Butterfly Punch pansies

I made this card this summer and have forgotten to post pictures. The pansies are made from the Butterfly punch and some reinkers and our beautiful Shimmer White cardstock! Isn't it so cool? I really have fun making these, because you can just about use any color of reinkers to make whatever color pansies you want, and the real beauty is, they never look the same!

Goblin Greetings-Owl Punch Ghost

Okay, so this isn't my original idea for the ghost, but I had to use this idea for card night last month. I also used a couple of other punches on this card. I just think it turned out so cute.

A Cute Christmas Swap

So, I am excited to be attending our first ever Iowa regional training next week, and thought Christmas cards would be fun and different this time of year, these are what I came up with for my swaps. It's kind of different knowing that we are going to be a "smaller" group at regionals for the first time, but I am very excited to get my "business" boost that I am needing to refresh with a whole room full of stampers!

Scalloped Envelope basket with Ghosts(aka-candybars)

A super friend taught us to make these last year at a demo meeting (thank you Laura)....it is the Scallop Envelope die (cut out two and trim off about an inch from the bottom flap on each one) and then glue together to form a basket. Then we cut off the fingers of a glove to make the "ghosts" and then drew on the eyes.

Baby Dresser Card

I made one of these for a contest for a papercrafting magazine, didn't get picked, but now I can share with you. I thought it came out really good, and it really was super easy to make.

I used Soft Suede cardstock for the dresser and drawers, the onesis is made from So Saffron, and embossed with white embossing powder. I then attempted to make a hanger...not so good.

Happy Anniversary

My neighbor/great friend Amy just celebrated her wedding anniversary and asked me to make a card for her to give to her husband. This is what I came up and she loved it....she has done so much for me this past 3 weeks that I told her anytime, no charge!~

Thank You's

This is the first of many thank you's I have to make. For those who know, my husband (39 years old) suffered a massive stroke on August 19th and today he got to come home to continue his healing process and outpatient therapy. I made some thank you's for those I won't be seeing again(hopefully)-nurses, and physical therapists and Keli who was an amazing social worker who helped with insurance stuff and helped get neccesary equipment, etc....

I used my BigShot to make the heart(Hearts and Brackets die) and the roses are from another BigShot die(non-SU!)....they are so fun to make. And those pearls from the retired Pretties Kit...still love them!
