Happy Birthday Sandi

Today is my sister, Sandi, birthday.  We won't say which one for her.  She will always be younger than me.  We always laugh at some of our old pictures and what we wore.  I decided this would be a fun card for her.

Sandi is the one on the left.  I am the one with the missing teeth on the right.  You have to love the matching outfits.  What fun we had as kids.

So Happy Birthday to my Sister Sandi.  Hope you have many more.

Exciting News

I have some exciting news to share today.  I am now on the design team for Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps.  I just can't wait to get started.

I will be starting making projects for Prickley Pear starting in October.  In the mean time, be sure and follow along on their Blog for great inspiration and check out their great products in their store.

Twisted Tuesday Challenge

Another Twisted Tuesday Challenge is here.  Today's challenge is to use primary colors and the twist is to use buttons.  I decided to use one of my favorite stamp sets from Papertrey Ink called Everyday Button Bits.  The paper is from Summer Fresh by Simple Stories.  It is always a good day when you get to use buttons in your stamp sets.

Be sure and check out the other ideas on Twisted Tuesday Challenges.

Quilt Birthday Card

Today I am posting a birthday card for a co-worker whose birthday is coming up.  She used to own a quilt store so I thought the perfect card for her would be this card.  I originally got the idea for the card HERE.  I have always loved quilts.  It is amazing that I like the same fabrics as papers that I buy.  They all seem to have the same ideas in their designs.

I started with 7/8 inch squares and pieced together.  What really made this card was the embossing.  I thought it looked like it had been quilted.  The sentiment is from PTI Happy Birthday set.

New Home Card

My sister recently moved in to a new house in Texas so I decided to make her a house warming card.  I had purchased a new stamp set from Papertrey Ink called "Summer Hills" which I instantly fell in love with because of the quilt designs.

I colored the quilt blocks with my copics and love the vibrant colors.  The picture itself was cut out using a PTI die. 

Hope my sister enjoys the card.  Sure was fun to make.

Imagine That Challenge #11

I really love digital images.  They are so easy to work with and the storage issue is not a problem.  I purchased this cute image from Imagine That.  It is called sweet tea.  Perfect timing for me since I needed to send out an anniversary card this week.

I used my copic markers to color the birds and tea cup.  Such a sweet image.  Be sure and check out Kris other digital images.  They are so cute.

Your Next Stamp

Your Next Stamp is looking for new Design Team members for their new Digital Line.  Since I am a huge fan of digital images, I thought I would apply.  My house is full of stamps and I find that the digitals are the way to conserve on space and they are to versatile with sizing.  It is limitless what you can do with a digital stamp.

The hardest problem I had with submitting my application for this Design Team was to list 3 of my favorite projects.  That is like picking your favorite child.  Very hard to do. 

 This cowgirl will have to be my current all time favorite card.  I absolutely love this image.  So adorable.

 This was a calendar I made with an acrylic frame that I made for my nieces rabbit show auction.  This was a digital image from Angels Landing.  I just love any kind of animal.

This last card I picked was a House Mouse.  Of course another animal card.

I really enjoy working with my copic markers.  It reminds me of when I was a child and how I loved to color. 

So now I'm off to do a little more creating.
