Wander Where There Is No Path....

Crawling into bed one night, this idea popped into my head, I was far too exhausted to make a note as I normally would and thought for sure I would forget, but I didn't, YEAH :):):)

Made using:

Cricut Expression Machine, Design Studio & Heritage Cartridge (Bike with basket)

Copic Ciao Makers (Bike & Basket)

Stickles (Bike)

Hand cut and weaved (Basket weaving)

The bike was actually a whole bike that I sized to fit just the way you see it on my card. While I was assembling the card, I thought the basket would look better if I actually weaved it and I'm so glad I did. I just love textures and dimension.

  

Hope you like it.  

Hugs,

A Great "BIG HUG"....

Here's some fun with Prima flowers.

Hope everyone's enjoying this beautiful day!

Music Themed ~ Father's Day Card...

Here's a Fathers's Day card I created for my second dad. He plays the piano, hence the music theme and the little brads represent his initials :):):)

"The music & treble clef is actually a Stampin' Up stamp from a set called "MUSICAL MANUSCRIPT". I embossed it and the other two phrases, to match with "Black Satin" embossing powered."

Hugs,

"Quickie" Father's Day Card...

Hi!

Hope everyone is enjoying their day.

Here's a quick card I managed today.  The Pictures could be better, but I was in a rush to beat the mailman, so I could get this card out today in toady's mail... It's now in transit ;)

Hope my father in law likes it!

Hugs,

Loving Memories...

It's hard to believe this month marks 1yr, since my baby Blue passed away.

As creative motivation I make a digital calender each month and naturally this months calender had to  be dedicate my sweet little boy Blue.  I chose this photo, because it's one of my favorite memories of him at my crafting table, where he would wait for me to come sit with him.  He used to sit behind me in my chairs (any chair he could fit with me) while I worked and/or crafted.

He was such a love ♥♥♥ 

Hugs,

LOVE… Listen to your heart!

Mothers Day Love....

Hi there!

Here's one of the many Mother's Day Cards, that I have in process.  I love to make them for everyone :):):)  As usual I'm a tad bit behind, but they should be finished just in the nick of time.

So there's lot's of stamping, inking, tea dying, and real stitching.  The cute little flower & it's petals where cut with my Cricut, using the Flower Shoppe Cartridge, which is a wonderful cartridge.  Hope you like it.  

Hugs,
