Cards and Boxes I Made for Ladies Conference

I was asked to make three cards for the speakers and the soloist at our churches Ladies Conference.  I card lifted this idea from Christina Griffiths on youtube.  She is fantastic and makes some gorgeous cards.  So these are my take on them.  I hand made all the flowers and the boxes .   The die is a Spellsbinder the Parisian Motif pattern .  The bling is from Michaels and so is the cardstock. The tags were made from card stock and I punched the tops of them with a Fiskers punch and used a corner rounder.  The letters on each of them are from K&Co.
  Thank you for taking the time to tale a look.  Please leave a comment for I do read them and appreciate each and every one.  Have a great day.

Birthday Cards

the first one is for a very special lady in my life.  She not only is my friend but also one of my Pastor's.  She haul me everywhere I need to go.  She goes way beyond the call of duty.  She is very special to me...  I thank God for her every day.  So on to the card.  It had to be special and I found these digi's from Jade Dragon so I used them.  She also loves the color purple (that's another thing we have in common)  and bling so I did it up,,,,   The designer paper is scraps that I have had in my stash for ever.  Like I said I am trying to use up all my scraps.  I may never get to use a full sheet of paper again.  LOL!!!!!  I used a black card base that is from Michaels.  I also used a paper doily from my stash...  Same with the bling but is is from Michaels also.   The flowers are from WOC and from my stash.  This was a really fun card to make.  I used my Spectrum Noir and Copics on the digi images.  

This is the second card I made.  It's a ;pt simpler but I thought that the digi and the sentiment said it all so why add more.  I'm not sure who the artist is on this one but I have had it for ever but this is the first time that I have used it.   Again the papers are scraps that I have and the sentiment is stamped on to a Spellbinders label. die....  The ribbon and the lace are from my stash and the card base is kraft card stock from Michaels Colored it with my Spectrum Noir and Copic's pens.  Love to color.....  

Thanks for taking a look and please leave a comment for I do read and appreciate each and every one of them .

A few Cards I have Made

I have decided to try to make at least one Christmas card a month so that I'm not completely behind the eight ball come the end of the year.  I also have colored up some some didgi stamps with my Spectrum Noir and few of my copic pens that I have.  It is so much fun but I sure have a lot to learn on how to get them to look the way I want .  My first card the didgi I do not know who the artist is but I just love her.  She is so innocent looking.  I used more of my Designer paper scraps that I put on Kraft premade cards from Michael's.  The flowers are Wild Orchid Craft flowers.  The pink ones are sprayed with Cotton Candy pink for Lindy's Stamp Gang.  The little flowers I also sprayed with Cotton Candy they are porcelain that I had in my stash. The Sentiment is from Spellbinders and peel off from the UK.   The butterfly is punched out of Designer paper with a Martha Stewart punch.  All the pearl bling is from my stash.  Put Stickles on the flowers and butterfly.

Second card is the Christmas card that I did.  The stamp is one I have had for ages and I can't find the company that made it but I love this stamp and make at least one card from it a year.  Again I colored it with my Spectrum Noir pens and put it on Designer paper scraps.  I'm doing my best to use my scraps first then I need to start using the paper that I am hording so I can have some of the new ones that are coming out.  

 The last one is a Saturated Carny Digi stamp I believe and again I colored it with my Spectrum Noir pens and used designer paper scraps .  The Sentiment is on a spellbinders label and stamp form Fiskers.  The bling is from Michael's.  Tried a new Technique to me on the bear oh my have to do more practicing on that.  LOL!!!!

This one I forgot to rotate.  

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look.  Please feel free to leave a comment for I do read all of them .  They mean so much to me. 

Have a great day

First Card Made Using My Spectrum Noir Pens

My hubby bought me 72 Spectrum Noir markers for Christmas and this is one of the first Digi that I colored so its not as good as I would have liked but hey it's a learning curve.   I'm not sure who to give credit to for this image for I have it in my Misc Digi file on my computer and didn't get where I got it from so I am so sorry,  The papers I used are some really old scrapes of Designer paper scraps that I have had for ages. I'm trying to get rid of all those pieces of scrap paper that I have laying around.  I hate to throw away anything.  The rose is from Wild Orchid Craft which was in a winning I got from Scrapebooking with ME.  The label is Spellbinders and the thinking of you is a Studio G stamp from Michael's,  So is the flat flowers and the bling and butterfly.  Had a great time doing this card.  Thanks for taking the time to look.  Hope that everyone is staying warm.  When I go up  this morning it was 3 F and I don't know what the temp was with the wind chill Al I know is it's really cold for this part of Tennessee.

 Hugs, Donalda

Christmas Card Swap From Friendly Crafters on Facebook with Dawn Taylor

Received  my swap with Dawn last week but just got the pictures taken  and feeling like working on my blog.   Thank you for all the well wishes that I have had since my surgery a week and half ago.  I'm doing well as to be expected for the type of surgery that I had.  But I digress this isn't about that its about the wonderful things that Dawn sent to me......We were to make a card and then we could put in other goodies in a A5 envelope to our swap partners and Dawn Taylor was my partner.  What is really crazy is that we both had lived in the same city but at different time.  We both chose to just make something in any style or color that we chose.  She did do mine in my favorite color but she didn't know that I love penguins.    I love the card it is so cute.  She also sent me lots of embellishments and an address book that I am going to use to keep all my Crafty Friends addresses in and then I will have them all in one place and not have to look for them here and there,  (Now the biggest problem will be not loosing it on my so organized desk)   LOL!!!!!
Hope you have a great week and enjoy getting ready for Christmas and New Years,  I will be back before that to wish everyone a Happy Holiday's.  Please leave a comment and for I do read them and really do appreciate  your time.
