A PRESENT FOR YOU!!

A PRESENT FOR YOU!

The first five people to comment on this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you.

This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make.

2. What I create will be just for you.* It’ll be done this year. (Homemade stuff can take a little while.)

3. You have no clue what it’s going to be. It may be a story. It may be poetry. I may draw or paint something (that would be a nightmare for me and you lol). I may bake you something and mail it to you (that would be a miracle...I don't cook!! haha). Who knows? Not you, that’s for sure!

4. I reserve the right to do something extremely strange (I doubt it!). The catch? The catch is that you must repost this offer on your post!! In other words, PASS IT ON!! We can all make stuff, can't we?

I got this idea from: Yet Another Card Blog Check it out!!!

Just a scrappin.................

I haven't been making cards lately, I've been trying to get caught up on scrapping for these two boys. They aren't mine, but I was asked by their grandma to scrapbook for her. I really enjoy it. It's rather random and she doesn't really have journaling but it's something she wants to enjoy with her grandbabies. What a sweet gesture on her part (I got her permission to post these but with no names). These two boys are wonderfully photogenic and it has certainly been my pleasure to scrapbook for them!!!

When I scrapbook, I want the pictures to be the focus so I don't use alot of goo-gahs!! LOL I love that word!! I may add something on the left side of the Brothers page.

Chalk Hint

This card is completely chalked. I got it all chalked, cut out and everything mounted and then choked on some pop and spit all over it...........sheesh!!

Chalk is always going to give you a softer look to your cards. I usually chalk the picture how I want and then spray in with cheap hairspray. On this card, I wanted more highlights than I could get with the original chalking. So after spraying and drying, I chalked the areas that I wanted darker and sprayed again. I wanted it darker so I did it again.

Hint: You can set your chalk and then chalk over it being sure to spray inbetween chalkings. Works great!!

Crooked on Purpose

I had to film this card off to the side. The gold mirror cardstock reflected big time.

I must be the worst photographer in the world. I have a really high class digital camera and I still can't take a great picture!!

This card is so much more colorful than the picture...........(sigh)

Stamp: On the inside "Happy Valentine Day" Ink: Colorbox cranberry Paper: Basic Grey Eva, Bazzil Cranberry, gold mirror cardstock Embellishmets: pink ribbon, pink brads, SU gold elastic cord, Kaiser rhinestones Other: Nestabilities scalloped and plain hearts, Cuttlebug dotted swiss

I'm In Love Again or Have you seen Bazzill's Dotted Swiss?

I'M IN LOVE.... AGAIN!!

OMG, have you tried the Dotted Swiss made by Bazzill?? It feels just like you ran the entire piece of cardstock through the Cuttlebug's dotted swiss folder!!! It's texture is so cool and it comes in tons of colors. I found some at my LSS (well sort of, nothing is close to where I live) but here's where you can see it online......

Another Valentine Card and a Million Stickers

I cleaned out my stickers today. What an experience!!! lol First of all, I had to get them all together. Some were in a basket and some were in sticker binder (never liked it). After I sorted them by categories; letters, school, baby, red hatters, borders......you get the idea, I looked at the pile of letters and thought I could spell every word in the dictionary and never have to share letters!!! Sheesh!!

Anyway, I kept very few stickers of various themes and bundled up the rest and gave them away. I never use stickers anymore but I thought I might use the school themed ones. Wow what an eye opening experience.

After that, I made a Valentine card out of some paper that I found stuffed in with the stickers. Have you heard of Daisy Bucket stamps??? Well when they started out, they had kits and I must have bought one. I didn't have a clue what to do with all the goodies so I probably just stuffed them in the first place I could find (we are talking about several years ago!). Well I made a card out of those papers............

Sorry about the crooked picture........I'm not a photographer!! Stamp (Je taime) is Penny Black and I used the Cuttlebug Dotted folder.

Turtle Valentine

Here's my first valentine card. Now I fully intended to use my Cuttlebug folders as I have every one ever made. Then didn't do it!!! Boy my memory (or lack there of) amazes me. I was watching Criminal Minds on TiVo and forgot about it.

Anyway, the card turned out ok. The patterned paper shows a little glossier than it really is and the pearls are light pink not red!!!!

I wish I could remember where the paper came from as I have several pages that can intermix. I bought it last year and it simply isn't marked (or I cut it off ). It's shimmery and beautiful. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

The stamp is by Great Impressions. I use their stamps alot. They don't seem to have a site for themselves. I usually buy them at the Danicas or online at Sierra Enterprises. Ribbon is from Papertrey.

The jazzed card

Ok folks, here is the jazzed up version.

I added some pearls, a flower and lots a paper piercing.

Remember I don't have all the do-dahs that other designer bloggers have but I think I definitely have to update my Prima flowers. Mine are horribly sad.
