Another Thinking of You Card

All my friends seem to be going through something difficult right now whether it be surgery or something else. I had to make another thinking of you card today. This card I used the For Father SU Stamp. It just seemed liked the perfect image for the occassion. I also used the Fiskars Corner punch, sorry don't remember the name of it but it's one of those 4 in 1 punches (if you need to know I can get the name for you just let me know). The mats for the image were made on the cricut using the George Cartridge. It's hard to tell from the photo but I chalked the edges of the image.

Get Well / Thinking of You

My friend is having Knee surgery on Monday. I made her this get well card. The card sketch is from SCS SC217. The paper is from the DCWV Spring Paper Stack and DCWV Spring Cardstock paper.

I made this card for another card for a friend who is going through a difficult time right now. I made her this Thinking of You card. The paper from the DCWV Spring Paper Pack and DCWV Spring Cardstock Paper Pack. The scallop was cut out using the Storybook Cricut Cartridge. The image is from Lelo Flower Dragon.

Birthday Cards

Sorry I haven't been blogging but I have been dealing with personal issues and a horrible cold that I still have. I treated to myself to some new stamps.

I love these Dragons. They are from a stamp company called Lelo. They are so adorable. Paper is from Creating Keepsakes Confetti and Daisies.

Paper is from DCWV Sweets paper stack. And the image is from Stampendous Tiers of Treats. If you click on the photo to enlarge it you will see that some of the cupcakes have fluff on them to make them looking like frosting.






















Paper is from DCWV Sweets paper pack. The cupcake image I received from WRAK on SCS. The oval was made using the cricut George Cartridge. The Happy Birthday was embossed using the cuttlebug and Happy Birthday embossing folder. It's hard to see but I used stickles on the cupcake. The image was colored in with SU Markers.













The next two cards use the Lelo Birthday Dragon stamp. I made one card for a boy and the other for a girl. The girl card is my favorite though. The saying Make A Wish was done on the computer using the Aladdin font.

Photo Tag

I was tagged by the talented Melanie and Kimmy. This is a fun tag!

Here are the instructions:

1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.

2. Go to the 6th Folder, then pick the 6th picture in that folder.

3. Post that picture on your blog and the story that goes along with the picture.

4. Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.

This is my friend Jay. I met him through my sister Kayla, who is friends with his younger sister Carrie (they go to school together). Jay and I first started talking because I have a laptop that I was hoping he could fix but it's a problem with the mother board. Our friendship kind of went from there. Jay has a problem where he feels that he must tell me "everything" and I can't stress enough everything. Sometimes I have to question why are you telling me this. LOL!

I have to tag 6 people. Everyone I know has been tagged so I am going to tag 2 people (they probably won't play along anyways but we'll give it a try).

Thinking of You Elephant

My friend has a fascination with elephants so I made this card. I like the layout of this card, I saw the layout somewhere (I believe possibly on SCS I will try to find it). This is another stamp that I have had for awhile but never used (SU Wild for you).

*Today I made a drastic change with my hair style if you want to see check out my photo blog here***

Cards

This is a little Valentine card. I had this Suzy Zoo stamp for awhile and I have neglected it. The cardstock was ran through the cuttlebug using the hearts embossing folder. I love embossing with the cuttlebug.

I made this card for the Stamps, Scraps n More challenge - to make a Riley card. I received this Riley image from SCS WishRak.
