Easter Goodies!

Hello, it seems that with my recent travels to South Georgia and the opening home game of the Washington Nationals I neglected to post an Easter card I created.

This card was made with an Impression Obsession set which you can buy at Angela's Happy Stamper. I used the Rosie's Roadshow cloud template (you can also get this at Angela's) to make the sky and Copic markers to color the bunnies and their eggs.

Naitonals Opening Day!

Hello,

Today is the home opener of the Washington Nationals! I'm heading to the ballpark for a day of cool air, great food and most of all .... baseball!

I'll post some of my pix later on - have a great spring day!

Another Swap!

Hello,

My Art Tarts group had a swap in March. The guidelines were to use something from all the gifts we gave each other for Christmas. The gifts included a huge pack of beautiful papers, stamps from Inkadinkado and a variety of adhesives and a tote.

This is the card that I made for the swap. It was made by stamping the butterfly on a patterened paper and cutting it out. I also added the green swirlies to the flowered background paper for the mat. The stripes were made from extra cardstock I had. I added the sentiment and it was finished.

Hello, this weekend I have been busy making cards for contests on two blogs I follow. Both are Memory Box blogs.

This first card was made for my friend Laura's Memory Box blog which you can find at Color Whimsy. Her challenge was to use markers and at least one new stamp from Memory Box. I used Copic Markers, all Memory Box papers and stamps.


The second card is for the blog Create x3 and the challenge was to use a specific sketch for my creation.

Both contests are offering a $100 prize to their winners. Wish me luck - but most of all, check out all the blogs for fun and inspiring ideas.

Three Ideas - Lots of Rhinestones!

Hello,

The first card on this posting is different than what I usually make. I had a new set of stamps and wanted to make three different cards from the one set - so I was aiming for a different style for each card.

The stamps are made by Cornish Heritage Farms. I am fortunate to have a great local stamp store, Angelas Happy Stamper in Reston, Virginia, where I got these stamps.

I've also posted the other two here to show the differences. One I have posted before, but what the heck. Enjoy -- Chrisi

Happy Birthday Harriett!

Happy birthday to my friend Harriett!

This is the card I made her - hopefully it arrived before I posted it.

The card is made with a variety of stuff. Flower stamp by Stampin' Up, paper by Memory Box, Happy Birthday stamp by Dee Gruenig. I used a Paper Source card and Versafine Ink in Spanish Moss (I couldn't live without that color). Add a ribbon and it's all done.

Enjoy your day!
