Using pretty paper

Hi
Just a simple little card.  This is some of the beautiful paper I have been hoarding.  Behind the card is a peek of the inside of the envelope with some of the paper as an insert. The key swings freely on the silverey gold tape.   I have no sentiment yet.
Have a Blessed day.

Blue Poppies

Hi
There were just a couple tiny pieces of that gorgeous holograph paper left and it cried out to be made into a card.
Poppy stamp from SU.  Painted with re inker and popped up with pop dots.
Cuttlebug folder is Kimberley's card.
Punch is from EK, sorry can't remember the name.
Remember clicking on pic shows details.  (sometimes even ones we don't want shown lol )
Have a Blessed day.

Four little ifroggers

Hi
Just loving this little guy.  He is so much fun to play with.  I have four grandchildren and so since time is running short (plus postage is expensive for raised cards) I decided to put all four froggies on the same card for them all.
This will be entered into http://2cuteinkdt.blogspot.ca/.
I need to add these 2 links   https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ifrogger/id587404667?mt=8  http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=432866563458204&set=a.216275838450612.52575.189866967758166&type=1&theater
Have a Blessed day.

"Hoppy" St. Patrick's Day

Hi
This cute little frog is a digi called  ifrogger. 
The sentiment says "Hoppy" St. Patrick's Day and it is on a clear banner. However, I did not post that because the recipients name is on it.  As so often happens he looks so much cuter when you click on him.  The googlie eyes are so cute.

I am entering him in  the challenge on http://2cuteinkdt.blogspot.ca/
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ifrogger/id587404667?mt=8  and

This is my first challenge so am not sure it is going to get to the right place but he was so much fun to color and make the card. 
Have a Blessed day.

Florida 2004

Hi
The photo was taken in 2004 when we spent some time in Florida looking after an Altzheimer lady.  This is the Atlantic Ocean north of Fort Lauderdale. 
This gorgeous paper is some I won from Capadia Designs.  I hated to use it but if you just hoard it no one else gets to see its beauty so I grabbed the old craft knife and.......
The colors are so amazing so I have used different pics to show you how gorgeous it is and how it changes.  Not sure if clicking on the pic will give you a better view or not.
Have a Blessed day.

Love this technique

Hi
Isn't this a gorgeous technique?  I totally copied it from
http://www.youtube.com/user/stampwithtami?feature=watch
I think I will make a few more because I do have a few dryer sheets.  I don't have many as I don't use them except for crafting.
I used SU Old Olive for stamping and the SU tree set  Lovely as a tree with the cardstock being old olive as well.  The sparkle is gorgeous so click on the pic if you want to see it.
I have a few things from SU because I thought I could become a demo but with my lifestyle it proved not feasible.
Have a Blessed day.

What a mix of colors !!

Hi
OK I am not totally crazy about this card but promised Juliet I would post my experiment. 
I like the snow effect on the wreath that I used to frame my card even though I am not crazy about the foot or more of snow we had.  I like to take my pics outside if I can.
The chrysanthemum is yellow cardstock with orange ink made from an orange reinker and water.   Pic of the flowers that inspired me to try for the same affect was this gorgeous plant was in Safeway in Colorado.
The aperture is cut with the Cricut cartridge Pagoda card on page 56. 
The frame for the sentiment is an EK Real Estate Sign Large Punch  with the center part from a freebie by http://cleversomeday.wordpress.com and the Just Because is a stamp from SU probably.
Have a Blessed day.
