AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE BREAKFAST YET!

LOL! Can you believe it? I made a card (completed) before breakfast. I know, I know, it is a simple card. But that was the point. I was bloghopping this morning as I was going through my email and I came across this challenge on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog, who have a challenge to make a CAS card. So I decided to make it right away.


The card is quite simple. The detail I like about it is the oval in the middle of the cuttlebugged paper. I cannot take credit for this. It is something I learned from my friend Kerry. Kerry learned this from her friend Patty. But here is the way it is done. You need an oval negative to achieve this. I used a paper frame I found at the dollar store. I separated the front from the back of the frame. For my cuttlebug sandwich I used the A plate, added the cuttlebug folder with paper and then the oval negative over it placed on the spot where you don't want the cuttlebug folder to show, and last the C plate.
This is how it worked for me as the oval negative is quite thick. You can probably find different ways to do this. Kerry used 2 layers of cardstock out of which she had cut the oval. Patty used a wooden frame.

Thank you for dropping by!

FINALLY!!!!!

And I mean FINALLY I am able to log into my blog!! I was not able to sign into my blog for quite awhile. For some strange reason I was not able to normally sign in, so I have finally found an unusual way of signing in and I can post again!! YEAY!!!
And yes, I have created something!


This card is almost a total CASE of Cheryl Rowley's card here. I was browsing through SCS to find inspiration because I was not coming up with something on my own. (I know that is quite sad) I have been admiring Cheryl's creations for quite awhile already, so when I saw this card I knew what to make.

Details:
I used my favorite SU DP Parizian Breeze. So sorry it's not in the new catty!! It is layered on Baja Breeze and Choc. Chip.
I colored Tilda with Copics. Used the Nestabilities, Labels 4 and sponged it with Close to Cocoa. The ribbon was a remnant I took off of a notepad I had lying around.

Thanks for coming by.

CHECK OUT SUZANNE DEAN'S GREAT CANDY!

I honestly don't think that I need to announce this candy. I believe that you all know Suzanne already. But, this is kind of a requirement, so go check it out. Let's see who the fortunate winner will be.

BTW, I do have a couple of cards. Need to take pictures!! But I've been trying to get my girls room done. I am desperate already!!! Just need the carpet!!!! It will be so great to have them in their room again. I guess I did not tell you that we were doing some construction. The girls room downstairs was unfinished, so it had to by drywalled and painted. So, that has taken away my time for even thinking about stamping. NEED TO GET IT DONE!!! Desperate? YEAH!!!

Have a good one!!

My Aunt and Uncle celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Saturday. I enjoy watching them together. They totally know each other and accept each other. They are definitely a part of each other! Totally my idea of a great marriage!

So I made this simple card for them:

SURPRISE!!!!!!

I am even surprised!!! You have probably forgotten about my blog by now, kind of like I have. Not really, but it definitely was put on the back burner. Summer has been quite busy here and I have not had much time to even think about creating. But I do have 2 cards for you. One that I made and one that my dd Melanie made, which I am very proud of. So first is Melanie's card:
She made this card for her Dad. She drew the car herself. Edwin was an image that I have received from one of you blogging friends. Sorry I do not remember who sent me this specific image. Thank you!! I think she made an amazing card!!

And here is mine:


My first use of flowersoft. I really like the dimention it gives the image. I had fun making this card.

Thank you for coming by.
