Trick Or Treat


Hi,


Today I have a new card to share. This one I made for Halloween using the Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge 31. I thought that I would get a kind of early start on my Halloween Cards. The pattern paper is Karen Foster Designs and the cardstock is DCWV. I got the pumpkin stamp and ribbon from Hobby Lobby. The "trick or treat" stamp one of the $1 studio g stamps. I also used black ink to ink the edges of the pp.
If at all possible please keep my family in your prayers. My great-grandmother is in the hospital and we don't know if she is going to live much longer.
Have a great weekend,
~Amber~

New Card and Altered Comp. Book



Today I have new card to share. I am sorry that the picture is so dark. Just incase you can't see it the middle circle has a "K" in it. I made this card using the Taylored Expressions Cupcake challenge 29. The pp is by K&C0. I used my Cricut to make all of the little cirlces. The card is 4x4 and all of the circles are 1". You will never believe what happened to my Cricut mat while cutting the circles. I was taking all of my circles of then the mat cracked so now my mat has a crack the is about 1.5" long on it. I could not believe it.
I also made an altered composition book yesterday. The pp on it is also K&Co. The only thing that I didn't like about it was that all of the glitter on the pp was falling off. So I coated it with Mod Podge to lock in all of the glitter. I also used a new set of foam alphabet stamps to stamp my name on it. The stamps are by Heidi Swapp. These are the double sided stamps that look like little files. I got them at Tuesday Morning for 2.99. This is the "She Font", but I also bought the "Lemonade Font". The ink is Colorbox Fluid Chalk Inks "Orchid".
Have a Great Weekend

"P" Card


Today I have a new card to share with you all. This card was made using the Taylored Expressions Cupcake Challenge Sketch for this week. She has a great blog. Her blog address is posted on the side bar. Anyway I made this card for my grandmothers birthday. I wanted to make it a little more personal so I added her first initial in the circle. I love the pp so much. It is from K&Co. When making the card I realized that I didn't have any ribbon to match so I found some brown ribbon the a white dots all of the front and turned it around to get a solid brown ribbon. Have a nice weekend!

It's August and I Have a New Card




Hi Everyone,


It is the first day of August and I have a new card to share with you. I was so happy to make this card because it gave me a chance to use some of my new stuff. The pp is from the "Berry Sweet Collection" by K&Co. I got the ribbon from the $ spot at Target. They have some really pretty ribbon sometimes. I also used a "skittle" for the center of the flower. The flower was made using my Cricut. Here is a close up of the flower.

Have a great weekend.
