My favorite card today!


I finally used the cherries fom Hello Kitty greetings... I just love the cut, and really wanted to use it on a full size card, and I did!!! Made 3 of these also!

Happy Birthday


Can never have enough birthday cards!! Made 3 of these also! Been on a 3 kick!

Halloween in August




Still working on craft fair stuff and all of them seem to be right around Halloween, so I thought I better put together a few Halloween cards to take as well. So these are what I came up with, made three of each of these as well. I really like the pumpkin, have to figure out some more ways to use it, and as you can tell I am getting FULL use out of my paper today!! I just love the background striped paper! Good thing I have a couple more sheets!

Christmas in August




I am trying to work on Christmas cards for my upcoming craft fairs, as most people seem to be looking for Christmas items at the fairs. So I made each of these and then made three of each. I really like the Christmas tree one, but I am peeved with myself for not embossing the tree, so there will be more of these with more pop in the future!! And I love the snowman, and will definately use him again with different color combos.

Yellow and Black




So I am drawn to black with white and any other bright color really, so in turn I use a lot of black and white in my card making and then usually throw in a bright color.... and lately it's been a lot of yellow!! Maybe the Tour de France has inspired me... with Lance and his Livestrong colors! I don't know but I really like the combo. I think it just POPS....

Hello Kitty Greetings!




So I bought this cartridge at Christmas time, or rather I exchanged a cartridge to get this one. So I have had it for awhile, and spent very little time with it! I have decided today that it is DEFINATELY one of my most favorite cartridges. So the first card I made, was a set of two very simple birthday cards. I wanted them to be very simple and sleek, so I cut the cupcake in all white and black with just a red cherry. I embossed, and then added a ribbon and matching jewels. I really like them both, for a simple card
