Achieve Your Goals

This was a card I made for my friend JJ who just graduated with his masters! The card is from a template I found and then I created an .svg out of it in illustrator. I then went to his school's webpage found an image of the mascot, imported it into illustrator, tweaked it so it was all one image and then cut both the cap and the bronco out in SCAL2.

The wording is from We R Memory Keepers glitter, foil and flock kit: Explore. You can't see in the picture but I rubbed an iridescent glitter sheet over the splatter and wording. LOVE LOVE LOVE these kits and I got a great deal on them at TJ Max recently.

Thanks for stopping by,

My One and Only

I don't recommend making a card like this if you have OCD. Trying to line everything up drove me insane. However, really loved the final card. Will play around with this theme some more in the future.

This was another quick card I made using create a critter and a Martha Stewart Thank-You card kit. Really like the dimensional aspects on this one.

Pink Stamper Color Challenge

Challenge was to use Yellow, Brown and Green.

This was my first time using my brand new Cuttlebug on a project! I love it and only have one folder! LOL. I may have to replace my cartridge addiction with a folder addiction soon.

This was also my second attempt at chalking with VersaMagic's Dew Drop Four Corners Set. The colors used are 72 Sahara Sand, 81 Niagara Mist
82 Wheat and 83 Sage 

The sentiment is from Making Memories. I folded it in half, added dimensionals to the back and chalked the edges. Then cut out a square block out of some brown scraps and attached it. 


Like the overall look on the one. Think the muted colors work well. Need to practice and look up some stamping and chalking techniques soon.

I have glitter in my eye!!!!

Ok so this was my first time ever using a glue pad. I used the Martha Stewart glue pad. I wasn't really impressed with the results. I am finding that hours later the glitter is still rubbing off on the image and isn't as crisp as I would like it to be. Maybe that is user error or maybe it just sucks. However, I do love her glitter and it is now in my chest hair and in my eye. I like to do crafts shirtless as I find clothing restricts my creativity.



I have a lot to learn when it comes to stamping...maybe glue pad was a bit advanced for me.

I will keep trying.

The card is a basic A2 size from a kit I purchased at goodwill.
