Chill cards

I started making one card for Market Street Stamp's and Emma's challenges, but then I got another idea for a "call me" card for my friend. I am also entering them in My pink stamper's challenge using your favorite things. My new favorite thing is the liquid pearls I used for the sandals, also I love the imaginisce paper I used. For Market Street Stamp's challenge I used the colors cherry blossom, retro blue and snow white and their chillaxin stamps. For Emma's throwback challenge, I used fabulous finds (the paper clip) and life's a beach. I also used Amy Smyth Made it stamps for the sentiments inside the second card.

father's day card and tag

I wasn't sure if I'd ever use tie the knot cartridge except for anniversary or wedding cards, but I used it for the shoes(tying the shoes with twine was challenging) on the card and I liked how it turned out. I used billionaire for the shirt and tie and the paper for the card base was from Tim Holtz. I experimented with embossing the sentiment on the first draft of my tag... it didn't work out ....so I had to redo it. I liked the first tag better... but I made do with this one. I got the whole idea from the close to my heart stamp set.

Challenge card

I really liked this stamp set and couldn't wait to have a reason to use it. So I decided to try my hand at a challenge they (market street stamps) are having.

Birthday Card for my lil Prince

My son's birthday is this month and I made this card to submit to sprout online. I hope they pick his card to read on TV. These are most of his favorite characters. His most favorite is Calliou.

Now all we can do is wait because I won't know if his card got picked until the show airs.

My cousin is a graduate

I guess I can't call him my little cousin anymore, he is now officially an adult! He just graduated high school yesterday and here is the card and bag I made for him. The school colors were gold and blue.

BTW, I really like that JT imagine cartridge, it has alot of stuff for teenagers andesp men.

Ps I am also entering this in the challenge over at Scrapalicious USA. Challenge #3, Graduation

Birthday card and challenge

I made this card for my little cousin whose birthday is next month. I made it this early because of a challenge at my creative time where you have to use doodlecharms and the color blue.

Mother's day 2001

Here is my mother's day gift to my Mama. It took all day! Partly because I couldn't figure out what to do with the card, probably because I started with the patterned paper instead of an idea. I just LOVED that paper and HAD to use it. So I got the paper cut out and then got stuck. But it also took all day because I kept having to update my gypsy and my imagine (which I did already last month), and then I had a project all mapped out but couldn't use them because my imagine wouldn't recognize my paper lace or cricut essentials cartridge(even after I updated the gypsy twice and my imagine).Ugh! I'll be glad when they finally work out all the kinks! I still like my machine though!

Anyway, although it's a "simple card", it took me all day. But I like how my wrapping paper turned out the best. I would love to hear what you think.
