CONGRATS CARD FOR NEW JOB                                                                                    

My daughter has a new job and it has been one she has wanted for sometime.  So I had to send her a card to let her know how proud we are of her.  The digi stamp is Coffee Break from The Paper Shelter.  For the Congrats word art I used the cartridge Cindy Loo.

 I have posted this card over at Raq's Card Sketch Challenge.  Also entered it in the   The Paper Shelter Blog Challenge 97 All Wrapped Up (She is all wrapped up in her new job).

VALENTINE CARD                                                                                                                           
 I have been busy with my Granddaughter lately due to her having surgery on her leg again... She had broken her leg back in April of last year and they had to put it back together with 2 plates and 15 screws... well the bones mended  ok but for some reason she has been fighting infection after infection since April.  So they decided to take the plates and screws back out so that the infection will go away.  Wow she is feeling so so much better now... she has to have antibiotic  IV therapy for a while at home but she is on the mend....and she will mostly likely be out of school for 3 weeks.  So all her grandmothers are stepping in to take care of her while she is out of school.  So I have not been in my craft room for a while but I wanted to post this Valentine card.  TFL....

 The lips are from the Indie Art Cartridge.

CANDY SUCKER FLOWER ARRANGEMENT                                                                              

 Hi    wow it is cold outside!!! and I am staying inside  today.  I am so ready for spring.   So today I made a   cute little flower arrangement made with suckers and valentine conversation heart candies.  It was so easy to make.  I use flowers from  Art Philosophy cartridge (flower8 in two different sizes cut 1 at 3 inches and cut 1 at 2 1/2 inches  and 2 each of the  flower1 cut at 1 3/4 inches).  Glue the 4 flowers together, made a hole in the middle of all four flowers and put the stucker stick through the middle.  The vase is just a little plastic wine type glass that was located in my local grocery store filled with valentine conversation candies then I added the stucker flowers. Now that was easy and if you have any questions I would be glad to answer them.   TFL!!!

FLOWER FROG                                                                                                   

Hi!  It is Sunday here and we are still having a bit of mild weather before the cold comes roaring back...just hope not too cold and I am already done with the snow... let's more on to spring!!!

I have seen that some of you are standing your cards up on a stand that looks like a bunch of nails... so I went looking for a picture of that item but had a hard time finding a picture because of not knowing what it was called so I did some asking around and a friend told me that it is called a frog.   So I went looking and it seems that they are called Flower Frogs... so I told my hubby I wanted one made, showed him a picture and he made me one. :)

SNOWFLAKE CARD                                                                                        

Here is a card that I have made for the  challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2.  This is the first time I have joined in on  their challenges.  SNOWFLAKE is the theme this week...so I hope I  posted  it correctly... I also added this card to the challenge over at Raq's Card Challenge on Cricut.com.

  I used the Art Philosophy cartridge for the snowflake and used  the spellbinders  scallop oval die.   

  Wish BIG!                                                                                              

For this card I didn't have a candle on my cartridges that I wanted to use so I made up my own using pieces and parts from the cartridges I have... For the top (drippy wax) part of the candle I use the cake from Everyday Pop Up Cards... for the stick part of the candle I use the rectange from Plantin Schoolbook... and the flame is from the Everyday Pop Up Cards made into three different sizes.  I really like the Cricut Craft Room.  

CARDS FOR THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE AT RAQ'S CARD CHALLENGE.

 Here are 2 more cards I did this week  for Raq's card challenge  over at Cricut.com.  As you can see I am starting my Christmas cards for next year... it was just too much to do them all in the month of December last year.

ONE MORE BIRTHDAY CARD                                                                         

Here is one more card for mom and grandmas to choose from..... I used spellbinder's die the classic large oval and the Happy Birthday is computer generated.... and  the little lady is from The Paper Shelter.. she is so darn cute... plus she was already colored (this part I love because I don't use copic markers)  I need to learn how to use them but I don't want to stop making cards and take the time... maybe some day.  I did change the color of her hair in photoshop because I just had to have red hair on her....I also did this for the challenge over at Raq's Card Challenge on the Cricut.com.

Here are a few birthday cards that I have made for my granddaughters.... My two oldest granddaughters were born in Jan on the same day 2 years apart... so we have always celebrated their birthdays on the same day.   So it is time to start making some cards for them.... I need to make 10 or so cards because my daughter needs 2, her mother in law needs 2 and I of course need 2... that way they can pick out the ones they like....so here are three cards I have finished.
