Greetings,
Ron and I just returned from a ten day tour of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland and Ireland). I'm in the process of sorting out our photos and will have a more extensive post with pictures soon.

I'm starting to believe that if it wasn't for Pinterest I'd be done as a cardmaker. That site is just so inspirational. Anyway, Our dear son is having a birthday on the 24th of February and this card front is one I totally scraplifted from Pinterest [thank you Karen Squires]. The inside on the other hand (wait, what other hand?) [inside joke, sorry] is all me and Dustin Pike's wonderful monster image. Hopefully he'll see the contrast of the stunning out side next to the humorous inside and be amused. If not, pbbhhhtttthhh!!
Enjoy!

Please keep this quiet... This is a very special card for one of the very special people in my life. This is another scrap lift from "Pinterest." I seem to get a lot of great ideas from there. The creation of this card was not without a few headaches and redo's. I wanted it perfect and ended up doing it twice and parts of it more than that. All the papers were from my stash. I blinged the butterflies (from the Cricut Picturesque" cartridge) with "Viva Pearl Pens and Ice Stickles." I used the "Cuttlebug Leaves" folder for the upper part and a new punch from "EK Success" on the border that I wrapped with green gingham ribbon from my stash. I decorated the inside of the envelope with butterflies in "Old Olive and Sahara Sand" ink from "SU." I'll bet you've even figured out that the person I'm giving this to has a favorite color, green. Now don't spread it around I want my dear daughter's birthday card to be a big surprise. Enjoy!

Good Day everybody! Sun is shining here on the hill. The temps are still on the colder side of very chilly. Browsing "Pinterest" and using scrap papers/cardstock has been high on my to do list this week. I saw a card on Pinterest that used a great lacy border punch to make rainbow layers on a card and thought the idea had merit. Looking through my stash of scrap I landed in my vintage paper folder and thought they might work in a layered look. Do you like it?

Hello from wintery western New York. The weather here has been horrendously cold for the past two weeks. Needless to say I've had plenty of opportunities to play in my craft cave and browse "Pinterest" for card ideas.
The idea for this card came from "Simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com."
I took the basic card and tweaked it to my tastes and ease of construction. This card and the other five like it will be part of my contribution to the "Cards for Soldiers" group located on the Cricut Message board forum here.
I used the Cricut Expression to cut the cross and shadow and layered on solid card stock and mylar paper from my stash. I ran the white matte under the cross through an embossing folder sold at Hobby Lobby from "the Paper Studio." The sentiment was done on my printer. Enjoy!

I hope you enjoy this Easter card that features the artful image created by talented digital artist Dustin Pike. The bg paper is an original by me using SU inks and various egg stamps in my collection. Beats me why I didn't know you were supposed to know all the makers information before you made and a card for the internet. Que sera sera... The bunny is colored with Copic markers.
