Happy Halloween

So, I finally got a chance to meet Jade's ladies from her stamp class and I had the honor to make a class card! I love that little bat and that is why I showcased him with a dimensional.

Last class projects

These are the three note cards my class did in our most recent class. The photo is dark, but this is just a "practice post" from my new birthday gift. Hope it works!

Thanks so much...

Hello blog...remember me? I have been MIA, but that seems to happen on this blog from time to time.

So, here's my card. I intented this card to be a card for this week's class, but alas class had to be canceled...so, now it's just a random card. Sorry about the pic, it's late and I'm tired.

I was inspired by this week's Shabby Tea Room Challenge #58 and the sketch is from All Things Unity Challenge #29. (just flipped it and made it a long and narrow card)

I got the idea for this card in a couple of places from this month's Stampin' Success magazine.

What a handy little magazine that turns out to be when you need a quick idea for a class or workshop.

The next picture is a close up of the little detail that makes this card special. in my opinion, at least.

I love the color's and the punched images...it screams Spring to me, even though the weather outside does not. :-(

Not a lot of stamping here...which makes me happy. I love stamping, but the versatility of these products just make card making so easy.

I sponged the butterflies just to give them some depth, popped up the panel and added some bling, because bling makes me happy. So, TFL!

Happy Birthday!

This card was made for one of my students. She has been bugging me since last year to make her a birthday card...and it's still late...her birthday was two weeks ago!

She's a good kid and the only one I know would appreciate the labor that goes into make a card.

She made sure to let me know that she loves red and black. She also told me that she likes glitter and lace. I think I covered all my bases. Hope she likes it. TFL

Bliss

Here's my entry for Shelli Gardner's February Challenge. She challenged everyone to use something from the SAB catalog. Well, how could I not use Bliss? It is by far the most beautiful stamp set in the catalog. I'm also entering it into the Craft Your Passion Challenge #44, this week it's Anything Goes.

My inspiration was from a couple of different places. First, from the SU! home decor called Flutter. Second, I had seen this commercial for some insurance company (I think it's an insurance company) with this African-American couple and their child talking about something and in the background there is this purple wall with this cascading purple and white butterflies wall decor. Have you seen that commercial?

Note: I figured it out! It's legalzoom.com. Here's the commercial!

Well, it is so beautiful I knew I wanted to make a card like that.

But there's more to the story...feeling all cocky and proud of myself...I mean it's not everyday my good ideas work out so well...I started surfing around and sure enough I found this card. Though it's beautiful, I was sad that I was not the only person with this idea. Boo hoo for me.
