:

 

 

Isn't she cute?

 

 

 

She's colored with Copics. The flowers are from Wild Orchid and everything was cut on my Cameo.

 

I even decorated the box because I know my girls like to keep the boxes to store things in, so I figured, why not make it a little special?

 

 

 

So there it is, my first orange card lol.

 

That's all for now. Stay well!

And Another!

 

Good Afternoon!

 

 

I did warn you I had a lot of Some Odd Girl stamps to use lol.

 

Here is a card I finished yesterday. I used Curly Kaylee. She's so cute.

I colored her with my Copics and most of the embellishments are from my Cameo. I also used Frantage - I love that stuff!

I had to force myself to do a card in something other than purple. It wasn't easy for me :).

 

That's all for today. Have a great weekend and Happy Crafting!

Another SOG Fairy!

                        

Hello Everyone.

It's been busy, busy around here lately. Lots of appointments with my son. He is going in for his first surgery in a couple weeks - Tonsillectomy. I think I am more nervous that he is! 

 

Today I have another Some Odd Girl card. I kind of fell in love with these digis pretty quick, so I think it's safe to say that's what you will be seeing for a little awhile :).

Here it is

 

I just love the their big eyes! 

Everything was cut with my Cameo and she is colored in Copics - more purple, of course! I put some stickles on her wings. I just have to put some sparkle in there somewhere, don't you?

 

That's it for today. Until next time -

Happy card making :)

A Gift For a Friend

Good Morning Crafty Ladies!

 

I just wanted to share a card I made for a new, dear friend who lives all the way over in England!

 

I used Summer Wedding Tilda from Magnolia, colored with Copics. I also used my favorite Spellbinder die called Floral Ovals. I added flowers from WOC. I handmade the rosebuds in the bag, which I sent as a gift for my friend. But I didn't put any on my card, because I wanted to make sure she had 3 of each color!

Well that's all for now. I will be back soon with another card :)
