My First Order!


I had an order from some girls at Bible Study to make some cards.  Can't show all of them as they are for people in the group (no sneak peeks!) but I can show the cards that will be submitted for a silent auction!
Here's two that are finished so far....

Excuse the photos- I was playing around with the light and saturation settings.  I have no idea what I'm doing but it's fun!

The first card was made using Elzybells stamps (can't get enough of those cuties!).  
Sentiment is by Paper Trey and ribbon is by Elzybells.  The ribbon seemed to go perfectly with the car!  This was a simpler card that came together relatively quickly.  Love those ones!  Keeping with a simple theme, I distressed the edges around the card using a razor blade.  N
ext, I double stamped the stamped image and cut it out using a craft knife.  The popped up image was coloured using some bold Sakura gel pen colours and then secured to the paper using some foam squares.  

The second card was using My Mind's Eye patterned paper (there's a 40% off sale going on at a LSS, can you tell?!), some Making Memories brads and this gorgeous ribbon that I found at my LSS but I can't remember what the name is!  So pretty!  I shabbily distressed the edges in antique linen Ranger ink and stamped the images in Stazon (midnight blue, for this one).  
The whole card has an old skool feeling to it to me- reminds me of a farm house- type decor where you might find some hand crocheted doilies! 
Couldn't make my mind up on whether or not I wanted to leave the sentiment on the card but, in the end, I added it.  I think it would look a bit better had the sentiment piece been a tad bit smaller in size.  Finished it off with a little paper piercing at the bottom. :O)

Thanks for stopping by!

Da dum de dum, da dum de dum



Hello fellow non-concurrently diagnosed peeps. ;O)




It has been a good week. Kimmer had her bridal shower on Wednesday and it was done Pampered Chef style! Yeah! It was the kind of party that you invite 30 people to, and all of them plus a few show up. Kimmer racked in $850 in free product (nice) and seems to have more money to spend than sme may want to buy with!! Quite the debacle.


Here's her card... I tried to find a 'steel blue' (no idea what steel blue is) type of colour for the card as this is her wedding colour theme. And the black you ask? Why is there black on such a celebratory card? Well, that was for P, L and I who are the remaining single sistas of our life group. We mourn the loss of another sista who takes that fateful step into wedded bliss. Heda heda.

Seriously though, we are stoked for Kim.

And check out the sentiment inside the card! So fun!


Plus I got to play with the new Marvy Uchida paper cutter using the scallop blade. Score!
