Apple Tree Birthday

I had a request to make a card for a gentleman that was having his 70th birthday. He loves his apple trees so it was a great excuse to pull out one of my favorite stamps.... The apple tree from Cornish Heritage Farms. This is a simple card but turned out very nice.



I used the Storybook cartridge to cut out the label shapes. And colored the image with prismacolor pencils. The apples were done with red liquid pearls.

I put an Irish Blessing on the inside. I think it fits with the card nicely.

Wall Pops & Jet Max Cubes

I've been super busy organizing, and decorating my scraproom. I picked up several more Jet Max cubes which started the entire process. I spent several days putting them together, then several more days moving everything around. It was also a great time to cull out those things I don't want or will not use. Then I decided I needed to add a little decoration. Since I live in an apartment stencils or painting is not allowed. Wall Pops to the rescue!

Here are pics of my newly organized room and my first Wall Pops project. It came out pretty cute. Oh, I had a left over flower and vine so my cricut got dressed up too!











I also was busy finishing an etched plate for my Mother's birthday and a card for a friend. I'll post those later. Now I'm off to get some rest! LOL

Happy Anniversary

A quick card for my Son & DIL's 2nd anniversary. I picked up this cute Whippersnapper stamp at a warehouse sale they had a few months back. Stamped the image onto very vanilla Stampin Up cardstock using Stazon Jet Black ink. Then colored the image using prismacolor pencils and the MCPT. I highlighted the image by sponging around it with River Rock ink. I used a gold leafing pen around all the edges. Stickles were added to the hearts and to the turtles.



Enjoy!

It's A Girl

A co-worker and his wife just had a baby girl. I made this card for them using my "comfort" zone techniques. I love to doodle. The stitching is hand doodles. I also used a Scalloped Nestability and cut it so the bear looks like it is peeking out from the bottom layer. The words were cut from the New Arrival cartridge and glittered. Gotta love bling!


I stamped the bear and colored with prismacolor pencils. Then I cut it out and pop-dotted onto the scallop. I made a tiny bow and glued on the bear. There are red stickles on the heart too. Added lots of tiny pearls. The inside says "Among the world's most precious gifts, among it's precious pearls, God smiles down upon the world and sends us little girls!"

Love them bugs....

Hope you are all having a relaxing Sunday. I just got home from a brunch at a friends. We each brought a dish-to-pass and there was so much food I'm not sure I'll eat again for a couple of days.

Here is another Bugawumps card. This time a birthday card for my BIL. Men are so hard to make cards for! It is a 5" square card. I don't make many square ones since the Post Office charges more to mail them but this one I'm delivering in person.



I computer generated the inside to match (blocked out his name from the photo) and I think it came out very close.



I really like the bug noises paper. Found it at a LSS. The music notes are not from Bugawumps, but all the other stamps are. Enjoy.
