On Your Special Day

I created this card for the Justrite Friday Challenge #048. The challenge was to follow a sketch that was posted on the Justrite blog.
The paper is from the "Be Mine" collection by Echo Park Paper. The stamped greeting is from the Wedding Nested Sentiments by Justrite Stampers. The black ribbon behind the greeting is by Creative Impressions. To add the finishing touch, I mounted the tulle flower from Bazzill.

What you'll discover will be yourself!

My dear daughter is on her way to Milwaukee, WI to visit an art therapy grad school. So this card seemed to be the right one to post this evening.
I sprayed the background paper and the flower with Tattered Angels. The stamped images are from Tim Holtz.
Good luck Danielle! I hope you find what you're looking for and I hope they see what we see, a bright, beautiful & creatively talented young woman!

Get Well Soon

I created this card for a Take Six card class at Fond Memories. It is very easy to make a quick card with the cuttlebug cutting and embossing folders. The stamped image is by Penny Black. Color was added with Copic markers.

Happy Mother's Day


I created this card some time ago for my mother, for Mother's Day.
The stamp set I used was from Hero Arts, it is called "Big Flowers Pattern". The flowers and leaves were colored with copic markers.
The greeting stamp is from Amuse.
I apoligize, I don't remember where the paper is from. It may be Cosmo Cricket.

Have a Fabulous Birthday!


I created this card for the Justrite Friday Challenge 046, sponsored by Scor-Pal. We were asked to use scoring as a technique. I decided to visit the Scor-Pal website for some inspiration. If you have not checked out this website, you will want to. The Criss Cross Card pattern was used to make this card.

First, I scored & folded my card base according to the directions. The paper I used was Meadow Lark from My Mind's Eye. All of the stamps I used came from, "You Inspire Me" by Justrite Stampers. When I stamped the border for the card insert, I decided it was a little plain so I added some black gems to the center of each stamped image. The ribbon around the striped band added the finishing touch.

Thanks So Much

What a fun card to create! I just love working with flowers. This is a new flower set from Hero Arts.
I stamped the flowers with Rich Cocoa Memento and then colored them with Copic markers.Cutting the flowers out and layering them together really adds a lot of dimension. And of course, we NEED to add a little bling to the center of the flower. I used a Martha Stewart punch to create this lacey, scalloped border.
The greeting is from a set by StampingScrapping.

In 2011, I am going to try to spend more time working on my blog.(Just one of my New Years resolutions!)
Thanks so much for stopping by,

Thinking of You

I created this card for the Justrite 030 Challenge. I used the "Thinking Of You" Oval Centers & Borders by Justrite Stamps. The papers used for this card were Jazmyne Botanicals & Jazmyne Symmetry by Bo Bunny. I stamped the image using Memento Rich Cocoa and cut it out using Spellbinders ovals. I colored the flowers using Copic Markers,RV32 & RV34. The leaves were colored using YG95.
