Casual Friday - CFC 98

Well, it's been almost a year since I've been on here.  Life has settled down a bit, and I have found creative inspiration again!  I have a pregnant friend, who enjoys handmade gifts.   When I read Casual Friday's challenge http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/  , I thought - I could put glitter on a thank you card!  So I added stickles to the star, and here is the final product.  I made her a set of 20.    I stamped the black square first, then added the moon/star and the thank you sentiment.  I hope you enjoy! Stamps:  Unity and Rubbernecker Markers:  Copic Ink:  Memento Other:  Stickles

CAS Friday entry: Punchy

Hey guys - it's been a long time since I have created anything!  I have to say that it's great to be back, and inspired again!  About once a year, I lose my mojo.   I hope the following card shows that I have found my mojo!  I've been very active on pinterest, and found inspiration from Jennifer McGuire's blog (see here http://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2012/04/rainbow-bright.html ).  I had a new EK success die cut that I have been dying to use, but couldn't figure out just how.  So now I have the inspiration for my new die cut, and along comes CAS Fridays challenge ( http://www.cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/ )!  I don't think things could have aligned up any better! Anyway, here is my card.  I hope you enjoy! I cut out the butterfly die cut out of white paper.  I colored the outline black, and then colored in the butterflies.  To provide additional dimension, I folded up their wings, and added a little bling.

Feel better....

My boss has been having issues with a nerve in her arm and hand, so we are getting together to do something nice for her. To start, my co-workers asked if I could create a card. This is the first time I really used a masking technique. The dot stamp by Hero Arts is really large, so I put paper on both sides of the card, so that it would dot just the small area. I colored the flowers with Copic markers, so that they would match the bee. Added stickles, and a few pearls for the finishing touches. Hope this helps her feel better!

CAS Just add color challenge

It just so happened that the CAS Just add color challenge ( http://cas-ualfridays.blogspot.com/2011/10/cfc25.html ), coincided with my husband's birthday! My husband just had a birthday, and he LOVES monkeys. I bought this stamp a while ago, just for this occasion. I also had left over wood grain paper from another project that I was able to use too. Once the images were stamped and put together, I added the googly eyes. I hope you enjoy! Supplies used: Googly eyes, Whipper Snapper stamp, Copics, Memento ink, impression folder, Real wood cherry and kraft paper.

Speedy the cat's challenge: altered items

As a cost saving attempt, I am altering wooden picture frames for Christmas/Birthday gifts for alot of my friends and family. It just so happened that this http://marksfinestpapers.blogspot.com/2011/10/speedy-cats-friends-challenge-week_22.html challenge, coincided with my friend's birthday. This was a wooden frame from Michaels, that I covered with paper, painted black, and added a few flowers. Not to bad for a 50 cent frame! Thanks for looking!

Card set

As I mentioned with the altered frame, I will be making alot of gifts this year. My other idea is to make sets of cards. The set above was for my best friend's birthday. I kept a similar pattern, and changed the stamps and colors. I hope you enjoy!
