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!!!!

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!

Crazy scarf

This is a scarf I made. It's called a crazy scarf. I got the idea from my friend Sarah who was making one. It was a lot of fun to make and it's great for using up scraps of yarn you have lying around!!!

Homemade bows!

I made these bows out of a magazine. Got the idea from the Stamp Shack who got it from here:

I need a little more practice to make them look more professional but they are really fun to make and pretty easy!

Look Who's One

I've finally finished the scrapbook I have been making for my niece's first birthday. Most pages are a double layout so I took the pictures together. I'm not much of a scrapbooker but I think it turned out pretty good.

Chick, chick, chick

Cupcake Riley

Isn't he cute!!!

Spotlight

I love the spotlight technique and it's one you don't always see a lot of. This was done for a swap I'm hosting. I used that Smooch stuff to put the dots on the petals and on the inside of the flower. Pretty neat stuff to use and dries really fast.

Monday- Lindsay Stamp Stuff Time!

Here is my creation for Lindsay's Stamp Stuff. I love this Doodle Flower set. I colored the image using my Bic Markers...which I also love!!! I decided instead of mounting the image I would just do my on doodling around the border. Hope this brings a smile to your face and helps ya get ready for spring!!!
