Last but not Least

Last but not least is The Greeting Farm’s Cheeky Nurse. 
I thought she would look cute on a pill box with a little prescription noted on the tag.

I tucked some M&M candy inside because chocolate always makes me feel better!

I don’t know why but I was very drawn to the pattern paper on the following card, maybe because the colors were so soft and subdued.  I decided to go with a very simple layout and I really liked the way it turned out.

OK, peeps, I'm out.  Hope you have a great day!

Cheeky Glamour

Today I am showing-off The Greeting Farm’s Cheeky Glamour Girl. I totally love her! 
I chose to color her in the classic bombshell style so I gave her platinum blond hair. You know, the Mae West, Marilyn Monroe style. I thought she looked great however, my daughter said she look like she had old gray hair!..................Oh well, what does she know, pfft!

Again, loving the tiny tags for the greeting.

Here she is again minus the platinum hair just in case anyone agrees with my daughter lol.  This time I added a Mae West quote to the card.  Maybe my first card may have worked better if I had added Mae West’s quote to it instead of this one???   Maybe I am just over thinking it!

The flower I used here was not really the shade of yellow I needed so I used my Copic Pens & Copic Air Brush system and airbrushed it the color I wanted.  I love my Copic airbrush mini compressor!

Hope you enjoyed my little glamour girls! I’ll be back tomorrow with Cheeky Nurse.

Have a great day!

Oh so Cheeky!

StampinEJ has some new stamps in the store from Inky Antics, Impression Obsession and the Greeting Farm. Here is what I picked up. I love the Cheeky Girls from TGF so I chose to work with them for this post. I just think they are the cutest!

I had just picked up the new October Afternoon Modern Homemaker 8 x8 paper pad and knew the Cheeky Cherry Pie baker would be just perfect for it!  I stamped her in black Memento Ink and went to work using my Copics.  I am so into using small tags for my sentiments right now. I typically tie it to what ever embellishment I am using.

I really like using the small tags because it’s easier to include a sentiment on the front of a card, especially when your image is somewhat large. It eliminates the hassle of trying to figure out where the heck to put the greeting!

Cheeky Cherry Pie looks cute on my new grocery list too!

That’s it for today, I will be back to post my Cheeky Glamour girl tomorrow!

Happy New Year

Well another year has come and gone, and this month is already at its end. I know I sound like a broken record when I say this but….. time passes so quickly.

I am looking forward to the New Year. I plan on spending less time at work and more time with my family. I feel like I live at work and I am so tired of it. Don’t misunderstand me, I am so thankful to have my job in a time when so many others can not find work. I just want to work a little less as I typically work much more than 40 hours a week.

I have a long list of things I want to do this year. I want to paint the interior of my home as well as re-decorate. I want to spend more time in my craft room. Go to more antique swap meets and of course spend a little time each day with my grandbabies, Sophie and Isaiah.

To start the New Year off I have been invited to be a designer on Stampin EJ’s Designer Team. I am excited about that! Stampin EJ is a rubber stamp store tucked inside of Debra’s Cottage, located in Costa Mesa, CA. If you live in the area stop by and see her. She carries a large selection of rubber stamp manufacturers, inks and embellishments. You won’t walk out empty handed! She  has an online store too.  http://www.thestamproprietor.com/

Here are a few cards I just made for Stampin EJ using a cute cupcake stamp by Impression Obsession.

    

It's difficult to see but I outlined the cupcake and baby duck in glitter. I also used this image as an Easter Card

                                    

Long time, no post!

It has been forever since I last posted to my blog, over a year to be exact. Life is so busy that I just don't get the chance to post. It seems the older I get the faster the time flies. Well......anyway.......a lot has happened in one year. My oldest daughter got married in "08" and had a baby in "09". I now have a granddaughter named Sophie who is every bit as beautiful as her mommy. 2010, Sophie had her first birthday. Her party theme was "on the farm". Her mommy did a great job of decorating and her cake was oh so cute! She also had a cute little outfit made special for Sophie's party.

 Here are pictures of the birthday girl!


OK, I could go on and on about Sophie but I will stop.......for now.:)  If you are reading my blog, hopefully it's because you liked one of my cards on Splitcoast and it led you here. If so, I'm so glad you stopped by! So, on to some cards. This card I made quite some time ago. I made it using digital scrapbook paper by Shabby Miss Jen, Summer Posies collection. It turned out so nice. The wonderful thing about digital paper is that I will never run out of my favorite designs! The stamp is Karen Lockhart. Love her stamp images.

Here is a close up.

This is a gate fold card with a handmade matching envelopes using the same digi paper.

This is a group of small cards with open end envelops and a stationary folder to hold them in.

It's Been a While!

Well, once again it has been a quite a while since my last post (July, gee ya think)! Since my last post, my oldest daughter got married. I promised to post some pictures but I have yet to sort them out! I haven't had much stamping time, as a matter of fact I purchased some really cute stamps from Pink Persimmon some time ago and finally got to use them. Their little Scottie Dog is do adorable, I think he will be inked up for quite a while! The "I woof you" was done on the computer. Here is my little collection.

Friends

Well, it has been quite some time since I've posted anything. Life has been pretty busy for me. My oldest daughter got married recently so between getting ready for her wedding, helping her to get moved in to her new apartment, work and the holiday, I have been running around like mad!

I will post some pictures of her wedding when I get them downloaded!

In the meantime, here are a few cards using Penny Black images I made just before things got crazy.

Here is a close-up of the small butterflies I punched out using a Martha Stewart punch. I glittered them up and scored them down the center so I could bend their wings up. I glued them down with SU glue dots so they stand up on the card.

Aren't these images just so sweet!
