New Cards I Made

Here are some new cards that I have made.

More April Showers

This card is from Denise. She used the Big Shot with the large scallop on chipboard . It makes the card look like a shadow box picture. I love it.

Technique Card

I had to do a technique for a swap and I chose Shaving Cream, one of my favorites. But I don't use glossy card stock, I use the confetti white instead. It dries faster and if you use silver or gold, you don't have to worry about it messing up. It dries almost instantly.

More April Showers

The first one is from Regina Gibson. I really haven't liked this set, but after seeing her card, it is just adorable. I will have to think about getting it.
The next two cards are from Laura Bargwell. I love her color combinations. Thanks... I love being flooded.

New Cards I Made

April Showers

It is my month for being "flooded" with cards from the Flood Swap. I am so excited and I already received two and it's not even April yet. I hosted this and I am hosting the next one that runs from April - November. We don't do December since that is such a busy month. My husband who is a Postmaster told me that the swaps that I am in and all the swaps everyone is in probably keeps the Post Office going since most people do everything over the internet now.
The last card is from Bonnie Block. Even though it is Christmas, I really like it and it will be filed with my other Christmas Cards. This is a set I never bought but liked. Thank you. The first two cards are from Lisa Wood. She thanked me for hosting and thanked on behalf of all the swappers. She send an extra card as a token of her appreciation. I have never seen this design for the small card and I love it. The regular card shown next "You quack me up" is really cute. I don't do cute cards and I don't know why because I love them. So thanks Lisa for giving me a cute card. Today 4/2, I received two more cards. Another cute card with the new Birthday Cupcake came from Lisa and the beautiful 5th Ave. card came from Jennifer This is so soft looking with the vellum. Thanks.

Thank You Card

I made this card to thank a girl on Stampin' Up for taking over the secret sister swap for me. This was the second time I hosted it and I was having a lot of problems and Dawn Kirby stepped up to the plate and took over. She emailed me the other day and asked me how I kept my sanity. She now knows what it takes to be a hostess, especially one that covers a couple of months. So I was thinking about her last night and decided to make her a cards. I used the pocket Silhouettes stamp set, the round tab punch, the corner rounder punch and the new eyelet border punch from Stampin' Up. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder on velum. I used one of the clear buttons and put on Georgia Peach DSP paper. I of course put glitter diamonds on the flower.

4. You will have no clue what it's going to be.
5. The catch (you know that there is one of those). You must repost this on your blog and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first five people to comment and post the details and fine print on their blog will get a SURPRISE from ME!

Make and Takes for March

Here are the cards my Make and Take class will be making in March.

My latest Punch Art Cat

Here is another Punch Art Cat. Don't you just love him.

Color Combinations

After getting back from Kim's Make and Take Class, one of the cards we did was a birthday card that used all the new In colors. I challenged myself to see what other color combo's I could come up with. The last one was the original B'day card and the next to the last two are the same color combos, just used in a different order and the others are just different color combos. I also used either so saffron or certainly celery in each of them because I have a lot of that cardstock for some reason.

More Cards

I have received another flood swap card today. It is really neat. It is the first one I have actually received that had REAL sewing on it, not faux stitching. I love it.
The second card is one I put together to night. I love Punch Art and I love cats and Stampin' Up has such great punches. This used the large oval with med one, circle, start and small oval. I loved using the new DSP paper too.

Kasey and the Daytona 500

Kasey begins 15th in a field of 43. I guess we will just have to see after 500 miles. It could have been a lot worse.

New Cards Received

I received two flood cards and one card from my SS from the Shack. Aren't they wonderful?

Card Made from Card Kit

I belong to a Secret Sister Card Kit Swap and each month we get a kit to make one or two cards. This is one of the cards I made from one kit I got this month. I just love the image, papers and accessories she sent me.

New Flood Cards

Here are some new Shack flood cards I have received this month.

Bud Shootout

As you can tell by my picture, I am a Kasey fan. They just finished the Bud Shootout and Kasey came in 6th which isn't bad but he could have done better. He qualifies 2nd tomorrow for the Daytona 500 and that isn't good. His car for the Shootout is much better than his car he will drive for the 500. He was lousy in practice yesterday and going out 2nd is qualifying is like suicide. But he did dodge a few big ones tonight so we will have to see. That race was only 75 laps and 28 cars. The 500 is 500 laps and twice as many cars.

Cards I made

I made these cards from SU "Love Sparkles" Simply Scrappin Kit. The cat image is from an image I received from my secret sister this round.

New Cards from floods

Thanks to my Secret Sister at the Shack

Here are the four stamps I received from my secret sister who sent them directly from the manufacture so I have no clue who it can be. Aren't they great! As you can see I am a cat person. SU just doesn't sell cats so I have to go elsewhere.
