Maybe this is your lucky day!

TA DA! Yes, I am making up for lost time! One more card for today, and then I promise that I will make you wait for more, OK? I am sharing a girly card that I thought came out kind of cute! Here it is:

What you can't see is that the shoe looks patent leather. It was embossed with red embossing powder. The ribbon and the pearls were in my stash. The metal edged tag that the shoe is mounted on is from Stampin' Up! The punch I used around the tag is from Martha Stewart.

I hope you are enjoying your holiday weekend so far!

Hugs!

Me again!!

Hello!

I know, I'm not very consistant! I am here again to share another card with you. I am not sure if I will have a chance to post tomorrow, so I thought that I would get a head start.

This is one of the cards that I am making for a friend who placed a card order with me. I used Jolees golf set on this card I used paper from the metallic mat stack, and used an embossing folder to make the dimpled golf ball effect. I then cut it into a circle to make it look like a golf ball.

I hope you are having a great Friday night!

Hugs!

Happy Birthday, USA!

Happy 4th of July! I know that I am a couple of days early.

Instead of a nice patriotic card, I am sharing a baby card with you today. It is one that I made for my daughter-in-law to give at a baby shower. The idea came from Angel Wilde for Our Daily Bread designs. Mine is a little different from hers, but is the same general idea.

I hope that you and your family have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!

Hugs!

WOW, the week went fast!

Happy Saturday!
I can't believe that I let a week go by without posting a card for you! Sorry about that. I guess that it just got away from me.

I had my grandson overnight on Thursday night. We took him to his 18 month check up yesterday (He is actually 19 months now). He is such a joy, and we can't get enough of him! even the doctor and his nurse commented about how good he is for his age. He's 24.1 lbs. and 32 inches. He is such a little toddler now!

OK, on to my creation for today! I am sharing a card that I made for a good friend. He is receiving it today...shhh, don't tell! He is a guitar fanatic. I don't think that this photo shows the real detail of the card. I Crystel Laquer to give the guitar that realistic edge. I also accented with my Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen. I just LOVE this pen and use it often, which is why I have several in my stash! The brads I used are from my stash too. I used the Happy Happy Bithday stamp from Stampin' Up!.

The inside of the card has images of guitar by Club Scrap limited edition from 2003. I used the Scalloped Dot punch by Martha Stewart. I sure do hope he likes it! I will find out this afternoon!

My husband is celebrating his birthday tomorrow, so I may not get anything posted tomorrow...but, you never know! After all, I am up at 5:00 AM almost every day! It sure does give me time to get things done...like it or not! Happy Birthday to my man, Mark!

Have a great weekend!

Hugs!

It's the weekend!!

Happy Saturday!

It's another hot one in Texas. The sun is shining and the sky is blue. We are spending half of our day waiting for DirecTV to come...you know what that means, don't you? We will be last on the list!

I gives me a good excuse to be here writing my blog, doing my laundry, and making cards to fill orders that I have. Besides, I want to be free of any work when Jenn, Joe and Bobby get home tomorrow. I can't wait to see them.

This cute owl birthday card is part of one of my card orders. The owl stamp is by Inky Antics. The branch that he's sitting on is from Stamps by Judith. I added a pretty pink party hat (from studio g Clear Stamps), with a pop dot giving it dimension. I colored him with Prismacolor Colored Pencils.

Have a wonderful day. Remember to appreciate all of those you love in your life, and let them know what they mean to you. Life can change in a heartbeat.

Hugs!
Deb

Busy cardmaking day!

Happy Friday!!
It's a hot one here in Texas. We are supposed to have temps around 100 degrees in the next 7 days, at least.

Since it is so hot and it is almost the first day of summer, it seems only fitting to share a surfing card!

I had a mini lesson on using the brayer this morning from my friend, Barb. I remembered a little bit from a long time ago. What a really need is a Michelle Zindorf class! She is the expert in using a brayer, and does the best work of anyone I have ever seen!

This card is for my husband's birthday next weekend...Shhh!! Hopefully, he won't check out my blog...but, I don't think that he's a frequent visitor!

I used Stickles to make the waves stand out. When I stamped the image (which is Stampin' Up, Extreme Surfer) it didn't look very dark when I stamped it, so I decided to color the surfer in with a black marker. It looked too dark then...ya just can't win! So, I stamped another image and cut the surfer out, used pop dots to raise it up...and there you have it!

For all of the daddies out there, I hope you have a VERY Happy Father's Day! Enjoy your father, and remember to enjoy him and know how blessed you are to have him in your life. Prayers, Love & Hugs to my friend, Judi, whose dad is not doing very well.

Hugs!

Smile!

Good morning, faithful followers!

Today's card is an image from Heartfelt Creations. I stamped the image and then used Prismacolor Colored Pencils to color the image. It's always more difficult to make cards for males, but I thought that this one was perfect for the outdoorsy guy!

I am looking forward to a funfilled day with a good friend today. Perhaps we will be really creative too!

Have a great day!
Hugs!
