Hey Bird!

I believe these two are case-d images from Whipper Snapper designs. I love the cat and bird one, and the layering of SU! punch outs with sentiment. I guess I like matted/layered cards... I really don't have that many that are just a single image on the card stock. I truly like Markie's Mom's cards. I think her blog is in one of my favorites. I remember one of her first cards I saw.... there were about 11 layers on the the front of a card... her stuff is adorable with all the dots.

Me at one

See, I'm a true blond, even as a baby!!! This is me with my little piggy tails at around age one!!

Twice folded card

Here's my attempt at the twice folded card from SCS. I really couldn't understand the directions that one of the members posted... so I had to look and look at all the different gallery uploads. I like how it turned out, but too much work for a card. This will really have to go to someone special.

Random Choice

Well, I thought it would be fun to have a blast from the past. DH and I put over 600 slides on disk. Here is one of me "Prom, June 1982!" I tried to randomly choose a photo from the disk, but kept picking pictures that would be too hard to figure out {so this is random choice #8). Plus the quality of some of my photos from way back when, yikes!! This is a good theme pic right now, since it is prom season. I recall my dress was 'gently used' and I got it for $10. I loved my permed hair at the time. Although I love being frugal now, I can't imagine the costs of proms and weddings if you paid 'full' price for just the right thing!!! I am right out of the 80's don't you think?

Too too cute!

If I do say so myself. Here's an image case-d from a card and Whipper Snapper Designs.... a worm on a hook... hang in there! I didn't want the typical blue water background, but used my cuttlebug with the bubbles to get a better affect! I guess I'll have to give the card to someone who is having a tough day! Sad to say, I know lots of people like that!! Not me, not today, the sun is out, the birds are chirping its a great day!

Two more images by Judith

Here are two more cards with images of Stamps by Judith. Her animals are so cute. I especially like the little chick... they are so easy to draw with a few short choppy lines, a few swirls and your done! I'm having fun trying to get the flower pot shading going right. Thanks Kim, as usual, for all the nice comments. The last posting you liked the basket card... no, I didn't think of making it a mother's day card.. I have a few in my stash, but since business is slow... no one has been asking... I believe I just have a simple birthday greeting inside. I'm giving more cards away as gifts than card fans are buying.... but I still love creating a new cards almost every day!!

Spring Basket

This image is case-d from Stamps by Judith. I go back to her book ever so often. Drawing her images are a little more intense, more detail and more shading. That gives me a good challenge when I've had a hard day. I just lose my mind in drawing. At one point in time I have done basket weaving and floral design... so what a nice way to tie that into card making. Thanks for looking
