Cricut Cardz Challenge #14

This is my first submission to the Cricut Cardz Challenge.  I've been a lurker, but I have such a cute stamp for St. Pat's Day I had to participate this time...

My little frog is from PDDU and the hat from ACY.  Inside is just the cutest High Hopes stamp I got from "Paper Romance."  A little distressing on the edges and embossing on the front with the "Floral Fantasy" Cuttlebug folder, more distressing and a Fiskars border punch on the inside.   I hope you enjoy it!

Doodle Dragon Studio Challenge #4 "Dragons are GirlyToo!!!"

This is my submission for the new Doodle Dragon Studio Challenge "Dragons are GirlyToo!!!"  I used the CB Christmas Stars embossing folder, some pink ribbon and paper from my stash,  Anna Griffin Clear Glass Finish, and lots of stickles bling.  The stamp is the new one from My Pink Stampers collection. Hope you like it!

Busy Friday!

These two birthday cards were the result of a busy Friday in my craft room.
The first is for my DDIL to give to her very good friend's DD. I made this card with as many tactile areas as I could think of.  The orange background was made using the CB Happy Birthday folder.  The body of Big B is covered with flock and the #3 is covered in stickles.  The pink & black ribbon is some that I bought for one of DDS card challenges (scroll down).  Inside I added more ribbon and three coordinating buttons from my stash.   The background paper is from the DCWV "Sweet" Mat Stack.  The second is for my own DS Mike who owns a truck very similar to the image created by Dustin Pike (he's my favorite creator of fun images).  I hope you enjoy them.

Doodle Dragon Studio Challenge 3

This is my submission for the Red, White and Black Challenge for DDS. I used a MS heart border punch and the CB Swiss Dots folder as part of this challenge.

Delia's Card

I received an email request for a card from my idol Dustin Pike. A 10 yr. old girl named "Delia" needed cheering up.  I hope this card will contribute... Thanks for looking.

Way too cute not to share!

I love Dustin Pike's images!  (I may have said that before).  The embossing just popped on this card so I couldn't help but post it... a bad case of "I'm not getting older... I'm getting better"..    at cardmaking anyway...lol

Twinchies on board!

I am obsessed with Dustin Pike images... today I dreamt up all these neat things I could do with his images as "twinchies."  Please enjoy this get well card.

Dustin's Cupcake Monkeys

Dustin Pike's images of monkeys are some of my favorites.  I especially like this little Cupcake story he created in images!

A Bit o' the Irish!

Obviously I'm new to blogging and I haven't figured out how to get the text where I want it...

I don't stamp and I don't generally do very much inking because I'm horrible at it... but I think this St. Patrick's Day card turned out ok...
