Lucy Cheese

Lucy is ready to bring Birthday Wishes for a special friend that lives out of town. I loved her and the BD greeting inside re age is not important - and how true that is. Colored with copic markers, nesties to cut her out, the DP is from some scraps that I "found" today in my file cabinet. It still needed a bit of something hence the petty little flowers and pearl centers. I hope she enjoys getting this card as much as I enjoyed making it.

DPDC21 - Doodle Pantry Challenge

Is this Irish Birdie from Doodle Pantry not the cutest??? I love using Doodle Pantry images especially the precolored ones and a lot of the images comes with coordinating DP to match - so this was a easy peasey card to put together, print images, nesties, cut the DP and paste, and of course a bit of "bling". I have some Irish in my veins as my mother was a Casey so I usually send out a few cards to the family on St. Pats Day. I also had to send a card to my chemo patients with a padded envie with green socks, green gum, green tic-tacs, and green tea. Oh I forgot the best part of playing along with the DP challenges - you get a FREE image and this month it is absolutely darling.

CAS one Layer card

This is the 2nd of 2 cards we (my friend Pat and I) made last week when we got together just to "create and catch up on things. She and I have both had a bit of stress in our lives so the afternoon was a wonderful stress reliever. I had seen this on Gina K. Stamp TV and it was so easy peasy - but yet made a very attractive card. I used a Magenta stamp I had sitting on my shelf for a LONG time and it worked very well for this, just about any image would work be it flower, butterflies, bugs etc. a red ribbon a sentiment (from AMuse) and this card is already on its way to a new home - hopefully the chemo patient will Smile when she gets this card.

SPRING Card

Yesterday my friend Pat came over, we had a nice lunch including a cake (yes that I had made). We then went down to my craft room - opened both of my doors and OMG the MoJo flowed!!! Pat had brought a set called Narcissus from Stampendous - which was perfect for this project Paper Piecing outside the Line which I had seen on Gina K Stamp TV. What made this image perfect was the NEW and BEAUTIFUL AMuse polka dot cs which I love - this was such a fun card to make and we were able to talk, create, share and just have fun - stress free afternoon which was long over due in my life. This card is ready for a new home as I just got a special request from Chemo angels this am about a patient that needed some sunshine and cheer - how perfect this card is to send on. Will post another simple card that we created in addition to this one. And Oh did I tell you "we" (both Pat and I) LOVE Amuse CS???

Beautiful Botanicals

Talk about a quick and easy card - and that is about all I can muster up here lately - looking for my MoJo but it is just avoiding my craft room for some reason. The "flu" has finally left this house - thank heaven. Both DH and I were down for about a week and a half - I'll never say nurses don't get sick again!~! Thank heaven I have enough cards to send out to my chemo patients already made up. This card uses some scor-pal work - then I took the layer and cut it using a creative memory cutter that I have had for a long time, it has an option to make a curve/wavy cut. I separated it just slightly. For the focal image I used one of my favorite AMuse images from Beautiful Botanicials - the sentiment is from The Angel Tags a pearl in the center, a narrow pink grosgrain ribbon and the card was ready to mail.

TJ Stampscapes

This is about all I could "eek" out this week - I am the nurse that "never" gets sick - well I have been sick ALL week - including Valentines Day. First the flu and yes I had a flu shot this year as always then it settled in as a sinus infection which I am still dealing with. My friend Pat brought me lunch on Thursday and we managed to create for about 1/2 hour and I told her time to go as I was going to go back to the couch with my blanket!!! This was such an easy card to make - scribbled water color crayons on matte cs, took the water brush and spread the colors, hit it with the heat gun and stamped the image. I have several Stampscape images but this has always been one of my favorite. The saying is from TAC. A couple of tiny buttons and scrappers floss and the card is already to put in the mail on Tuesday (Monday is a holiday no mail).

Birthday Card for My FriendieH

Here is the birthday card I made for my "long-time" BFF (notice I didn't say OLD!!! I used a darling image from All That Scraps - she is a Sweet November image Fairwee Josies Cupcake and she was so much fun to work with - go check out the other images available - in fact I got a couple more because they were just too cute. Colored her with copics, spellbinder dies used Happy Birthday circle again from All That Scraps, DP from DCWV and of course had to add a bit of bling. She was very pleased with my card, since I hand delivered I made a 5 in. square card so no extra postage.
