Dec LO #7-9




These are LO's of me from my 1st communion when i was 8. It is fun to go back and do some of me as a kid!! The cards were priced 50 cents and 60 cents! I can't imagine!

How is this one?? added to LO

Dh did not think that this LO was "finished" looking and suggested adding to it. I added 2 flourishes and added a little stickles. I am happy that he did. I think it looks good now.

Manger Invasion!!


This is my cat, Linus....He has decided that sleeping in the Manger scene is a good place!! It is so funny, he will actually move the people out of the way. They are little stuffed figures that the kids can play with. I can not believe he has invaded it!! These should be fun to scrap!!

Tin with Cards, my MIL Christmas gift



This is what i altered for my MIL. I made cards for her to use and put them inside. I really hope she likes it and will use it. I am so happy with how it came out, as i took a long time to figure out what paper to use for it!!

And yet some more cards i forgot i made!!













These are more cards that i made from 1/2 finished cards from years ago. They just had a piece or 2 of paper on them. I added the stamped images to finish them off.
Thanks to the people that were in my stamped image swap and Lisha for these images i used.

Now, just to get them written out and sent!! LOL!!

3 more cards...



These are a few cards i threw together. I used my friends stamps and stamped a ton and then brought them home and colored them!! I really need to be getting some LO's done!!

Jean Purse for gift...


This is a gift for my dd's friends B-day party. We realized that we had 2 hours before the party. We saw these purses today at an art gallery. I think it turned out so cute!!

A bunch of cards...


















I finally have my computer mostly working. Here are a bunch of cards i made. A lot of the stamps are ones that i did at my friend, Lisha's house (thanks Lisha for sharing!). I stamped a ton of images while visiting and colored them for my cards. I love the Christmas Owl and my absolute favorite is the elephant!! I think it came out just so cute!!!

The embossing on these few are ones i did by hand with fiskers plate and an embossing tool. I have since bought a Cuttlebug, but have not made any cards with it yet!!

Check these out!! Let me know what you think!

NOV LO #1-2


This is a LO of me. I did this one for a challenge to use buttons on the LO. The flowers around the purple circle are buttons.

This is a LO of my when i was 5 yrs old. I was all bundled up to go outside. I think it was before going to school.
