Lisa’s Handmade Cards

I made this card for a fabulous top notch friend who is having a birthday tomorrow. …it’s going to be a little late. Happy Birthday Ricky! I locked myself and my family out of the house yesterday for the second time. I swear I am loosing it. I left my key in the house and my husbands key was at the shop with our one and only car. Thank goodness we have family that lives close! We stayed at family members houses for two days while waiting for our car. It was a relaxing but now I’m way behind on my crafting/orders.

Anyway, all the patterned papers and brads are Bo Bunny (thanks Marianne!). I used cuttlebug folder Perfect Paisley and Swiss Dots. Gavin the Givin’ Dragon stamp is from High Hopes. The sentiment is a rub-on.

Challenges entered-

I followed the sketch at Moving Along with the Times.

High Hopes challenge is to add texture.

SophistiCat Challenge is embossing.

Stamp with Fun’s challenge is stitching.

Project #15

This weeks challenge at Squigglefly is to use an animal image. I used Doggie Pile by artist Crissy Armstrong. I adore all her images. I love how this card turned out. It’s lacking some embellishment flair but nothing seemed to fit right. So, here it is plain and fabulous. Check out the other DT girls cards too and join in the challenge!

The pattern papers are by Doodlebug. I used my cricut, sewing machine, cuttlebug, and Nestibilities too.

I’m entering this card into this weeks contests at Crafty Cardmakers (digital delights), CRAFT Challenge (digi coloring) and the ABC Challenge (N is for new- the image is new).

Here are my son’s birth announcements. As you can see he is now three months old. My goal was to have them ready before he arrived but then he came three weeks early. I’ll just pat myself on the back for getting them done  at all.

The little boy is a Whipper Snapper stamp. The sentiment is from Stampin Up. It’s one a.m. and I’m too tired/lazy to go check everything else.

I’m entering this little bit of fabulousness into the following challenges:

Simon Says- New Baby

This is my second post for the day. Thank you to my children for taking long naps this afternoon. Please scroll down to see my first card.

I adore this stamp. It is a High Hopes image of fabulousness. The patterned papers are by Scenic Route expect the snowflakes which is by Paper Salon.

I finally finished my first round of baby thank you cards. I had multiple ideas so I decided to make three different designs. I hope to get the others done soon. I used a Penny Black stamp.
