Birthday Card

This card was made for my daughter using a couple of retired sets from Stampin Up (little girl and balloons). The clouds are from a CTMH stamp. The butterlies are from the Stampin Up sizzix beautiful wings die which I have placed a pearl in the center of the butterflies. The grass is from a TAC stamp set which I stamped in wild wasabi ink from SU and sponged around the bottom edge in the same ink color. The clouds and girl were masked and sponged with SU sky ink as well. I then cut the image out with my nestabilities and layed with another nestabilitie die. The balloons were stamped on different patterened papers and cut out. I then placed them on foam dots to add dimension. I adhered some white floss for the strings of the balloons and attached them to her hand, I added the button for a little added interest. The girls overalls and top were paper pieced and shaded with markers.

C.C. Designs card with Fancy Nancy papers

My daughter needed to make a card for her classroom aide and this is what we came up with. She picked out the colors and stamp and mom helped with the layout and coloring.

This card was made using the Fancy Nancy designer paper pack. I used the card base cutout from the stack as our base. The girl is from C.C. Designs which I paper pieced from the stack and colored with the few copic markers that I have and popped her up with mounting foam. I then added glossy accents to her flower and also on the butterfly on the cs layer punchout. The rosette is made from Tim Holtz rosette die with the Fancy Nancy paper. The sentiment is from Stampin Up cut into a banner shape.

The tree was colored with chalks. The bird she used her crayons on and the smiling flower was paper pieced that she cut out herself

Winter mini album

This mini album was made for my daughter-in-law who does not scrapbook, so I kept the mini very simple. I used DCWV winter stack that I am still trying to use up that I had bought a few years ago. The stamps are from Studio G and Stampin Up. The snowflake embellisments are confetti from Walmart. and I used Tim Holtz on the edge die for the pockets. I used Kathy Orta's card and envelope technique for the mini. The cards and envelopes are Recollections from Michaels. For more pictures I have added a slide show of the mini in detail.
