More Design Team Items...

Boy I haven't been on here for quite awhile but I have been busy making cards. I will have to post the rest later on.
The 2 items that I am showing I used paper that I got at A PAGE AT A TIME. The paper is called "Masterpiece Studios - Stemma Collection - "Snowman & Snowflakes". Very funky and sparkly paper! Thanks Jen!
My first card that I did was a "Gate Fold" card and my snowman is made out of circle punches! I am quite pleased how he turned out!





My second item is made out of this mug template that I found on SCS. It is used to hold a packet of Hot Chocolate. Unfortunately, I didn't have any packets of Hot Chocolate, so I made a bookmarker instead. Again, I am pleased how my little snowman turned out, I love snowmen, sooo cute!





Thanks for looking everyone and especially to those who leave comments or subscribe to my blog, I really really appreciate it! Cheers!

Quick but fun Card!

It was one of my "Masculine" co-worker's birthday so this is the card that I made him. It was very fitting for him as this co-worker of mine wears shorts ALL YEAR round, even when it is raining or snowing...CRAZY! You know, come to think about it, I don't know if I have ever seen him in pants...and I have worked at this place for over a year now!!!! LOL! Anyways inside the card I mentioned something on the lines of "to the dude who wears shorts all the time...cudos"! tee hee

I don't know if the penguin image is ringing some bells for you, but I free-hand drew the sunglasses on this little cutie and also added his mouth! Way cuter I think! I put crystal lacquer on his glasses to make them look shiny. On the black cardstock I used the cuttlebug folder "waves".

Speaking of Birthdays, "Little Monkeys" storage systems is turning 1 years old this month and so in honor of that, "you want a cookie" blog is offering some great Birthday blog candy for the event! Check it out!

Happy Rainy Weekend everyone! Cheers!

Let's Make a Snowman...!






I had soooo much fun making this ACORDIAN CARD!!! I cut out the snowmen and the tree shapes from the Company line "MY MIND'S EYE" Be Merry series! The card base is made out of SU "Baja Breeze" cs. I never thought I would enjoy pink with Christmas colors but I am realizing it is my FAVORITE!!!! tee hee!

So excited ...!!!!!


One of my lovely co-workers announced she was expecting and I tell you I got so excited! I am also finding it weird that I get really excited for some and not for others (not that I'm happy about it, but just not so excited?) maybe it is because it is her FIRST one!!!!
Anyways, who cares how much I get excited, I am excited to be posting this card! I was so happy with the way it turned out!!! I bought "TeddyBella" just to make this card! I paper-pieced her top and pop-dotted her belly, and also the circles for the thought bubble, put crystal lacquer on the bags and the baby is from the cricut "New Arrival". Had soooo much fun making this card and I really enjoyed my color scheme. Hope you like! Cheers!

Busy Weekend - Design Team Designs #2, #3, & #4

Yeeha! It was a very rainy day on Saturday so I got lots of cards done, and I am glad to say some more cards for "A Page At A Time" website!!!

The first Card I did was simple but I didn't want to take the focus away from the BEAUTIFUL paper, "Snowflakes Glitter" from Page Masterpiece Studios. The snowflake is from a retired SU set "Snowflake Spot"and I used SU paper "Elegant Eggplant" and other light purple cardstock.



The Second card I used the same Snowflake Glitter Paper for the border and for the base of the card I used "Page It Takes Two: Navy Cardstock". The stamp is new, I bought it at a friend's scrapbooking store and it is from the stamp company Great Impressions. The snow is made from liquid applique.



Ok, I saved the BEST for last, I am really really pleased how my third card worked out! I used "Halobella", paper pieced her dress with "SU Almost Amethyst" cardstock, framed with unknown funky purples & blues paper, background paper is again the most beautiful paper I have ever seen " Page Masterpiece Studios: Stemma Collection: Snowflakes Glitter" and embellished with ribbon, silver stickles and glitter silver EBP. The snowflakes is used from a retired SU Christmas Stamp set.




The sentiment that I used for the card, is actually copied from a stamp sold from the Elzybell's website



I have more paper to work with for my Design Team Designing, but that will be posted in a couple of days, I get Tuesday off! LOL! Cheers everyone!
