Halloween is just around the corner

Happy Tuesday! I'm posting a Halloween card today.  My mom really enjoys my cards, so I will typically send her a few extra cards each year.  I don't have any cute digi stamps for Halloween, so I brought out my Cricut and used the Paper Doll cartridge to make these cute cut-outs.  Cute huh?  I didn't put too many embellishments on it because I have to mail it to Missouri and it sometimes gets a bit crushed.  Enjoy!

Saturated Canary card

I've been spending quite a bit of time making Christmas cards (which is crazy because the weather has been quite hot).  For a break, I wanted to get started on a few birthday cards and maybe a Thanksgiving card or two ... or three.  Here is my latest card using a Saturated Canary digital stamp.

Challenge at Lady Anne's Card Challenges

This month Delicious Doodles was the sponsor for our stamps.  I needed to make a masculine card, so I used this cute cog and chain stamp digital stamp and added the text inside. Join us at Lady Anne's Card Challenges ...

Welcome to the neighborhood

Happy weekend everyone.  Work has taken me away from my craft room for the past few weeks.  Today I'm going to a BBQ for a few friends - new neighbors to our hood.  I broke out my Cricut and used the HandyMan cartridge and made the following card.  I'm glad I had a few hours because the piecing took a while, but it sure was a lot of fun.  I hope you like it.

50 on the 50th

I have a great friend who has inspired me to get healthy. We walk our dogs almost daily and we've spent a lot of time bike riding.  We rode about 300 miles so far this summer and later this month she turns 50 and we are riding the most ever in one ride - 50 miles.  

For her birthday, I've made her the card below. It's not the typical loud big 50 that one would see, but I think it's ideal for our upcoming ride.

The stamp is a Magnolia.  Cute huh?

Lady Anne's challenges

As most of you know, I've been chosen to be on the design team for Lady Anne's challenges.  We've had some great sponsors lately and it's been a lot of fun to be on the team.  Last week I made the following card.  I wasn't used to using such a dark stamp, but I think it turned out pretty good as I kept with the black/white theme.

We are doing another card mid-month, which I promise will show much more colors!  Enjoy - and if you have the time, hop on over to Lady Anne's to see what the other Team Members have created.

Happy Monday all! I hope you had a wonderful holiday weekend. We had so many bar-b-ques and firework displays to see over the 4 day weekend that I didn't get much else done.  I do have several birthdays in July, so I have to get crackin'!

This is one I made yesterday for a gal I work with.  She's a great lady and, like so many other people, aren't able to function until she's had her morning coffee.  This is the card I'm sending her today. I'm certain it will make her smile.  It's a Rubber Necker stamp that I've had for quite a while.

I'm entering it in the following challenges:
One Stop Craft Challenge - anything goes
Paper Creator's Crafts - think Pink
