Hero Art's ~ Card for Kids...???

I started out making this card for the Hero Arts ~ Card for Kids Challenge...Not sure if this would be a good card for a child...but I think it turned out awesome!!...here's my card!

This card took me a while...I knew what I wanted to do...in my head...LOL...but it just wasn't coming together like I wanted it!!...So I had to change the design in my head!!...This is a "Tunnel" card...I'm pretty sure I found the tutorial on Splitcoaststampers...

Okay...So I wasn't sure what I was going to put on the front of the card...I didn't like the fold lines showing...I think I wrote the instructions down wrong...The first one I made I totally messed up and had to start over...my inside panel ended up being bigger than the outside...I knew that couldn't be right...so I started over...I ended up using Black Magic Core'dinations cardstock...I ran it through the paisley cuttlebug embossing folder and then sanded the top off to reveal the pink color underneath the black!!...I think it turned out very pretty!!

I then used two little strips of scraps from the inside and ran them through the "With Love" border cuttlebug folder...and I used another little piece of scrap to stamp the sentiment on...the sentiment is from the Close to My Heart, Celebrate Life set...I matted that on a piece of Core'dinations also...The little girl is from the Hero Arts set Sweet Wonderful You {CL881}...I paper pieced her using paper from the sei Poppy collection...the panel that the little girl is mounted on is a piece of Core'dinations flipped over so that the pink is showing...I used a Spellbinders scalloped rectangle for the panel...I had a scrap and it just fit into the rectangle width-wise...it was too long and that's how I got the scallop on the bottom!...I tied a piece of twine around the panel to finish off the front!

Here is the inside of the card: 

I used a metallic cover for the inside...and a spellbinders oval to cut the center out...I used another little girl image from the same Hero Arts set...I paper pieced her using paper from the sei Happy Day collection...both of the girls hair is from the Basic Grey Curio Collection...I rounded the corners of the red cover sheet and added ribbon and black gems from my stash...I used twine to attach the little girl to the opening to make her look like she was "standing" in the opening.

What do you think??...would it make a nice card for a child??...I think maybe its the colors that make me wonder...I usually use happier, brighter colors for a child's card.....

Have a Great Day!!

   

CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGES

This is another card I made for the CDAC Progressive Card Challenge http://priscillastyles.ning.com/:

Coloring this beautiful cup and saucer from Sandi Samples stamps scared me a little...I'm not going to lie!!...LOL!!

I don't have a lot of experience coloring with Copics...and I wanted to do this stamp justice!!...I think it turned out okay....still need to practice...and I need to get more colors closer together...It's hard to shade when you only have one light color and one darker of the same color group!!...but I always say you can never too many crafting supplies...gives me more reasons to shop!!

I digress...LOL!!...Now onto the card...I printed the image out on Gina K Designs cardstock...as I mentioned above, I colored the image with Copics...the card base is GKD cardstock...The white panel on top of the cardstock is an invitation left over from my DS high school graduation...it has a pretty pearl-like boarder around it...I then layered a piece of black GKD cardstock with a piece of Bazzill bling purple on the black...I tied a piece of purple/green plaid ribbon around the panels with a knot to the left of the image...the sentiment is from a Cardmaker's Kit club...I layer that up the same way I layer the image...I took a black Bic Marker and went around the image to cover up any mistakes I made when i cut out the image!!...I rounded the corners of the black and purple panels...and added some pearls to the top right and lower left corners!

Have a Great day!!

Clearly Inspired Challenge #33 (CIC33)

I made this card for the Clearly Inspired Challenge for Clear Dollar Stamps...the challenge is "Things with Wings"...here is the card I made...

I cased a card that Tami Mayberry did for CardMaker Magazine, the  September, 2011 issue...most of the paper that I used for this card were scraps!...the pattern paper behind the butterfly panel is from The Paper Studio...the card base is Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Cardstock...I used the Threading Water border punch on all the different colors...all of the paper edges were inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink...the butterflies were stamped on GKD cardstock with Tuxedo Black Momentos ink and colored with Copics...I added some Stickles to the bodies and antennas...and I used a glitter pen on the swirlys on the butterflies...the sentiment is from Hot Off The Press...and to finish it off I added three pink pearls to the top right corner.

I made this card for my Aunt for her B-day!...I really like how this one turned out!!

Have a Great Day!!

Art Journal - Week #3

This is week three for my Art Journal for the Greeting Farm...this week is "Gratitude"...this is what I came up with:

I used a background stamp and two colors of Tsukineko Opalite ink...I stamped the entire page and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder...it doesn't show up very well in the pic...but it has a really pretty shimmer...I used Pebbles Pearlescent chalks on the butterflies from the background stamp... I had some metallic purple cover that I used my Nesties on that the letters are attached to...the letters are from Making Memories Just Chillin' collection...some of the flowers are Prima's...some are from Kit clubs...the ribbon is from some blog candy that I won...the brads are from my stash...

A the second page:

I stamped the second page with a different background stamp with the same ink...I used Prismacolor watercolor and metallic pencils to color the background...the memo card is from Zany Zinnias kit...the flowers and brads are various ones from my stash...along with the ribbon...

Have a Great Day!!

CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGES

Here is a card I made for the CDAC Challenge...The digital stamp I used is from Anne's Digital Art ...she is just too cute!!...I colored the image with colored pencils...

After I had the image colored and was selecting papers for the card...the commercial "Calgon, take me away" kept running through my head!!...I thought about putting "Some days there just isn't enough Calgon in the world!...but I decided to go with "Relax" on the front and "It's your day, Celebrate" on the inside!

For the card I used Gina K Designs Kraft cardstock for the base...the PP is from K & Company's Berry Sweet...the letters are E.K. Success...I used Nesties to cut out the scalloped circles and a Martha Stewart border punch for the bottom...I put Glossy Accents on the water around the little girl and I put some Stickles around the edge of the white paper that the stamp is printed on and  on the little butterfly...the bling is from TPC Studio's Happy Birthday...the ribbon and pearls are from my stash.

You can go to http://priscillastyles.ning.com to read about the challenge and to join in on the fun!!...the digital stamps are awesome...thank you to the artists for supplying the stamps!!  

 Have a Great Night!!

Hero Art's ~ Card for Kids

I made a card for another challenge...go me...LOL...my second challenge!!


Here's my card:

The balloon stamp and the border around the balloons are Hero Art Stamps...I colored the balloons with Copics...the Birthday Boy stamp is from the CardMaker's Kit Club...I used Spellbinders Labels 10 on the Lime Green cardstock, also Gina K Designs...the card base is Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Cardstock...the Blue cardstock is Bazzill Bling and the PP is SEI Happy Day...I used three different colors of wire for the balloon strings...the buttons and bling are from my stash...all edges of the papers were inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink...I think that's it!!

I think that's all for today...have a great night!!

Art Journal - Week #2

This week we had to do a two page layout with a "Sand, Sun & Beach" theme...this has been a bit of struggle for me...I have no former schooling or anything for art...so I am just kind of winging it!!...I have looked at some of the other journals and I feel like mine was done by a small child compared to some of the others...there are some very talented people out there in blog land!!...you should pop on over to the Greeting Farm and check out some the beautiful projects!!

So here is the left page of my layout:

I colored the background with watercolor paints...I then sprinkled two colors of embossing powders on the pages and heat set it....I had to start with the heat tool about a foot away from the paper and slowly move it closer so I didn't blow all of the powder of the paper!!...I stamped the umbrella three times on different papers and cut them out...I used fun foam to pop up the different layers...I cut a piece of a swiffer sheet to use as the towel...I didn't have anything else to use!...the chair was originally red and white...so I took it apart and used the same papers that I used for the umbrella!!...I stamped the word "relax"...colored with a Bic marker and covered it with Glossy Accents...

I bought the fence at Wal-Mart awhile ago...I knew I wanted to use it for something....I just didn't know what!!...LOL....I watered down some white paint and white-washed the fence...I stamped some sprigs on white cardstock and cut them out...I adhered them to the fence...added some little flowers with brads....I had some seashell stickers that I added a little smooch ink and some Stickles...the little birds at the top where charms...I cut the little hole off and added some pop dots to the back!!

And a close-up of the fence:

Have a great day!!

Crafty Steals ~ Christmas in July

I created this card for the Crafty Steals ~ Christmas in July sketch challenge.

I don't know the brand of the stamp set I used...I got it a Wal-Mart a few years ago...I had fun with this challenge!!

Hope you like it!!...have a great day!!

Art Journal - Splendid Stamping with The Greeting Farm

I decided to participate in this project to get me out of my comfort zone...I have never really done anything like this so I thought I would give it a try...don't laugh...LOL!!

Here is the cover of my art journal:

This is the page one:

I didn't have a lot of time to get the first page done and get it uploaded in time, but I like it!...I didn't have time to sit and obsess over it...I think it could use a little something more...but I am not going to mess with it!!

Have a great day!!

Clearly iStamp ~ Clearly Inspired Challenge #32

Clearly iStamp ~ Clearly Inspired Challenge #32 


I did it!!...my first card challenge!!...click on the link above for details about the challenge!


Here is the front of my card:

and the inside:

It took my a little bit to wrap my head around the color combo, but once I figured out the sizes of cardstock I was going to use for each color, it came together pretty easily!!

I actually had a lot of fun creating this one!...I use three different stamp sets from three different companies!...I love mixing and matching different companies together to see what I can come up with!

The heart stamps on the front are from Clearly iStamp, the grass, flower stems and background are from Gina K Designs, and the sentiment is from CardMakers monthly kit. 

Have a great day!

Kelly

I am still here...LOL!

I can't believe I haven't posted anything in a year!!...I have been busy with different projects...just haven't posted any...

I just wanted to stop in and say hi...and that I am still here...I will be posting some of my projects in the next couple of days.

Have a great night!!

Kelly

HI!

Wow, its been along time since I have posted anything! We bought a house and moved, AGAIN!

Twice in one year is more than enough for me!

I have been getting my "Crap Room" set up the way I want, still a way to go before I have it like I want!

I have worked on several projects, but I forgot to take pictures of some of them. I did bling up my ATC gun. I got tired of looking at the drab yellow color so I decided to paint it and add some rub-ons. It is far from perfect, my first attempt at using spray paint, but I think it is a lot cuter than it was!

I forgot to crop my pictures so you get to see my messy table!

Here is a card I made for my mom's birthday, I remembered to crop these ones, LOL!

I am working on a set of cards for my Aunt for her birthday. I will try to remember to take pictures before I mail them!

I am so enjoying getting back into my crafting! I have really missed the outlet. My only problem now is that my puter is in the dining room instead of my crap room. I will figure it out. I miss having my puter right there with my while I am scrapping, or making a card, or doing whatever.

Well that is enough chatter for one day!

Have a great day!

Kelly

New card

Here is the latest card I made.

I think I really like this one! The base is Core'dnations. I used the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and sanded it. I then stamped it with swirls from a Stampin' Up! set and embossed them. For the panel, I stamped the word Love and embossed that with some shiny embossing powder three or four times. I then sprayed the panel with some Glimmer Mist. The brackets are from my stash, can't remember where they came from. The ribbon and brads are also from my stash.

My cards are usually really clean and simple, I really like this shabby look!

Here is another card that I made recently. I ran the image panel through the Cuttlebug using the Floral Fantasy embossing folder and inked the edges. I stamped the flowers three times, colored them with copics and cut them out. I attached some little pearl bling to the flowers and used Stickles on the flowers without the pearls. I used Glossy Accents on the leaves and the butterfly {that I also colored copics}. I used Stickles on the butterfly also. I used some jewelry wire to make the antenna for the butterfly. I stamped and embossed Hello and the leaves on a Spellbinder's oval that I cut out and popped up.

The weather is back to FRIGID. We had a few nice warm days and the snow was gone. We wake up today to more snow and very cold temps! It is suppose to be very cold for the rest of the week....ugh! I am so ready for Spring.

Well that is enough for tonight! Have a great night!

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been busy trying to find ways to use the foam sheets my son gave me. He works in a paper factory and brought me a LOT for foam sheets {these sheets are thinner than fun foam}. I have cut some down to 12"x12" to use on my Gazelle. The scraps from cutting them down, I have used to make my own foam alphas! I am loving this because I can customize my alpha sets to my needs! For instants, my DD's name is Amanda, so I am always running out of the letter "A". When making my own sets I know I need to make a lot of the letter "A". I'm sure you get the gist of this...LOL!

I also found a pattern online {can't remember where} for crocheted flowers, so have been making them also. I had a minor surgery on my toe, so have been laid up for the last week or so and needed something creative to do while lying on the couch!

I did get a card done that I will try and post tomorrow. I think I have another Christmas card to post, will look and see.

This is the Christmas card I made for my DS and his new wife. I seen this image and thought of them! This image is from Digital Ink Co. Isn't it just adorable??!! I colored it with copics, I used homemade flower soft {Holly Young made a video on her blog about this! Very cool!}, and sprinkled embossing powder over it to look like it was snowing! I think the PP is DCWV and the ribbon is from my stash. I use Gina K's Luxury CS to stamp and color on. Of the different papers I have tried, I like this one the best when coloring!

Also, check out some of the blog candy listed in my sidebar. I am pretty sure some of them end in the next day or two.

Okay, will try to post my homemade fonts and flowers and my card tomorrow!

Have a great night!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Sorry I haven't been around, but I was so busy getting everything done for Christmas!! I got ALMOST everything done BEFORE Christmas with the exception of a set of cards for my mom (I told her before Christmas they would be late...LOL!) I got all of my cards made AND mailed and I even made everyone in the immediate family an ornament for the tree! I glittered the inside of a clear ornament and then put the name and year on the outside with vinyl. It was the first time I have played with vinyl and I can see myself playing with it more! I was afraid to try it, but it was so easy! I did forget to take pictures of the ornaments.

Here are some of the cards I did for Christmas.

This image is from Squigglefly dot com. Isn't he the cutest little elf?? The image on the inside is from a set of stamps I got from Wal-Mart last year, I don't know who put these stamps out. I was hoping for some more this year, but I didn't find any...:( I am just getting into using stamps {digital and rubber} and copic markers. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE copics! I just need to grow my collection some more...LOL! I made this card for my Great Nephew {WOW! That is so crazy! I can't believe my niece is old enough to be a mom!} On the inside I used these stickers that I have had forever! I just never got the hang of using stickers, I think this turned out so cute!

This image is from Rachelle Anne Miller ~ Mouse Hug ~ I think it is just too cute! Again I colored the image with copics {I need to keep practicing my coloring!!} All of the paper that I used this year are from my stash! I didn't buy any new Christmas paper!! I did buy a few embellishments, and unfortunately I didn't even use some of them! I used my Nesties {Label 1} to attach the stamped image to and then popped it up with pop dots. I glittered the edges with Martha Stewart glitter. I added the fringe {I wish I knew where I got that because I really like it!} That's it! It was pretty simple to make and I enjoyed it! I have always loved to color and now I have an excuse to close myself in my "Crap" room and play!...it just doesn't get any better!

This image is from Digital Ink Co. I again colored with copics and popped it up with pop dots. I wrapped silver embroidery thread around the red CS. I used green jewelry wire for the light strands {it doesn't show up in the photo}. I also used Glossy accents on the light bulbs. I used some Stickles on the stockings for a finishing touch! This card was really fun to make also! I got some Cutter Bee scissors for Christmas, I wish I would have had them when i was cutting this stamp out...LOL! So far I really like them! I have a collection of scissors and the Cutter Bees are the first pair that I own that actually cuts all the way to the end!

I can't find where I got this image from!! I have looked and looked, but can't find where it came from! Sorry to the artist!! I printed this digi stamp twice and popped up some of the petals of the second image with pop dots. I colored it with copics and then added glitter. I wish I would have left the glitter off, but I just didn't have the time to re-do it. I used a Fiskar's border punch on PP and a Cuttlebug embossing folder on the edge of the CS. I didn't like the results of this either, but hey, I tried! I used Bazzill bling CS under the stamp and under the PP.

This image is another great image from Digital Ink Co. This so reminded me of my youngest sister! I had a lot of fun coloring this one! I used copics once again and Stickles on the tree to bling it up a little. I used glossy accents on the heart on the hat and the star on the tree. I used a white souffle pen on the white on the hat. I used a glittered paper under the images that I popped up and the PP has glittered swirls on it. I think this is one of my favorites!

This image is from Digital Ink Co. also. I thought of my niece when I saw this one. I colored the image with copics and used a white souffle pen on the hat and scarf. I also used a yellow souffle pen on the present that the teddy is sitting on. I thought that ribbon was just too cute when I saw it. I got that at Dollar General. i hardly ever find scrapping supplies at the dollar stores, so I was thrilled when I found some different ribbons!!

These images came from Stretch N' Bubbles at strectchnbubbles dot blogspot dot com. I thought these were just the cutest! I colored them with copics and used glossy accents on the star, heart and the reindeer's nose. This card was for my nephew so I tried really hard to make look masculine. I didn't add any ribbon or bling.

This post is already long, so I will end it for today. I have a few more cards to share, but I will wait until tomorrow to upload those.

I hope everyone had a wonderful and Merry Christmas. I hope you were able to it with family and people you love. I lost my dad and my youngest brother this year, so the holiday are a little sad for my family.

Have a great day!

Kelly

Christmas is coming!

Here is another Christmas card that I made. I still have more to take pictures of. I am slowly getting them done!!

This one was made with the same PP as the previous one, I still don't know who the manufacturer is. I used my nesties to cut out the center piece and my circle punch to cut out the circle. I used foam dots to pop both of those up. I found the snowflake bling at Joann's. The felt snowflakes along the side are from Queen & Co. The ribbon and bling are from my stash. The card base is Bazzill bling.

For the inside I used my nesties again. I used a white gel pen for the dots around the edge. The mini brads are from Queen & Co. The snowflakes were stamped and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I used a stamp from Stampin' Up for the greeting and a Fiskar's border punch.

I am still working on a few Christmas presents. If they turn out like what is in my head I will take pictures and share...lol!

Well, that's all for tonight! Have a great night!

Kelly

Christmas Card

Here is another Christmas card that I made.

You can't see it in the photo, but the PP is shimmery and has a little glitter on it. More paper from my stash. I don't know who the manufacturer for this one is. I used my nesties to cut out the two oval and then used my Quickie glue pen to put glue around the edges of the ovals. I used Martha Stewart glitter around the edges. I love this glitter!! I read online somewhere, can't remember where, that Swiffer sheets work great for cleaning up glitter. I had been using a lint roller for messy spills and such, but these Swiffer sheets work WONDERFUL! Oh, back to the card...I used a Fiskers border punch for the bottom of the PP. I then attached self-adhesive half pearls along the bottom and on the two upper corners. The snowflake is from Spare Parts, I think...I stamped Merry Christmas on the inside to finish off the card. The card base is Bazzill Bling.

I only have a few more cards to make. I need to finish off the cards and box for my mom, I "think" I am going to try to make ornaments for my son and his new wife and a pretty box to put them in. We'll see just what I am able to get done...LOL!

Well, have a great day!

Kelly

Another Christmas Card

Here is the second card I made. I like this one much better than the first one I posted. Again I used things that I have had for quite some time. I used another DCWV card base, Bazzil card stock that I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder on. The PP is scraps from the first card I made. The holly leaf came with some other embellies in a pack of like three different one, but I don't remember the manufacturer. I used a Marvi corner punch and then wrapped metallic silver embroidery floss around the edges. I used some bling and some ribbon from my stash.

For the inside I used more scraps and some silver letter stickers from my stash. I like these letter stickers much better than the ones I used on the first card!

I got three and a half cards done today. I need to take pictures of them. Two of them turned out so cute! The PP I used was just too cute! I will have to upload them soon! I haven't counted how many cards I have done or how many I need to get done, so I guess I don't feel too pressured to get them done {even thought Christmas is coming very soon!}

That's it for tonight. Have a great night!

Kelly

Christmas Card

I finally took pictures of the cards that I have finished. I pulled out all of my Christmas papers, embellies, etc. and I said I wasn't going to buy any more Christmas themed anything until I used up all of the old stuff. I have had some of these supplies for a couple of years, when I first started making cards, and didn't really care for some of the embellies and stickers. I tried to jazz up the things I didn't like to make them work.

Here is the first Christmas card I made for 2009.

The base of the card is from the DCWV box of cards. The PP is from Joann's open stock, I think that is DCWV also, but not positive. The Christmas tree is from a card kit from two or three years ago, not sure of the brand. I wrapped gold embroidery floss around the tree for garland and then used some bling for ornaments and the star on the top of the tree. I used the nestie Label to pop the tree up. I used some MS glitter around the edge of the Label. The ribbon is from my stash also, not sure of the brand. I also used a corner rounder to round two of the corners.

and the inside of the card.

I used scraps from the front of the card for the inside. Now that I am looking at these letters on the computer, I am so not liking them. I will have to change them before sending this card out!

I need to go and get some more cards made!

Have a great day!

Kelly

Another card

I have been working on my Christmas cards the last few days. I was going to take photos of the ones that I have finished but the batteries in BOTH cameras are dead! How does that happen? I have two cameras and was thinking when I got the second one that I wouldn't have to worry about missing the perfect picture because I have TWO cameras. The chances of the batteries running out of juice in both cameras at the same time won't be a problem...WRONG!...lol

Here is another card I have made for the set I am going to give to my mom for Christmas.

There is suppose to be flower in the lower right hand corner. It fell off and I didn't realize until after I took the picture! It's a little blurry also...sorry about that!

Well I guess I had better get back to making those Christmas cards so that I can get them mailed BEFORE Christmas!

Have a great day!

Kelly

Happy Thanksgiving....

a little late! I hope everyone had a wonderful day and was able to spend time with people that you love and was able to enjoy LOTS of good food!

We had a great day with lots of good food and laughter!

Sorry I haven't posted any more cards. I have been trying to get the layout for my Christmas cards done. Hopefully I have it figured out and can start making them!

Here is another card I made for my mom.

I have used the same papers on all of the cards, I am trying to make it look like a set. I have also started making a box to put them in. If it turns out okay, I will post a picture of that also.

Have a great night!

Kelly

My DD made it home!

My DD got in at 6:30 this morning! It is so good to see her! It feels like she had been gone for years instead of a couple of months! She looks really good and has survived her first experience of being away from home. She does have to go back to DC for about a month, but the longest stretch is over. When she is done in DC, she has to go to college, about six hours away, but at least she will be closer to home.

Okay, enough about my DD for now. Here is another card I have to share with anyone that looks at my blog...LOL! It is another of the set I am making for my mom for Christmas. Red is one of her favorite colors so I hope she likes these.

This is my favorite so far. I am trying to make them so that she can use them for any occasion. This one I didn't put any greeting on the front or inside. She can use it to write a quick note to someone or she can use it as a birthday card, etc.

Well that's it for tonight. I have a lot of cooking to do tomorrow in order to get ready for Thanksgiving day. If I don't get on here again before Thanksgiving day, have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy your time with your family. We have lost two family members this year that will be greatly missed.

Have a great night!

Kelly

Productive!

I want to make a set of cards to give to my mom for Christmas. I actually got one done today! I'm thinking 12 for a set is a good number! Now let's see if I can get that many finished in time to mail in time for Christmas!

Here is the first one I am sharing. I think I like it. I will have to look at it for a couple of days before I decide if this is the finished product!

I have two birthday cards I need to get made before Thursday...nothing like putting things off until the last minute!

My DD will be home for Thanksgiving early Tuesday morning! I can't wait to see her! I knew I would miss her, I didn't realize how much until she was gone! She had her 21st birthday while in DC so I will have some of her favorite frosted sugar cookies waiting for her when she gets here and I will make her absolute favorite, cherry cheesecake, so we can all celebrate on Thanksgiving.

I'm not getting anything done sitting here at the puter...lol!

Have a great night!

Kelly

Finally, something to add!

I have finally found my crafting mojo! I lost it earlier this year, and just couldn't bring myself to go into my "crap" room and even try to find it! I don't know if it was losing my dad in May, or my little brother taking his life in August, the move, etc. I should have been really excited because I finally got my scrapping room, but...anyways...

Here is a card I made for my in-laws anniversary...late...but I got it done! I totally messed up the date of their anniversary! I thought it was in November, BUT it was in October! I feel soooo bad that I made that mistake! My mom-in-law loves my cards so hopefully this will make forgetting a little better!

I stamped the word "Always" by Autumn Leaves and colored it with copic markers. I then cut it out and used dimensionals to pop it up. After I had my card all put together I used glossy accents to cover the whole word. I think it turned out okay, especially for not creating for quite some time!

Here's my card:

Have a great day!

Kelly

MIA

So sorry I haven't been around for so long. I have had some health problems the last couple of months that I have had to deal with, so I just haven't had much energy.

I have been spending a little more time in my "crap" room the last week and have gotten a few cards finished. I will take some pictures and get them posted in the next day or so. I have to take my son to the doctor tomorrow. He got bit by a cat last Tuesday night and ended up having surgery on Wednesday. I have been around cats all of my life and never knew such a thing could happen! He is doing well, thank God! He goes for a check-up tomorrow and hopefully everything will be okay!

Hopefully I have gotten my crafting mojo back and will start posting more often!

Have a great night!

Kelly
