Thank you for taking a look at my latest card!

Fri. May 20, 2016 High School Memories

My school colors along with the memories made this card special. SPA is St. Patrick Academy and it was torn down in 1970.  My class was the last to graduate in '69.  I still am in touch with many of the girls I graduated with- isn't that amazing since it has been so many years ago!
Here is a link if you want to read a little about this wonderful school.

5.19.2016 HE is my Friend and I am Grateful

An old Gina K. Designs set that I haven't used in quite a long time was begging to be inked up.  Making the fish 3 D just seemed to call me today, and create with this stamp set.

Wed. 5-18-2016 Creating again

 This butterfly was colored with Zig Markers after I took it from my Gina K. Designs stamp set called Fabulous Frame by Melanie Muenchinger.  I paper pieced the stripe patterned paper and added the little bow, that I made used my Bow-Easy. A small amount of orange ribbon to balance things out a bit, was added also.


Thank you for visiting today!

Tues. 5-17-2016 STV16MON20 Challenge for Father's Day

I made this for my hubby, his first Father's Day as a Grandfather.  He now has 1 granddaughter and 1 grandson- 1 from each of his sons.

I used Melanie Muenchinger's older stamp set set called Inspiration Mosaic, along with some Spellbinder Stars, that I edged with gold ink for sparkle.

Thank you for stopping by to take a peek!

May16, 2016 More Purple

Here is one I made on Sunday morning,  to post today.  Thinking about missing my friend Tina, so ended up with another card using purples.  A favorite color of Tina's and it always brings her to mind when using this color. I still am having a tough time believing that she is no longer on this earth.

Theresa Mombers stamp set, Vertical Greetings 2,  was water colored with ZIG markers, accented with a little Copic around the flowers,  and popped up with dimensionals, for additional texture. 

I appreciate you visiting today.

May 15, 2016 Dream Catcher

I made this card yesterday afternoon, using the Dream Catcher mini stamp set from Gina K. Designs.  This was a free set I received a few years ago and since it seemed to be calling out to me,  I decided to whip up a quick card. I also added some tan flocking to the feathers, for additional texture.

So happy that you stopped by today and I would really like you to leave me a comment! Thanks in advance.

Sat. May 14, 2016 Curls and Fluffy Edges

I followed the tutorial over at StampTV done by Karen and decided to try making a card with the curled edges.

I used the Coffee Therapy GKD stamp set and an assortment of scraps from my desk.  A few silk flowers to add even more texture.

Thank you for visiting today.
