Thank You Card

I found this Sugar Nellie "Flora" digi stamp at Funky Kits  they are located in Scotland.  I thought their stamps were so beautiful and just had to get busy and make a card. This is what I came up with.  I coloured the girl with Copics, and popped her up on the chair, which I paper pieced.  I've never done that before....it's not perfect, but thought it turned out pretty good for a newbie.  I printed an extra image and cut out the teddy bear to pop up on dimensionals.  I added the pink cushion behind her and also the hat.  I goofed on one piece of the chair so had to find a way to cover it up... hence, the hat!  I wanted it to look like a room, so I used the striped paper to look like wallpaper and the brown card stock I embossed to look like a textured carpet.

Here's a closer look...

My picture is a little blurry, sorry about that.

WOYWW

I'm almost too late for this.... but it's still Wednesday for another hour or so....at least it is in my part of the world ;0) 

Anyway..... this "contraption" is what is on my work desk today.  I saw this idea for storing ribbon in a magazine.  Well, actually it suggested using dowel, a paper towel holder would work too...but I saw this toilet plunger in the dollar store and thought that it might just do the job. Well, it would if it would stay stuck to my desk. Oh well, that's what you get for buying cheap stuff!

So much for my "brilliant" idea!

Update:  June 23, 2011 ~ This has given me an idea (hopefully a better one than this) Stay tuned....I'll be back to show you when it's done. hee hee!

I just finished an album, so yesterday I tidied everything up on my work desk, There's some cut outs for a couple of cards I need to do....and that's about it.

Bye for now & thanks for looking!

A Simple Card

We are very blessed to have a family and many dear friends who have supported us in so many ways during the past few months while my hubby has been sick.  

Here are some of the cards that I recently made for them.

Here's part of the inside....

I made the sentiments on my computer, if you'd like to use them, just right click & save to your computer.

Recipe Mini Album

Here is the mini album which I recently made for my granddaughter and her hubby.  It has many family favourites plus lots of extra recipe cards to add their own favourites.  I searched the internet for free recipe related graphics, and purchased some as well. I also added a few personal touches to some pages....

Thanks for stopping by.

Another Paper Bag Mini Album

Here is an album I made for my Granddaughter.  

It is a paper bag album, but a different style than others I've seen. 

 I found the tutorial HERE  but found it to be a little difficult to understand.  Then I found instructions 

HERE on the Scor Pal website, which helped a lot.

Hope everyone is fine, thanks for visiting,
