Easter Card -- #3

This card base was cut with my Cricut. I used my gypsy and welded two egg shapes from the Easter cartridge that was released in 2010. I used some Stardust stickles around the edge to give it some bling.

The bunny was also cut from the Easter cartridge, and the background shape is from the Picturesque cartridge. The bunny was cut from white paper and colored brown with a Bic Marks ALot marker.

Easter Card -- #2

Here is card number 2. The bunnies are also cut from the Slice "Spring" design card and glittered in the same way as the peep. The tag shapes were also cut from a Slice design card, but I just can't remember which one! Doesn't it just figure?

My dear friend just "loved" getting all these special Easter cards! Well, who wouldn't? LOL

Easter Card

I have a dear friend that I love to torment with holiday cards. She knows who she is! LOL Anyway, the marshmallow peep is a cut from the Slice "Spring" design card. I ran it thru the Xyron and sprinkled yellow glitter on it to make it look like the sugar coated peeps. The paper is from the DCWV nursery stack (boy), and the purple plaid is punched with an EK Success border punch. The corner dots are glittery dimensional stickers from Target.

Mother's Day

I just finished the Mother's Day card I am sending to my mom. It needs to go in the mail tomorrow! I used a Penny Black slapstick stamp "Flower Girl" for the image. I colored it using a combination of Prisma watercolor pencils and Bic Marks ALot markers. It is edged with a Martha Stewart PATP punch set. The background is embossed with the Cuttlebug folder that comes with the gratitude or thanks card combo. I thought its flowers looked similar to the sunflower the little girl is holding. I also used a red ribbon and bow at the top. Can you believe it? No die cuts were used on this card! I hope mom likes it!

April Card Swap

Last night was card swap, but I didn't get a picture of my card until this morning. Too busy lately for my own good! Anyway, the swap theme was baby girl.

My card is a 4.25" square with an EK Success punch used along the bottom. I cut a 3.24" square of lavendar cardstock and used a lacy Martha Stewart PATP (punch around the page) set, and I also embossed it with a polka dot folder. The heart set on top was cut with my Cuttlebug heart die/embossing folder set. The heart base is cut from a light lilac and stamped "Welcome Baby" in a dark purple. The top heart is embossed vellum. I like the way the vellum turned out with the embossing, and I am sure I will be doing this again soon!

Graduation Layout

As you know from my last post, Miss Gracie graduated from the puppy class last Monday. Yay, Gracie! Anyway, this is the LO that I made for her scrapbook. I scanned the certificate and printed it out on cardstock in the size that would work on my 8" x 8" page. (I also erased the instructor's name to protect her privacy.) "Graduation" is cut from the Calligraphy cartridge, and the mortarboards are cut from A Child's Year. I added some red embroidery floss for the tassel.

"Valedictorian" is cut from the Nursery Rhyme cartridge, "Teachers Pet" is from Lyrical Letters and was welded with my Gypsy. The white terrier is from Just Because Cards. The background is a soft gray with a 3.5" chunk of printed graduation paper (from Joanns) down the outer edge. Overall, I am very pleased with the LO, especially since I do not consider myself a scrapbooker.

Gracie's Graduation

Gracie graduated from puppy school this evening. Isn't she just the cutest in a mortarboard? I love it! She refused to wear it, of course, so I had to hold it in place to get pictures. She looks so grown up in this picture, but she is just a puppy.
