Life is Good!

This was fun to create.  I was inspired by so many cards I see on Pinterest.  Yes, I am a Pinterest addict, and I'm not ready to begin therapy, thank you!  I used the Roxie paper set from Close To My Heart.  The flower, leaves, and the scallop are all from the Cricut cartridge Art Philosophy.  I'm completely hooked on that cartridge.  Before this, I rarely used my Cricut.  Being a card maker, primarily, I just haven't incorporated cut-outs much, until now!  If you're interested in one of these cartridges, let me know! I'm sure we can work out a deal!!!

This is a workshop card, and I can't wait to share it with the participants!  Enjoy, and as always, I appreciate you taking the time to stop by!  Happy Monday!

Still Alive - No excuses

Been working on several workshops and making lots of cards.  That's about it. No excuses. This blog has been neglected!  My apologies for the quality of the picture.  I swore I wouldn't post another until I got a light cube.  No cube yet...but here's a recent card using the Cricut Cartridge - Art Philosophy from Close To My Heart. 

The colors, which are really hard to tell here, are Close To My Heart, Pear and Black. The paper is one that is no longer available.  Thanks for looking!

You've Got To See This at Scrappin' Becky B's!

Scrappin' Becky B, one of the ladies who does work that I LOVE, posted a project that I just HAVE to share...you really need to see her wonderful tutorial on these Stamped Tile Coasters.  While you're there...spend a few minutes looking at her other work, and you can decide what you're cooking for dinner while you're there (she shares recipes, too)!

You can get to Becky's page HERE.

Hope you enjoy her tutorial as much as I did!  If you do, please leave her a comment!  Then, I'd love to hear from you to know if you enjoyed the link!  Thanks for stopping by!

A quick card using stickers!

This card was very easy thanks to the beautiful Close To My Heart Paper.  I only used one sheet the full size of the card, placed a matching sticker across making it look like two different papers, then added the flower sticker and tag.  Done in a couple of minutes!  The paper is retired stock I'm trying to use up. But, so many papers can be used this way.  Love the matching stickers (My Stickease) from Close To My Heart.
Thanks for looking!

So many cards, so few postings...and a prayer request.

Hi!  I've been a very poor blogger -- but, I have been making cards like crazy.  That's the good news.  The reason for so many cards is, well, not so good.  My friend was brutally attacked on her way to work on Dec. 27th.  She is at home dealing with the physical and emotional healing that needs to take place.  I could have posted the pictures without any story behind them, but I thought I'd ask you a favor while you're here.  Would you please keep Lisa in your thoughts and prayers?  She's an extremely strong woman, obvious by the fact that she survived!  Extra prayers will only help her on her long road to recovery.

This card is going out today.  I'll post some others over the next week.  My photography isn't getting better, my excuse this time is that I almost forgot to photgraph her cards before mailing them out!

All products are "vintage" Close To My Heart, with the exception of the dragonfly charm.
