yaking

I used my Imagine to create this LO. I really liked the sunny embellie--it was a perfect fit for the sunny outing I had with sonny! Pink Cricut and My Creative Time are having a challenge this week to do a LO featuring polka dots & I've got them in a couple places (although very faint in my big background).

Pinwheel card

I saw this great pinwheel card today and found the video tutorial for it at Barbstamps.com. I gave it a try and added some detail with the laurel punch. Diane at Capadia Designs did a great card with the punch today, so I scraplifted her idea to my card.

Colonial Crafts

A real simple LO featuring Maggie at school last year!

thanks SO MUCH

I made this card for 2 challenges! Pink Cricut was having a challenge to create something using the Imagine and a stamped imagine. Papercraft Star's challenge is a Thank you theme using dry embossing, cricut/die cut & metal. I combined all that into this card. Used the Imagine to print and cut the layered flower. Embossed a metal sheet with a cuttlebug "Many Thanks" folder and stamped a sentiment on the tag. Added some stickles, glossy accents and pop dots for dimesion (and my white pen)!

Egg-citing

This is another LO for my SDU sample book. I used my new Martha Stewart laurel edge punch--I really like the detail on it! These pix were a blast from the past--from 2005!

eek!

I dug up these vintage pix of the kids to use for a LO for my SDU sample book. These pix are from 2004! I used my new Martha Stewart crackle edge punch and I found a couple punches that made mini cats and bats.

Braces

Maggie got braces! They sure do change her appearance. I did not know she was going to get braces at this appt so I did not take my camera. One of the gals in the office was really sweet and let me use the office digital camera to take pix and then she emailed them to me. That is good customer service!

I used a Sketchy Thursdays sketch as inspiration for my LO. Their challenge was to also use a punch (used my new Martha Stewart crackle edge punch) & to have some orange in the LO (I have several shades featured). Check out Maggie's cool orange shades!
