Memories

Made this prototype for LJ's spring swap. Also, to join in the festivities in the Forest.....

We had lilies of the valley all over our yard when I was a child....will always associate them with my favorite thinking spot. My friend, Holly, always knew she could find me there!

Year one comes to a close

I am truly ecstatic to have completed year one of Calendar Girl posts! I have had so much fun! This final post of 2011 was a ton of fun! It was a Mystery Word given to each of us by the 'month' ahead of us!

My mystery word is:
MASTERPIECE

Before I show you my card, let me tell you what went through my head when Kelly gave it to me.

Yep, first I drew a blank. Then, I said the word and thought of an art museum. This in turn made me think of ornate frames. And that was my starting point to my card.

I went with a folded paper frame (found the tutorial here on SCS). I knew I wanted to use that DP and the color purple, but the DP has white on the reverse. That is why I went with the purple highlighted with the green. I kept that pattern the same over the whole project. I colored the watercolor scene with a blendy pen and CTMH markers ~ image by Robyn's Fetishes. Then I knew I wanted to use the bird from Delicious Doodles as a chickadee and put it in front of the scene I framed! I used the same coloring technique here...lol. Because I felt the card was right side heavy, I added some festive bling to the left! These brads are also from CTMH.



I hope you enjoy my "masterpiece"! Please check out the rest of the Calendar Girls blogs and leave them some love!!

More Christmas cards

Well, with a couple days left til Christmas, I only have cards for those near and dear to me left to do. PHEW!

After Mike, my DH, saw the stage card I made for my friend, he 'requested' one. Did he not hear my mumbles and not nice words while making the first one?? Needless to say, here is his....






Then life snowballed, not literally (we are actually praying for some snow ~ not just here, but for the Santi family too!), but then everyone thought they should have a stage card.

NOPE, didn't happen!

Kyle will be receiving this cute pop open box. I thank Sabrina for this awesome idea. My snowman came from here (I just googled and found it; printed two per 8.5 by 11 piece of paper).







Shelly, my SIL will be getting this one! How cute is Riley?? It's not on a stage and does not pop, but it will stand up when opened!




Sorry for the shortness of this and lack of details. If you have any questions, just ask and I will get you the info!

Of to make a couple more cards while I can....lol
