Happy Sunday

We had an awesome dinner last night. I grilled steak, scallops, shrimp, crablegs, and asparagus. If that wasn't enough we had a baked potato on the side! Delicious. My husband loved how I grilled everything. He took a picture cause he said no one would believe it!



To the card:

This card for this week's Taylored Expression challenge.



The card is stamped on Neehah Classic cardstock with Memento Ink. The stamp is from Safire Designs. I colored the image with my Copic markers. I used stickles to give the cupcake a little sparkle.

I'm Back.............

Sharing a computer with a husband and 3 teenagers makes blogging hard. So now I have a Laptop! I don't have to kick anyone off so I can blog and download pictures. I have no excuse not to blog!

Anyway to the card! This card was made for Kraftin Kimmie's Challenge.
I actually downloaded the cupcake image from Microsoft Office templagtes clip art and colored it using my Prismacolor pencils. I just love using clipart like this cause there are no stamping mistakes! The paper is Georgia Pacific Cardstock. The ribbon I believe is Martha Stewart and the buttons are from Wal-Mart. The patterned paper is from Joann's. The large flower was cut using my Cricut Expression George cartridge.

Well I have had a busy day so til tommorow.

Artfully Illa Card Challenge

Here is a challenge for Artfully Illa. I just love her work.

This stamp is by Safire Designs. I used Prismacolor pencils with baby oil.

Ribbon Blossom

My husbands long time friend mother passed away and the funeral is Saturday. This is the sympathy card that I made.

The ribbon blossom was from this wonderful tutorial on this blog called Indigo Studiohttp://indigostudio-4hounds.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html.

I need to practice more.

Cake Box

I made this cake box by using a paper mache hat box and decorating with Christmas papers. I made a box using Christmas ribbon. Inside is the most incredible pound cake you would ever taste.

The card is made with a Whipper Snapper Snowman image colored with my Prisma markers.

This was mailed to a lady on the Cricut Message Board. We are swapping Christmas containers with our favorite recipes.

I hope she likes it.

Card and Matching Journal

I made this card for my sister-in-laws birthday.

I used stamps from the Angel Company. I paper pieced the image and used my Cuttlebug folders for the "Happy Birthday" embossing.

The journal was a ugly spotted composition book from Staples that I used matching paper on. The sentiments that are stamped are from Quotopia.

She absolutely loved it.
