Fall Pumpkins

I do love fall images....pumpkins espcially although none of the pumpkins I tried to grow went anywhere this year!

I watercolored this card which I don't do that often and forget how much I like to use my water color pencils. Can't tell from the picture but the berries are shiny added crystal lacquer to them. I think this is a Great Impressions stamp. My daughter turns 11 today - feeling old!

Wow where does the time go?

I have had some time to make some cards but I feel like by the time I get out of work, get lunches made, dinner made, house picked up, laundry done, finish yelling at my daughter for whatever the night is over and it's time for bed and I get up the next morning and do it all over again!!!

But here are a few I have manged to get done. This is an older Penny Black image that I just recently got.....colored with pencils, didn't add to much to this no flowers!!!

This is a Stampendous Fluffles stamp - who doesn't love this naughty kitty!! I don't remember the tine of paper but it's really pretty, I picked it up at a stamp store in Marlborough. Added a tree brad, colored with penciles and a little gold ribbon.

New Cards

I LOVE this Penny Black image and the paper is super bright and colorful...colored with pencils and added flowers (of course). Used my nesties to cut the scallop circles.

One of the cutest Penny Black cats stamps ever! Colored with pencils and gamsol pretty color combo.

Christmas In July

Felt like doing something different...so Christmas it is. First pic is an absolutely adorable Penny Black pig so cute, second is a Dustin Pike digi. Both colored with pencils and gamsol. On the Santa I puffed up his beard and added a pom pom and crystal effects to his boots. The snowflaks are plastic and really cute!

Dustin Pike Image

I love this elephant...I've already used this a bunch of times. Colored with pencils and gamsol.

Penny Black Dog

One of my favorite Penny Black Stamps - colored with pencils and gamsol. Had this paper in my stash and it was perfect. Used my nesties, added ribbon and buttons. Had some time to make a couple cards this weekend. Enjoy!

Alone Time

Angelina is at her dads and Mark is racing so I had some time to make some cards - still trying to get back "into the groove" of making cards. Struggling but I did get a few done...super cute Dustin Pike digital image....lots of flowers on this one!

On of my favorite Penny Black images....

Trying to make time...

I'm doing my best to try to make some time to get some cards done...it really does relax me and I so need that right now. Did get the news that Mark will be laid off the end of June....things are really, really, really yucky at work right now. I did go to NYC over the weekend and went to see Ellis Island (which made me cry) and the Statue of Liberty - climbed the stairs - holy cow could I be anymore out of shape!!! Anyhow - made this card with a Dustin Pike digital image so stinking cute although (sorry to those I offend) I am not fond of monkeys they scare me a lil bit! LOL. Enjoy.

Killer Chihuahua

Meet Dominic....1.7 lbs of sheer terror....our newest addition - he is 10 weeks old and super stinking cute!

Finally....

Finally (thanks Diane for the boost) picked up my pencils and made a few cards....


One of my new Dustin Pike rubber stamps - paper is all from Close to my Heart.

Penny Black hedgehog! Can't really see it but the flowers are colored with Twinling H2O's (which YAY is not going out of business!!!!).
