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.

I got mine from Jami at www.crazydaisycreations.blogspot.com.

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.

Happy Veterans Day

Unfortunately I had to work today! Life isn't fair! One good thing is that the traffic was great since everyone was at home!

Anyway, I purchased this stamp at Ms and really fell in love with it. I stamped the image with Versafine black onyx and colored using my Prismacolor markers. I made this card for a girl at work for her birthday and she loved it.

Thanks for looking.

Dirty Challenge

I am entering this card into Kraftin Kimmie's Dirty Challenge. I used Tim Holtz Distress ink to dirty parts of the card. The Stamp is Northwoods.

Happy Friday

I made this card for a special friend at work. I stamped this shopping Bella on the patterned paper that I first used Autumn Leave swirls in brown ink and then used my Prismacolor markers to create my own patterned paper to match the ribbon. I then paper pieced the clothing to her. I used the Nestablities oval to frame her out. The sentiment stamps were from the Ms $ section.

I love the way this card turned out and my friend loved it.
