Graduation Card #2

It's SUMMER!! YAY! My kids last day of school was Thursday! My middle son graduated 8th grade and my baby graduated Pre-School! My oldest will be a Junior now! I love having my kids home! The high school graduation isn't until June 5 so I still have time to make a few more cards. Hopefully things will settle down a little now and I can spend more time paper crafting. I really need to work on my scrapbooks! I am soooo far behind! Anyway, we are going to watch the girls Varsity Softball team play today in Lufkin. I wanted to show ya'll the graduation card I made. My boys really like this one a lot. I use orange on the cards because our school colors are black and orange.

I cut the "congrats" using my cricut.

I cut an extra one and cut off the graduation cap and used pop dots for dimension. I made the tassel with embroidery floss. I colored the letters with orange marker and covered it with STICKLES! I use stickles a lot.

I made another pocket for the inside of this card also. I usually give money for graduation, especially for the guys!
Thanks for stopping by and looking. Sorry it's been so long since I've done anything. I'm hoping we will have a very relaxing summer vacation and that I'll have time to do lot's of scrapbooking and card making! Ya'll have a wonderful day!!

Graduation Card 1

TGIF!! I'm ready for the weekend, how about ya'll? I had a little time this evening to finish a graduation card I started last night. I never seem to be able to make one whole card at once. I usually work on it as I have time. Anyway, I need to make about 5 cards this year for graduation. I am going to enter this in the 365 Cards Challenge for Friday. Take a look at my first. Thanks for taking the time to look!

I used stickles to make the 2009 sparkle! I love stickles!!


This is the inside of the card. I made a little pocket to put money in.
Thanks for looking! Ya'll have a wonderful weekend!
The cupcake craft challenge is having a challenge using numbers so I am going to enter this card in it also.

MOJO Challenge # 84

Hey! Hope everyone is having a good week! I can't believe it's Thursday already! It's getting late so I am going to make this quick. My 5 year old has been invited to a birthday party Saturday. I made a card using the MOJO Monday sketch. They always have wonderful sketches! The invitation was western so that's how I came up with the theme. Here it is.


I stamped happy birthday on the star and tied raffia on it.


This is a close up of the stamp. I think the cowboy is sooo cute! I used prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits to color him.

This is the inside of the card.
The cowboy stamp is by stampabilities and the HB stamp is from hero arts.
It's getting late so I need to go. Ya'll have a great day tomorrow!!

Baby card

Happy Sunday! I hope every one is having a wonderful day! I wish I had time to update every day but I have been so busy! I don't know how some of you do it! Anyway, I started a card last night and finished it this afternoon. I need a card to give to a friend who is going to have a baby girl next month! So exciting! I have been scrapbooking for 3 boys so it is really neat to be able to use pretty papers with PINK!! I still want to put the baby's name on the front of the card but my printer is out of ink. Gotta go get some tomorrow! Here it is.
Supplies: the papers are Cloud 9 Design, ribbon from my stash, Penny Black stamp, Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits, and a little bit of stickles on the flowers and butterfly.
Ya'll have a great day! Hopefully I can update more often this week!

Birthday Card

Hi! Hope everyone is having a good day!! It is raining like crazy here. We are under a flash flood warning in our area! Great day for paper crafting! Anyway, I started this card for a challenge about a week ago. The challenge was to use the colors bright blue, bright pink, and bright orange. I got the card made and that was about it. Now that I have my new Penny Black stamps and it's been raining I figured I would finish the card. This is how it turned out.


After I colored the stamp with prismacolors and gamsol, I used stickles to cover the balloons. I love stickles!!
On the inside of the card I made a pocket to put money in for those last minute birtday parties the boys go to.


SUPPLIES: blue, pink, orange, and white cardstock, Penny Black stamp, prismacolor pencils, versamark ink, stickles, and hero arts stamps.

New Stamp!!

Wow! I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since I've made anything and posted on my blog!! It's been crazy the last couple of weeks but hopefully things will settle down and I will have more time to play with my stamps. I got my new Penny Black stamps in the mail today and had to use them. I just love the little hedgehogs!!! I made a card using the MOJO Monday sketch and the colors for the Stamp Something Challenge which were yellow, blue, and green.


It's hard to tell from the picture but the ribbon is green and yellow.
I also made a scrapbook layout of my family when we went to see my sister and her family in Canada 2 years ago. Yes, I am WAY BEHIND on my scrapbooking!!

Well, Ya'll have a wonderful weekend! It's suppose to rain here tomorrow so I hope I can play with my stamps again tomorrow!!
