Lighthouse Cards

This cards are made with the same stamp sets. The compass & script writing are from Stampin' Up! "The Open Seas"---and the lighthouse is a wooden stamp that I'm thinking came from Michaels. These are both cards for males, and similar yet different. I like they way they both came out, I hope you do too!

I'll Drink to That!

This is for a good friend of mine, whose birthday is in October. (Yes, I'm a little ahead of schedule! :) ) This card was a lot of fun to make! I love the bright and vibrant colors. This card was created with the Provo Craft "Happy Birthday" embossing folder and the stamps are Fiskars "Girls Night Out" stamp set. Enjoy!

A Birthday Greeting

This card was really fun to make. I enjoyed coloring it all in. I used Flower Soft in the middle of the Daisey's, a glitter pen on the wording and the Daisey's. You can't quite see it from the picture but the butterflies and dragonflies are 3-Dimensional. I colored in the background with Sky Blue & Bamboo Leaves Memento Inks.
Hope you guys like it as much as I do! 

WILD Birthday

Yes! Yes! Another card is getting posted! With my new hobby room all shaped up and ready to use I have been spending A L-O-T of time in it. This is a card I made for a friend who absolutely loves giraffes. I used the Gina K. "Wild About You" Stamp set. I absolutely ADORE this stamp set. It's probably because I lived in South Africa for 8 years. The background was done with "Butterscotch" alcohol inks to imitate a giraffe pattern. I think it came out pretty good!

Under the Sea

This is another stamp that I had bought from Michaels a few years ago, and I had NEVER used it! That is until now. :) I used a variety of Bic Markers to color the shells in and then used sponge daubers to give the "sea" effect background. I used the Memento colors - Teal Zeal, Sky Blue, and a hint of Bahama Blue.

Trumpet Daffodil Birthday Card

This card was created with a stamp that I bought from Michaels - It's the Trumpet Daffodil Stamp. I thought it was just so pretty, and would make a great birthday card! I hope you all like it.

Berry Happy Birthday!

This was a simple yet fun card to make. The strawberry is cut from the "Hello Kitty" Cartridge & I added the rhinestones to it! The papers are all from my stash.

Under Construction!

For the past couple of weeks my hobby room has undergone some serious re-organization and expansion. I have enjoyed every minute of it! :) Here are some pictures of the final product. I must say that I'm pretty pleased with the way that it came out!

 My Corner of the hobby room - the hubby hung up the shelves for me.

 This embellishment center, and ribbon rack are something that my husband built for me. They came out GREAT!

 I didn't have to many "embellishments" until now  - it's a collection that is growing rapidly.

 My mother and I have been doing these sponge dauber boxes together, although they are slightly different it's the same concept.

My mom has had these Cuttlebug folders for a while, and I've recently joined her in this organizational fashion. They're a really neat thing, and with the tabs it makes it easy to find a folder.

Thanks for stopping by!
More cards are on the way :)

Adult Male Cards

I absolutely LOVE the way this card came out, however the design isn't my own. I used Lena Fonkert's design for this card. It's SLIGHTLY different but for the most part the same.

My Husband's Uncle is fascinated with Corvettes and has owned several of them! I thought this card would be perfect for him!

Western Cards

These cards I made for two different birthdays, one female one male. Both who are very into "Western" things. So I thought these would be fitting. The cut outs are from the Old West Cart. TFL!

Cards for Boys

These two cards below were both made with the Dude Cart. My friends son's birthday's are just around the corner. One will be 8 the other will be 10, and they are both very into the BMX, and skatingboarding type of sports. I really love the way these turned out, they are similar yet different. I tired to make them as "boyish" as possible. Thanks for looking!

My Newest Cards!

I realize that I haven't been on here in a little over a month! Things have been slightly hectic in my life right now, including a 1500 mile move across the country. My husband and I have relocated from California to the great state of Texas. :)

Below are some of my most recent cards. Enjoy and comment on what you like.
Thank you for stopping by!

This card was made for a family friend who just graduated high school. I used the Teen Scene Cart. for this card and I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out.

Like most boys - my nephew is obsessed with video games, so for his birthday I couldn't think of a better way to make his birthday card :)

This is a male birthday card.

I absolutely love this stamp! I got it from Hobby Lobby on clearance. It's just to adorable - I made an anniversary card out of it.

As I stated earlier in my post - the hubby and I just moved to Texas. So I made these cute cards with our new address to send to family and friends.

I actually was inspired for this card from my mother. Lena Fonkert.

This is from the Cricut Imagine Cart. Yummy. I thought it was cute and made an anniversary card out of these little characters.

These little baby onsies - I also got the idea from my mom, as well as the card below.

The three pictures above came from the Wild Card Cart.

Oh who wouldn't love to be sitting on a beach right about now? This card was for my sister in law.

Manly card.

Thanks for stopping by!! :)
