Here's a cute little Valentine I made up for my daughter, Dria. This is my attempt at doodling (have been influenced by my Design Diva friend, Chris). Obviously, I still need some practice but it was a lot of fun!
As a good friend recently reminded me:
Here's one for the Drunken Stamper's Blog Challenge: Valentine w/Metal, StampChallenges Blog: Love Somethings, Stampin for the Weekend: Valentine and Fussy and Fancy Friday Challenge: Hearts
In Rememberance of my brother during this season I added a special emellishment to our annual Christmas Card. I just created the ornament image w/clipart and wordart and printed it out. Glued one of Tim Holtz' ornament shaped fragments on top of image with Glossy Accents then cut out, added gold ribbon and attached to card. The ornament reads, "We Remember 2009".
Used my distress inks: Aged Mahogony and Pine Needles using Tim Holtz mini mask on tag. Also, used my new santa collage stamp w/Stazon Black inkpad; misted w/white perfect pearls mixed w/water for glistening effect; added the fibers as final touch
We are thankful for all those relationships our brother has nutured and maintained. We can feel the love he shared through you. We will be eternally grateful to you all.................
This goes out to some what of a philanthropist in Laguna Beach. She has helped memorialize my brother in numerous ways. From our family to yours............Thank You.
Used Making Memories paper on left side and Stampin Up! paper on the right; Spider Image was cut from vintage halloween paper by The Rusty Pickle.
On this one I used Black Magic Core'dinations Paper run thru the Cuttlebug using the Spiderweb Texture plate by Fiskars then sanded to reveal the purple core of the paper; Added a Martha Stewart spider sticker and used Stampin' Up glitter to color it; The Oct 31st stamped image was cut out using deckle edge scissors then inked w/ Concord distress ink.
Okay, so it's been awhile---I apologize (especially to my faithful followers!). I actually made a few cards on World Card Making Day. Here are a couple: 
This card is for the following 3 Challenge Blogs:
Here is my tool/supply list:
First, I inked up a panel of glossy cs w/Butterscotch alcohol ink. Then, I made a gatefold card out of white cs; I cut stripes of the textured yellow cs, the white cs, the yellow cs, the Core'dinations Mustard cs and the inked glossy cs. I embossed the yellow and white cs w/Swiss Dot ef. The white stripe I inked over w/Mustard Seed distress ink. I embossed the Core'dinations cs w/Circle and Dots ef and sanded it do reveal the core. On the left side of the card I created a mosaic with triangles cut from these five stripes. On the right side of card I centered a panel of the inked glossy cs and layered it over with acetate that I hand printed out on my printer and heat embossed w/clear embossing powder to set the ink. I added triangles above and below this panel. I stamped the sun image on white cs w/Mustard Seed Distress ink; cut it in half diagonally to make two triangles. It is difficult to see but I cut triangles out of acetate and embossed them w/the Bubbles ef; then colored them with Butterscotch alcohol ink; then layered them on the two previous triangles of stamped image then added the sun charm; layered this on the Core'dinations square and sanded edges; layered again on white cs that was inked with the Mustard seed; adhered to left side of gatefold card. On the inside, I embossed the center and right panels. Added the ribbon to the right panel. I hope I remembered everything.
