T is for Time out

My yahoo group, JustCards, continues to have alphabet swaps each month.  Here is my T card. T is for Time out. I love this little girl and I could certainly use a time out.

I colored her with Copics.  The stamp is from Stamping Bella called "Anna and Her Time Out Chair"

ST Patrick cards

I ended up in two St. Patrick card swaps and made these two cards.

Kind of simple cards where the paper did most of the work. I colored the shamrock with copics.

Feb sketch card

Meg Farris designs the sketches for the month Swaps at JustCards.  Here is the Sketch she did in Feburay and my interpretation.

And my interpretation-

Do you think I tool it too far?  The clock die is from Tim Holtz. The saying is from a large box of tiny sayings I have.

Card Makers Centerpiece

I was asked to do a centerpiece for a dinner based on my talent of card making. Here are some pictures of it. You will probably recognize some of the cards. The lighting wasn't wonderful and I only had my phone to take the pictures.

Under the cards and stampes, there are buttons and some sheets of patterned cardstock.  There is an antique bowl in the center with card covering the cardholder the hold the card up in the center.
Wish you all could have joined us for the dinner and seen all the other tables filled with people's talents!

Christmas Every Month

I am going to do a Christmas card with my card class every month. This way everyone will have a start for Christmas.   Here is the card we did in Feburary. Simple, but pretty. Background was a Sizzix embossing folder. The word was embossed with silver embossing powder.

White on white is hard to see but it is pretty. : )

Valentine's Card from class

Here is another card we did for class. This was just last week. We did 2 cards and a little die cut basket. This was one of the cards.

The base card stock was metallic. It was kind of like foil covered. The white paper was my favorite Georgia-Pacific white cardstock from Walmart. The dies were from Spellbinders. The stamps were Stampin Up. The shading was done with Stampin Up ink as well.

I have returned!

After a long time away, I have some cards to post. I have been making things. Just not getting them posted here.  I have been teaching card making classes about every other week. I am excited because I am working with a local business owner to start having the classes at her place of business so we would have more room. 

Here is a a card we did for coloring. class. Lots of the people here have been getting copics and this was a chance to practice.  I LOVE this stamp. I got it at I Brake for Stamps. It is a Wee Stamp by Sylvia Zet.

I cut out the scallop circle and circle with nestibilities. The background paper came from Tuesday. It had pretty cooper metallic parts that don't show up in the scan.
