Thinking of you...

I love kraft cardstock with almost anyother color! And I love teal too! And together...they're dreamy! I had to play with a couple of new punches as well. MS leafy heart and the border punch.

Thanks...you rock!

This is a thank you card for my friend, Phyllis. I've always heard "better late than never" so that seems to be what I stick with. She gave me the adorable CTMH stamps set that I'd been drooling over. I LOVE it! The "you rock" is from a $1 stamp from Michael's. It used to have a little globe on it that was "you rock my world", but I thought I could use it much more the way I used it so I cut it apart. I thought the dotted paper was perfect for "disco lights". The disco ball is an embossed brad. It's very sparkly in person.

I did it! I did it! I did it!

Yep...can't believe it myself, but I got ALL 12 tags done. I feel a bit accomplished!

Merry Christmas!

Here it is already the eve of Christmas. This year has gone by SO very quickly. I remember thinking I would get my cards made ahead of time and it seems like that wasn't very long ago...it went by too quickly for me! I didn't manage to get many made and didn't get any sent...yet. I'm thinking maybe I'll go for New Year's cards or Valentine's cards! Eeeegads!!!

This is another SheetLoad card I made for December. If you haven't checked it out...hurry! This is the last issue and it's a goodie!! I used some alcohol inks to color the holly and berries. I used Prismacolor pencils...and they're not really washed out like in the photo. It's much better in person.

I hope everybody has a blessed Christmas...and be so thankful that we are celebrating the birth of Christ.

Another SheetLoad creation...

I love how this one turned out. So cute. This is Gingerbread Kids from Doodle Palace. They have such cute images. I used the awesome and wonderful December SheetLoad sketch (the final issue). Now maybe I'll go make some real gingerbread boys and girls today!

Simple, Special, Stunning...it's MY turn!

It is time for the December edition of Simple Special Stunning at the SheetLoad of Cards blog, featuring samples by Me!

Each month one of our artists will share three different cards that use the current layout. Each card is a "step up" from the previous one, but they are all fabulous. It is a good way to show how SheetLoad is geared toward papercrafters of all levels.

Here are some sneak peeks to whet your appetite...

I am really proud of how my "stunning" one turned out, so here it is...

The pearl flourishes were made with the $1.00 pearls. I drew a swirl, covered that with acetate and adhered the pearls on in patterns, cut them out and glued them on. The little "Believe" is doen on shrink plastic and I think it added a really cool look to it. Now the fluffy stuff is the shredded Styrofoam that I've used several times. The look just fascinates me. Here's a close up of Santa's hat so you can see the fluff and shimmer!

SheetLoad Cutie...

Isn't this giraffe just a cutie patootie?!? I love it. This is for the December SheetLoad of cards. Be sure to checkout all the details over there!
