3 Cards, One post, I am still at it.

I did get behind in posting, but I have been making cards. I am filling an order for more sympathy cards. I am having fun getting out some of the things I haven't used in awhile. Including paper. This paper is from Stampin Up. As are the stamps used.

Card 2.11.11 - Inspired by the paper


This one is also completely Stampin Up. Punch, paper and stamps. Lots of fun, even if it is a sympathy card. I am looking forward to spring flowers for sure. Not enough time in the day right now for me. I am on a non stop roll with these cards. I am excited to start packing for a scrap crop though. I told myself that it needed to be photos and step away from the cards for a weekend. I am looking forward to the challenge.

Pretty purple paper and some natural acrylic stamps. I love the white ink. OOPS, I did leave the lid off overnight. I hope it will survive! Never forget the fabulousness of white ink! Where is my white pen. The best thing ever. OK, I got caught up, and will try not to get more than 3 days behind.

Today's card and Tomorrow's card - This makes 41 out of 365 - Not bad!

I love rediscovering things that I already have. This goal of one card a day is absolutely the best thing I could have done for my creative spirit! Wow, I am finding things that I forgot I had, and they are speaking to me! HONESTLY! And can I tell you that if I can reach the 6 month mark, I think I am going to have to start planning one HUGE party! This is a life goal, a bucket list item, what ever you want to call it. It is making me happy!


Card 2.9.11 - Inspired by the embossing folder and a customer order


This one goes with the one above and it is posted early for tomorrow. I have got one more in the works. So things are going well and it was a good day. I made chili today too. :) All this with one sick kid at home. PHEW! WOW!


Card 2.10.11 - Inspired by the card above. With Sympathies....

Cards for Monday and Tuesday....

PHEW! OK, I got quite a few of these birthday critters done. Time to head back to the stamps. This bunny was purchased immediately after posting and shipped to Chicago! BRRR! I am glad that tomorrow is Wednesday already. I was dreading this week, and we are halfway done. OK - I still need to get a card in the mail to my niece! That is tonight's goal.

Card 2.7.11 - inspired by my new texture folder from Stampin Up.


This cat looks great in all sorts of colors. These critters are addicting! I don't know if I can put them away. What about valentines day? I think I have to make some for my dear daughter and her class. I guess I better get started on them!

Cards for friday, saturday and sunday

More cute children's cards! I got in the groove and made a bunch, then had to wait for good lighting to photo graph them. All of these are inspired by my neice in New Jersey who will be 5! I thought I had better get something in the mail to her. And something fun. So these happened.
THANKS DEAR NIECE! This first one is a small owl card with an owl I had made a while ago. He was just flying around and waiting for a card to land on. SO, I gave him a hat!

Card 2.4.11 - Inspired by Amelia's upcoming birthday!


This cute bear put on her party clothes. Which included a trip through the corduroy machine! LOVE IT! This cricut cartridge is my favorite of course! I shipped a birthday bunny off to Chicago to wish someone special a happy birthday. And I can't forget to mention that a dear awesome cardmaking friend of mine, shared her paper!

Card 2.5.11 - Inspired by paper from a friend! BIRTHDAY PAPER!


I had to make this purple octupus! He is way cool! Purple and orange really put a POW in this card. The birthday critter cards are larger than most of my cards. These are 5 x 7. And a lot more fun to do in this size. Oscar even has a present to give to someone! Find him in my store and I will ship him to you!

Card 2.6.11- Inspired by the colors PURPLE and ORANGE!

It's FEBRUARY! OH MY! That was the fastest month ever.

Love this color scheme-one of my all time favorites! Purple and green! I made a zillion cards with this stuff. And another patchwork. Too fun. So much can be done. OK, I designed like 7 cards in my head today. Lucky for me, I have another snow day. But overnight, I will be praying that the power stays on. OH DEAR OH DEAR!
