Cards Cards Cards

A couple of cards that I got done. This first one uses a Sizzix embossing folder with a Whipper Snapper Snowman with the sentiment by Purple Onion Design. Snowman is colored with Copics.
Another Purple Onion Design Stamps colored with Copics.

This fun card is for my most favorite honorary Dad for his birthday coming up in May. The little monster and sentiment are from AnnaBellestamps, a stamp company in Australia. The Tree is from a Stampin Up collection. Colored with Copics.

So much fun to be back in the creative mode. Thanks for stopping by.

Creating on the weekend

This was a good weekend to do a little bit of nothing and some creating. This first card uses Whipper Snapper Stamps (Crab and Seaweed). The sentiment is printed. I colored using Copic Markers. I thought I could give this card to Mike to give to me when he is crabby.
I had seen this blocking style on Pinterest and liked the way it looked so I tried to reproduce. The Stamps uses are Tree - Memory Box and the sentiment is Unity.

I made this card for a sweet friend at work. The Stamp is by Mo Manning for StampingBella. Colored with Copic Markers. Sentiment is computer generated cause I was way to lazy to actually pull out an alphabet and stamp it myself.

This last card got a wee bit busy. Ok a lot busy. I don't know what I was thinking. I am going to use it anyway cause I am late. The only stamping is the sentiment which is Purple Onion Designs. I drew out the pattern for the cupcake. The heart is a punch. Paper is Basic Grey.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you are having a nice Easter weekend.

Hugs, Annie

More Cards - Lifted

I needed some quick cards so I lifted from others. This first one is almost a complete copy. I changed it very little. I just loved it and felt it was adorable the way it was. This was more of my take on a lift. I am going to use this one for my March card club card.

I thought this basic design for this one was so cute. I did put my slant on it but for sure could never take credit for the original layout.

This one is a take on the design above again with my slant on it. I loved the design.

Thanks to all the designers who share their great work with those of us whose creativity has gone south for the winter. We greatly appreciate it. We would also appreciate your continuing support of Purple Onion Designs. This is another one of my most favorite stamp companies. Owned and operated by one person. These are the companies that we should continue to support.

Thanks for stopping by.

My little girl is all grown up - WARNING CUTE PUPPY PICTURES

Maggie is two years old. She is not really a puppy anymore. But she is for sure still if not more adorable. She is one spoiled rotten pooch. She goes to Doggie Day Care 2 days a week and has some social interaction with other puppies. She loves it.

While I was recoverying from surgery, this was pretty much her spot. It is my lap. I think because I sat here covered with a blanket it was warm and cozy for her.

Maggie in her bed under my desk.

This is Maggie waiting for her Dad to come thru the door. She hears his truck and stops playing with all her toys so she can give him a true Westie greeting. He loves its.

Boy do I need to catch up!

I have been so busy with the new job that I have totally neglected this blog. Being creative has taken a back seat to hmmmm - nothing. I have done some knitting and a couple of cards. Most of the cards that I did were for Eat Cake Graphics. Here are a couple that I did throughout last year and into this year.
This was an experiment to use Copic Markers to die white paper flowers to match colors. It got kinda busy.

This is a birthday card for a lovely lovely friend.

I got some of the Copic white acrylic paint for highlighting. Was playing around with using that on this one.

This was a card that I sent to ECGs that was not used on the sight. Very simple.

This was a lift from myself from another card I did for Eat Cake Graphics. I needed a birthday card and had just done the cat in the chair.

I drew the cupcakes. The flourish and the sentiment are from Eat Cake Graphics.

I loved this one. I drew the balloon and added the little dog. Dog and Sentiment are Eat Cake Graphics. All of these cards are colored with Copic. If you haven't been able to tell Eat Cake Graphics is one of my most favorite stamp companies. If you like the stamps, go visit the site and support this one person stamp company.

Thanks
