Birthday Catch Card

I cut out this fish from the potpourri basket cartridge that I borrowed from my very good friend. This was made for my other good friend's husbands birthday yesterday. I used my turquoise stickles to add some color and bling to this fish. I used my white gel pen to add details to the fish also. I took some metal wire and made a hook out of it and tied some twine at the end. I stamped my favorite dots stamp from Judith Stamps on the background and used my Stampin Up letters for the sentiment. A few brads to tie in the metal element and you have a manly birthday card for a guy who loves to fish. I thought I got the colors right and this card is really growing on me. Of course, I am totally adding this to GETTING CRICKY's CARTRIDGE CHALLENGE: BOYISH CHARMS at http://kandrewdesigns.blogspot.com/.

Hatchetman Card

So, this was a card I got made for my friends 15 year old son. He is into some really crazy rock bands and likes the Hatchetman logo. I cut the image out on MTC and embossed the background with the spots and dots cuttlebug embossing folder. I used my red chalk to chalk around the edges. I left it that. What 15 year old boy wants glitter or rhinestones? I stamped congrats on the inside. He has been doing an excellent job in school already this year and he deserved this. I was so excited to hear how cool he thought the card was. I guess I did ok. I added this crazy card to http://kandrewdesigns.blogspot.com/ for the GETTING CRICKY's CARTRIDGE CHALLENGE: BOYISH CHARMS.

Shark Card

This is the shark card I made for my brother's birthday. My husband and I went to the beach with my brother and sister-in-law in August and my brother caught his first shark. He was out on an 8hr boat ride with a group of other fishermen. He didn't get a picture of his shark and they are only allowed to keep one per boat, so he had to set it free. I thought this would be perfect for him and I was hoping it wasn't TOO cute for him. I used my friends Life is a Beach cartridge for the shark and the waves. I used my Storybook cartridge to cut out the scallop oval and then I embossed it with my divine swirl cuttlebug embossing folder. I used my black stickles for the black border around the shark. I chalked the waves in white and added a little detail to the waves with my gel pen. I stamped the background with my dots stamp by Judith. The perfect touch was the fishing lure my mom gave me to add to this card. I am really happy with this card and I am so glad my brother loved it. I will have to out-do myself next year though. Hope you enjoy. Happy November!

Also, I entered this card in the GETTING CRICKY's CARTRIDGE CHALLENGE: BOYISH CHARMS at http://kandrewdesigns.blogspot.com/. Wish me luck and conrats to whoever wins!!!!

Baby onsie

This is the onsie I got made for my nephew Jackson to wear today to support my mother in the Colon Cancer walk. The walk was held in Dallas at White Rock Lake. There was a record number of 700 people this year. Our team raised $800 and had a great time doing this even though it was chilly this morning. Everyone has been so kind and supportive. My mother is a fighter and everyone's prayers are helping us all get through this tough time. I am SO fortunate to have so many wonderful friends and family members. I got this iron on t-shirt vinyl in glitter navy blue at http://www.craftvinyl.com/. This is a first for me. Hope you enjoy!

Flying Witch Card and Cat Card

I can post these 2 cards now. The witch was for my friend Nicole and the cat was for my sister-in-law Mandy. I hope they are both enjoying them. These both were so fun to make and keep them hidden until I could get them mailed out. The Happy Hauntings cartridge makes me very happy.

Skeleton Card

A cute Skeleton card for my GREAT friend who gave me this really cute paper. Once again, the Happy Hauntings cartridge has been wonderful. Happy Boo to you all.

Halloween Cards 10.23.10

A few cards I got completed at my good friends house yesterday. The Happy Hauntings Cartridge has been my absolute favorite I think. The Mr. and Mrs. Frank N Stein is an anniversary card I made for my very good friends. I really need to get one more done and get them mailed out on Monday. It has been SO much fun making these cards this year. Hope everyone enjoys.

Gobble Gobble Card

Here is my Fall card. I just had to get something done. I am entering this one in Getting Cricky's Fall Blessing challenge. I think almost everyone has done a turkey. But they are just the cutest to do for Fall. I cut this turkey out of the Stretch your Imagination cartridge. I really didn't know what else to do with him but used some flowers for his feathers. He is definitely too cute to eat. Haha. Hope you enjoy.
