New Stamp

A friend of mine gave me some stamps to use today and I just had to come home and ink them up.... in real life this card looks old and primitive but because i have no idea how to use my camera other than point and shoot it doesn't do it justice here...but i love the card and have other thing floating in my head to make with them..... maybe I won't forget....

DZ Doodle and Whimsey Doodle Images

I made these 2 cards today one using DZ Doodle digital images Toby Turtle and Thank You Bear from Whimsey Doodle.... I love coloring with my copics and these images are so much fun to color.... Sometimes I have to think hard about how to get them on to a card and make it look right.... these 2 were no exceptions.... Let me introduce Toby Turtle and Thank You Bear

Happy Rainy Sunday

Boy I have been busy today.... made several cards but have lots more to do before Homecoming in October

The first one is a Happy Birthday Card....2nd one is another rose that I am sending to my Secret Sis in Australia....both roses were embossed and then colored with SU inks.... and the 3rd is a sunflower from KLM Designs that I colored with my copics and the 4th is a fall flower that I embossed and colored with SU inks...

Happy Saturday....

I have been making some cards but haven't posted because camera had to be charged... today I also changed the somethings on my camera and the picture are so much better I thinks....
