Rotten cat!

This would be my youngest cat, Lucy. Or Lucyfur (aka female version of Lucifer). My climbing onto the top of my buffet and looking down at me cause I can't reach her and she isn't allowed up there. If she wasn't so darn cute...

Kenny K challenge

Second post for today! This is a birthday card for a friend who asked me the other day at work why she hasn't gotten a card yet. I asked her when her birthday is (we get an email list every month of upcoming birthdays) and she said....April! I was flabbergasted as I have tried really hard to make a card for pretty much everyone so then she tells me they still have her listed under her maiden name. Well duh! So anyways, this is a reeaally belated birthday card for Angela and I am also entering it into the Kenny K challenge which is to use 2 of something. Alright, time to grab a bagel and hit the road.

New calender

Morning everyone! This is a 2011 pocket calender I made for myself last night. It is from the dollar store and I just added some paper, jillibean I believe, and an image from prairiefairy designs. Being a nurse myself this little girl made me laugh. Sorry about the picture quality but there is reflection I believe from the plastic cover and I didn't want to try and pull it out again. Enjoy!

kraftin kimmie mermaid

Hi everyone! Hope the weather wherever you are was as beautiful as it was here today. And the Steelers won! Yeah! This is a card I made for one of my best friends, Kathy. She is a fellow nurse with me and we always joke that we must have been sisters in a previous life. She is one of the best and most intelligent people I know and I hope she enjoys her card. The paper is lemonade by Basic Grey with some bling on the side. I am happy with the card except for her hair. Just can't get that hair right but practice makes perfect, or at least better I hope!  I am entering this into the kraftin kimmie challengs this week which is based on a sketch so check it out and you might win a stamp!

Alright, I caved...

Evening everyone, I finally gave in and made a xmas card. Once I got to writing out my list of whom I want to send cards to I figured I better get busy! This is a mo manning image I believe it is called toboggan and I am entering it into her challenge this week. Her images are just about the best, definately one of my favorite sites. The card is very glittery but not sure if you can tell in the picture. The red stripes on the paper are glitter (and no I didn't do it by hand, it came that way) and the wooden snowflake in the corner I applied icicle stickles too. Just recieved a snowflake die set from my friend Elaine (hey!) so will try them out the next time. Not sure I care for both the dog and the sled both being brown so will also probably change the dog to gray. Ok, enough critique, enjoy the card.

Basic grey challenge

Okee dokee, post number two. Luckily I had this image colored up for awhile as I managed to catch a head cold last week and I couldn't even check my email cause my eyes hurt so bad. Horrors! I am going to enter this in the basic grey challenge which is to use a basic grey product and this paper is from the cappella collection. Soft and pretty brown, olive green, lilac and blue. No lilac on this card though, pretty sure the orange pumpkin would clash! Starting to think about making some xmas cards soon...
