Liberty


I had the little Liberty Lisense plate along wiht the little tiny stars, so I decided to make a patriotic card. The flag was die cut. The little stars were attached with sticky tape.

This ATC was made by dropping blue and green ink onto a piece of wax paper then spaying it with water. I then placed a white 2 x 3 inch cardstock into the ink and let it dry for the background. When dry I stamped the barn. For the door I used Twinkling H2Os in various stages of browns and painted. When it dried I stamped the door and cut out the center. The door was placed over the stamped barn image. There was an open area, so I added "Have A good one." I layered the ATC with green and blue.

Hero Art's Cards




I have been a member of the HACE, Hero Arts Card Exchange for many years. I run a Yahoo group for this. Here are two cards made with Hero Art's Stamps. These cards celebrate Mother's and Father's Day.

Cards Made from my Slice




For my 25th anniversary at Four Winds I received a gift card for Archiver's so I purchased a digital cutting machine, a SLICE. Here are a couple of cards I made using the SLICE.

Friends Meet




We got together with Lynne and Caryn in Germantown. They are pictured here with their God Children.

It's a Party!


I love my Cuttlebug! On this card this piece of equipment was used to cut out all the images on this card. The cake was a bit of a challenge. I had to use a scissors to trim the different parts of the cake. I'm not too sure about the cake color combination, but this is what I endeed up with. All the edges were sponged to give the card some depth.

Hello



The main stamp image on this card comes from Hero Arts. I painted it with Twinkling H2Os. For the vase I added a couple of colors to create shading. The background border was done with a stamp by Club Scrap.

Happy Birthday Card

Balloons are great fun. For this card I used Stampin' Up markers to color my balloons. I added squiggly lines around the edge of the card and a couple of presents that are lifted from the page with dimensionals.
