Spotted Flowers

When I was browsing through Hobby Lobby (or was it Michael"s or Joann's) I found these Spare Parts flowers The Paper Studio on sale ( for a buck, wh00wee!) and grabbed up the brown and white, black and white, red and white and white and black. What fun I've been having. Just love the polka dots. They've been sitting on the desk nagging at me to make them useful. (Hate nags don't you?) So I got them out and started throwing some cards together. I thought this one with the stripes and dots worked pretty well for a B'day card. Using the Bow Easy I added a little ribbon, fancy corner punched the layers and voila I'm done. (Sorry for the fancy language, sometimes I get a little above myself. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

Black & White Sympathy

I tried something new with the bow on this one. Using the Bow Easy I did a bow with two ribbons. After a bit of struggle it finally came out right. I probably won't do that again for awhile. Need to forget that struggle first, although with advancing age memory is fading faster these days. LOL I computer generated the sentiment and cut it and the black mat out with Nestabilities Labels One. I mounted it on black and white ribbons over black and white paper over black cardstock on a white card base. Getting the theme here??? Anyway I like how it turned out and hope you do also. Thanks for stopping by.

Lockhart Cupcake

I was so excited yesterday when I spotted Lockhart stamps at the Novi Show. This Morning Glory Cupcake stamp just jumped into my hand and screamed take me home. Well not really but that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Well any way I played with it last night and colored it with Copics and today I assembled a card. I had this paper and decided to mat the image using my Nestabilities. I had found a reference to a tutorial on "A Touch if Grace" for easy bow making using "Bow Easy" Hmm, I thought to myself 'I have one of those" so I dug it out and after finally reading the directions and looking at the pictures (after I watched the video 3 (yes 3) times I finally got it!!!! So I added ribbon and bow (Hobby Lobby), and finished the card. Hope you like it
