staying busy during Hurricane Irene

with all things put away and done for prep of the storm,we all did something to keep busy. Ashton read for her 1st class, Alison sat in front of the TV and Laptop and IPhone, Walt decided to make Gazpacho and had quite the mess going and I kept making a few cards. This one is from the Celebrations cartridge. The balloons were cut at  2 3/4, 3 1/2 and 4. It is a 5x7 card and I also used some string from the twinery I believe..(bought on ebay) It's not quite finished yet, I have to stamp a sentiment on,but my stamps are buried in a safe storm place :)

                

Happy Bird-Day

This is my very 1st project using my new Imagine :) I made this card up for my neighbor Terry who’s Birthday is Tuesday. It is a 5x7 card and was made the morning of Hurricane Irene.. I needed something to do rather then watch the tv until our power goes out. Winds are beginning to gust now..12:10pm right on the predictions schedule.

HB Day Katie

trying to stay busy pre Hurricane Irene. I used Home Décor for the cupcake 3 1/4 inches. The Happy Birthday cut came from Birthday Bash cut at 3 3/4 inches. The light pink and the paisley is from Paisley Parade from K*1. I used stickles gold in between the frosting and cupcake layers. I also had a cupcake stamp I used with Vera Mark ink on the brown cardstock and the dark pink scallop was done using a Martha Stewart punch.

Happy Birthday Katie Walker!

Happy Birthday from Pooh

I whipped this little card up for Ashton’s girlfriend who Birthday is coming up. She just happens to be a Veterinarian Asst. and deals with all kinds of critters.

I used Pooh and Friends for the cricut cut and the beige and white cardstock is from my stash, the yellow is from Core'dinations

:) My Happy Machines :)

I just got my new COZIES from KathiesCozies! They are BEAUTIFUL and my machines are so HAPPY! My workspace is in my basement which really isn’t a finished finished one, so there tends to be a lot more dust then normal. Now there is No More Dust to worry about. The Cuttlebug, the Cricut and the Imagine

I found Kathy through some other blogs that I follow and I am so so glad I did :) Her sister even does beautiful crochet flowers and if I’m not mistaken I actually had ordered from her too awhile back. :)

Thank You so Much Kathy they turned out Beautiful!

Fall Leaves

a gypsy cut card I made.The leaves are cut directly out on the front of the card and then I backed them with different colored cardstock. I have to look up the details for the leaves,not sure which cartridge I used for them. The card stock is from stash :) The card is a 5 x 7; I used Elegant Edges for the mat the verse is on inside, that I found on the internet

Every Flower

this weeks D2D weekly challenge freebie

I used my Elegant Edges (pg 41 oblong) to cut a mat for the digi stamp. I made two cards and all I did was change the little buttons. The other papers are from a stash of scrap paper I have :)

Pumpkin Patch

this is from D2D weekly images. I used my copics and Elegant Edges for the oblong mat cut at 4 1/2 and 5 for the shadow effect.The ribbon is from Reasonably Ribbon. The card is a 5x7

New Home congrats

Ashton asked that I make her a card for a co-worker that just moved into a new home. This is what I came up with :)

I used:

Elegant Edges – circle border @ 3/4” and 1/2”, Beyond Birthdays – house at 1 1/2”,Club Scrap kit Blossom – card, stash –white card stock for houses and inside, jute ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and twine from Ebay purchase(which might have come from Twinery I think). The card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 standard.

I put the houses on foam tape for a bit of definition and slightly edged with distressed ink.

I really enjoyed this because I finally used some of the gorgeous papers I have from the monthly Club Scrap club I belonged ages ago!

sunday playtime

I decided a rainy day was the perfect time to play with 2 of the new cartridges I got :) Robotz and Toy Story

1st the robot Ashton picked out, I think a bookmark for that one and the Mr. Potato Head for Alison, “ hey Spud” as she is frequently called while watching tv..lol

She’ll probably just stand him near her computer in her bedroom

the robot is at 2 1/2” and definitely could be much larger with those tiny pieces and potato is at 3”, he also could be larger. I used the jelly roller white to add some detail :)

now on to a wedding card …

a card for the shower and the gift

I had only a few hrs. to throw together a card for Ashton to put with her Bridal Shower gift to Lindsay that is on Saturday. The catch is that she is heading to Vermont with a few friends for 4 days tomorrow evening and had to get the gift to the other bridesmaid so she could take it.

I used a digital Hedgie I just bought from Dragonsmoore ! We LOVE HEDGIES!! The gift she bought is tons of yummies from Stonewall Kitchen. The crate came from AC Moore as well as the Hydrangea, which are Lindsay’s wedding colors :)

I colored the Hedgie with my Copics :)

I used Elegant Edges for the scallop border and the card is a 5 x 5

it all started ..

on my days off! July 18 & 19th

You know when you aren’t told a thing, then hear from the grapevine, then are told by the BIG Boss that nope, things will be this way, don’t worry about it!

Then you are told via email,(guess they have no .....!) that it will be a totally different way and is done on your days off as to avoid face to face.. I couldn’t help myself! this is going on the wall in the office :)

thanks for the vent :)
I colored this with my Copics and it is Stella from Bugaboo Stamps and the frame is fit to page size on Elegant Edge cartridge
