Up-Cycling

Not many of you know me personally, but my family affectionately refers to me a the "Recycle Nazi". They mean no disrespect, and neither do I, but I am a bit fanatical a out recycling. I keep everything I can....almost to the extent of hoarding 'things'. One of the things I have kept...just knew I would need them some day...is the rolls from my ATG tape. Yep, the little white plastic innards! Can you find one on my card?



This card is for a swap on SCS, hosted by Jeanette, the Forest Ranger. Our theme was Rain in the Forest!

Happy Valentine's Day!

It is the 15th of the month and that can only mean one thing ~ it's time to get my duel on!
Debbie was the hostess this month for my team, the Dazzlers; while Carol led the Divas!
While they tried to make everyone think we would be crafting with spiders and squirmy pets, the actual theme was "Let Me Call You Sweetheart!"

It was an amazing kit (I have lots left over)! I used the dp from My Mind's Eye (Love Me Banners and Plaids), immies are Happy Heart Day from SU! (mouse) and Couple of Cuties and sentiments from Clear Art Stamps, and multiple embellies Debbie sent!!



This card, given to my DH yesterday, featured a criss cross pocket card. I used my Cuttlebug to cut the polka dot paper, hand trimmed the image and put the at the cross. The banner was cut from the dp; I also used the brad and flower sent. Debbie also sent the charm hanging from the banner!



I loved te other immie, but thought it would make a better tag for my son's gift. So, I trimmed around the image, punched out some hearts (the blue was from my scraps, but the plaid was in the kit); I also used one of the great candi dots sent! I tied this to a little bag of candies!

Make sure you stop and luv on the rest of the dueling teams!

Another celebration of Valentine's Day!

I loved the image I used this morning for my Puppy Love card! In fact, I colored up a few of them...lol. Here is the card I made for my FIL. Also from the CAN YOU DIGI IT? shop are the twine, button and pearls! Make sure to check them out!


This second card is one I gave to my SIL and her fiancée. I used a mishmash of products ~ SU felt flowers, a stamp from CTMH, and NEW wonderful papers from the shop; along with the rhinestones!

Happy Birthday to The Pink Elephant

The Pink Elephant (TPE) is celebrating turning three with a Sponsored challenge. And who better to sponsor them than, By LORi Designs!!

The challenge, by the way, is to use PINK on your card.

My friend Kadie, ever the enabler, knows I adore BLD little Puddle Jumpers, so I just had to ink up Ella. I am going to get this card in the mail to my BFF Cheryl who is laid up for a couple weeks. I want her to know how much I love her and hope she feels better soon!

I went all out and used some older Close To My Heart designer paper paired with some card stock scraps, ribbon from my stash, bling from Colorbok, and a making memories slide! Oh yeah, I colored Ella with my Copic's and blinged out her necklace with some silver pearl Liquid Pearls (found here).
