Morning Cup

I have to say, this was going to be one of our cards for card night this month, but decided against it? I think it came out cute, and not sure who to send it to...lol Anyway, my lovely friend Laura Mellinger's husband, Rick, made me a lightbox so I could get better photos of my creations. He did WONDERFUL! Now I just want to put things in it to photograph!

Happy Birthday Balloons!

I love using markers to color balloons in different colors, but I really love our new In Colors! Wasn't sure about them in the beginning, but now, I love them! I used Pattern Party balloons and a sentiment from Up, Up and Away set. I then mounted the balloons AND the sentiment on Acrylic Block E, colored the balloons using the markers, Lucky Limeade, Calypso Coral, Island Indigo and Pool Party, then colored the sentiment Calypso Coral and stamped all at once.

Flower Fest Twisted Easel~

here was my first attempt at the twisted easel card... I sent it to my secret sister back in the early summer months.

Inspired by Nature

I can't tell you how many times we have used this set since I got it back at Convention in 2008! It's a favorite by alot of people and we have used just about every different kind of color combos as we can...I was looking for something on the more masculine side but adding the little scallops, well it doesn't make it very masculine..but nonetheless I think it turned out okay.

Hello, Doily!

Okay, so this is one of the very first things I ordered in the new catalog and can't say enough about the quality of this stamp for having so many intricut spaces on it. We stamped it in Versamark and embossed it in Winter White Embossing powder. It's just simply lovely! Another one of our August cards.

Raining Flowers

We got this set in our convention bags this year and I honestly can say it wasn't one that would have been my first pick, but after I came home and finished my make and takes from convention, I decided it would grow on me. This is one of the cards we did for August card classes. I think I am going to like it.

Flower Fest Swirls & Curls Verses

So, here's to Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Daffodil delight!
