Happy Birthday My Love!

I made this card for My Hubs for his birthday at the beginning of May.  He Loves to fish and I love flowers so Voila! I Had a blast making this card.  It feels so good to come in my craft cave and play.  Feel free to comment.  Would love to hear from you.

Spinner Card!

Spinner card it is.

With the new Die-Namic from MFT called Pinwheel and stamp set I decided to make a spinner card. I think it came out very cool. I decided on purpose not to use double sided paper to add some contrast to the such dark colors. The white pulls everything together. The technique is easy peasy.

All you need is two pennies and pop dots with a window punch and spin away!
First you make your spinner. second, adhere with a glue dot to the center of the back of the spinner a penny. Put two pop dots on the back ( The SU! pop dot work the best their circular). Then punch on your paper with the window punch and lay that mechanism on it and flip it over and put the penny on top of it and watcher slide back and forth. With that panel you have to pop that so that the whole flat mechanism has room to move. PS. The sample with the window is my boo boo card please don't mind the smudging of the sentiment. I threw this one out. Thanks :)

Thanks Gram!

I just made this little cutey for my Grandmother. She has been a god send to let me use her car until I get a new one mine died last week in a crash..... Believe it or not she is 92 years old and hasn't driven in a year or so but still has the car and maintains it and puts gas, cleans it starts it up once a week to see if it runs and believe it still pays the insurance on it. My Mom almost had her convinced that she wants her to give it up and boom I have my accident and now I am using it. I just love her. Thanks gram.

Wishing you Loads of happiness

My nephew is moving to San Diego in a few weeks and his father is throwing a little going away picnic for him. I made him this card and gave him a gift bag filled with candy, chocolate, chips, slim jims, capri sun drinks and some other junk for eats on the way out there....They are driving. That should keep them busy for a while. I hope that he has a safe fun trip. Best of luck my friend.

Happy Anniversary!

I was blog hopping and I came across this layout...well not exactly. I found a similair butterfly called the Artists Butterfly and it was on the Hero Arts blog. I just love this card. I had to copy it I used the butterfly that I had which is butterflies 3 images. I tried to do the feathering technique here but with my camera it doesn't show the feather. Just where they end. It really is blended quite nicely. It kind of look choppy here. I am going to give this card to my In-Laws. They have been married 59 years tomorrow. Congrats you two! Many more! I will work on the blending and the camera thing.

I just tried my hand at my first easel card. I think that it came out awesome. I think I am going to give it to my co-workers daughter for her baby shower. This is how you do it too.

Here's How to:
Thanks for giving it a try.
I started out with one 81/2 x 11" sheet of CS. You'll need out of that two pieces.. an 8x4" and a 4x4" piece. then I,
Scored the 8x4" peice on the 2" and 4" mark ( I used my scor-pal/ mindless). and fold on those score lines.
Add some adhesive on the first 2x2" section at the bottom. That is where your front is going to adhere. Match the edges with the 4x4" piece which is your front of your card. Decorate and Voila!
I popped the sentiment inside so the folded from would act as a kick stand for the front.
When it is all done it is a 4x4" card to fit into any standard envelope
