A Christmas Tree made From circles card

 Years ago I found a free digital set of circles that I downloaded and printed out. Then I used a Creative Memories circle punch to cut them out. I finally pulled them out and this is what I came up with. Another Christmas tree card. Thanks for looking.

Manly Monday cranky Santa Claus card

This is not my normal happy go lucky Christmas card. Sometimes it happens where things on my desk meet each other and look great together. The patterned paper is by My Mind’s Eye. The circles were a digital freebie. I’m trying to find them on my computer. I think Santa is from a store-bought card. He looks cranky. Anyway, thanks for looking.

Happy Dog image colored in with Chalk card

The patterned paper by Moxxie on the bottom and My Mind's Eye on the top. I cut the image and the mat behind it with my trimmer and rounded the corners with a Creative Memories edge rounder. There's a border between the two papers and it is by Martha Stewart. The digital image is by Robyn's Fetish and colored in with powdered chalk mixed with white pearl paint both by Stampin N Plus. Then I came in with colored pencils to finish and add shadows. Thanks for looking.

Best Easter Wishes Cross Cards

My first card, the embossing folder is by Cuttlebug. The patterned paper is by K and Company. The image was downloaded from the internet probably 15 years ago. I don’t know why I printed it so small and on photo paper. My only guess would be for an ATC. 

For my second card, I have two pattern papers by K and Company. The Scalloped ovals are diecuts by Spellbinders. The cross stamp is by Stampin Up and I used the Creative Memories cutting system to make it an oval. The sentiment was downloaded from a company that is no longer in business. You can easily re-create the same sentiment in a Word document or a Google sheet. Thanks for looking.

Floral Friday Easter Cards with digital image printed on photo paper

For these two cards I used patterned paper by Provo Craft- we’re talking old stuff. The floral images were printed on photo paper. Unfortunately, I do not know where the images came from. 

The first card, the cream colored ribbon is from a dollar bin at Michael’s. The small piece of cardstock that is dry embossed is by K and Co. The Hallelujah stamp is from Dollar Tree.

The second card, uses rectangle die cuts by Spellbinders. The stamp set is downstairs and I’m still recovering from surgery and can’t find out. Thanks for looking

Digital Ornament stamp card

The background embossing folder is by Cuttlebug. The green cardstock is from my stash. The journal card is by Theresa Collins. The digital stamp is unknown and I did look for the company for over 30 minutes. I colored it in with Copic markers.

A card for a Young Lady with a blue star background

I made this for a young lady in the family and then forgot to send it.

The yellow paper was dry embossed with a Swiss Dot Cuttlebug embossing folder. I inked it lightly with olive green distress ink.

The little girl image is a digital stamp. I would have to look way into the deepest part of my computer to find out the artist. 

I colored her in with Copic markers

The brad is by Creative Imagination.

The die-cut stars are cut out with Quickutz 

The patterned paper is by Studio G

St. Patrick’s day Bagpiper

I did it Creations  Sunday challenge is a sketch. Here is my card based on the sketch. Our images were given to us by The Stamping Boutique. My white paper with shamrocks on it had no manufacturers name on the back of it but the other patterned paper is by Accord Publishing. It's from one of those scrapbookers calendars where you use the paper and elements in the paper for youSBing LO's after the day has passed. I had one in 2004 and 2010. The right hand paper and paper mat is from the 2004 edition. The ribbon in the middle is by Karen Foster, the sentiment is by Stampin' Up, ink by Memento, black cardstock by Paper Reflections, white card base by Recollections and I colored in the image using my Copic markers. Thanks for stopping by and checking out my St Patty's Day card. Now it's your turn to go look at the sketch and submit your card using any theme.

Looking for Shannon's Sentiment preview day #2? Go HERE to see my really bright card. lol.

Today being Sunday means another wonderful challenge from I Did it Creations. Yeah!!

*Remember we give a freebie with every challenge. Just choose an image that a DT member has used and send your request to jeanette_wtrs@yahoo.com with challenge freebie request in subject line. She will also need the name of the DT member.

*This week Challenge #42 - Bling It Up  and our sponsor is Beary Dust Stamps where you will find a wonderful mix of digi stamp images. 

I chose the Imposter stamp for Easter cards but I couldn't decide what color I wanted to make him so I did two. You are probably thinking Easter? It's not even Valentines Day yet. I like to think and work ahead and work ahead a little bit.

*I'm not going to give a supplies list for these cards. There's a ton of product in these two and I can tell you this much, it's all older materials. You probably wouldn't be able to find the products very easily. If you want to know what company makes a specific item just leave it in the comments. 

*I hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend and come back tomorrow for another card. It's preview days for Shannon's Sentiments with a blog hop and release day on the 15th.
