Busy as a Bee

I'm not the best at posting every day but I do the best I can. I've been trying to do as many different cards as I can. I use a lot of sketches from papercraftplanet.com and I also like to look at the Blogs I have linked on my blog for ideas.

Scraps

I have a bad habit of getting an idea for a card and just grabbing the exact color of paper I want and starting right away. For this card I decided to use only paper from my scrap bin. I think it turned out really cute. I like to do cards that aren't my standard dimensions.

Delightfully Behind

I'm sorry I haven't posted in so long. I had a wonderful visit with two of my high school friends this past week. They flew in from Pennsylvania and we had a blast. We went to the Indianapolis Zoo and to Chicago. I finally had some time to work on a card order. I usually like to get orders done a week after they are purchased but this month has been crazy so far. I used my favorite technique here. I used my cuttlebug embossing folder and then used my ink pad to color the embossed parts of the paper. I use this technique a lot. Enjoy!

Pet sympathy card

My Sister-in-law, Carrie's puppy just died. I'm glad I don't have to make cards like this very often but I did like using my dog/cat paper. I'm glad I had some on hand.

Happy Halloween

I made some last minute Halloween Cards. I wore the purple ribbon in my hair for my Senior High School Musical, Seussical. I was Gertrude McFuzz. I decided to finally use it. I got the stamps at Joanns. They are the dollar acrylic stamps. Let me know what you think.

It's Autumn time it's Autumns time

I was getting bored with my regular stamping and inking routine so I decided to try and do something different for this card. I knew I wanted to use yellow, red and orange. Those are my favorite fall colors. I was out walking and I saw all these beautiful leaves. I thought I could find some use for them. I just hope they don't dry up and get all nasty later on.

Kerby Doesn't like to make Toys

Do these gift card holders bring back any childhood memories for you? They do for me. The elves remind me of the elves from the cartoon Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. I love this paper. Can you tell I get in the Christmas mood early? I think it is ok because if I don't then I won't have any Christmas cards when it is Christmas season.
