March 21, 2012 Bunny Noses/Bunny Tails.....

Oooops! I forgot to take pictures of the bunny treat holder I made. Ok, last post today....I promise.:P I found this cute little turkey treat holder on: http://burtonavenue.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkey-favor-tins-tutorial.html  and thought a bunny would make a cute treat holder too. I used the bunny on Doodlecharms. I used cardstock from Recollections; both the cream and Kraft. On the nose I colored with a Copic marker and covered it with Glossy Accents. I used Tim Holtz distress ink in tea dye on the edges and on the tail. I am not sure if Iam going to fill the treat container with bunny noses or bunny tails...I guess it depends on what treats I can find to fill the little bunnies with. If you have any questions, please send an email. Have a great day!:0)

March 21, 2012 Playing catch up.....three cards:0)

Good afternoon everyone. I just finished up our April family birthday cards and I have them here to share with you. The first card I made for our nephew Eli, he will be 3 next month. I used a card in the Life's a Party cartridge for the   base. The cute little digital stamp came from http://tiddlyinks.com/ . The grey cardstock is from Recollections and the green is (old)SU. The second card I made is for our sweet neice Nicole. The card base is plain white cardstock (Georgia-Pacific) measured at 5 1/2 x 11. The cute purple polka dot paper is from DCWV Nana's Nursery, it is cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. I cut three pieces of Kraft Recollections cardstock at 4 1/2 x 2, 4 1/2x 3, and 4 1/2 x 5 1/2 (the tag). The cream colored cardstock is from Recollections it is cut at 4 1/2 x 1/2 inch, I used a Fiskars edge punch. The SUPER CUTE digital stamp is ALSO from http://tiddlyinks.com/ . Her name is Wryn...isn't she adorable?! If you haven't seen the digital stamps on Tiddlyinks...

February 22, 2012 Male Birthday Card using Pagoda Cartridge

Good evening everyone! My son helped me make a card for his Uncle tonight. We used the Pagoda cartridge to cut out the bamboo, dragonfly, and kanji. The moon was cut using a round Marvy punch. The kanji says Prosperity in Japanese, I thought it was nice for a birthday card. The paper is from Recollections and (old) SU (yellow, grey, and teal). I let my son sew the card, not bad for a 8 1/2 year old!:0) Have a great night everyone!;0)
