This is a birthday card in using some of the new In Colors. You know how much I like purple and I love the new concord crush color. Also used the new pearls jewels too. This is a fun card to make.
Here is the birthday card that I created for the August birthday's. I love the brown and pink combination, so I just had to use the new early espresso color. I did cut the flowers out, but I think that it was worth it. This is one of my favorite stamp sets.
This was a fun card to create. To make the pansies, punch out 2 butterflies with the butterfly punch out of shimmer white card stock. Then you need put ink from the re-inkers on a paper plate. I used the elegant eggplant and so saffron re-inkers. Spray water on the butterflies, then dip the aqua painter into the ink and drop on the butterflies. Do the dark color on the outside to soak into the middle. After letting it dry a little, repeat with the so saffron color in the middle. You may to spray a little water in the middle before dropping the so saffron color. After they dry, put them together to make the pansies. You can draw on lines in the center and put a brad in the center of the pansies.
I wanted to share a picture of Amber and I at the Lifeway Women Seminar featuring Beth Moore in Irvine this weekend. She was the speaker for the weekend and boy did she give us a lot think think about. The topic was prayer. I am still trying to process everything she said.
This is the card that I created for the May birthdays. It looks much brighter in person. The one pink flower has glitter in the center. I also used the butterfly emblossit.
Here is a picture of the Dad's for the day with my sister Renee and I. We had a great relaxing day with the Dad's.
Here is a fun card that I created for Gary (my brother in-law) for Father's Day. He loves to golf, so I created a card just for him. I took a picture of the grass out in the front and made the golf green.
Here is a great card that I made for Father's Day. I used the Motorcycle stamp set and also the Log Cabin smooch spritz from the Summer Mini Catalog. I wanted to make my dad a card with this stamp set because when I was younger and their was only 2 children, my parents had motorcycles and took us for rides. So I that this was very appropriate for my dad.
This is a fun card that was created for graduation. Any graduate would love to receive a card created for them. We made this graduation card at the May Card Class.

I saw this cute birdhouse in my monthly magazine and I just thought this was a cute idea. So I needed to create an anniversary card for my friend Kathy and Larry (for their 29th anniversary). Kathy and I have been friends since 9th grade (that's too many years to count). The only stamping was the greeting on this card, everything else was punched out.
Sorry I have not posted anything in a little while. I have been trying to finish my sister Renee's wedding album and working on the scallop circle mini book for my class on Saturday. This is card the I created with one of my favorite stamp sets in the Occasions Mini Catalog, Vintage Vogue. It is using some of favorite colors too. 
Most of you know my cat Cody. He loves when the stamp orders arrive because there is brown packaging paper in the box. I pull it out and it is all bunched up and he loves to run on the paper to straighten it out, then he tries to hide under it. Little does he know that he is too big now and most of his body is hanging out of the paper. I just had to share Cody laying on the paper from the back order I had just received. He says "Thank you".
This is a great Easter card that we made at our Spring Celebration class last weekend. We had fun using the scallop trim border and scallop trim corner punches. I will list below the sizes to cut your card stock to use to make the corner and border punch evenly around the card stock.
This is another great card that we made at the Big Shot Class on Saturday. We used some fun new items from the Occasions Mini Catalog. A couple of my favorites are the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder and Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die. Also using the pink and brown colors.
This is a cute Valentine treat that we are going to making at my Big Shot Class on Saturday. It is a fun and easy little to give to someone special for Valentines Day. Great little gift for co-workers or your kids at school.
This card was created for my Big Shot Class on Saturday. I have a group of ladies that have all just purchased the Big Shot machine. So we are having a class to learn how to use all the different items on the Big Shot machine.This is a fun card with lots of textures on it.
This is a cute heat card. I did not put a greeting on it, so you can use for Valentines or any special occasion. It is made with the one of our new designer papers that has glitter on the paper (can't see in picture) and the new scallop trim border punch which you can FREE with a $50 net sales order from the Sale-a-Bration mini catalog.
Happy New Year!
