The weather is dark, damp and gloomy so I decided to create something bright and cheerful.  Get your sunglasses ready....

The card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

Red CS 4 x 5 1/4
Bright green CS 3 3/4 x 5
Bazzil Swiss Dots ~ Black cut with my Nesties

Have a wonderful day!!!!  :D

My First "Tunnel" Card

I found a great blog with free digi images and great tutorials.  I got the directions for the card here and the digi images here and here.

So here is my card.

Isn't this a fun card?  I used leftover CS pieces, Nestabilities, CB, digi images (colored by Curt), computer generated sentiment, black fine point marker and ATG.  This was a really easy card but I think it looks pretty impressive.  :D

Just for fun cards

These four cards were made using:

K & Co double sided paper
MTC
ATG
embroidery floss
needle
misc cardstock scraps
buttons
tacky glue

I had a lot of fun making these.  I decided to take pictures of them in a frame just so they would have a different look.  I think they would look nice grouped together.  I only had one frame or I would have tried it.  Thanks for looking.  :D

Cookie Lee Invitations

I was asked to make some invitations for a Cookie Lee party.  The idea was to go with a postcard style invitation.  I really like how these came out.  Let me know what you think and thanks for looking.
