100 Acre Woods Birthday

So I have a friend who loves Pooh and Friends just as much as I do and her birthday is tomorrow. I gave myself Monday to spend in my Art Room to make her card. Yes I have been planning this card in my head for a while. While is was still a very hot day (I guess that is the only kind we have this year), it was a cloudy day so I was able to have the blinds
open in my room. I don't know about ya'll
but I'm much more creative when I can look outside at trees and stuff.

I used SVG Cuts September Stand Up Cards, The Maple Forest for my base card. Of course I made the leaves green because we haven't had enough green anything this summer.
I stretched it as big as I could make it.

I used Pooh and Friends Cartridge for the rest of the card. All the paper colors are Stampin' UP
These are my recipes for the card. Piglet was 2 1/4" and I use Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose
Eeyore was 2 1/2" and I use Brocade Blue, Bordering Blue and Regal Rose for Him.
The sign is 2 inches and I used leftover as well for the grass.


Tigger was 4 inches and I used Tangerine Tango, So Saffron and Pretty in Pink.
Owl was ? I think 2 1/2. I forget to measure. I used Crumb Cake and More Mustard for him. His wings was a piece of leftover paper.
Roo was 2 1/2 inches Temping Turquoise, a spare brown similar to Really Rust and Pretty in Pink.
Pooh was 3 1/2 inches. I use More Mustard and Really Red for Him.

Rabbit was 1 1/2 inch and I use Barely Banana and White and Pretty in Pink for him. The Tree House was 2 inches as was the cake.

I used the Pooh Font Cart and my Cri-Kit Pen to write the words on the back. I was tickled with how it came out and she loved the card. If you see Darla tomorrow, tell her Happy Birthday!

Fresh Strawberries

So perusing my Blogger Reading list I cam across a post by the Pink Stamper. It made me smile and was perfect for a card I needed to make.
She was highlighting a new cart release, but Create A Critter has a cute cow on it too. I have that one. :) The words on her card front was from one of her stamp sets.
I just cut it out using Pooh Font.
But why did I need a Thank You Card you ask?

For the batch of wonderful sweet strawberries that were delivered to my door on Thursday!
The yummy paper strawberries were made using a Free Strawberry file from SVG Cuts.
The font is Frutopia! I can't wait to hand deliver the card in the morning!

Birthday Party!

Saturday we celebrated 2 of my nephews birthdays. Clayton turned 8 years old on Sunday!
The boys had a Mythbusters Birthday Party. My Sister in law made a cake with a brownie bomb in it. So cool! I used SVG Cuts Jonathon Bear for his card. The dirt is actually from Everyday Paper Dolls and I embossed it with my Happy Birthday folder. The inside of the Card said, "Clayton we dug up lots of awesome Birthday Wishes just for you."

Ben will be turning 4 tomorrow. I used the Waterfall Card set from SVG Cuts for card. I played with the card for quite a while before finally opening his present. :) All the little boys had to have a turn with the card.

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.

Ninja Bear

My Son is finishing up his semester of college with a bazillion papers. At least that's what is sounded like when he rattled them off on Saturday night. So this too cute bear is from SVG Cuts Johnathon Bear Set. Although my son is a Taekwondo guy, I thought the whole ninja thing would be a fun card for him.

The inside words I found on the interest when I Google Ninja sayings. The Finish Strong is Mom wisdom. :) Hopefully he will get it tomorrow. His dear wife will find something special for her tucked inside his card.

Valentine's for the Nephews

This card is all Create Critter.

The card uses Create A Critter and the wonderful Monster from SVG CUTS. I used hearts instead of the lava clumps!

This is also Create A Critter, but the sentiment on the inside is from Lyrical Letters.

Happy Birthday!

SVG CUTS!

SVG Files – Sure Cuts A Lot

Congratulations Leo & Mary!
Keep up the Great work!

Variety of Cards

I pulled out one of my House Mouse Stamps for this card. They are so much fun and just bring a smile to you face. Which I hope was the case for this card. It went to a friend who is having a lot of headaches at work.

This is the front of the card for one of my sister-in-laws. The owl is a free file from SVG Cuts. I'm not normally an owl person, but really liked him. The font is from Nursery Rhymes Cart.
I used my wind stamp from the Stardust Stampin' Up set. It's a really great set that I use all the time. I embossing it with Ranger's Pearl Blue.

This is the other card I made for my friend Deb. I used the Imagine, Country Life, Nursery Tails and Pooh & Friends for this card.

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.

Happy New Year

Happy 2011 to all. I've had company for a week and then got sick right after they left for the last several day. Finally starting to feel on the mend. Haven't had time to spend in the ArtHaven with all the comings and goings so I thought I'd share the boxes I made for our Christmas Swap at Art Club. I used the Big Boutique Boxes from SVG Cuts. They were easy peasy to make and they were a big hit at the party. I've got extra girl's here this morning and even had an extra boy for a while. (One of the kid's friend blew his radiator in front of our house.) Winter came back with the new year so I'm glad he had car trouble here and not in the country.

I am working on a couple of special cards that hopefully I will finish today.

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

Christmas Vinyl

I made these two car window vinyls for my sisters-in-laws for Christmas. I doubt that it will be warm enough for a while though for them to put them on their cars. The people are from SVG Cuts and the font is Ketcup.

More Swap Stuff

This is the bag I did for Diann. I couldn't find a plain brown paper gift bag. They were always sold out. LOL I used vinyl for the cut file and the name I have on the file is Brandon W. I'm sorry I don't remember who you are. :(

I used the cut file from SVG Cuts for my Tag. I love the paper. I think it was SEI? I added stickles for some bling and a little ribbon.

The Pink card is Gable Green and Pixie Pink Stampin Up Paper. The background is a Stampin up Itty Bitty background stamp and the words from a Greeting Farm set. The butterfly is from a little stationary set I got from a book fair a million years ago when I was still working. The white cards I used one of the A2 Gate fold Cards from SVG CUTS.

Harvest Card

Here is a harvest card I made for our dear friend, Poppy. It's that time of year in our part of the universe. I used the Harvest Bear set again for my Oliver Tractor and the Words and a few of the leaves. The set came from My Scrap Chick.
The other leaves are from the SVG Cuts September Stand Up Scene Cards.
The corn in the background is from Scrappin' Tables Fall Theme Set.
