I needed some masculine birthday cards to add to my card stash.  Here they are.  I hope you are inspired to create some of your own.  I used some card layouts that I found on Pinterest.  I love the way they turned out and can't wait to use them.  Hope you all have a wonderful week...

As always, thanks for stopping by

Celebrating A First

The blog challenge for Friday was that's a first.  You were supposed to create a card to celebrate a first birthday, anniversary, etc.  I chose to make a card for my niece's first anniversary which is coming up.  Yay for me that I'm done with it way before I need it.  I hope you all love it!  I had a great time making it. 

I was trying to do all the challenges for the week. But Saturday's challenge was to do some sewing and stamping on your card and since my machine is not working right now I can't do it.  :(  I'll be trying for 7 days this week with the new challenges.  Keep stopping by as there will be lots more.  Right now I'm also working several crafts for my sister and I'm also involved in a swap on Facebook with some lovely ladies.  I can't post the pictures till I send out the packages just in case my secret diva comes to take a look.  But I've been taking pictures as I go and will have a lot to show you all.  Thanks for stopping by

365 Cards: Day 319 - That's a First

Love...blog challenge

In this blog challenge you were asked to think about something uplifting for the ones you love and share it on your card.  I chose to do a card for my friend who is at the end of her chemo but will be beginning her radiation about a month later.  We have been keeping each other company since my first chemo.  I was nervous and upset and she really helped set me at ease.  I'll still have 2 more treatments left when she is done, I'll miss her so much and wanted to convey my love, friendship and thankfulness with this card.

The inside will read... Love is what gives us hope, keep the faith, find the strength and have the courage to continue to fight the fight!  Don't forget to FIGHT LIKE A GIRL...wishing you all the love and support that you've given me for these last few months.

I just realized that the picture didn't post.  Here it is!  :)

365 Cards: Day 318 Love is in the Air

More Blog Challenges

For this challenge you were supposed to highlight your sentiment, give it a pop of color and make it stand out.  I'm pretty sure that my bling accomplished this task.  I love Stickles and used it to give my sentiment a pop. 

I also used the Stickles to highlight the snowflakes that are floating around on my card.  I used beading to give it a little bit extra because it just didn't look like it was done.  Hope you love it.   Thanks for looking.
365 Cards: a new card challenge every day

For Day 317 you were supposed to make a card with a "flag".  I'm really into Christmas cards right now with the upcoming holiday and thought this was a great way to add some challenges to my Christmas card collection.  I love doing these!  I hope this will help you to embrace your inner creativity.  I have a few more touches to put on the others that I've created for this weeks blog challenges.  I did all 7!  SO excited!  Hope that these will excite you too!  Come back for the rest later

365 Cards: a new card challenge every day

Blog Challenges

If you feel like your crafting/cardmaking has gotten a little rusty...why not try some Blog Challenges.  I've been pondering this thought for several days.  I finally decided to do it.  So here are my creations.  The first challenge was to follow the sketch provided.

The second challenge was to raise up at least four items.  I have been making these triple stamped cards for a little while...I'm really in love with them.  For this one I decided not to layer them one on top of the other, instead I chose to set them off center.  I also raised the snowflakes but not sure if you can really tell.  I'm really excited by the way this one turned out. Hope you like it too!  I'll be posting the rest later today.  Hope you'll stop by to see them.  I hope that this offers you some inspiration.  Thanks for stopping by

365 Cards: a new card challenge for every day

Penguin Christmas Cards

My daughter was the inspiration for these cards.  She loves, loves, loves penguins.   I stamped the penguin then hand colored with Copic markers. If you love coloring with Copic markers you should check out my Maggie tab.  I have been hand coloring these for about a year now and I think I'm steadily improving.  I hope you'll stop by tomorrow to see more.  Thanks for looking

Star Christmas Cards

These were made using red, white and and craft paper.  They are simple but I think they're very pretty.  These are all A2 size cards.  I am making other sizes just haven't posted them yet.  Will post those next week sometime.  Keep looking.  Thanks for stopping by

Snowflake Christmas Cards

 

More snowflake Christmas cards for this year.  I hope you are enjoying all the cards that I've been creating. I've loved making them and can't wait to send them out to family and friends.  I usually mail out really late...about a week and a half before Christmas.  This year I will be able to have them done and in the mail before the beginning of December.  I'm so pleased with myself.  I'm having a great time making these and I love sharing.  :)

Baby Shower Cards

Last weekend my daughter came downstairs and frantically asked me to make a baby shower card for her friend's shower that she was going to attend in about an hour...lol!  Go figure that she waits till the last minute to ask me to make a card.  Like I said previously, I usually make 2 at a time.  Usually they are the similar but different.  This doesn't take too long and I find that I waste less paper by doing it this way.  She chose the one with the whale on it and I saved the other for another day.  I made a box with separators and labels so that I could keep everything organized.  I'll post it later this month.

Inchie Christmas Cards

Here are more of my Christmas Cards for this year.  I've been doing so many this year.  I usually do 2 that are similar but different so that I can use all of the paper that I cut.  I got this very small snowflake punch and wanted to do some inchie cards. You can see where I put the snowflakes on the inchies.  I will be posting more this week so come back to see all that I've done.  Have a great day...thanks for looking
