Un'frog'ettable

That is what you are.. Ok ok.. I know it has been over 2 years since I last posted... Shame on me.. I am going to try my best to start uploading some of my finished ideas again... This cutie froggy and the saying came from my favorite local stamp store DRS Designs.. Check out their website here: http://www.drsdesigns.com/

This is the inside.. The card is a tr-fold card.. My first attempt.. I am quite pleased with how it turned out!

A special gift for a very special someone.....

I made this for my Mother in Law who is battling breast cancer.. Thank you too my friend Shelly for directing me to this stamp... I water colored the background as well as the rainbow.. The rainbow has a special meaning for my Mother in Law and I thought it very appropriate for this.. The picture frame is actually an off white but in the picture it might look a little pinkish... I have to say this looks so much better in person...

Update

I thought that it was about time to give everyone an update!

This is my first attempt at watercoloring.. Not too bad right?

I just love this stamp!!


This is a card that I made to send pictures in.

I took two 5 x 7 pieces of card stock and stitched them together. I then added the front to the two pieces. The sentiment is under the circles.

I used Stampin Up Crystal Effects on the front of the circle after I stamped and colored my image. I wanted to give it a shimmery watery look..

Here is the inside where the pictures go.

A question someone asked...

Someone asked a question on how I get the frames for my cards. I own a cricut machine that cuts all kinds of different shapes based on the cartridge used. I mostly use that for getting the scalloped circles and squares and other frames for my cards. Hope this is helpful!

Mother's Day.. Baby Card and More....

Here is my weekly update of cards I have done.. I just love the lion and the look on his face! For this card I stamped on the inside "Having a Bad Day?" I thought that it was more than appropriate! This card is actually up for sale on ebay and has a bid! YAY! I have been trying to sell some of my creation on there. So far so good. If you want to check out what I have for sale just look for the link to the right - Ebay- My listings!
Sorry about the poor quality of the next couple of pictures. I had to use my scanner instead of my camera as I let someone borrow my camera.
This is a card I did for a friend who just had a baby.
The next two are Mother's Day cards and the last card is just one I did with no particular theme. I had just gotten the stamp set and had to try them out! Speaking of stamp sets. I just got some in the mail from Stampin Up and also allthatscraps.com! I can't wait to use them! Hopefully I will have a little time this week or weekend end!

Cards.. Cards.. and more cards......

Here are quite a few cards from over the past couple weeks. Life has gotten more hectic if you can believe that. The kids have started sports and it pretty takes up my entire Saturday. I don't really mind as the kids just love it! Enjoy!

I told you there were quite a few! ;O )

I just love these Penny Black horse themed stamps!

They are just the most adorable!! I am going to have to check and see if there are anymore of them! I think I already bought all of the designs out there but it doesn't hurt to give it another look see!! : O )

A few cards from this weekend so far...

I have had these little boy and little girl stamps for a while and just haven't gotten around to using them. I was inspired by my son the other day when he came in and had muddy knees from playing outside!

This is one of my favorite stamps! It is part of the Rambling Ted line from Penny Black. I have just recently found these Rambling Teds on one of my favorite stamp sites to shop and I was sad to learn that a lot of them are retired and you can't get them anymore. : O ( I will keep looking online mostly at ebay to see if I can score some of them!

Here are a couple more:

Whipper snapper stamps.. Just love them...

Here are some cards that I did this weekend with my new batch of stamps from whipper snapper!! Just love them all! Such cute designs!! That last card I used a penny black stamp on.. so cute...

Inspired by SusieB

Susie on the cricut mb inspired these cards. She has been posting cards that she has made with pre-embossed cards. She just ads a stamped imagine and some extra touches and whala.. Well I found these cards at the grocery store the other day (not the best quality cards-but they will do until I can get some of the better quality ones) sooo without further ado...
