Must be Summer!

 


Here is another sweet little yellow card that I made for a friend to give to her great niece for her 7th birthday...the party will be held at one of our local resort areas, where her grandparents have a cottage....

It is so fun to be finally be able to stamp just for fun, and now that I am really learning how to use the Copics, it makes using and coloring these images so much fun.

This is another image from ATS....love the summer images that Christine brought out this year....I bought these images in June and am finally starting to use them.....

I am on a self-budgeted lack of purchasing new supplies(did that make sense)....lol...Trev and I have a Mexican holiday planned for this coming winter...and I need to stop spending....also our son is getting married in November and a new grand baby on her way....all things that are going to require great gobs of money in the near future....so I decided to really start using up what I have here....

So I hope you enjoy my card!

Later Gaters!

A Bright Sunshine Hello

Well I have been busy once again making some cards...not sure what I am going to do with them now that they are made...I guess I will post them to my BLOG...I had thought that I would maybe try out of a design team...but the one I was looking at required a one year commitment...hmmmm....I thought I am not sure I can commit for a year...so instead of keeping these little babies under wrap...I thought I would just post them...

This little bundle of sunshine is a Digi download from ATS...love her stamps....it was just calling me to make a bright and sunshiny card....so hence the yellow card that I came up with...

"PHOTO REMOVED FOR SUBMISSION"


I used my copic markers to color in the image...it was so fun to do...I used a white gel pen to give the bikini the polka dots that I needed to finish the inside of the card.....

 


I used pieces of the same paper from the card front to complete the inside....I just love this saying...it is one of AmyR's stamps that are also available at ATS...all in all I felt wonderful once this card was complete...really made me feel happy....

I think I may drop this card into the mail so that my grand daughter may have some happy mail....

Later Gaters!

Bradi's Birthday Invites

Well our grand daughter is turning two soon and her mom asked me to make some invitations for the party...well anyone that knows me well....knows how many stamps I own....I asked my daughter what is the theme...and she replied Princess....well this is the best that I could do in the Princess theme for stamps....

 


Pretty basic stamps....I stamped the image and colored it with some Copic markers...then used some Nestabilities to cut both the white and pink layers....I then punched some holes on each side and threaded the ribbon through the back...popped the layers with some pop dots and layered it onto the DSP...pretty simple...added the flowers for a little bit of bling....the inside I generated on the computer and layered it onto the brown paper....finished it off with a little bling on the stamped image.....

 


All in all I am happy with the finished product.....hope the children that are receiving them will be happy to get a little bit of happy mail....

Bradi's birthday is on August 10...but we are anxiously waiting the birth of her baby sister....seems to be taking so long.....my daughter Christine is so uncomfortable....and the Dr. says it will be any day now.....I am so happy to be adding another grand child to our mix...this one will make it number 7....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Later Gaters!
