Just Because - Male Card

 I haven't made a card in a very long time...boy did it feel good to be crafting again! I made this card today using Noble Deer Stampin UP stamp set.  Had this stamp for years and never really used it.  I was going to color the image but decided to leave it plain.   The mat for the deer was cut out using cricut george cartridge and the inside was done with cricut storybook cartridge.

Sea Watch Resort - Myrtle Beach March 2011

 It is a rainy day here in Upstate New York, actually it's been raining for days so I decided to scrapbook.  This is from my trip to Myrtle Beach in March of this year.  We stayed at the Sea Watch Resort (gorgeous resort). The title is actually from a brochure from the resort that I scanned and reprinted.  The Light house Die cut is from my sweet friend Lestina.  All paper used is Brazzill Basics Paper (blind date and string of pearls) The stickers on page 2 of the layout are cardstock stickers from Paper House Beach line.   Remember you can always click on the picture to enlarge it to see more detail.

Used to get so mad when I was little my uncle percy used to come over when I was sleeping and eat my candy corn I would be so mad the next morning. He did it just to aggervate me.

Halloween Cards 2010 - Spook*tacular Pt1

I have missed all my blogging friends. Hope everyone is well. Tonight I decided to pull the crafts and make several halloween cards. This card uses K&Co Spook Tacular pattern paper, K&CO Cardstock diecut, and martha stewart drippy doo punch (received the punches from a swap awhile back), and plain black cardstock. It's hard to tell in the picture put the skeleton is glittered.

(Scroll down a little for another card)

For the next two cards I couldn't decide if I liked the green or purple scallop so I made both :) All paper is from K&CO spook*tacular paper pack and the cute little witch is from K&CO cardstock diecut set.

K&Co is my fave scrapbooking company.

This card using the "Boat Loads of Love" SU set. I love the colors of this. It's hard to tell from the pic but the boat and heart are pop dotted.










I made him this card in honor of 9/11. Cause on 9/11 . The image I got off line.

Male birthday Card

This is another card using the SU Cheers Stamp set. I always have a problem coming up with male birthday cards. Female cards are so easy you can do all the bling and frills. LOL! Thanks for looking. I will have another birthday card to share in a few days.

Summer Time Fun Cards

The first two cards use the SU Cheers Stamp set. All pattern paper is from DCWV 2009 Summer paper pack. The last card is a stamp from CC Designs Summer Fun stamp set. Love that little Monkey.

So glad to be back into crafting again.

Lucky In....Love Card

I made this for fun. I got the idea from PaperCrafts January Issue (with my own twist of course). I got a deck of cards at the dollar store and everything else came from my stash. The word "Lucky" is stickers that I got at the dollar store when they had a nice assortment of scrapbooking items. And the hearts are rubons. I think it's cute.

Stevey & Dutchess

I have missed all my blogging friends. I hope to get back into the swing of things again. Life is slowly getting back to normal. Made these pages for my friend Stevey, just wanted to get back into scrapbooking again.

For these two pages I used the DCWV Dog Paper Kit purchased at Michaels. Cute kit but wasn't worth the money. The first layout is my fave out of the two of them.
