A Treat for Halloween! Guest Designer: Lori Hamilton

Happy Halloween Everyone! I have a special treat in store for you...I will be featuring the card designs of Lori Hamilton today and tomorrow...I LOVE her work! She is great at layouts and details...Isnt this the cutest!! Here she used a Kraftin Kimmie image colored with copics and layered in complimenary colors! Stamping up glitter brads were used as embellishments and Lori used her cuttlebug on the green and orange paper for interest...I LOVE the punched out bat she added also...Please come back later on tonight for a new post of another of Lori' Halloween cards! Have a great day!

EEK and BOO!

Hi! Hope everyone is doing great! I am ready for the summer to be over and fall to begin arent you? Its been really hot here in Florida! Today I wanted to share with you a card I made using some brand new Recollection stickers I found at Michaels...They always have the cutest 3-D stickers for the holidays...They used to be only .99 cents which was a steal! Now they are 1.29 but worth every penny! They make for a cute card fast....I just took the stickers off the acetate and placed them on a white piece of cardstock (I tend to place them just like they are on the acetate cause they are usually just the right balance) then I matted them and added a spider web border on the bottom...Some of these cute little guys have googlie eyes and the spider is fuzzy and soft...Some "Happy Halloween" ribbon was added for fun! Quick and Easy... Thanks so much for stopping by...Have a great weekend!

Hi! I hope you are having a wonderful week so far! Today I am featuring one of my favorite card designers, her name is Lori Hamilton...Lori LOVES creating and does it with such a passion...Isnt this card beautiful! I just LOVE the papers and colors she chose and all the details like the side border punch and tiny pearls...One of my favorite things she does is coordinate her envelopes to match (as pictured here) I just LOVE that!! I was the lucky recipient of this wonderful card along with several others she has made me over the years...Thank you Lori for all your wonderful work and creativity that you share with so many! You're the best!!

Close to You...

I have been on a Penny Black fest for a while now...Their stamps are just so darn cute! This is a Mimi stamp I recently got from my "Fairy Craft Mother" (thats what I call my Aunt) and speaking of my Aunt I will be posting a card made by her this week too...Its so pretty and I cant wait to share it with you...For this Mimi card I added a button and used some dental floss to thread it since its so easy to thread then some gingham ribbon tags to the right and some bling on a few of the flowers...I have been on a gingham kick too...I couldnt help but think of the Carpenters song "Close to You" when I named my post...Now I have to post that song! Enjoy! Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a great week...

Hello Friend...

Hi! Hope today is finding you well! I have been having a blast making cards with Penny Black stamps...They are one of my all time favorite! Their images are always so cute and stamp a very crisp image everytime. On this card I stamped the image twice so I could cut out both of the mice and pop them up using dimensionals...I used my three in one punch by Martha Stewart to add the butterfly with a bit of bling in the center for interest...Then a bit of gingham ribbon on the right side for fun...Thanks so much for stopping by today! Have a wonderful week...

Mimi is making cupcakes!

Hi! Hope you are doing great this weekend...Its pouring the rain here right now but we need it so its a good thing...My Aunt recently gave me several Penny Black stamps and this cutie was one of them...I just love Mimi! She is so cute and fun to color....On this card I cut out and popped up the cupcake (and added some red bling for the cherry) and then popped up her hat too...I found some old ribbon in my stash that went well with the colors I used and it gave a little something extra...Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

Crusin Mimi

I just LOVE these cute stamps by Penny Black...This one is called "Mimi on the Go"...My Aunt was so sweet to get me several of these stamps recently and I couldnt wait to ink them up! On this card I stamped and cut out the image, added brads on the wheels and made a little scene with blue paper for sky, designer paper for land and cloud and circle punches finish it off...She was so much fun to color too! Hope your doing great and keeping cool during this summer weather...Thanks for crusing by!
