New Look

I decided to go for a makeover and I think it looks great. Thank you to Nikki from Blogs for a Cause for making my blog look so much better.

I really need to get creative but my tendonitis and carpal tunnel have been causing me a lot of pain and anguish so I haven't been doing much of anything lately. Working on a new scarf, I have a few available for purchase and will try to post them later this week.

Stipple Rose

Single stamp sets are so much easier to remember. For this card I used Purely Pomegranate ink for the rose and embossed it with clear powder. I also tried sponging the card with the same ink, doesn't look too bad. Then I colored it in with my watercolour pencils, my staple. Added a bit of sparkle ribbon and voila!

Stampin Up

I am really bad at remembering the set names when it comes time to post so please forgive me. This cute set made a cute card, really like the bright colours, then again I love bright colours. Hope you like it!

Club Stamp & SU

Made this cute little card with some Club Stamp paper, Cuttlebug and SU set. Really like the little card, so cute but just perfect. Glad I was able to make some cards this week, trying to get out of a slump.

Club Stamp

Used one of my Club Stamp kits for this cards and the SU Background stamp. I kind of like how it looks, with just two colours, nice and simple.

Winter Card

This card is more a winter theme than Christmas, I love using blues for cards.

Baby Boy Card

I had a co-worker needing a baby boy card, so here is what I came up with. These stamps are all from High Hopes Rubber stamps, there is a link on my blog on the right hand side closer to the bottom.

Christmas Cards

I am a little behind in posting some cards I made for an exchange, so here they are! I used my new Cuttlebug that I got for my birthday for the embossed backgrounds, I love it.

Bluer than Blue

I know this is unrelated but I am more depressed than usual. I don't know if it's because Christmas is coming, my birthday coming, or not being married and having kids. I just feel so alone and long to hold Maylin in my arms. Fundraising isn't going so well and I wonder if it's God's way of saying Maylin will never come home. All I want for Christmas is to be married and get a good start on funds for Maylin's adoption. All I want to do is cry right now.

Dreams and Dragons

I had to make a birthday card for a boy and with my limited sets that even could be used for a boy, this one came in handy. I love the dragon and thought this was perfect and I hope the little boy likes it.
