More Wooden Letters

Hello people.  Having a good day, I hope? 

I recently made these wooden letters for a cousin's baby and thought I would show you.

I'm quite pleased with how they turned out:

 

Oh dear, the picture looks a little blurry here.  It's hard to see the details, but the N has a stamped image of an airplane and some buttons and twine; the C has his birthdate stamped on a banner; the O has a kite flying off it; the L has "look out world" stamped on it;  the A has a button; and the S has some more twine to finish it off!  Stamps and ink are from CTMH of course:)

New Idea Book Artwork

Hi Friends!  I though I would share some new artwork with you today.  It's going to be a shower gift for a shower I'm going to tomorrow, so it should be safe to share it today:)

I'm so happy with the way it turned out, I just want to make some more!  I got the idea from the new CTMH catalogue and adapted it to fit an 8x10 frame.  I spray painted the frame white and gently sanded some of the edges.   The stamps, ink and embellishments are from Close to my Heart. 
 I sure hope the new mommy likes it:)

Thanks for looking, hope you have a great day!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year

 

to you all

Baby card set

 

 

Hello Everyone!  It's been a long time (again). 

 

I picked up a box of the cutest chipboard pieces at Winners yesterday and I couldn't wait to make some cards with them.  Inspiration for the card designs comes from a variety of places, but I especially love Teresa Kline's cards.  She does beautiful work:)

 

 

 

 

The paper I used is from 3 different paper packs, including Baby Cakes from CTMH.

 

Thanks for looking:)

New Idea Book- New Artwork!

Hello, there.  I've got a couple of cards to share with you today!  I know it's been so long, you probably don't remember I even have a blog.  Now that summer's over, maybe I can get going on here again.

Since it's September, we have a new catalogue out that's filled with tons of great new artwork and lots of exciting new products!

Here are two cards made with the Laughing Lola paper pack:

These cards are made using Mojo Monday's Sketch#312: 

I also used:

Cardstock: black, white

Stamps: Frame Flair, Card Chatter-Birthday, and an old birthday set.

Ink: Gypsy, Black

Embellishments: Bitty Sparkles, Zipper Lace, flowers, feather, and lace from my stash.

Finally! I can post again!

Hello, Everyone!  It's so good to be back!

I have been having so much trouble trying to post on this blog.  Every time I would sign in, it just gave me a blank screen when I went to type a new post.

Tonight I had a brainwave (it didn't hurt a bit) to try a different way and went through Google Chrome instead of Internet Explorer, and what do you know, it works!!!

So, I can finally post again!  I have so much catching up to do I don't even know where to start:)

I think I'll start with the most recent cards I've made:

My son loves green and he loves soccer, so I combined his love into cards for his teacher and his soccer coach.  The soccer ball is from the Game On set from CTMH.  I don't even know where the paper and twine came from- it wasn't mine:)

Thanks for looking and I'm so happy to be back.

By the way, I just wanted to let you know that Close to my Heart is retiring all the E-size stamps sets in the catalogue.  They'll not be available after July anymore.  

So, once again, it's been awhile since I've posted.  I'm sorry.  And, on top of that I seem to like sharing with you paper that's been retired!

I don't know what's going on with me!  Oh-yeah- I do...I like to hoard my new paper until it's retired and then I haul it out and use it!  Not good for sales, but there you have it.

I have two cards to share with you today.  They both use the Cruisin' Paper Pack (which is retired, of course).

These also use burlap string and jute from I don't know where and Round Durable Studs and buttons from CTMH.

I also have a couple more which I may have already shared with you, but here you go:

Same retired paper pack again, twine, stamps and cardboard pieces from CTMH, random jute and button.

Thanks for looking:)
