Hope Aug 14

Welcome to my blog!

I created this card using a fantastic new image released at the Whimsy store created by Marika Collins called  Hope. This is a wonderful image honoring breast cancer, so I thought that the card should be bold and have a big statement and have a lot of pink. I think I have accomplished that, I think we have all been touched by someone in our life that has struggled with some form of cancer. So with this card I honor each and everyone of them.

Supplies: Bazzill cardstock, Momenta patterned paper, Whimsy mini lace corner doily 1 die, spellbinder cut a mat create 2A, copic markers, miscellaneous flowers, Prima leaves, Stardust Stickles by Ranger, distress ink.

Have a fabulous day and keep creating.

Back to school challenge

Welcome to my blog!

Today is a  challenge day on the Whimsy inspires blog , the theme is back to school. So I created a card using a great image from Lia Stampz called News Girl from Whimsy Stamps.

I guess this card can be used for a lot of different themed cards like, getting a new job, telling someone some news or the one I used is back to school. She kind of looks like she could be a history teacher ready to give you some current events. 

I think about going back to school and it makes me think that summer is going to turn into fall. I want summer to last a lot longer for sure. The weather here has been amazing to say the least but I guess the kids don't go back to school till the beginning of September so it's a few weeks away. The gardens are still growing and the flowers are still blooming so till school starts I have to stay in summer mode.

I hope to see you create a back to school masterpiece and enter our challenge this month to win some amazing images from Whimsy Stamps.

Here is my card.

 A bit closer with my coloring.

Mothers Love July 31

Hi welcome back.

I just finished this card for a friend of mine, she asked me if I could make her a card and include the baby's name on it, Charley.  She wanted it girly....well there is not more of a girly color than pink. I instantly thought of this great image from Whimsy Stamps by designer  Crissy Armstrong called Mothers Love. This image was released a couple months ago in honor of mother's day but I thought it would make a wonderful baby card. I sure hope she likes it.

 A bit closer look at the image, the hands make a heart around the babys' feet

Thank you for stopping by again to see what I have created

Hope it gets your creative juices going and you create something wonderful as well.

For Danny Happy Birthday.

This is a post of a card that I did for a really special young boy.

 This young boy is 5 years old and has been diagnosed with a form of cancer called DIPG ( Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) this is an inoperable brain tumor and for his birthday he just wants people to send him cards.  His name is Danny Nickerson and he has a facebook page called Danny's Warriors.  I clicked on this page and he has the most infectious smile, I had a great big smile when I seen how happy he was with all his mail.... keep it coming!ABC action news did an piece on him and here is the link. As soon as I seen this article I picked out a suitable stamp and proceeded to make him a card. I thought that every little boy loves dragons.  I wish Danny and his family the very best and hope that his radiation treatments will give him the life that he deserves. My thoughts and prayers are with him during this time in his life. I hope that my small card can offer him a smile or a bit of happiness. I see on Facebook  that he is receiving a ton of cards... well fan mail and good wishes from well wishers. 

 My dragon closer and colored.

Have a wonderful day and my thoughts are with Danny .

Theses images are wonderful and  the detail in them is amazing. This image is called Daenya, it took me a bit to do her hair but I love the challenge of getting all the lights and dark colors in it. Also who doesn't love the thought of mermaids and the ocean, that's why I think I chose the aqua color  cause its a really great ocean color. I added the pearls cause well.... they come from the ocean.

 A bit of a closer picture so you can see all the detail in the hair.

Kate.

Welcome to my blog!

I just finished up this super cute birthday card, I have it on the Whimsy blog but thought that I would share it on my blog as well. This is an image called Kate from designer Marika Collins available at the 

Whimsy Store. 

This image file containing a JPEG and PNG version of the image, each at 300dpi resolution.

Digital files can be re sized, rotated or flipped. Use the PNG transparent background version to layer digital images.

 Believe it or not digital images are wonderful and super easy to work with,  don't get me wrong I still love touching and feeling the stamp and ink. But it is so awesome to be able to re size and play with digital images.

So here is my creation, made as a girlfriend birthday card. 

Who doesn't like a little retail therapy and maybe lunch or dinner on their birthday. I absolutely love to get dressed up, throw on a awesome pair of high heels and go out. I have a big weakness for a great pair of heels and look for any reason to wear some. So this image called to me, with heels and a matching dress, it fits that theme wonderfully. 

A bit closer look at Kate colored with copic markers. I added some liquid pearl to her headband and some sparkle to make her pop a bit.

Have a crafty day!
