Winkie the Red Nosed Reindeer (Rudolphs Cousin)

Hi! Hope you are doing great! And I hope you enjoyed seeing my Aunt Lori' wonderful Halloween creations...She does such a great job and she really enjoys sharing them...I have been on a long break from card making and was inspired to get back into it when I saw this CUTE Hero Arts stamp at Michaels...As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make a clean and simple card and to add a bit o' bling to his nose and some gingham ribbon to keep his neck warm for fun...I am thinking this just might be my 2011 card this year...I really need to keep it simple since I make ALOT! I hope you like it...I am glad to be back...Thanks for stopping by today...Have a wonderful week! Ok now you know I have to play Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer :D

Happy Halloween! A Yummy Card by Guest Designer Lori Hamilton

Happy Halloween!! I am ready for some Trick or Treaters to stop by...Hope we get a few, last year there werent very many...A special treat for me was having these CUTE cards to share with you that my Aunt Lori made...Arent they adorable! This is the last of the three and I wanted to share with you not only the outside but how Lori does the insides too! On the outside she used so many wonderful details like the spider web punches and ribbon she thread through a slot on the card! She is really mastering her copic shading too! Wish I could...On the inside she adds a Martha Stewart envie but covered it in coordinating papers...how clever is that! And on the right you can see where she put her green paper through the spider web cuttlebug folder...She thinks of everything! I love the matted labels too...I wanted to give a shout out to Sue who emailed me asking if Lori had a blog...Sue loved her work...I passed the message on Sue and Lori says maybe one day when she retires...but until then I can post more of her designs in the future...Thanks so much to Lori Hamilton for letting me showcase her work and sending me these CUTE cards...We love you!!!

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!
