The newest, latest & greatest iPod Touch!
Sheesh, I feel like one of the 'cool kids'....both of my kidlets each have one of their own but I never did buy myself one....I have to admit that it is fun to have a techie man in your life :) He understands my whole obsession with blogging/blurfing, loves to share techie things but when it all comes down to it...he is a good man...super spectacular...he is one of those guys that always wants to help, always holds the door open for me, we crack each other up...I love him to pieces.
Thanks 'd'!!!!
Hello!!!
Hello, my name is Amy and I'm addicted to card sketches & challenges.
One thing I'm trying to do is design a card 'all by myself', well kind of....
In an effort to challenge myself, I'm trying to do one post a week without the help of a challenge or sketch. I know...can you believe it? LOL...I am however going to have the help from bloggie land. I absolutely soak up TONS of inspiration from blogs and will use that very inspiration to help me design cards.
Okay, so today's card has been inspired by the lovely work of Kelly Booth. I adore her sense of style {and her love of owls!}. Hopefully I have given her the justice that she oh-so-deserves...that woman is fantabulous!
This is a special card...special because it is going to a new 'deer' friend....
I won her generous Cuttlebug blog candy!!!
This is my first card that I made using MY NEW CUTTLEBUG! wooo hooo...that puppy is small and snappy. Can you tell that I used the Swiss Dot folder on the 2 layers of 'grass'? I ran my scallop circle through the ole CB too. All the patterned paper is ala Cosmo Cricket Earth Love Mini Deck {thanks Tami!}. I used my sweet Hero Arts deer, the porcupine is from My Cute Stamps and the sentiment is ala A Muse.
Paulina, I hope the card makes you **smile**
Thanks soooo much for stoppin' by, I do appreciate your fabbie comments :)
What do you notice about this card? hmmmm....yes, I have the polka dots panels going the wrong way...grrrr...didn't notice that until I uploaded the pic!
This is Christmas card #2...woo hoo....I'm on a roll ladies :)
(Hey Sherry & Tami...check it out...Graphic 45!!).
I stitched the 2 panels together....1/4 of the way down my stitching went wonky...grrrrrr....so being the way that I am...I took the time to remove the stitching and lined it up and went for it again. I couldn't bear to 'toss out' the panels...especially since I only bought 1 sheet of each pattern. So although this card looks like it should be a slam dunk, it ended up being quite labor intensive.
Yes, I'm using more of the ZVA crystals...love them...tons....I yet again altered the shape {snipped here and there} to make so that it would fit...and what's that I see...yuppers...a PTI Pure Poppy button!! wooo hoooo!!! I distressed all the edges, including the Domestic Goddess tag...
Okay enough with the chit chatting...here's the fun sketch:
Thanks to my very magnificent friend 'm' for the gift cert...I also bought one of these and one of these.
Soooooo much stinkin' FUN!!!!
Seriously, this would be icing on the cupcake...check out the fabbie tag I got too!!!!!
cute, cute, cute!!!!
Thanks again Paulina...I'm a lucky duck and you betcha that the first card I make with my Cuttlebug is going to YOU!!!!
I tell you this was perfect timing as it made all the running around that I had to do after meeting Paulina not as chaotic {soccer & school open house}.
Whew!
Thanks for reading to the end....have a super friday peeps!
one, two, buckle my shoe.
Any shoe will do, as long as it is featured on your card.
Well, I knew I wanted to use this Art Impression shoe image. Alas, this card didn't turn out how I originally pictured it...you know how that goes but seriously, I figure that you can't go wrong with Making Memories glittery paper.
Thanks to Ivy for the Paper Source black Ric Rac cards...I folded one in half and nestled it onto the black MM polka dot paper. I then added the pink MM polka dot paper on top of the ric rac card. BTW, the base card & Art Impression shoe is SU Basic Gray...love that color.
Here's the dealio...the interior of the ric rac card has a special message...ready for it....
Yup, you're at the right place...this is my blog. It probably threw you off since I actually have a pattern in my background of this Fabriano card....AND it ISN'T based off of a card sketch!!! I'm testing out propping background paper behind my fabriano cards. I can never get a good photo of them with my normal white background.
This already went postal to my friend who celebrates her birthday today!!
{Happy B Day J!!}
The Early Bird Mini Deck....This is another item out of my stash from Tami...pure perfection for cards...woooo hoooooo for Mini Decks!!!!! BTW, make sure you read Tami's post about a call for cards to be sent to her sister...as avid card makers I know you all gotta have at least 1 spare card to send to a gal that would appreciate it. Sheesh, Tami has even put together some blog candy as a thank you....Memory Box goodies ladies!!!
I did some major paper piecing on this card....finally inked up my Lockhart apron image {thanks to Sherry for the inspiration!!}. I 'was' going to brag that Lockhart's are out of Washington but it seems they went and moved to California :)
The sentiment is A Muse {big surprise...they rock on sentiments!}.
Thanks for some humorous comments on yesterday's post about the new Boyfriend....
