Card #4 for the Holidays

Next up is a holiday card I made for my mother-in-law. I used a wonderful digi stamp from Michelle Perkett. Please visit her Etsy store. She is SO creative!

Enjoy!

Hi again,

I made card #3 for a friend. This wonderful digi image from Heather Ellis just reminded me of her. Please check out the wonderful selection of Heather's digi images at her Etsy store. You won't be disappointed!

Another Holiday Card

Ink: Memento cocoa, Ranger Distress in Fired Brick
Misc: Prismacolor colored pencils and brads

A Night of Many Cards

Hi Everyone!

It's been a little while since I've posted but that doesn't mean I haven't been busy making cards! I've got 7 (yup, 7!) tonight so let's get started.

The first one is by far my favorite. I love the carolers stamp and I just found it at AC Moore this past week. I think the company, Rubber Soul, is going to be one of my new faves. Check 'em out!

This is my first attempt at paper piecing and I'm very happy how it turned out. What a great way to make use of those paper scraps!

I made this one for me. Yup, I decided I deserve a Christmas card. :) Enjoy!




Stamp: Carolers by Rubber Soul
Paper: Georgia Pacific card stock, red from stash, Basic Grey and Memory Box
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black
Misc: Copics, Sentiment printed on a Mac

2 New Cards!

Good Evening (or morning or afternoon depending on where you are) everyone!

I have 2 new cards tonight. I made both of these for a friend of my mother-in-law's. She said she loves going to the ocean and asked if I could make 2 holiday cards that had that "ocean feel". Here's what I came up with.

Enjoy!

Stamps: lighthouse scene (including wreaths) was a free clipart image from the internet. I typed the sentiment in Photoshop.
Paper: Georgia Pacific card stock, Basic Grey

Sympathy For a Friend

Hi Everyone!

It's been awhile since I've posted a card on here so let's get to it.

This one is for a friend who recently lost her father. I wish there wasn't a sad reason to make it but I guess not every card can be cheery. I'll get one of those up soon though.

Stamps: children in the rain is a freebie from the internet. Sentiment: Hero Arts Small Greetings set
Paper: Basic Grey from the Capella and Kraft collections
Card stock: Hero Arts kraft
Ink: Memento, Copics & Ranger
Embellishments: from stash

Enjoy!

A Craft Fair and Other Good Things

So I participated in a craft fair at work this past Friday and it went well. 10% of our profits went to a local charity so I felt I really needed to get on board with it. Besides, I had a couple of months to get ready and had already started making lots of holiday tags and cards.

Because of the craft fair, I don't have anything new to post picture-wise of cards and/or tags (since most of what I made was already posted in previous posts) but I am going to start working on some new non-holiday related stuff very soon. I miss doing the regular sketch challenges and can't wait to get back into it!

I hope you are all doing well and I promise I will have something new posted very soon!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I'm Still Here!

It's been a couple weeks since I've posted but I AM still here! 2 wisdom (I say "wisdom" VERY loosely!) teeth extracted put me out of commission for a couple weeks along with getting a new doggie. I have been working on making cards and tags for holiday orders and a craft fair we are having at work. I spent 11 hours on it yesterday and boy was I tired! They aren't anything I haven't posted on here but I hope to make a few different ones tonight. I'll get them posted as soon as I can.

I hope you are all doing well!

-Megan :)
