father...

I have been working on Fathers Day cards for the past week and this is one of the cards I came up with...I picked out the letters to spell "father" and I actually had them and in colors that coordinated well with the paper I chose to go with it...I got lucky there, its not always so easy...I wanted to keep it simple since the letters say it all...just letters and a bit of designer paper to go with it and thats it! Stamping Up Glue Dots worked great on putting the letters on and giving me some play on lining them up...Fathers Day will be here before you know it!

Supplies: Chipboard, Stamping Up Glue Dots, DCWV Papers

Your kindness is moo-ving...

This post is dedicated to a very special couple Floyd and Margie who have a food stand out at the "Webster Flea Market" their kindness and patience to us has been very moo-ving...Margie was raised on a Farm so I thought she would get a kick out of this card...And their beautiful homestyle reflects their love for it... I have known Floyd for many years and they are both very kind people...If you are ever in Florida please visit "Websters Flea Market" Floyd and Margies stand has delicious food and is "Home of the Ten Inch Sausage". They are located at the end of "F shed" every Monday!...They have yummy food!

One Cool Dad!

I have been working on getting some Fathers Day cards ready since its coming up on June 21st...

Holding onto this chipboard waiting for when something special was needed,I actually pulled out the letters long ago and put them aside but had not covered them in paper until yesterday...I LOVE the look of covered chipboard but its a bit time consuming but once I got the papers out for the card I knew what I wanted to do...I thought this was a nice masculine designer paper which isnt easy to find in a stack of papers since they tend to be more feminine but this worked! The letters were traced on textured paper by DCWV then cut out and I used double back tape to adhere the paper on the chipboard...My Aunt gave me some SU glue dots which this is my first time using and I LOVE them for this kind of card since they give great hold and a bit of play to move the letters around ...The Snoopy (Joe Cool) was colored then cut out and I cut a long piece of scrap pop dots material to pop him up....Paper Glaze was added to his sunglasses for some shine but I never can get this to show up in a photo...Its really neat in person...I was tempted to add something to the left but decided it look better without it...I hope you enjoy todays card! Have a Wonderful Day! Hugs...Cookie :)

Friends

This is the card I made for the SCS Color Challenge to use only white cardstock and make it one layer...I LOVE this kind of card because its usually pretty quick, takes limited supplies (so you don't have to have alot to make it) and the simplicity is so pleasing to the eye...At least it is for me...I used the Friends stamp in Stampin Up's "Love Matters" set...I wanted to make the colors happy and I thought these fit the bill...One of my favorite things to do to a single layer card is put a bit of bling on it for a little something special...and not to take away from the colorful sentiment I decided to go with a white ribbon...I tried colored but it distracted too much from the focus...
Thanks for stopping by! I really appreciate the time you take to visit my blog...Hugs Friends!....Cookie :)

Ok group hug!

Ruff Day...

For the Clean and Simple Challenge over at SCS I used Stampin Up's Bow Wow set (This set was given to me by my Aunt Lori who I call my Fairy Craft Mother) I stamped the dog on kraft paper since using kraft paper was part of the challenge I then cut her out and popped her up for dimension and added some paper glaze to her nose for shine...A bit of pink watercolor was added to her ears and cheeks...If you have time check out the challenge here Have a Wonderful Day!

The Original Thong...

Growing up back in the 70's a type of flip flops were called "thongs" now they are a type of undies...lol...instead of part of it going in between your toes...the undies go between...well you know...
Thats why I just had to title this entry "The Original Thong." This card was made for the CAS17 Challenge over at SCS . I popped up the matted image for dimension and added some orange bling for sparkle...A bit of orange and white ribbon for a tag inspired by a orange and white beach towel.

Have a Wondeful Week!
Hugs...Cookie

Get out and have some fun this summer!!

Starbucks Sisters...

My sister and I like to go to Starbucks together and grab our favorite coffee and catch up...So this is dedicated to all you sisters out there who like to get together and share a cup of java and good conversation...My computer finally died on me we only had it for eight years lol most people can't believe it lasted so long...I loved that computer because I was so comfortable with it...now I have to try and get use to this new one...Its nice but its so different! I don't like change very much I guess...I really liked the photo program I had on the old one...but I am just happy we were able to get another one right away...I wanted to say Congrats to the New CAS Team over at SCS! I hope to do a challenge and post it this week...If you get a chance go check out the newest challenge here.
Have a Wonderful Evening!!!
