Lady bug - Baby Shower card

We're having a baby shower at work tomorrow & here is the card I made for it! I had no good ideas to make a card with...so I looked on their baby registry to see how they were decorating their little girls room.

Here is my card:I used doodlecharms for the lady bug. Fiskars texture to make the background have spots (I know you can't tell by the photo)

Here is a picture from the registry:

Thanksgiving Cards

I bought this beautiful paper pack for Thanksgiving from Me & My Big Ideas. I absolutely love it. I only made 3 Thanksgiving cards so far, but plan to make more, especially since I just found some $1 Thanksgiving ribbon at Target :)


This one is the turkey from Doodlecharms, but the background is what I'm proud of :)
I used a Thanksgiving stamp set from Ms and watermarked it. But the actual paper is recycled from an Eddie Bauer bag! How cool?

I thought this leaf stamp was so beautiful! I might be using it for more Thanksgiving cards!

Christmas Cards

I've made more Christmas cards for a swap..here they are!

This first set, I made after seeing one of the videos from the Pink Stamper (see video here)
I used the floral fantasy embossing folder & inked the bottom half with white ink.
Ribbon from my stash across the middle.
The flower is from Joys of the Season.
I made a small stencil with the flower cut & used it with glimmer mist & made a small shimmery flower as a 'shadow'
I love that technique!

The trees here are from doodlecharms!

BOAB2 - Summer watermelon

Again, made this for the BOAB2. I love all the colors together, although it was hard to match them! haha
I even put glossy accents on the seeds to make them shine!

BBTB Doodlecharms Border Challenge

Okay - I agree that I am a little out of season, but I wanted to do something I thought no one else would do! The challenge for this week at BBTB is to use any cut from Doodlecharms, as long as it we used the border feature!

I chose this adorable spider so that I could do a Halloween card!

The spiderweb is printed onto my cardstock, then I used stickles (frosted lace) to highlight some of the webbing.
The spiders are pop-dotted and also have webs they "dangle" from -- which is fishing line!
"Happy Halloween" is from Wild Cards

The sentiment is a Scottish saying

Hope you enjoy it! Go check the other creations! Plus, you get to take part in the Bug blog hop!

BBTB - Doodlecharms Bunny Challenge

Here's my take on this weeks BBTB challenge: we were to use the bunny from doodlecharms.

The bunny & square pop-dotted.

Cuttlebug border emboss
Ribbon from stash

Loads of fun!

Diaper Cake cuts

My mom is starting a company to make diaper cakes. Here is the preliminary website: www.diapercakelane.com which will be up & running soon. She asked me to make some cuts for a jungle theme cake. Then, I decided to do some other cuts to show her what I can make. Yay!
Zooballoo for the first set, DC for the 2nd & Wedding for the cross.

Hippity Hop!

Another card for Grandmama!
Bunny is from PDDU
Basket & Eggs: Doodlecharms
Grass: Pooh
Photo corners: Jasmine

I chalked the bunny to add dimension to his cheeks, nose, hands & ears. I pop-dotted his head so he'd stick out! And I curled his ears down.

I found all the stamps in the $1 bin at Michaels! Colorbox in Chianti.

I am so excited! This is my first time to do 2-tone stamps! These were both at Ms! The flower is colorbox-chalk inks. The Lamb is black.

Boy Birthday Waterfall

Another waterfall birthday card. Love the video on YouTube for this! I got so excited I had to make a few! Leaves & Acorns from Doodlecharms Stamp is a cheapie at Michaels, ink Colorbox Chianti

Fishing you a happy birthday

I scrap-lifted this...
