I was into Valentine's Day Cards this year! I couldn't seem to stop, it was so much fun.
I made pretty pink heart backing papers, and customized sentiments galore.
This card took several steps to create...lots of little pretty pink digital hearts pieced together on white card stock. Added that lovely floral bouquet in the bottom right corner and that was it. NO SENTIMENT NEEDED said I!!! Added a "Wink of Stella" glitter on the hearts.
I made several and sent them to family and friends alike.
My precious Mother who is 92 years young and no matter what is going on puts a big smile on my face. I am so blessed to still have her in my life. This is the card I made for her. Started with a background paper that had lots of shades of pink giving it an hombre look. It was very pretty on it's own, didn't need anything but the glittered heart swirl and the "Love You" sentiment which I created.
Happy Valentines Day 2019 Mom!
I made this Valentine's Day card for my husband Dave. We have been married 51 years, he's received a LOT of cards from me, so wanted to do something a little different.
For this card I used 5 different digital images, plus the backing paper and then the card itself. There is a white layer with a light grey border, there is a red layer on that, there is a text layer as background and a big pink heart with the sentiment "kisses" which I created.
It's hard to see, but there is a soft glitter wash around the pink heart and also the red border using A Wink of Stella Clear.
He liked it! Happy Valentine's Day 2019 Dave!
I made this cute little Llama into a Thank You Card for Rosy. She used to live here in the High Desert of Central Oregon, where we have lots of sweet llama's around. None with flowers and cactus on their backs per say, but we do have flowers and we do have cactus. Put that all together and you have that pretty little llama all dressed up and ready to give Rosy a big smile.
I made the sentiment using the Kimberly font, love it's frilly look and the only adornment is the sequin in the center of the bow for just a little sparkle. Hope you enjoy it Rosy.
Thank you Rosy for thinking of me, I think of you often!
How fun it was to pick up the mail today and find this! I love Happy Mail and this one is especially dear because it comes to me all the way from Hawaii!!
It's from a fellow "paper crafter/card maker" Rosy. She used to live here in the High Desert of Central Oregon and had heard we were having lots of snow. Isn't that the cutest Penguin you have ever seen, all dressed for a cold winters day holding a steamy cup of hot chocolate, that sounds pretty good right about now!
Thank you Rosy for your sweet card and hand written note. Mahalo!
I have the sweetest friend, lots of fun, a wonderful sense of humor and a kind heart. Really doesn't get better than that does it.
I found this image on Pinterest a long time ago and just took notice of it again. My thought was...well this has potential, so off I went and this is what happened.
I created the birthday sentiment on the inside and also recreated the original sentiment on the front of the card. Love doing that, gives it just a little more personality and makes it unique.
I hope you enjoy!
My dear Sister-in-law Judy is having a birthday in a few days. She is amazing, a total outdoor girl with a deep love for animals of all types. Lives in the country, with dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, chickens etc. etc. etc.
When I saw this handsome ole Rooster, I thought of Judy and that he just might put a big smile on her face. So "cock-a-doodle-do" Judy! Lots of Birthday love!!!
You'll see the card front...
And the back of the card...I have been having fun trying to fit the focal image on the front of the card to the signature side, and here it is...
Well actually I do have one more, but I won't bore you now.
I have a love affair with Poinsettia's, I love the color ranges and the beauty of their petals. This one caught my eye because of it's airy, wispy look. I created the sentiment (love doing that) and I thought I would photograph this with the front and the back of the card showing.
A Birthday card for a dear friends daughter. It's the same card as the one that I made for my sister Carol. Just personalized the sentiment.
My little sister Charlou just had a birthday and she has a really good sense of humor. So when I saw this I immediately thought of her! Don't you love the lips on that cow and the red bow.
So, Maggie turned 20. She has always had grand plans and is well on her way to a very successful future. Those plans also included a "trunk monkey" along the way to do her bidding, so behold the "Trunk Monkey" birthday card! Isn't this little guy cute...seems a shame to lock him away in a trunk.
Happy Birthday Mags!
I love this funny Ostrich! What a fun "in your face" Birthday card. It's yet to be determined as to who is getting this one!
A selection of Christmas Cards for 2018: I was in a very Christmas song kind of mood.
Pretty, but quick post of Christmas thank you notes to send to special family and friends for a wonderful holiday season. This time I took a picture!!!
I am making a New Year's Resolution, one that a card maker that's been making cards for years should follow, but alas I have not.
Allow time to take pictures of finished cards! Unfortunately I still have card pictures to post that didn't have photo's taken, my bad!
My son Aaron turned 46...cough, cough, cough...and he is a martini lover, so found images to create this perfect Martini Birthday card! I love to create my own personalized sentiments using a very extensive font file...I am hooked on fonts!!!
Happy Birthday dear boy!!!
Happy Birthday Carol!
My Sister Carol's (not going to say how old) Birthday Card. Her birthday is in December and she is very vocal about not wanting her birthday card to have anything that remotely looks like Christmas.
So this is what I made for her!!! Happy Birthday little Sis!
Again, I have been very bad about taking pictures of the completed card. Just imagine this white card panel, popped up on a pretty lavender background panel...pretty...right???
Happy Birthday Fran!
I have a dear friend, her name is Fran and she has the coolest personality ever. Big and bold and full of life!
We had a surprise birthday party for her and decided she definitely was a "Flamingo Girl" if ever there was one. So that's what we did.
I made this card for her keeping with the flamingo theme. This is the digital card front only, forgot to take a picture of the completed card!
Oh my goodness, how time does fly.
The thought that our Son Aaron and Daughter-in-law Alana have been married 20 years doesn't seem possible...but it is.
These two wonderful people have given us two amazing grandchildren that provide smiles and laughter every single day.
So with that said, Dad and I wish you both a Very Happy 20th Anniversary with many more to come.
Mom
September 2nd 1967 Dave and I walked down the isle and I can't believe that in just a few days we will have been married 50 YEARS!
It has been an amazing time being married to this wonderful man. He is patient beyond belief, caring and full of love.
During our 50 years together, we had two children, our daughter Amy and our son Aaron, who seem to have inherited the best of both of us and they in turn have given us 5 beautiful grandchildren. Maggie (just off to college), Luke, Ella, Aidan and Ava.
Dave and I are taking a driving trip to Monterey and Carmel California, which is where we honeymooned 50 years ago. Bet we notice a few changes since then.
This is the card I made for Dave, I hope he likes it (except for the fancy font I used to create the verse for the card front, he does not like "fancy fonts"), he is an engineer he says and we don't use Fancy Fonts...to hard to read. Think I will print out the verse in Calibri and hand it to him at dinner along with the card!!!
