Tilda Birthday

 

 

Today I pulled out a Magnolia Tilda stamp.  I was thinking of this sparkley paper and something to go with it-so Tilda emerged.  I start thinking of what paper I have and design-usually when I'm trying to go to sleep and then have to try it in the morning.  Not much else gets done around the house-just my creating.

TRAVELLING

A birthday card for our Britton.  She just returned home (Holand Landing, Ontario) from Thailand and Taiwan for a few months before she takes off again-maybe Dubai or Japan.  Last year she was in South Korea.  She's on the go all the time.  Happy Birthday Britton!

TIME

Today I made a birthday card for a dear friend in October.  I wanted to experiment with some watch gears  I had and started to play around.  Used Cuttlebug folders gears and happy birthday.
Think it turned out quite nice.
Have a great weekend!  We're watching the Ohio State Football game on Saturday and the Browns on Sunday!

ANNIVERSARY

So here's the anniversary-

ANNIVERSARY

Had a fettish for butterflies.  Mo Manning's Wonderful Day and I changed the hummingbird to a butterfly,  Gatefold card is an anniversary card with butterflies.

BIG GUY GRILLING

Another Mo Manning design, although I changed the charcoal grill to a gas grill which my son uses when he grills here.  Also, note the unshaven beard which added a realistic touch to his birthday card!

Sherry, if you see this-don't show Tim!

September, 2012 Going Buggy Challenge

I have two entries for the September Going Buggy challenge (no red or green for Chritmas cards), so here's my effort.  The carolers are a Mo Manning design.  I used Cuttlebug folder Peace, Hope, Love as my base.  Dark blue paper underlined in gold.  The picture window has individually cut panes and gold on the back to simulate a soft light.  Flower Soft Polar White was used for the snow effect as well as the caroler's muff.  One of the most difficult I've done.  Hard to not use green and red.

The reindeer was cut out in gold-and again using the Cuttlebug Peace, Hope, Love template and the Sizzlex evergreen template. Very simple, yet elegant I think.

What a lovely, blessed day!  Quiet-relaxed and in harmony.  I made a card for Aunt Kathryn Bender's 95th birthday.  Seemed to take FOREVER!  95 candles, count them, 95!.  Used Cuddlebug birthday candles and cut each one out.  A labor of love. Also Polkadoodles tiered cake. Thanks for your comments.  Really appreciate them! Getting better at transferring from my camera to the blog.

Today I made a card for a friend, Natalie.  The next time we went to Sam's or COSCO, she wanted us to pick up some dry milk, but we were at Big Lots last night and found a packet that makes a quart, so this seemed like a good size for as much as she uses it.  Anyway, I made a card for this little gift.  Think it turned out quite well. Colored with ProMarkers.  Scraps of paper I don't know from where and Cuttlebug mailbox.  Cow design is from Mo Manning.

Made 2 anniversary cards for upcoming events.  Used a plastic disc and cut out hearts with QuiKutz die to make all the hearts.  The background paper I made with the computer, changing each font as I went.  Took quite a long time but the results were worth it. I would like to get a better photo of my cards, but can't get close enough with my camera.

Today, I have started to make a birthday card for our son-in-law, Steve  Running guy is a design by Mo Manning (a talented artist and designer) and shows Bo, the airdale running along side Steve.  Decked out in his Browns gear, Steve is a Canadian but a die-hard Browns fan.  Probably more passionate than some of the local Clevelanders!  Happy Birthday, Steve!

HOLIDAY

No card craft today, made some barbeque chicken, salad, sweet potato and strawberries, and we're going on a picnic!  Haven't done much, so this feels good!

Thank you so much and will really enjoy paging through this thoroughly.

This is a card made for our grandaughter, Kelly, for her 17th birthday on Monday, August 20th.  A special card for a very special young lady.  Sitting above her is Snickers the cat and at her side, Lily the dog. 

Now, I see my entry on twice! Have been trying to delete the first one and can't seem to do it! All comments welcome as I make my way through the process. Ever learning, always trying to try something new-cards wise or computer wise! Enjoy your day! Mine is kind of lost-slept late and it's already late in the afternoon. Supper and weight club (TOPS) tonight. Down almost 30#. Keeping my hands busy with my cards helps with the diet! Thanks for listening.

AUGUST CHALLGNGE ON GOING BUGGY

AUGUST, 2012 CHALLENGE GOING BUGGY Have been trying and trying to get my card on Going Buggy blog site. Somehow it's there, don't know how, because format isn't compatible. Suppose to be a jpg. or some type of picture file, mine is wps. My battery is low on camera, so am going to try again after it charges.

Going Buggy: New Challenge and win 92 Flexmarkers!

On my daily visit to Going Buggy, would dearly LOVE the new POLKADOODLES CD!  Have a lot of Nicky's art, but it costs an arm and a leg to get it in the US, so here's hoping I can WIN it!
Thank you for all your creative ideas.  You are my very favorite card maker!
For all that you are and all that you share.  Thank you.
