Anniversary Cards

I was asked to make an anniversary card for a friend's son's 1st Anniversary. Since it was their first anniversary I wanted to use the colors from their wedding which was pastel green and blue.
The card I made I used Penny Duncan's Swing Card File and See from the Heart Stamp. I used VersaMark to stamp French Flair background. Mulberry paper from Korea I used behind the See with the Heart Picture. I cut Happy Anniversary from Martha Stewart's Elegant Cake on the opposite side. I used a variety of stickers from Jeffery Allen.


Since the card was for someone else to give I got nervous and made a 2nd card so she would have a couple of choice. I used some various die cuts in my accessories box.

My Hubby like the first card best and my daughter likes the 2nd one best. I like them both.
Tomorrow we shall see if my friend like either.


I think I am finally getting my ArtRoom the way I like it. Although I am still having trouble finding all my stuff. This week though it will be neglected for the sewing room.

Kindergarten Graduation & Stress!!!

So Saturday we are celebrating my nephew's Kindergarten Graduation. Just a little something while the family is together for a birthday party. This is the card I made him. I used School Bears from My Scrap Chick. Pooh Font and Locker Talk cartridges to boot. The base is from Penny Duncan and left over from my daughter's HS Graduation invites last year. The mortar cap is from SVG Cuts.

While working on the card my laptop just all of a sudden shut down. AHHHHH! I got it back up and it immediately shut down again. Third time wouldn't even come up. I left it alone for a while and did a system repair which decided it needed a system restore. At first I though it was from the Microsoft update yesterday, but I think now it was a Picasa update. Anyhoo, I'm not liking Thursday so much as the last two haven't been much fun!!! I'm rerunning virus scans (which was running 1st time around) and hoping for the best.
I'm hoping you all are having a much better Thursday.

A couple of the cards from today!

Remember these are all from my scrap pile. The picture of Jesus is from a card I got. I believe that the Purple and Green cards are from Wanda's Crafts. And the middle card is a Penny Duncan Cut. I think the stamp below is Magenta.
You really can't see that some of the birds are popped up. Oh well.
The last card I used the Very Vintage Stampin Up wheel done in Versamark and dusted with gold perfect pearl dust. I also swiped the Versamark across the embossed brown and did the same.

Surprise Birthday


I made this card for a dear friend. Her husband threw her a surprise party tonight. She is such a special gal and is always doing so much for so many. I used so many of my resources to make this card.
The base, door, vines and poem are Penny Duncan, The gate is part of a card from Monica. The pillars and flowers are from the Moonlight Garden set at SVG Cuts. The grass is from Plantan Schoolbook cart. The butterflies are from MS Elegant Cake. The hummingbird and dragon flies are from Lyrical Letters.
I made the door seperate so she could open it. I'm happy to say she liked it. It was a wonderful party.



So Cely asked if it would fit into 5 x 7 or half sized envelope. Here is the cut file on an envelope.
I have also sized Penny's card files smaller, but it is think and the space is pretty small.

New Baby!



My kid's favorite babysitter just had his first child on Thursday. We are super excited for Him and his sweet wife. He is an outstanding Christian young man who has been a great example and teacher to both of my kids. I saw this cut file on Einnej's Esty shop and new I had to use if for their card. I used Penny Duncan's Hydrangea flower file for my embellishment. The inside sentiment is from Bethany's Elegant Word Art.

Christmas Present for Tiffany




So this is for another niece, Tiffany. I used Penny Duncans Fancy Edge Books, some of her Shaplies, some frames from SVG Cuts and from Free SVGs. There are also some Greeting Farm and Bells and Whistles mixed in for good measure. Also included by not shown is a 8 1/2 x 11 vellum sheet full of quotes from my niece and her friends that I got from her Facebook Wall. The paper is an old DCWV Summer pack. I used my friend's Zutter Bind it All to put it together. I used lots of old posterboard with songs for Jr. Church. Leftovers from back in the day when we didn't have DVDs, Powerpoint or even access to a copy machine. LOL

Graduation Invitation



So My dear daughter will be graduating this spring provided she passes the state constitution test tomorrow. LOL
Anyway I was really inspired when I did her brother's invites in 2007 and she wanted something just as "spectacular" for hers. Since Christmas I have been struggling with what to do for her invites. Nothing was ringing mine or her bell. Anyway amazing Penny Duncan posted a couple of cut files today on her website. Thank you Penny!!!!!! And I was finally inspired! The Poem is leftover from my son's, but DD wanted it too. The other cuts are from SVG Cuts Graduation cards.

Shudder & Swing Cards


Here is two Christmas Cards I've made using some Penny Duncan's files. I really had a time with the first one. It started off so awful. I finally put it away for a day and then tore it apart and started over. The Swing Card has a manger cut off of the Craft Edge forum. I'm sorry I don't know whose it it.
