Rainbows Card

Quick card I made for my girlfriend's daughter who is away at college.  I used a free subway art I found for the background.  I added a little green Stickles to the four leaf clover.  The rainbow & pot is a cut form Simply Charmed.  I completely glittered the rainbow and gold.  For some fun, I used googly eyes on the pot.  I have some fun socks to go with the card.  

Thanks for looking!

Pretty file Folder Organizer

This is from a swap I participated in.  We had to make Anything But a Card....I love making these organizers.  They are easy, but functional.  My idea for this one was that she could use it day to day...coupons, grocery list, to do list, etc.    I used a flocked handmade paper and a mulberry to cover the folder.  I used K & Company stickers, Prima flowers, rhinestones and white ribbon.  I printed the labels on the computer.  Here is a tutorial for the organizer:  File folder Organizer

Winter Fairy Halla

I hope you are warm and cozy on this Monday morning.  I colored this image during one of our snow days and I am just getting it made into a card.  This is one of my favorite images to color!  I love Mo Manning images...they are so fun and whimsical.  

Details:
Image - Winter Fairy Halla, colored with Prismacolor pencils.  I added Stickles to wings and breath.
Papers - all from my scrap basket
Extras - crystal snowflakes, gray pearls.

Enjoy your day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I have been wanting to color this image,  Hugs and Kisses by Saturated Canary.  Snow days are perfect coloring time...so...
I tried a new technique with my pencils, instead of using Gamsol to blend you use a lighter shade of pencil.  I do like how vibrant it makes the colors, and not quite as muddy as they can get with Gamsol.  I kept the card simple...Daisy D's papers, snip of "love" ribbon, rhinestones and epoxy heart stickers.
Here is the card I made for my DH for Valentine's day...
I used a fun image from Simply B Stamps.  Isn't she cute?  I kept the card simple...cute papers, doily heart, epoxy heart stickers, and an epoxy sentiment sticker.

Hope you are having a wonderful Valentine's Day filled with love!

Sweet Treats for Valentines

 I made both of these for a swap.  

The candy pocket is an old fold I have done many times, I just decorated it.  I used the Stampin' Up Owl punch to make a cute decoration, added googly eyes and mounted onto a scallopped circle.  (Here is a tutorial for the fold:  Diaper Fold Treat Pocket).


This one is a candy kiss tube.  It holds three kisses.  I started with a 3" x 3.5" piece of paper.  I scored it at 1", 2", and 3".  I then punched and attached the trim piece.  I ran tape runner along the middle space, placed my kisses and folded the paper around them.  I used a Stampin' Up hexagon punch for the closure.  Pretty cute, huh?
