Blame it on the P.O.T.D.



Hi
This is what happens when you let the p.o.t.d (pile on the desk) entice you.
I wanted to try Stampscape with blue ink so I stamped it on cardstock, then used embossing powder and the heat gun. Added some pink vellum and popped the Madison Grand Window die with pop dots and added a wee bit of lace for a curtain. Now this is where the p.o.t.d may have gotten me into trouble. Green and blue is not something I would usually put together but they were in the pile and so they ended up on the card. Some pearls for bling and there you have it.
Blame it on the p.o.t.d!!!!! You may have to click on the pic to see things better.
Have a Blessed day.

Blue daisy



Hi
While in Michaels one day I happened to notice the blue daisies with big white dots in the flower section. They were rather pretty and I thought they would make a cute card. So I cut out the daisy and with my white gel pen added lots of dots. Then off to the p.o.t.d (pile on the desk) for some scraps. Added the ribbon to the cardstock and ran it through polka dots folder on the CB. Added a bit of bling and ta da-pretty spring card. Lined the envelope and the inside of the card with the ribbon and cardstock, the same as the front.
Have a Blessed day.

Rural Crime Watch






Hi
Here is the project we were working on. I know there are duplicates but I have tried to erase them but with no success, so there they are.
The wagon wheels, lanterns and numbers were cut with Cricut Old West cartridge and out of fun foam. By the way, fun foam and the Cricut make really rich looking projects. The letters for the slogan were cut from Storybook in the SCAL library. These were the only things I had a hand in.
The rest of the project was the work of my friend and her family,she is the owner of "our" Cricut. The logs came from fence posts on the farm. The skulls were done by a lady who does ceramics. The bales and moss are from Michaels.
What a fun project.
Have a Blessed day.

Thank you card(s)




Hi
I know I have been away for awhile but this is part of the project I was working on with my friend (the owner of "our" Cricut).
There will be a couple of posts with this project.
This card is pretty self explanatory. The wheel and sign are from Cricut Old West cartridge. The stamp on the inside is Tree Trio by Stampscapes #088F. Lined the envelope with the same tree trio stamp. The snow on the sign and wheel was just glue with some Dollar Store snow. Must get a real card making snow pen. There were 9 of these cards made.
Have a Blessed day.

Quatrefoil and lace



Hi
Still cleaning up a lot of cuts from my desk. This is part of the quatrefoil svg from Christmas. The lace was a wee piece in the stash so I turned it into a flower. The background paper is from a huge stack my step daughter gave me. I love it and when I find a nice smoky blue butterfly I will probably put it on there. The centre of the "flower" is a stick on and it is the same color as the card. Of course, the camera doesn't catch that. lol To see the true colors click on the card. The background paper is gorgeous.
I lined the envelope with one row of the svg and laid a piece of the lace under it. Cute.
Have a Blessed day.
