PACKER FAN

Oh ya gotta dress your dog up for Halloween. Cooper is a Brett Favre Fan!

Go Packers Go

The ultimate reason is 'because'

I used a pencil eraser to make the 'ornamental' dots on the Happy Holidays card.

Did a little idea casing from the PaperCrafts magazine, Holiday Cards! The Santa is cut out and pieced together and made into a tag.Instead of magic mesh on the blue card stock, I have been using just basic white drywall tape. Such a cool and cheap texture.

I really like the embellishment using a safety pin, adding other images or fiber with it.

Made the stripped paper behind the snowman. I looked through all my patterned paper and I must have used up all of last years Christmas theme paper. But how easy to use a ruler and markers to make your own stripes.

Okay, enough thinking of the holidays, need to do some more 'Fun' Creative Greetings!

The eyes have it!

This Creative Greeting card is for my mom who had cataract surgery today! Get Well Soon!!

Fun is just a point of view!

Looks like all these posts are in a purple theme! It's amazing when you look through old magazines and see cards that you get an instant feel for creating. The SNOW one was actually a summer party card sample. I liked how the eyelets were placed. And love the snowmen!

I like scraplifting the SU sea scenes. This fish is intense with the scales and bubbles, but he is so cute! Inside it reads 'happy birthday fishes!" get it? instead of wishes??? hee hee! Enjoy the day!

Imagination is the foundation of reality

Today's Creative Greeting cards are a varity of seasons and celebrations. Holly wanted to know why I started making Holiday cards... it's that time of year where everyone thinks ahead and the holidays are less than 2 months away!

I love the GHOST - he's scraplifted from Hero Arts - cute and simple!

Cute Primitive snowman!!

The faux stamps are from Splitcoast stampers, it is so versitile to add what ever image you want to highlight.

Sorry about the slight blurrrrr....this is a shaker card... little red & green sequins inside a little baggie. Love shakers, but they take time to create.

Circles, Circles, & Circles

Wow, and odd creative block, all of these cards madetoday have some sort of circle in the bottom corner. All are different themed, but a variation of the same design. This was very subconscious of me!!

Patterned Paper in the background

Today's post are all cards with colorful patterned paper for the background. I really like the style of Maryse Carrier, a French Canadian artist. The cat and turtle are characters 'scraplifted' from her designs. The 'beunique' is from TAC. And some of the images pop out with foam tape. Other than the words, the characters are all hand drawn by me, prdesigns of Creative Greetings... my own little faux card company!

Manic Monday

I didn't want to, but it's time to start on Holiday Greetings. Here are four samples of my hand drawn cards to start out the holiday season.

Monday, Monday

Sunny Saturday Posts

Today's post are cards I made last year. They are the bigger greating cards and not the invitation size. I like the colors.

M monogram cards

These cards are a sampling for a M monogram. The purses and shoes have a little glitter gel pen highlighting them.

Each envelope is lined with matching paper.
The envelopes will also have a matching shoe or purse on front and back.

The weathermen were right!!!!

Can't believe it, but it's true.... snow on the pumpkins!

Those weathermen are never right, so what's the deal this year? So, instead of Creative Greetings right now, I'll show you the view from the front... snow on my mums... and the view from my back door! Looks like January 12 not October!

Cards for hump day

Today I'm 'showcasing' cards I made yesterday. I've kept all of my Card Making Magazines and have started looking back through them to get new ideas. All of the cards are carefully drawn (copied) by me!

I like the Asian ispired card. The swirl background is the shaving creame technique.

The pear is layered water color pencils that I blended with an older blender pen, with a homemade formula of glycerine, distilled water and alcohol. I finally figured out how to make the sketch lines look less than perfect.


The birthday card is part of the OSW (one sheet wonder) technique I tried over the weekend. The flowers are inspired by a TAC stamp.

Cooler Temps in Illinois

Enjoy a spooky card tour!

I fugure if I had a few pictures every day, you can view my entire Creative Greeting card sampling in, oh about 2 years!!! Come and enjoy. Today's selection is some spooky halloween greetings.

Well, I thought I would find a way to show off my Creative Greeting Cards... so I followed someone elses blog and got started. The cards on display today, are some that I 'cased' or as I like to say, 'scraplift'. Which means I essentially copied everything... with my own drawings.

Well, I'm off to preview my work and see if this is an option for me to display my work to friends and family all over.

Happy Day
