Time to Post some cards!

Well time has come to post some of my work. I will include some cards.... many different stamp companies have been used. I like to make my own papers. I love the feeling of having something I made as my background!

This was a quick night before hubby went to work card......one of those "oh there is a retirement party for...." cards!! Oh how I love what comes out of those nights! I used my Unity KOM stamps for this one!

.
I LOVE Tim Holtz and this is use of his inks and his Butterfly wings Sizzix die cut







I like this card...made my own flowers and of course lots of bling and ribbon....love my bling!!

I love this card made with my ALL STAMPS....okay I'm lying.....I added a fishing pole from my Cricut cards cartridge! I used my Ippity fish and water grasses.  Mum loved her birthday card....she always gets the biggest fish (well bigger than what Dad catches!!!) and it's always a competition! 



I have a couple of Sympathy cards to share as well.....

I loved making this card.  I hate making sympathy cards but I always put a bit of myself into them given their content...very sad. I used Hero Arts stamps and Cornish heritage Farms for words on the cut out (spellbinder nestability label).







Another sympathy card.....However this has to be one of my most favorite cards I have ever made!  I found an idea in Paper Crafts ( I like to bounce from ideas I see in mags....) I used the words from a stamp used in the mag and then put it onto card stock and distress inked it up.  I stitched the edge of the card for the first time and have not done it since then. I need to get my sewing machine out for a regular use item!!!

Well these are a few of my cards and I will post more as I get them made.  I love my work....hope that you enjoy looking at it too and please I LOVE  comments!!!
