Wishing for summer....

I miss summer. It's mid July and I barely have any tan line. In fact today I saw people out wearing sweaters. It's ridiculous! I'm so sick of the unusually cold weather!
This week I decided to try and cheer myself up by making a beachy card. There may not be warm weather and sunshine, but I have the bestest girlfriends and that more than makes up for it!!  ;o)

It's a easel card, which I discovered is very hard to photograph LOL! I used the fabulous Ai stamp Girlfriends. Sentiment is also Ai, and ain't it the truth!!!

Thanks for looking.

It's July and time for a new Sketch Challenge over at Graphicat Sketches ! Sorry I'm a little late, but I've been down and out with a sinus and throat infection. I'm on the mend and today finally took a pic of my card to post it. First, here's the cool sketch...

                               
And now, I know the rest of the design team used Cheri's latest release of Tea images and sentiments, but I decided to use one of her first images...Boomer! Named after my sweet baby. The sentiment is also one of Cheri's. Please check out her site, Graphicat Designs, she has some very cute and sassy sentiments.

I used My Mind's Eye Lime Twist papers. I love the colour combo of orange, purple and green, even if it doesn't look as cool in the photo. And the image was fun and easy to colour. I look forward to using it again. Now please, go check out Graphicat Sketches and please join the challenge!

4 cards posted

I wanted to get some pictures posted so you don't think that I haven't been making any cards. I haven't been entering any challenges, and missed getting my DT card done....but things are settling down again and hopefully I will be posting regularly now. LOL!...who am I trying to kid? But I will try better. First 2 pictures didn't turn out very well. It was extremely sunny and I couldn't get anything without a glare or shadow. Sorry about the lousy quality....I'm still waiting for someone to offer me free photography lessons ;o)

First card is a retirement card I made for a co-worker. Sylvie is a darling lady, and we worked together 22 years. She trained me when I first started at the hospital, (when I was just a child) lol, and she will be greatly missed at work.

The next card was for a friend's sister who needed cheering up. I hope it made her smile, and I look forward to meeting her sometime soon! I used the Kraftin Kimmie stamp Drucilla for it. (I've been dying to use it!!!)

Next is an anniversary card for my brother and his wife. It's their first anniversary....I can't believe it's been a year already. Feels like last week. I used this adorable Stampavie stamp for their card. Sickly sweet isn't it?

And finally a Father's Day card for my Dad. His favourite place to be is up at their trailer, so I knew this Mo Manning image would be perfect.

Thanks for looking!!!

Ladybug Crafts Ink Stamp

I am totally in love with Ladybug Crafts Ink stamps, so when a friend at work asked me to make a birthday card for her boyfriend's mother (who loves martinis and her little dogs) I knew the perfect stamp to use!!

Don'tcha just love her? She is part of the Nikki & Friends line which is my favourite...but, then I also love her Magnum line which is a hilarious fat cat....oh and her new Shoes n' Bags line is fabulous. What can I say? I love them all. Please go check them out....you'll fall in love too.

Playing Catch Up

Ok...so I have fallen behind on my posts, but since none of these cards are for Challenges, I figure that's ok.
These were the cards I made a few weekends ago at the Scrapbooking Spectacular in Langley. The first one I made was for a friend Chris that has moved waaaaay up north. ....way-way up north lol. It's a good thing we are all card makers, because it will help to keep us all in touch, even miles away.

The next two cards were for my aunts.... just thinking of you cards.

And finally the Mother's Day card I made for my mommy.

Thanks for looking.
