Security Envelop e ATC

I know it's been a long while since I shared anything here and it's been a long while since I actually made anything! I made these atc's out of the inside of security envelopes. The pattern paper you see is actually the inside of an envie!

Birdcage

This was done for a birdcage swap that I'm hosting. I tried to tap into my collage side but it's not very strong but at least I tried!

No greater companion, no better friend.

This is for a fellow stamping friend who recently had to put her beloved dog down. I got the layout idea from Jennifer

For You

Just using some of my Tim Holtz papers!!!

Congratulations!

It's been a while since I posted anything, but here ya go! I was without a computer for a couple of months and wasn't doing much crafting. I'm getting back into the grove now and hope to have more regular posts!!!

My tub runneth over

These were done for a tub themed swap. I've had these stamps for a while and hadn't used them yet so this was a perfect swap for me to get to try them out!

Scorepal

Well I've had my scorepal for over a year already and this is the first time I've used it!!!!! I did the white background with the scorepal.

Pretty in Pink!

My friend Nancy sent me a Christmas card where she used these squares. I studied and measured her card and made one of my own!!!! It's so, so simple but has a great outcome! Thanks Nancy!!!!!

Bucket List

I made these ATC's for a Bucket List Themed swap. I found the cute brads at Big Lots.

Purple Penguin

Distress Ink Background

I've done this background before and it's just so great! Here is a tutorial I made a while back on how to do it: http://imuststamp.blogspot.com/2009/06/distress-ink-tutorial.html

My first Christmas card of the season!

The stamp set is from Clear Dollar Stamps and on the inside it says Season's Tweetings!!

Button Ornament

This is for a handmade ornament swap I'm in over at the stamp shack. I used about 72 green and red buttons and strung them on wire then tied ribbon to it. Pretty easy but very cute I think!

Praying for you

I made this card for a friend who just lost her mom. I used two different set's of stamps. The inside says: May God's love strengthen your faith, bring you hope and give you comfort.

Mistletoe

This is for a mistletoe themed swap. The diecut I used here is from Clear Dollar Stamps. I just love how the fit together so well!!!!
Isn'

Elf

I used white liquid applique for the trim around his hat and mittens. I used embroidery floss for the stitching. Stickles was used on the tips of his shoes and hat.

It's a jungle out there!

Butterly Silhouette

These were done for a silhouette swap. I know most silhouettes are done in black but I thought white would look better. I used distress ink with a blending tool to create the background color. The butterflies are done with clear embossing powder on white cardstock.

You don't look old.....

Isn't this set too cute!! It's another one from Clear Dollar Stamps!

Gone Fishin

This set is made by Clear Dollar Stamps. I used my bic markers to color the image.

Happy Birthday Picks

I made these birthday picks to go on cupcakes. I think they turned out pretty cute!!!

Kitchen Trash Can

Well I got the idea from Chris who did a small trash can. I decided I wanted to do my kitchen one and worked on it today. It took me about two hours but it was worth it!! Even Jiggs is admiring it!!

Where?

I am hosting a swap with a theme of Where? as in where you are in the world. I'm in Texas so I decided to use my Texas themed set!!!

I'd give up chocolate but,

Who wants to give up chocolate!!!! Not me!

Woodland Creatures

This was done for a swap I"m in over at the Stamp Shack. This is one of my most favorite stamps. My friend Sherri sent it to me a long time ago and it's been much loved!
