Baby Birthday

This card was made for a friend to give his grandson.  I used a digital image from Mo's Digital Pencil and had a lot of fun coloring him.  I found the "cutesy" sea critter paper and thought it would go perfectly with this fella in his wading pool. 

 

Graduation Card

My oldest niece recently graduated from high school...where does the time go????  I had seen this image by A Day for Daisies a long time ago and had it in my mind that it would be a perfect one to use for her graduation card.  I just love the swirls of the dress and her hair.  The first thing my niece pointed out was that I gave her purple eye shadow...lol  such a girlie girl!

A Magical Birthday

My youngest niece just turned 16 and this is the card I made for her.  She is a super-duper Harry Potter Fan, so I decided to use these images from Bugaboo Stamps to create this accordion style card.  Needless to say...she loved it!  She was so proud that I got the colors right on the scarves!  This one took a LONG time to color, cut and create, but it was definitely worth it! 

Moher's Day Cards

These are the three Mother's Day Cards I made for my mom, my grandmother, and my sister-in-law.  The first one, which features an image from A Day for Daisies, was for my grandmother.  I thought the momma duck with her baby was so cute and decided to use that one for her card.

 

The next card, made for my sister-in-law features an adorable image from A Day for Daisies.  I guess maybe it might be more appropriate for a birthday card, but I just thought it reminded me of one of her daughters when they were younger...so I went with it!

 

The last one, also featuring images from A Day for Daisies was made for my mom.  I acutally combined the boy and girl in their jammies into one image so that it would show my brother with me!  She loved it!

 

Valentine's Day Cards

One of my co-worker's asked for some cards to give to their grandchildren.  These are the cards I made for them.  I used several digital stamps from Dustin Pike for the cards.  I thought they would be perfect for the cards.

 

 

Birthday Girl with Horse

 

I made this card for a friend's daughter for her birthday.  She loves horses and I was excited to use this digital stamp from Mo Manning.  Such a cute image.

Birthday Girls

These cards were made for a co-worker to give to family.  I used two digital images from Mo Manning.  I see myself in the first image...I used to do love blowing on the dandelions and watching them fly away.  I still do when I get the chance!

 

Birthday Wishes

This is a card I made for a dear friend for her birthday.  This is a digital stamp called Japanese Lanterns I got from Prairie Fairy a long time ago but had never used it.  I absolutely love how this card turned out!  I think I may have to do this same card with other color combinations in the future!  I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to emboss the patterned paper to add some additional texture.

Hambo Hoedown Challenge Card

It has been a LONG time since I have been able to participate in a Hambo Hoedown Challenge.  Since I am recuperating from recent surgery, I decided to throw my hat in the ring!

This week, the challenge is to use bubbles in your card.  Some of the design team used the new digi set called Test Tubes by Hambo Stamps, while others just used bubbles with other Hambo stamps.  I thought the Test Tube set was pretty dang funny, so I chose to use it as well.

I had a lot of fun with this...I used a variety of bubbles (embossing and bubble DP).  I even used the Spica pens to add some glitter (AKA...tiny bubbles) to the liquids in the tubes and beakers.  Although you can't really see it in the photo, the larger beaker with the green liquid has a pop-up of the green liquid on top of the main image.  I rounded it out so that it looks like it is curved.

I am glad I was able to play along this week!  Check out the other samples and entries over at the Hambo Hoedown Blog!

Aunt Mary's Birthday Card

 

This card was made for my Aunt Mary.  She is a huge bird lover and I couldn't resist this adorable image from Mo Manning.  I just love the cute bird....It is one well-fed bluebird...lol

Birthday Card for Kaitlyn

 

I made this for my nieces 18th birthday.  Still can't believe she is 18!!!  I used a set from Paper Smooches called Nine Lives. I set this one up so that it looked like the kittie was in a window of a store.  It is hard to see from the photo, but the awning over the window is popped up to look like a real awning.  I can be clever sometimes!

Penguin Christmas Card

 

This is the card I made to hold my Christmas present for my two nieces.  I had been wanting to use this digital image by Mo Manning for some time and finally got around to coloring it up. I love the way it turned out!

Catching up with Posting!

Hello all!  I know I have been MIA for a LOOONNNGGG time...  My life has been crazy and I just haven't found the time to post my creations.  I have been making some cards, so the posts have just been piling up since early December!  I am going to post them over the coming days to catch up.  I am at home recuperating from surgery, so I will use this time to add posts.

First up is a Christmas card I made (YES...I am THAT behind!).  It features a digi stamp called bundeer from Prairie Fairy.  Sorry the photo is so dark.  It must have been taken late at night...  I love this little Bundeer image.  The buck teeth make me smile every time I see them!

Pet Sympathy

This was made for someone that recently lost their beloved dog.  I used a photo of their pet to try to color it as much like them as possible. I was told they really loved the card, so I am happy I could help them out during a difficult time.  The image is by Mo Manning.  The sentiment is an unmounted stamp (company unknown).

Birthday Boy

This card was made at the request of a co-worker for a grandson who will be celebrating a birthday soon.  The digital image is by Mo Manning.  I kept it simple so that the image was the focus!

A Changito Christmas

I had the urge to get out my Changito Winter set and this is what I came up with.  I just love this crazy monkey!  I think I may have to do a variation for some of my Christmas cards this year....

Birthday Girl

The daughter of one of my former co-workers had a birthday a few weeks ago and I made this card for her.  I wanted something really girly and sweet.  This image from Mo Manning was perfect!  I kept it super simple and let the image shine.

SCUBA Birthday

I made this card for a former co-worker that recently celebrated his birthday.  I just love this Changito fella from Stampendous.  The sentiment that goes with it (on the inside) reads "Super Creative Unexpected Birthday Acknowledgement."  S.C.U.B.A....get it? 

Breast Cancer Awareness

I know I am VERY behind in posting my creations, so you can expect a daily post for several days!  I have been making quite a few cards lately, but they just haven't found their way here.  The two cards I am sharing with you today are cards I made for a lady that used to live in my neighborhood.  She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.  She has had surgery and one more to come, but it sounds like it has not spread and that she will be back to herself again soon.  I sent one card and then made a second one for my mom to send her.  I hope they brighten up her day!

 

Both images are digital images from A Day For Daisies.

I don't know about you...but I have always loved doing Rebus puzzles.  This card is my take on a rebus.  It ended up being different than my brain envisioned, but I hope you will get it!  I am not going to share it out loud...I want to make you work for it! LOL  My card features the King Digi Stamp at Hambo.  The ampersand was done on the computer and the eye is compliments of some random Google search!

Now dance on over to Kris for another great Broadway show!
