Welcome 2014!

Hello!!  Happy New Year to everyone.  Hope it is safe and that you have a wonderful New Year filled with God's blessings!  It is time for another challenge over at BBTB2 and the theme is to create a New Year's project.  I have to say this was a challenge for me and I had to think a long time on this.  This wreath is the only thing that I could come up with.  These rosettes took me a long time and I was glad to get it finished!!   It took me over two weeks to get it done.  We are having a linky party!!   Come and check it out!!  tfl.

Just Because

I hope everyone had a wonderful  and safe Christmas.  My Christmas was blessed with family and all the blessings God has given us over the last year.  It is so awesome to see Christmas through the eyes of a child and to see their joy!  On to the Card: this card was made using the Imagine cartridge: Lori's Garden and Creative Cards.  tfl.

Merry Christmas, Tag you're it, take two!

 

Hello, I can't believe that Christmas is this week.  One more fun challenge before the holidays start, over at BBTB2.  Please come join us.  I am sure you can use another tag to put on top of those packages.  I made this quick and easy using my Imagine and the Snow Angel Cartridge.  I hope everyone is doing well, I sure do hope I am done with this horrible virus before Christmas.  It sure is slowing me down.  I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Christmas.   tfl.

This is one of a group of cards made for a friend of mine for her mil.  This cute image came from the Silhouette Online store.  This is a very simple card.  tfl.  We just got back from checking on our camper that was just feet from the tornado that hit at Diamond Illinois.  Glad to see that our camper was fine.  There was alot of tree damage along the road that leads to the camper and of course the damage at Diamond.  Lots to be thankful for.

Harvest

I was so excited after making this card.  I figured out how to do the wording with the offset, without cutting out the letters.  I have been wanting to do this for a long time.  I hope I can remember how to do it again, lol.  The little scare-girl is from the silhouette online store as well  as the sentiment and leaf frame.  I used the art philosophy cartridge for making the leaves.  tfl.

You are the best! --Boss's Day Card

My boss loves to scuba dive in exotic places and has seen a lot of different fishes, etc.  I found this fish from the silhouette online store as well as the seaweed and banner.  The bubbles were made with crystal laquer and the "sand" embossed with my cuttlebug.  I had such fun making this card.  Hope she likes it.  tfl.

Purrrfect!

 

We have a fun challenge over at BBTB2 this week.  Our challenge is to use a dog or cat from any cartridge with any theme.  Shelly is our talented design leader this week.  I made my own version of a Mojo Monday sketch.  This kitty cat is from the Four Legged Friends cartridge.  I thought this kitty cat looked like he had an attitude.  I know mine does at times, lol.  Come join the fun!!!  We are to pick cat or dog, which is our favorite?  I couldn't possibly pick.  They are special in totally different ways.  I am a little closer to my dog Sadie, because she is always curled up next to me.  Cats are a little more aloof.

 

Thinking of you

 

The sun is coming out and it is going to be a beautiful day.  This is a sympathy card for a dear friend of mine whose father just passed away.  You probably recognize this paper from my granddaughters birth announcement.  I ordered too much of the paper.  You will probably see it again, lol.  This image is from the Silhouette Online Store.  I made extra cuts of the flowers to layer them, and used Flower Shoppe to make the center of the pink flower.  Hope you have a blessed day.  tfl.

You're Bewitching!

 

I saw this idea on a My Craft Spot post.  I loved this idea so much that I had to try it.  I got my images from the Silhouette Online Store.  This little witch is so cute.  Gwen made this cute cauldron with the bubbles that lift out for the card.  Take a look here:  Gwen.  Isn't her project just the cutest.  I just had to scraplift it.  A friend at work is giving this to her grand daughter.  tfl

True Joy!!!

My little doggie, Sadie loves babies.  This is true joy for me, holding a sleeping granddaughter, Kaylee.  She is just the sweetest and the doggie too!!  Lol.

Eeek!

 

 

This was such a fun card to make.   I loved the eyeball paper and this cut was just too perfect for it.  This cut came from the Silhouette Online Store.  The eyeballs, I put a lot of crystal laquer to make it look like an eyeball.  I was playing around with the Cameo software and created Eeek!  by welding and using the software colors.  This was printed on my printer.  I have tried to play whenever I get a free moment, which hasn't been very often lately.  After we finished our roof, our neighbor asked us to put a roof on for him.  That is the end of MY roofing career!!!  No more roofing for me!!!   In the middle of that, my husband had some health issues with his heart that put him in the hospital for a day.  We are both exhausted and can't wait to slow down.  tfl.

 

Back to School!

Hello, this is a project for our challenge over at BBTB2.  Our challenge is to make a project with a French fry box or 3D box.  Susan is our team leader this week, so please come over and take a look at the fabulous ideas from my fellow design sisters.  I decided to use the French fry box from TBBM2.  The pencil and title came from the Simply Charmed cartridge.  I am going to use this for a treat box for my grandson.  tfl.

Have a BEARY happy day!

I had such fun with this card.  Our next challenge over at BBTB2 is a water theme.  I am sure school is starting soon and so this feels like the end of summer.  We need one more summer fling with water and getting wet.  Michelle is our wonderful design leader of this week.  I wanted to use my Teddy Bear Parade cartridge and just love this little bear.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the card base.  Come join the fun.  tfl.

Life's a Beach!?

This is a simple card using my Silhouette Cameo and an image from the online store.  I love this little girl with her sand pail.  My husband and I have been on vacation and working on putting a roof on our house.  I told him I needed a break from the roof, today.  After all how many old ladies do you see on top of a roof, lol.  I really do need a vacation from my vacation!!  I made this card a while ago, but don't have any other cards to post right now.  Now I have to go back to work on Monday, booo.   tfl.
