It seems like forever since I last posted to my blog. Here are a few of the Xmas cards I made this year. The first and last ones were variations of cards we did at an SU stamp-a-stack put on by Jen Sannes (http://www.simpleandsincere.com/). The insides of the cards were my own design. The peace doves were cards I designed. The first peace dove card was done with the new MS dove punch. The other card was a Hero Arts peace dove stamp. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Life has been a bit crazy for our family lately, so even though I have not had the time or motivation to work on cards, I have been following most of your blogs and making comments as time permits.

Mojo Halloween

It's been a while since I've done a Mojo Monday sketch so it's about time I take a stab at one again. Here's my take on this weeks sketch with a Halloween theme.
The cool spiderweb paper is by Paper Studio. The scary bat and dracula are from an old SU set, colored with copics. The cute little "Boo" is from a Gina K Halloween set and is backed with a nestability. The spiders were created with an EK success punch. The goo border is from Martha Stewart. I also used a couple of CB embossing folders on the green backing and the pomegranate paper. The ribbon is something from my stash. Thanks for taking a peek.

Anniversary Card

Just a quick post today of the anniversary card I did for my daughter and her husband. I used one of my clear acrylic stamp sets and cut out and popped the monkeys and the vine. For the background, I used the branches embossing folder by CB and then brayered over the embossed paper with brown ink. The sentiment is from SU and stamped on a Spellbinders die cut label. I used some scrap yarn to accent the label. I've included a picture of the inside of the card as well. I created the sentiment on my computer and then cut it out with a Spellbinders Nestability, backed with brown paper that I hand cut.

On to Halloween cards.

Birthday card for friend

Hi all! I'm finally back from a wonderful vacation in Alaska. It was absolutely gorgeous...a trip everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. Can't believe I ate seafood everyday and I'm still not tired of it.

I'm here with the first of what will be several posts for upcoming birthdays, get well wishes and anniversaries.

Today I'm posting a birthday card for a dear friend of mine. My DP is from Stampin Up, featuring barely bannana, pumpkin pie and bashful blue. My stamp images are from various clear stamps sets I own. I believe the sentiment is Stampin Up. Nothing too fancy here, just lots of layering and a little glaze pen on my cake icing and ice cream cone. I added some EK corner punches to accent my sentiment. I'm also including a peek at the inside of the card too.

Now I have to spend some time checking out what all of you have been doing on your blogs while I was gone.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

Get Well Card for Friend

Just a quick post of a get well card for a friend who had knee replacement surgery last week. Hope she gets a kick out of it.

The image is "House Mouse Designs" by Stampabilities. I colored it with my copic markers. Then I layered different parts of the image for dimension. I used some nestabilities for mounting and the cute DP is by Paper Studio. I created the sentiment on my computer.
