Spooky Card!!!

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone! Today is

Challenge day over at Cricut Cardz! Of course most

of you know by now that Cricut Cardz has

moved to Cardz TV! Mary has also merged both

design teams... so now we are one great big giant

design team! Lots and Lots of inspiration!!!! :o)

Sooo to start the new team off ... Here is our Challenge!!!

“Things That Go Bump In The Night!” Make a card for Halloween

with the spookiest, scariest image you can find on any cartridge(s),

 and using any colors you’d like.

So here is what I came up with!

I don't necessarily think mine is the scariest Challenge card...

but I do like how it turned out! I designed it in my

Design Studio then saved it to my gypsy for cutting....

Card stock, Ink - Stampin' up

Designer Paper - DCWV (Midnight Spell Stack)

Martha Stewart Fence Border Punch

Tim Holtz Brick Embossing Folder

I used Bo Bunny Dot Paper for ALL the cuts

Cartridges - George & Basic Shapes (Circle)

for the MOON Cut @ 2"

Happy Hauntings (Tombstone #1)

#33 on the overlay w/crow Cut @ 3 1/2"

(Tombstone #2) # 36 on the overlay

w/cross Cut @ 3 1/2"

(Tombstone #3) #38 on the overlay Cut @ 3 1/2"

(Mummy) Cut @ 3 1/2" #5 on the overlay

This is also a 5 x 7 card.... Have you noticed I'm

making more of those? I think it's great to use

when you want to add a lot of things on your card...

Other wise I prefer the 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 size! :o)

Thanks for taking the time to look at my card!

Now it's your turn to join in the fun and create

something for the Cricut Cardz Challenge!
Don't forget to check out the other wonderful

creations from all my Design team sisters!

Have an AWESOME DAY!!!

Hello Series #6 & #7.....

Hello and Happy Tuesday Everyone! How's your week

going so far? Mine isn't to bad! I'm not feeling
like making cards again..... I don't know why... I know
I need to get some made but I'm just not feeling it....
What to do? What to do? I've even try looking at
some inspiration and saying ohhh.... pretty...
I need to make something like that.... But then I got
NOTHING! UUGH! I guess I better find some
craftiness somewhere or else I'll go crazy! :o)
Here are my 2 cards for today! :o)

#6) This sweet little birdy card is a Hybrid Card!

It's ALL Stampin' Up! I actually designed this card

a really looong time ago (like Last Year) But never

printed it out! Actually my youngest son helped

me to create this at that time... I was showing him my

program and he thought it was cool so we created this

together! It's nice to finally see it printed out!

I added the Pink Ribbon and Popped up the

"Hello"! The image was printed on Photo paper

to add some shine... :o)

#7) I designed this from a sketch I seen in the

New Card Ideas for Paper Crafters Magazine!

I used my Imagine to create all the Designer Papers

Card stock, Ink, Stamp - Stampin' Up

Top Note small shape - McGill Punch

Designer Paper - Lori's Garden Imagine Cartridge

Cartridges - Art Philosophy (Center Shape) Cut @ 3"

Sophie (Bird/Cage) Cut @ 2 1/4"

Well I hope you like my 2 cards for today! I'll

be back tomorrow with something different to show you!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!

Have an AWESOME DAY!!

"Hello" Card Series #4 & #5...

Hello and Happy Monday everyone! I hope you all
had a Fabulous weekend! I know I did! I mean I didn't
do all that much which I think was the reason it
was so Fabulous! LOL Today I'm gonna show you
2 of my cards in the Hello series.... I realize it will
take FOREVER to show you all of the cards.... So I figure
2 at a time will speed up the process so we can move
on to other fun cards! :o) Here's Cards #4 & #5!

#4) Another Quick and Simple Hello Card!

I made this one using my Imagine!

Card stock - Stampin' Up & American Crafts

Cartridges - Imagine More Cards (Floral Designer Paper)

Cut @ 5 x 3 3/4"

(Butterflies) Cut @ 1 3/4" (2x's)

Beyond Birthdays (Hello Friend) Cut @ 1 1/2" w/ shadow

#5) This one was from a sketch I saw on Pagemaps

It's also a Hybrid card! Everything is Stampin' Up

I cut very thing out of regular paper and card stock

except for the Small center section with the "Hello"

& "Butterflies" part.... That part was actually done

using My Digital Studio and printed on Photo Paper.

It turned out lovely and I really like those colors together!

Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a comment!

 I'll be back tomorrow with 2 more from this series! :o)

Have an AWESOME DAY!!

"Hello" series Card #3....

Hello and Happy Thursday Everyone! We are almost

through the week already! YEAAA!!! I LOVE
short weeks! I just found out my Sweet MIL is in
the Hospital! Over the past 5yrs. she has been
in and out of them.... And her health is so-so...
She was walking down the hall at her house when
she fell and I guess did enough damage to
require a hospital stay. I don't know all the details
for sure cause My hubby isn't all that good at telling
what happen. Her Daughter was up visiting from Texas
and called while I was out. So All I know for sure is that
she was hurt badly enough to be sent to the hospital and
that she will be there for a few days, then off to a
rehab center for a little bit longer. She has fallen so many
times that I just feel terrible for her. She is one of the
feistiest people I know and that's what I LOVE most about her!
 Here is one of the "HELLO" Cards I made for her...

I created this card from a sketch I seen in the brand new issue

of the Paper Crafts "Card Ideas" for paper crafters...

They have some FABULOUS sketches in that book!

The creations are wonderful too but I prefer using the

sketches they have in it!  :o) Let me tell ya how

I created this quick and simple card!

Card stock - Stampin' Up

Designer paper - MME (Hattie)

Cartridge - Elegant Edges

I use the "Frames" on pg. 23 in the book...

It was cut @ 1" & 1 1/2"

Then I used the "Frames" on pg. 59 in the book...

It was cut @ 1" & 1 1/2"

Then I used the "Frames" on pg. 65 in the book....

It was cut @ 1" & 1 1/2"

Lacey Labels - "Hello" Cut @ 3 1/2"

I really like how this card turned out!

I think it's the colors and the paper I like

the best! Thanks for stopping by and leaving me a comment!

I LOVE reading them... Have an AWESOME Week/Weekend!!

"Hello" Series Card #2

Hello and Happy Wednesday Everyone! I hope you are

all ready for the short work week! My son loves it cause

he only has 3 days of school! With homeschooling we can

pick our own hours for school work.... So we take Fridays

off every week and work a little longer M-Th. Since it's

a short week we'll work a couple extra hours T, W, Th and take

Friday off! We both really like our new schedule and it fits us!

We decided to change our art program too... We will be

making things with my cricut! I have several different ones,

so he'll get to use one of my expressions for his art projects...

We've already discussed him making a Fall card! He even

did a sketch, so when we have art class he can

recreate it! When he gets it made I'll post it for you

guys to see! OK.... Enough chit chat... here's my card! :o)

This is a Hybrid card! I used My Digital Studio

from Stampin' Up on the center piece and printed it

on Canon Photo paper.... I printed out the

 Striped Designer paper too.... It's also

from Stampin' Up.... The Orange Ribbon &

Pink Mini brad are from Stampin' Up....

The Flower I made using the

Mother's Day Bouquet Cartridge!

I cut the flowers @ 2", 1 3/4", 1 1/2", 1"

Here's a closer look at the flower I made...

I did ink the edges to give it some depth....

Quick and simple! Thanks for stopping by!

Have an AWESOME DAY!!

"Hello" Card Series #1....

Happy Monday and Labor Day Everyone! I hope you

are all enjoying your 3 day weekend! I've actually done

some card making! I told you last week that I was making

some cards for my MIL.... Well that's what I'll be showing

you over the next 2 weeks.... They are all made with either

a sketch, hybrid (Part Digi- Part Paper) or something else....

I tried to make them easy for my MIL to mail off.....

They do have some dimension but not like I would normally do....

So here's the first in my "HELLO" Card Series! I hope you enjoy them! :o)

This was made using a Sketch from Mojo Monday

It's also a Hybrid type of card... Mostly Digital!

Everything is From Stampin' Up - My Digital Studio Program

Yellow Twine for the Button

Card stock - Stampin' Up

I used Canon Photo Paper to print it out....

It adds some shine and gives it a dimensional look

without all the dimension!

Thanks for taking a look! Enjoy the rest of your

Holiday Weekend! Have an AWESOME Day!!

Altered book....

Hello and Happy Thursday everyone! It's the end of the

line for me! Well...... End of the week! Any whoo...

I've had an easy week of schooling my son! Which

is wonderful news for us! It seems to be working out well

now and I hope I'm teaching him all the work I'm suppose

to be teaching him! :o) We went to the local library yesterday

to pick up some Science books... Having a little trouble with

that subject! It never was my favorite subject so that might

be why it's hard on us both! LOL But I did find some fun

experiment books so I'm hoping that will get both of us on

the right track! My son picked out 3 library books too

read... Not that he doesn't already have a nice library of his

own... But I thought it would be nice to pick out something

he doesn't already have in his library collection.... Any

way... I told ya yesterday I had something other than a

card today! Well that is true! I hope you like it!

I'm always writing my card directions on something and

thought it would be nice to just use (1) book and

decorate it to fit me! I LOVE Blue! So of course

you can see that on my book! :o)

Dark Grey CS, Ribbon, Gems, Ink - Stampin' Up

Designer papers - MME Stella & Rose Collection

Light Grey Card stock - Bo Bunny Dots

Butterfly Punch - The Paper Studio

WeR Memory Corner Punch

Composition Book - Wal-Mart

Cartridge - Art Philosophy

Notebook Cover - Dark Grey Cut @ 9 3/4" x 7" (Front & Back)

Blue Designer Paper Layer Cut @ 9 1/4" x 6 1/2"

ABC Design in Yellow Cut @ 6.47 x6.41

Striped Border trim Cut @ 1 1/4" x 7"

Light Gery Shape Layer Cut @ 3 1/2"

Inside Layer Shape Cut @ 3 1/2"

Words Cut @ 1"

Just a couple of close ups for ya to see!

I did pop up the Shaped area where it says

"Card Ideas"! That's the only part I popped

up! I know.... WHAT? I tried to make it

pretty and yet easy to use for writing in. :o)

The Butterflies are not popped up, I only
attach the centers of the butterflies so I could
pull the wings up to give it some dimension. I really,
really like how this came out! I designed this in my Design
Studio first and then transferred it to my Gypsy for cutting!
I've already started to write in it... Like the directions on how
I made this! This way I know where to find all my ideas/sketches
in one place and not on all types of scrap paper... which I have
done from time to time.... I also have a larger notebook that I
write in but I also write other stuff in there... Like when the
phone rings and I need to jot something down quickly... Soooo
hopefully I won't do that with this book! I'll let you know
how that goes! LOL Thanks so much for stopping by and
thanks for any and all comments! They mean a lot to me!
Have an AWESOME rest of week/weekend!!
