Your Birthday Popped Up..

How cute is this stamp set? Makes the perfect card for male or female..I absolutely love a card that can be either or. Or you could leave off the sentiment that goes with the popcorn and make it an invitation for a movie party or something...the Sky's the limit.

Nothing too exciting going on in my neck of the woods. I was very lucky last week when I went to therapy. I tortured myself so bad that my therapist did not put me on my stomach and bend my leg up....woohoo! Of course she is still gonna do it she says so she can feel how I'm coming along, but the more I can hold her off, the better for me. I also got a different leg brace that allows my leg to bend when I walk. It is so much easier to walk and sit in a chair. I just love my therapist.

I did work on a few cards today, so will post as I get pictures taken.

Tata for now........

Halloween Round 2

One More

I have no idea where this card went to...I uploaded it with my last post and its not there...strange...it must be in cyberland somewhere...haha

Or, I bet it will show up after I post this...now that would be even stranger!

Halloween Cards Round One

I thought that I would show you how busy I have been the last few days making cards to share with you. I am taking a break now on my card making for a few days. Sitting all day has my back acting up. So, I will get back to it over the weekend.

I'm not going to explain all I did to make the cards, so any questions you have on the card, just post a comment and I will get back to you.

Greetings

Ok, so how cute is this little dog? I know, very cute indeed. I was visiting a scrapbook website and they had this video on it, so I'm thinking, ok, I will bite. I watched the video and low and behold, here is this lady stamping cards with this stamp set and another one that I got.

This set is really cool in the fact that you can decorate the dogs. The set comes with the fixings for the color, the bow and the jacket...I don't know if its a jacket or not, but that's what I'm calling it. There are other designs besides the poke a dots.

I used paper from a stack that was bought at Michales long long time ago. The ric rak is some that I purchased through Close To My Heart. The sentiment "Greetings!" is included in the stamp set.

Therapy for my knee is going good. I haven't been tortured yet...key word "yet" The torture comes when my therapist decides its time to make me get on my stomach and she bends my leg up to my butt...yeah, that's right..all the way up there....I do believe its coming this week though. I have been trying sooo hard to bend it myself so she doesn't have to torture me so much. We will see how this week goes.

That's it for now..tata and see you soon........

Celebrate The Season

Here is one of my Christmas cards that I plan on sending out this year. I have four designs. Most everything is done except I have to put it all together. That's usually the thing that is the quickest of the whole procedure of making my Christmas cards.

This stamp was stamped first with versamark and then I embossed in gold. Finally I added some glitter.

The little red poinsettia has a brad in the middle. Not sure if I will add the little rhinestones on the cards since that will probably cost more to mail. Who knows though.

Still recovering from my knee surgery, which will be three weeks on Wednesday. I go to therapy tomorrow...how I hate to even think about it. Ive been doing my exercises every day, which is good for me, since I don't do usually do them..LOL. This time around I want to get better as fast as possible, so I'm not messing around.

That's it for now..have a wonderful day..tata for now...

Halloween Kitty

I was able to do a few cards yesterday while I had my leg propped up. It wasn't that easy, but I managed. The trick is not having to get up much to find things.

This cute little kitty is a QuicKutz die that I got at Archivers about a month ago. The white that the cat is mounted on is also a QuicKutz die. I absolutely love these QuicKutz die cuts. They are so easy to use. No guess work as to where things go.

I added some stickles to the cats eyes and added some ribbon that I got at Papertrey Ink on the side.

The "Happy Halloween" comes from a clear dollar stamp that I bought at Michaels long time ago. Pattern paper is from my stash.

Pretty easy card to put together once you have your kitty all cut out.

I managed to make three more Halloween cards which I will share with you in the upcoming days...enjoy and tata for now....

Glimmer Mist Christmas Card

I guess I should of used a different colored background...its suppose to be gold...cant really tell though. Kinda looks yellow. I'm really out of practice when it comes to taking pics of my cards these days. Not to mention I have had to adjust to using Photoshop Elements instead of Photoshop.... I might get the hang of this new program one day. So you will have to bear with me here.

This card was stamped and embossed. I embossed in gold. I colored the tree with Glimmer Mist..this is new to me. I tried it out for the first time at Archivers. I signed up to do a Christmas cards workshop..which this is a card that I did. I added some rhinestones to the tree and used my gold pen to color on the side of the white cardstock. The actual card is a QuicKutz die in the shape of a tag. Pretty cool. I loved this workshop so if you have an Archivers by you, its totally worth it. The actual class is "Timeless Traditions" There is also a Copic Christmas class that I would like to sign up for also, but depends on my knee. Not very easy sitting in a chair too long with a huge brace on your leg.

Guess thats it for now...I might venture into my craft room tomorrow and see how long I can sit there and try to create something for Halloween to show you. I got some things in the mail that I had ordered before my surgery and they are just waiting for me to play with. I cant wait.

More later. Tata for now......
