World Card Making Day Bella Blossoms

This is the 5th of my challenge cards: A nesting flower with five+ layers. It is based on the Bella Blossoms flower and is really cool IRL - i think so anyway. What do YOU think?

World Card Making Day #2



(See below for WHY I am making these cards.) The challenge for this card was the cover of the latest Coldwater Creek catalog. In person, this card is VERY sparkly...

World Card Making Day


Hey everyone. Today I have been doing a WCMD card challenge hosted by Split Coast Stampers. I have to make a card every 2 hours until 11 tonight based on designs chosen by some of the fabulous artist at SCS. It is really fun and I am going to post some of the cards throughout the weekend on my site. Let me know what you think. This card is based on a sketch and was my "quickest" card of the day. By "quick" I mean I only redesigned it twice.

My baby girl


When I saw this picture I took of Emily last year, I KNEW this would make a perfect scrapbook page. We were in Bass Lake, the pine needles were everywhere, the sun was peeking randomly through the clouds, and as we walked along, I just kept thinking that time is so fleeting. How will I ever remember every moment I spend with her? I WANT to remember...

Catty Clone - Roses


Do you ever see an image in the catalog that you think... W-O-W and just HAVE to make? That is this one, for me, although I couldn't help it and added some DD glitter to the sentiment. I LOVE this set (A Rose is a Rose) and have made a whole collection of things to go with it... *sigh*

Fall is HERE!!!

Well sure, it's still in the high 90's (unseasonably so) but the leaves have started to turn. Well, it might be they are just tired of trying to survive the heat, but it COULD be FALL, yes, I am going with fall, autumn, season of presage. I LOVE the colors: brilliant reds, dusky browns and golds, rich burgundies and greens, LOVE LOVE LOVE it. This card was ever so slightly CASE's from Jenn D with some slight twitches : o) (It was lacking sparkle.) Let me know if you want dimensions. FALL: Whoo-hoo
