Sorry I Have Been Away SOOO Long....

It has been a weird week!! I haven't even touched rubber to ink since last weekend and I am going through withdrawls!! Today I got to play a little...I got a couple of swap cards made...

This gorgeous tree is part of a SU set called Thoughts and Prayers. I used my markers on it to get the leaves green and trunk and branches brown...it works wonderfully! The PP is some from my stash I got at Hobby Lobby. I ran the maroon through the good ol' Cuttlebug, and used nesties to cut the circles. Pretty quick little card once I figured out what I wanted to do...LOL!

I have some cards I WANT to make tomorrow, so I WILL be back...that is a promise and a threat....LOL! Have a Wonderful night, and thanks for stopping in!

Happy Easter!!

I hope everyone is having a FABULOUS Easter Sunday!! Today I have a Mother's Day card to show you...LOL! I just LOVE this Flutterby set by TAC!! You can plan on seeing many more cards using this beauty!

This card was meant to go in a totally different direction! Have you ever done that? Started with a sketch and chucked it because it just wasn't working?? Oh well, I am happy with it!

I watercolored the Butterfly using my pencils and aquabrush..I love the softness it gives! The layers are all pretty self-explanitory and the sentiment is computer generated. I got the pretty little purple pearls in the corner from my friend Cindy, and they match perfectly. The PP is from my stash...old stash! I have been trying to use some of the older PP I have been hoarding, because I can't seem to stop buying new...hehehe.

Today I have to get the potatoe salad made, so I dunno if I will get anything made with paper and rubber. I hope so! I hope everyone has a very Blessed Happy Easter!!

Gorgeous Saturday!

It is sunny and bright out there today...YAY!! Hopefully, we will have a Glorious Easter Sunday! Today I had a couple swap cards to make, so I went to the Clean & Simple Blog to check out this weeks FTS. I really liked it, so this is the card I made. Simple White for the base card, a layer of black that I used a Martha Stewart Border Punch on, then Cuttlebugged another white layer. Used SU Mini Dies to cut the flower leaves, stamped and matted the sentiment, and finished it off. Simple, but pretty.

I have another in the works, so I might get back later. If not, I would like to wish everyone a Blessed Easter!!

Feeling Better....

I was feeling MUCH better yesterday afternoon, so I played along with the Mojo Monday Challenge. I needed cards for a Birds Of A Feather Swap that had to go out right away, so that is why I used the little bird from Snag'em Stamps. The PP is an old SU package. I love 2 sided PP, you can just flip it and have a perfect match!! The sentiment is computer generated. The Primas were from my stash... I matted everything with black to make it POP! Love my black...can you tell? hehehe

Nothing complicated...and I love this sketch, so look for another card using it later today!!

I am at work....YAY....so I will see you all later! Have a terrific Tuesday!!

It's Monday....

I managed to get a card done this weekend while the kids were here!! Actually, I made 3 like this for a swap. Very easy...the little Bunny is from Hobby Lobby and made by Rubber Stampede. I used a light blue to outline his face, ears, and paws, then colored in his ears and nose. Mounted the trio on pale lavendar and a purple CB panel. Then used dimentionals to mount it all on a pale lavendar card base. The sentiment is by Hero Arts and flanked with bright pink flat-back pearls from Clear Dollar Stamps. Fast and easy....
I am home with the flu today...NOT FUN! I hope to feel better later so I can do some stamping! I hope you all have a wonderful Monday, and will be back later!!

2 for a Cause

I was blog hopping ( what else is new?) and last week found at Jen Tepler's Blog that she is giving away blog candy for a cause! Please be sure to hop over there and check it out!! She is going to donate cards made by bloggers around the world to the Alzheimer's Association. This is a cause close to MANY people's hearts, and mine is included. Thus, these cards are going to Jen...
I was thrilled to get to create lastnight...I actually got 3 cards made lastnight!! I have been wanting to do a couple of pretty cards for the Alzheimer's Assoc. since seeing Jen's Blog, and FINALLY got them done! hehehehe They are pretty self-explanatory, I guess.

I need to make dinner....I am exhausted from work this week, so it will be a LAZY evening in the Temple household!! I hope to be back later to show you the other card I made lastnight....

I have been known to chat a while with Cindy, but other than that....NADA!! I have some things started, so I will work on them and get a post going. Thanks to all for being so kind...
