Christmas is just right around the corner and I started on making my Christmas Cards. This is one. I don't like to do too many of the same card as I get bored very easily with them, so I do a few of each design and this was one of them. I hope you like it......until next time......

Sunday Creations

This is a card I created for a swap I was in that was to be animals. I decided to do the hair gel water technique. I stamped the images, cut out the center of the card. Put hair gel in a small baggie and taped it down well under the front of the card. Then popped my Lobster onto the base of the card and it made it look like it was under-sea. I hope you enjoy looking at this fun card. It is really fun to play with. Until next time......

Bokeh Technique

Well today I tried something I have been wanting to do for some time. I did the Bokeh technique. This one was done all with sponges and I used daffodil delight, melon mambo, pumpkin pie and of course whisper white. I sponged my white card stock with the various colors and then I created a template with vellum cardstock and sponged my white circles onto the colors. I will be taking this panel and creating a birthday card later today. Maybe that will be the post tomorrow.....who knows. I am really trying to get back to posting on a regular basis. Until next time Inky Hugs!

I'm BACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

I know it has been a long time since I have posted. Shame on me. If you must know I am not real confident in my abilities still as a card maker. I do not have any creativity of my own. I must take someone else's design and case it or make it my own by changing it just a wee bit.

I belong to a delightful group on facebook and we do monthly swaps, birthday card celebrations, and the last month we have been doing Friday Christmas Card shares. Today's post is my Christmas Card I made to share on that group. I hope you enjoy it also. The design came from "StampWithTami" website. I loved this card and learned something new with it. It is made with vellum cardstock that you emboss with the gold and then sponge over the embossing. I loved the card the first time I saw it, but just decided to try it today. I hope you like it.

Spiral Flower Die

This is my first attempt at using the new Spiral Flower Die from Stampin Up. If you haven't got this die, you need to check into it. This was the 1st two flowers I made and if they come out this good for first attempts, imagine how they will come out once I learn to use the die. I had fun playing with it. I really like the 2 toned one. I used Daffodil Delight and Tangerine Tango card stock for this one. Until next time. Inky Hugs!

Desktop Mini Garden

This is a little gift I made 20 of for the ladies that took part in a Snail Mail Swap I host each month. We swap names and send 1 card to 1 other person. Since I host the swap, I like to make a little giftie for those that participate once in a while. This month happened to be the month I decided to create and send to everyone. As most of you know I don't have a creative bone in my body I have to CASE (Copy others designs) and that is what I have done here. This was shared by Linda Heller at Stamping School and I love it. It uses several new items from the Occasions catalog. I hope you enjoy seeing it as much as I had fun creating it. I hope the ladies that receive them will like them. They should be getting in their mail today or tomorrow so decided to share. Until next time, INKY HUGS.............
