Elzybells Single Layer Challenge

Happy Rainy Day Thursday Everyone!

Today's card is a single layer card and I tell you, this type of card can be a bit tricky. I remember trying to make a single layer card almost 2 yrs. ago and I simply could not make it work! What was so hard about it? Well... to tell you the truth, in my mind....simple cards are harder to make! After making three cards for the Elzybells single layer card challenge, I finally made one that was decent and this is my take on the challenge.



Card Details..........
stamp and sentiment Elzybells Art Stamps, c/s PTI, inks Copic Markers, paper piercing, ribbon and tiny pearls


Have a great day everyone and thanks so much for stopping by!

Good Morning Everyone!
After fiddling around on my blog, I think everything is back to normal....and thank goodness for that! As I sit here typing my post, I can't get over how beautiful and sunny it is. The past few weeks, the weather has been so cold and today it feels like a beautiful Spring day. According to the weatherman, the temps. should reach 58 degrees! Although these conditions are temporary, it really feels great and the fresh air feels so good.



OK....I won't bore you with my blabbering. Lately I have been practicing with my Cricut Expression Machine. I really have a lot of stuff to learn and I have to admit that this machine is loaded with possibilities. To make my box, I used the cartridge Tags,Bags,Boxes and More. After I assembled the box, I used my hand held heart punch to create tiny hearts for embellishment.




The tag features an Elzybell image and the sentiment reads "My Funny Valentine".

The box is stuffed with shredded tissue paper and I stamped the words "Happy Valentines Day" on the cellophane bag of chocolates .

stamp Elzybell, sentiment A Muse, inks Copic Markers, Adirondack Pitch Black and Staz-On White, Cricut Expressions Machine, Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge, pearls, ribbon, brads, tissue paper and cellophane bag (SU)

I also would like to announce that I have won a 2 week guest designer position for Lili of the Valley! What an honor and I am thrilled to work with such talented ladies!!!!

Have a great day and thank you so much for stopping by!

A Valentine Cutie

Good Morning Everyone,
Boy oh boy is it ever cold here and now another snow storm is on the way! When will it ever end?! *sigh* One good thing that I can say about the cold is I've been creating up a storm. It is just too cold to do anything else.



Today's card is a Valentines shaker card. After I sealed the backing I sorta wished that I had used more micro beads.



I also added some tiny hearts using my hand held heart punch. I wanted my focus to be on my shaker image and kept my card simple. Right now I'm sentiment challenged (again) and I could not find a sentiment stamp that I was pleased with at the time. I simply stamped three hearts in place of a sentiment for the now.

Card Details........
