Macho Penguin

This guy is on a mission. Can't you just read his mind? Trying to be all macho.  Anyway that's the way I see him.  There's a novel behind every card.  Hmm! Do I need  help?

This is a Mo's Digital Pencil image.  I just love the digitals. You can size them to suite your card.  I colored him with Copics and shaded with pencil and Gamsol.  I did a little bit of faux stitching and mounted him on some My Mind's Eye paper.  The sentiment is another used stamp find.

Which do you like?

This is Mo's Digital Pencil image that I colored two different ways.  I really can't decide which one I like best. The artist is one of my most favorites.

On the second card I used liquid perils for a pretty snow effect.

The stamp is Mo's Digital Pencil.  The Paper on the first is My Mind's Eye.  The second card, I think is K&Company paper. Both images were colored with Copics and shaded with pencil.  I used Stickles on boughs of both cards and a different Spellbinders dies for each.

Sing along

I can only imagine what caroling cats would sound like.  If I were to audition to join them, they would definitely say "No Way." If only they could hear how wonderful I sing in the shower.

Whatever. These felines just sang there way onto my paper.  Aren't they cute?

This is a  Mo Manning Digital Pencil. I colored them with pencil and Gamsol. This is a square card, so I had to  improvise a little with the Cuttlebug embossing folder. The paper is from My Mind's Eye and I have one more sheet left that I am hording. I cut them in a Spellbinder's round die and matted it with a Martha Stewart punch.



All Better

Well, I am back, but not happy.  Formatting went very well. I've got everything back and running, but I cannot get the upgrade @!#$%.  Deep breaths! Deep breaths!

Now let's talk tranquility, joy and peace. This little guy is so sweet he just calmed me right down..

All better!

The Artist is Carolyn Shores Wright. The the stamp is from Stamps Happen. I stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black, Colored with Copics, pencil and Gamsol.  I used Spellbinders die and mounted it on some paper, that I have no idea where it come from other than the scraps I keep. I also used a Martha Stewart Punch for the lace.

Plum Purdy

I started this last night.  At the time the blue seamed like a nice idea, but now I'm not so sure. 

The Stamp is by Plum Purdy Stamps.  The name says it all.  Her designs are mostly for tole painting, but she does carry a small line of stamps.  I really wish she would do more. I have a couple of her Christmas stamps I will post later.  Colored with Copics and pencil.

Taking care of business

Well, I want to post again before I format my PC.  My hubby bought me Windows 7 last year for Christmas, and I think I should install it before this Christmas.  So just in case things don't go well...

This is another "to do" item that was put off.  I've got the card made, now I just got to deliver it with the gift. I think I'll do that right after I format.

The stamp is Inkadinkado. The sentiment is G Studio. I colored with Copics, and used the Spellbinders Pasley dies.  The paper is K&Company.

Penny Black Autumnal Gifts Cling Stamp

This is my only other Thanksgiving Card.  I can't believe I've only made two so far.  Fall colors are my favorite.

I used Copics and pencil with gamsol.  Added just a hint of Stickles to the wheat. I used a Spellbinders label die and then matted it with a Martha Stewart punch.

Back track.

My first post was a winter card.  Today, I am posting a Thanksgiing card. Don't try to follow my logic. There is none.

This is a Stampin Up stamp I bought at a rummage.  There were 3 seasons in a plastic sack.  The date on the stamp is 2003 and I think the set is discontinued.  I colored it with Copics, and blended the background with pencil.  The paper is from K&Company, Fall Harvest specialty pad.  I also used Stickles on the pumpkin, but the glitter never shows up in the photos. As I was putting the completed project away, I smudged the glitter. But, oh well... It is a hand made card. Right?

My first Post. Here we go!

So, here we have it.  And let me say, I am glad I waited to do this.  Awhile back I ran across some of the very first cards I made.  Eeek!  I can't believe I actually gave them to people.  Well, most were family, so they have to love me. This is one of my first Christmas cards of the season.  I used pencils and gamsol. The stamp is "Snuggle Season" from Stampendous.  The paper is Wonderful Season from My Mind's Eye.The white backround was done with a Quickutz embossing folder. Also used was a Spellbinders label die and the  border die was from Papertreyink.
