My nephew got his drivers license!!! LOL I am sure he is a great driver, it's just fun to tease him!!! The Sports Car is from Limited Runs, the boy is Ian, from The Greeting Farm, and the sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp! I useda black card base and added strips of white mask tape for the lines on the "road".... the sentiment is embossed in silver.

Thanks for zoomin' in!!!! Have a great day!!

A few SIMPLE cards to share.......

I made this card quickly the other day...no real reason except to use this neat burlap flower paper from Prima that I bought when I was on holidays! I didn't want to cover it up but it was hard not to..... I don't really like this card but here it is anyway!!! The image is Rosalie, from CC Designs.




Another simple card, just because! The image is Amanda Panda, from Karen's Doodles. I had high hopes for this card but it didn't turn out how I wanted it to!! Ahhh well!!!! I think my mojo is going !!! UH OHHH!!!!




This is a Dustin Pike image, and a small 4x4 card. It is a simple, just because card. I like to tuck little cards in with things I mail to people as a little hello! Nothing fancy about this little guy either!!!!

AND, another VERY simple Z fold card with The Greeting Farm image....really, honestly, nothing fancy!!!!

Sorry if I totally bored you with these cards....they don't thrill me, so I don't expect them to thrill you either! LOL
Hope to have something with more substance tomorrow!!!!

The Corrosive Challenge Blog - FANCY FOLDS

This week the challenge at The Corrosive Challenges blog is to create something with FANCY FOLDS! Well, I love making cards with different folds and things so I went on a search of SCS for a technique I had yet to learn! I found this Spring Card there, and believe it or not, I had never tried it!! So, after a few cuts, and a few scores, this is what I came up with...what a fun little card!!!! And it fits into a regular A2 envelope!!! The image is from The Greeting Farm & the cardstock is Pacific Point (SU) . The DP is from a paper pack I got from Wal Mart ages ago. I coloured her with my Koh-i-noor pencils and Baby Oil Gel. I added some stickles and some rhinestones to give it some BLING BLING!!!!

Here is a side view of the card.

I hope you'll join us for this challenge, or at least head over to the blog to see what fancy folds the DT has created for you!!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog.....and for the comments....I appreciate them more than you know!!!! THANKS!!

More items for my Craft Sale.......

I found these HUGE clothespins at Dollar Tree in Great Falls last April when I was there. They only had 3 but now I wish I had gone to other stores to see if they had more! These will look really cute on someone's desk!!! Wish we had a Dollar Tree in Canada!! Booo hooo!!!!

And a few altered mini composition books:

I used some images that I had already coloured up, found matching DP & altered the notebooks. Very quick & very easy!!!! AND very functional! I just HOPE they sell!!!! Nov. 1 is coming quickly, I hope I have enough "stuff" to sell!!! EEEK!!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a GREAT week!!!

More wedding cards

These 2 cards are using the Greeting Farm wedding set. They are sooo cute!!!! The top one is purple and silver as that is the wedding colours. I embossed the sentiment and added purple and silver ribbon and a little silver heart charm. I added a touch of sparkle with my AT You Spica pens.



The second one is red and silver cuz I didn't know the wedding colours for that one!!!! These are both coloured with copics. The sentiment is inside this card.

Roses on Paper challenge card

Another challenge card I got to finish on the weekend is for Roses on Paper challenge blog! I haven't had the time lately to participate in challenges and I realized this weekend that I really miss that! I must find time to do challenges at least once a week!!! THAT is my goal!!!! The challenge this week is called ONE FOR THE BOYS! It had to be all boy - no flowers, no ribbon, no frills, no cute sayings (I hope my saying doesn't seem too cute!!!LOL) Anyways, here it is:




I used Skater Ian from The Greeting farm and DP from CTMH. I coloured Ian with Copics and used black brads for the skateboard wheels.
Thanks for popping by!!! Have a great night!!!

Money holder card

This is Ian, a Greeting Farm stamp in a set called Dress Me. He has lots of different outfits to wear and so does Anya (his sister, or girlfriend?!??!! I don't know the story of those two!!!) LOL Very cute though! The Aunts and Uncles are all giving my 15 year old nephew some money for his birthday, so I made a money holder card.

Whoa - sorry about the blurriness.....so strange!! I was trying out a new spot to take pictures this morning but it didn't seem to help! I blocked out the names on the card, just in case!!! The paper sticking out is supposed to represent $$$ cuz I didn't have any in my wallet!! LOL (thank God for Debit cards!!!)

I couldn't find a template for a card like this (I KNOW they are out there though!) so I had to concoct my own!!!! The dimensions for my card are 8.25 x 8, scored at 2.75, 3 and 6. I folded the one flap over and attached it with a small piece of Velcro. The DP is 7.75 x 2.25 and 7.75 x 2.5 (if desired - you could stamp right on the cardstock if you wanted!) That was it...very simple!!!

Have a great day!
