some cards

Hey there Stampers!
Sorry I've been MIA.....oh, life!!!!What can I say? I did do 62 scrapbook pages for a friend of mine....but didn't take any pics, LOL!!! I was on a deadline to get them done, so they were plain and definitely not my best work...but had to get it done in 24 hours for a last minute gift!!! Talk about stress, hehehehe...but I did manage to throw those pages together in no time flat! HA!
Anyways, here are two cards that I've made recently....hope you like em', I got some ideas by visiting SCS, my fave place for inspiration!!! Well, have a blessed day;) thanks for poppin' in!!!

OWH Sketch #85

Hey Bleeps (blog peeps!)
Hope you had a Blessed weekend!! For today's card, I used the sketch over at Operation Write Home!

I did use a longer strip as well as added a layer and different shape other than the oval. This is a really simple card, which I do love simple....but feel I need to 'work' on my simple, LOL!! I love seeing other peeps cards on simple, but I never like mine!!! Oh, well.....we are our own worse critics huh?
Well, I hope you like it anyways!! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!;)

OK, I've been driving myself crazy with this DSP from SU! It's totally gorgeous.....the problem? It actually hurts to cut it up, LOL!!! It's too beautiful.....the good news? At least you get two each of every design;)

So, this is a pretty simple card....I just cut (YIKES!!!) the silhouette girl swinging to a 5 1/2 X 4 1/4....for a card front and just added a sentiment. I think I even let out a YELP as I made the cut, LOL!!! ;) This goes along with the Sweet Stampin' Challenge Blog, anything but birthday!!!
I hope you like it, thanks for stopping by!!! Have a wonderfully blessed weekend!!! ;)

Happy Saturday Bleeps (blog peeps!)
Today's card I made for a friend who lost her aunt. Seems like I've had to make too many of these types of cards lately. It's always hard, plus....what do you say when someone is hurting? It's so hard to comfort them. Well, all I can say is "I'm praying for you" and make a card for them. It seems so little, but I hope it does help in some small way.

On my card I kinda was inspired by the front cover of the new SU! IB&C! I love getting inspriation from all around you.....and what better inspiration is there other than Stampin' Up!
Hey, speaking of SU! did have you seen the NEW Holiday Mini Catty yet? Oh, my do they have some gorgeous products in it!!! Check it out here, just click the image below and it will open up!:

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed weekend!;)

Timeless Portrait

Hey there Bleeps (blog peeps!)
Today's project is for my twins' teacher....this year they got the same teacher, YAY, thank goodness......makes homework a little easier!!!!

 It's her birthday today, so they tell me this last night, LOL!!! So, I made her a quick card using this DSP from SU! IB&C that I totally love! I also made her a matching mini milk carton that holds Hershey's Kisses!

The only stamping was done on the tag......I cut out those larger silhouettes from the actual pattern on the paper! The silhouettes of the boy and girl reminds me of my sweet twins, so it was perfect for their teacher!!! I sure hope she likes it!!! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!;)
