Cards for Andrea!

The other day I posted my "Hey Pumpkin" Card. It's for the girl who cuts my hair. She orders cards to give to her husband, sending them to his work and such! How cute is that?!

These are the other 3 cards I made for her.

For this card I got inspiration from this months lift from the October Card Challenge on Scrapbook.com, which you can see here.

No challenges for this one! Can you believe that?

For this card, I used a sketch from Quintessentially Me. There's a whole bunch of card sketches on her blog, go check them out!

In your Lifetime

I've had this layout in my mind for a while now and have been jotting down ideas every now and then. This layout has a picture of my nieces and tells them what I hope they see in their lifetime.

To make the lines for the journaling, I used a piece of cardboard and dipped in in yellow paint.

Fight like a GIRL

I made this card for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I used Sketch #137 from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge. This was the challenge a couple weeks ago.

Keep on tuggin' card & an altered frame!

I used the Sketch #130 at The Sweet Stop, which came with a twist of using something recycled. I used brown packaging that came in a box last Christmas, yes... I saved it, lol. It's behind the white circle, you can't see much of it though. And Week 55 at The Paper Variety, which was to create a card using an ocean theme.

A couple of weekends ago, Joey & I went garage saling. I found this wooden frame and knew I wanted to alter it. It was already white, so I just added some cute paper to it.

I call the baby "Little Pudge", since she's so pudgy!!

Challenges galore!

I made this card for my Mom for her Birthday!

I used Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #138 for this card. I thought I had until Saturday to upload, but the due date was 44 minutes ago... oops!

And a lot of Basic Grey's Hopscotch!

This is the sketch for the October Card Challenge on Scrapbook.com. Please feel free to use my sketch for inspiration.

I had the idea for a card in mind FIRST, then made a sketch. So, I can't see it any other way than a monsters mouth, lol.

To make the teeth look lifted like that, I put adhesive on the top then put a pop dot on the bottom and curled the bottom out a bit.

The missing tooth, hehe.

Hey Pumpkin!

It's fall..... but you wouldn't know it by our weather! It was 96 today! Yuck! I want cool weather, and I could do without this wind too, but other than all that, it is in fact, fall.

I made these cards using Techno Stamper Lunchtime Sketch #195.

A friend asked if I could make a couple cards for her to give to her husband. The one on the right is for her.

I stamped the pumpkin on the orange printed paper, cut it out and stamped it again on the back paper. I added pop dots to give it some dimension.

Warm Wishes

I don't think I've ever made a Christmas card before December 15th at the earliest! But I thought I'd try something different this year!

I made this card using Techno Stamper's Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge #194. This is my first time participating in a challenge at the Techno Stamper Blog.

I'm sure you're like me, where you have a bunch of challenge blogs bookmarked. I have a little tip to share about how I organize mine. I have them all separated on the day that the Blog posts.. marking the start of a new challenge and the due date as well. It makes it sooo much easier!

I colored in the hat and gloves with ink, water and a tiny paint brush. I went over them with Glossy Accents to make them stand out.

Welcome to the world little one!

Remember how I said my niece was super goofy? Here's proof! We picked tomatoes, yellow squash and zucchini from our garden in our backyard. We even found a tomato with a nose built in, so we had to draw a face on it!

Pure Goof.


Joey & I went to Disneyland last weekend and they have a place set up with someone carving pumpkins.. how cute is this Finding Nemo one?


I made this card for my boyfriend's friends girlfriend, who is pregnant with a little boy. I used Mojo Monday's Sketch #209 for this card.
