2010 Calendar

Every year I do a little desk calendar so when I saw Squirrely Girl this year in the Inspiration Magaloge it was just perfect for this project. I used the saying from a retired set called Its the Little Things which worked perfect. I colored with my Copic Markers which was so much fun and added a little extra embellishment with fun fur and glitter.

Winter Flurries

This is one of my favorite sets in the Inspiration Avenue magalog this fall. Just a bit of coloring with Copic markers for his scarf, add a little glitter and a couple of blings and you have a cute card. My friend and I took a class last week at our fav local scrapbook store and the gal had some super ideas which I adapted for this card. I will be posting a couple more in the coming days. After the class we all went to lunch and caught up on all the latest/greatest happenings in the stamping world.

Fun Skulls

When I saw this set in the new Inspiration Ave. catty I knew exactly what I was going to make. A congrats for my granddaughter on her recent engagement. I know a little ghoulish but she and her groom to be got a real kick out of the idea. Colored with Copic markers, a little glitter and sakura pen and oh the flourish trees for a back drop. I am going to go ahead and enter this over at Haunted Design House. I know Barb likes more scarey but just had to use the skulls in a fun way.

This is a quick card I made for dear granddaughter (she is 7). She sent Grandpa a ballon arrangement while he was in the hospital so made this card and enclosed a picture of the arrangement in with the card. Love these mice, colored with Copic markers, cool grays, used our downloaded paper (LOVE THEM) and a new punch from EK Success. The punch reminded me of holes in cheese - okay my imagination is vivid!!
My MoJo has not been flowing lately with DH in the hospital. He is now home but again not without problems, he developed cellulitis (skin inflammation) in the arm where his IV infusion was placed. So we are treating with big gun antibiotics and saying a lot of prayers. All of this because of a kidney stone!!!

Dear Friend

This is a card for one of the girls I work with, her daughter was in a pretty bad car accident Thursday and is still in the ICU. Thought I would send this to her to let her know I was thinking of her. I have another friend whose daughter also had a car accident on Friday but she was not badly injured so off to make a card for her too. This set is one of my favs from the new Serendipity, she is just so darned cute and fun to color. I colored with Copic markers, still working on shading but I love to color.

Some Bunny

Needed a quick card for a sister angel that just had oral surgery and thought this bunny might put a smile on her face. This bunny is from our new set Some Bunny and when I saw them I knew they had to go in my collection. I paper pieced her dress and the label is from the Bella Flor collection which has been de'd, it was a beautiful collection so it will be missed. Colored the bunny with copic markers (still in my learning curve). Did a little scor-pal border and card complete.
