HELLLOOO 2013

Did it just get here??? (yeah right!)   yes,  I've been missing (well   just to lazy to post...LOL) it has been very cold here and I just want to sit in front of the wood burning stove and stay warm!....
Anyway....I did make some cards, but this time I'm going to spilt them into 2 posts, that way it won't look like I don't like to blog...LOL  (laaazzzy)

So here we go....

this Birthday card I used the EK success bubble punch and made strips for background,  the scallop circle cut from mini mono and the stamps are inkadinkadoo 
(and I remembered to take a pic of the inside!) 

For the confetti, I used the dots from the punched strips and the sentiment is from the same stamp set... looking at the pic I see a yellow shadow (???) but its not on the card and that's what counts.......and tombo markers to color the cupcakes...

This one I used the same stamp set, swiss dot folder, same markers (so detailed!)
and no pic of inside,sentiment is...
Have a wonderful Day!


I had fun making the next one....

For this one I used the carousel cart and you can see still liking the bubble punch and the different bright color strips...this is A2 card and I also made a 5x7 size too...





So there you go.........I'm blogging again and maybe tomorrow too (we'll see.......LOL)
Anyway.........until next time!

Here Are A Few More Cards

That  I made while I was on a card fest...I'll show the card I made for my grandson's 4th Birthday.....he's into Thomas the Train right now....so I made him a train card....

you may click on the pictures to enlarge



and this is the inside

 I used stickers I had in my stash...cause he is also into stickers and luvs to stick them to his body....now why do kids like to do that??? sadly to say he tried it with Stamps....went right ahead and lick and stick right to his forehead (and did they stick!!)

I used the everyday paper dolls cart for the train and the lion's cage (is that whats it called?) the lion is a sticker too.

 The next one I put together because  I had cut them out awhile back (and didn"t do anything with them)...so I made the little plane a slider on ribbon and just stamped Happy Birthday

The cute plane is from the cart...new arrival

and of course the paper from the good old
stash...I have sooo much 12x12 pattern paper that I need to use up (cause you know there is always new paper line coming out)


I also made a couple of baby cards .......

 I used green for the base card, just to change from the traditional "baby colors"
Since everyone knows what they are having before the baby is born (thanks to ultrasounds) and the baby clothes are now styled in today's fashion (the kid is hip before he or she can see)

I had to do one in blue (can't get away from tradition) and it still looks cute and stylish (and of course forgot to take pics of the inside) the sentiment is a SU stamp and a cuttlebug folder (oops...forgot to write down the name)


There nicely done....still have more cards to show...like I said before can't show them all at once (this does make me come back here and pretend I'm blogging)

Anyway......until next time..

Well It Only Took Me Forever....

To post again  (see...just like I said...)..I've been making cards (yeah...uh huh)
I"ll  just show them to you...

I used paper lace II folder on the base and I  

click on any of the pictures to enlarge

 used (of course still in luv with making my own flowers...and coloring them myself).. 

 Purely Pomegranate ink from SU to ink the flower and centered it with a pearl   MS punch for the border around the "happy birthday"  

And of course I had to try it in purple with a yellow flower only this time I used a light purple gem for the center......

This one is for my daughter in law...and since September's birthstone is Sapphire,  I used Mediterranean Blue from Brilliance (cause honey, this is the closes I'm getting to the real thing ...this color is close..right?)....

See...... I was making cards.....I did make quite a few other types of cards.....but if I show them all ... I wouldn't have anything else to post

Anyway.....Until next time...

Well I have returned.....

maybe not as soon as I thought I should have (but at least  in the same month)... so I'll show a few cards I made.....  for kids cards, I like to use Everyday Paper Dolls cart.....

and of course....I remembered to take a photo of the inside of the card...

The paw print is a single small stamp that someone gave me (and you were going to give it away!) the base card is a pre-made 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 and so I made the puppy at 5 1/2 to fill most of the base, using pattern paper for the puppy, I  creased the knees and inked the puppy,added ribbon for a collar then placed down with pop ups.. her eyes is what makes her so cute........
May was my youngest grandson's B-day
....here is his  card..

I didn't want to use the puppy because I used it for his 1st b-day and didn't want to do a repeat....I'm not sure if I posted a pic of that one already..so excuse me for the repeat......

This puppy is so cute in any size or type of paper...... for some reason I can't find the inside of the card...but I cut a fire hydrate in red and inked it (did you take a pic of the inside???)
So.....there you go..did alittle posting, showed some pics...And I call this complete!.....
Anyway  .....  Until next time.........

    

Oh My! .....there has been a Change....
I been gone so long that blogger has changed its style??  is that the word I want to use???..no that's not the right word.....because it only took me forever to figure out and post and the preview does not show the whole blog like it use to (it help to read"new changes ") 
 Anyway I have decided I don't like blogging (really???...what gave it away) I enjoy making cards and thought this would be a great place to display them which it is.......
So I think I will just post pic of my cards....what do you think??? (and how long will that last??)
Now I have a new problem...hummmmmmm
I'm not on my laptop to access my pics (didn't last long...did it)

 I'll be back......really I will (don't hold your breath people)
Anyway.......until then....

My younger sister's invite and B-Day card.....

 I thought I would share the invite and B-day card I (excuse me)...my daughter and I made for my Younger sister...first of all my niece wanted to celebrate her mom's 50th with her(my sister's) siblings (there are 5 brothers and 5 living sisters which all are married now,
and includes inlaws and children and grandkids..yikes!!!) my niece had big ideas..and they were great ones...but you know how it is with a huge family.....time and location and mainly space is hard to do...since we all live so spread out..... she picked a restaurant and we showed up......fun fun fun!!!!    here's the invite...

and here is her B-day card that I made (and I can claim this one)

and a  pic of the gang

this is only the middle of the group (the waiter cut off the ends :( the end that I'm in..LOL)  

this is the birthday girl.....my baby sis...... hard to believe how time is flying by.....

ok! ok!...I'll show you what a soon-to-be 62 year old looks like........ME
here I am with my son-in law....who I luv and is precious to me.....here we are...

so I don't look to bad........right????    LOL

Oh yeah!  did I mention that this all happen in Nov (late posting...but whats new )

so......... I guess this is called back tracking and I might as well show my Oct birthday card I made for my beautiful granddaughter...she turned 19

I think this is more then plenty to post (you think??)

anyway....until next time.......

WOW!!!......is it really 2012??????

Well so much for my  so called "weekly posting" (really?)  you know these blogs, do take time and care (blah-blah-blah)  anyhoo.... going for the resolution thing (hahaha) and since I go to bed late, I thought I would actually start posting at night (we'll see) .....and show the Christmas cards I made.......(so lets see)

I did have a hard time photographing this card..the navitiviy image was cut from copper metallic paper which caused the glare and its hard to see the swiss dots on the base card...

the gift boxes were just scraps cut into different sizes using paper raffia



the two lower cards were made using the same folder one embossed  



and this one de-bossed

and I made a few gift card/money holders

these were a big hit......or was it the gift card or the money in it?????????

sooooo how was this for a post???  or this is enough for now

anyway......until next time
