Create Card December 2012 Blog Challenge

This is a card I put together for a Create Blog challenge. I love the combination of blue and yellow. The paper is DCWV and of course I used my Slice with some border punches. Also, one thing new I did was I hand basted some ribbon and added it as a unique trim. Hope I win?

Happy Birthday Card

This is a very frilly shabby chic birthday card. I don't make these often so it was lots of fun! I used a stack from DCWV called Coral Couture which always looks great!

I used a few different punches from Martha Stewart and EK Success which are so great for quick projects. I also added some lace under a very sheer pink ribbon and it was super easy to apply with my XYRON machine. Oh, and last but not least I added a stamp saying Happy Birthday with some embossing powder and Versamark.

Over all it really was a easy and creative card to make.

I can't wait to give it to my wonderful friend tomorrow.

Happy Scrapping Everyone

Favorite Sympathy Card

Thought I would share this beautiful sympathy card with everyone. It is on of my favorites and was so easy to make. The paper is from K&COMPANY and the butterfly was made with my Making Memories SLICE.

My Husbands First Baby Picture

This is a layout I did using My Mind's Eye paper from "The Lost and Found" collection.  I made the baby carriage using The Slice and I used the "Baby" cartridge.  I also used some stamps from "The Lost and Found" stamp collection.  I distressed the pendant using Tim Holtz ink and buffer pad then added some gems and a little ribbon.

DCWV Card for the Scrap-a-Holic Challenge

Just wanted to share my recent submission to the DCWV July Stack-a-Holic Challenge.  I am sure most of you know if you follow their blog that they have a monthly challenge.  They require that you use one of their stacks to create a card based off a sketch they provide.

Well, here is mine.  I used the Coral Couture Stack and made the tag using my Slice.  The cartridge I used was Sentiments!  The trim punch was from Martha Stewart and I just added a little fiber ribbon.  Hope you lite it.
