Double Vodkas Card

Sharing a fun birthday card with you today. This card also fits the bill at Flourishes Timeless Tuesday which is to have some borders on your card. I used two Sizzix decorative strip borders at the bottom. The funny image at the top is by Crafty secrets. The butterfly punch is by Martha Stewart and the patterned paper is by Diecuts With A View. Since this is a tall card, it also fits the challenge going on at Caardvarks right now.

Hope you are having a great Wednesday. Today is my Mom's birthday and I'm baking her a cake. The house smells so good right now. :) Another great thing about today is that the sun is shining. We've had cloudy rainy weather so much the last few weeks. Time to ice the cake.....will save you a piece. :)

Signs You Are Getting Old Card

Have a quick post tonight. I wanted to do the challenge at 365 Cards/Day 241 of creating a list on your card. I did the "Signs You Are Getting Old" list. :) (And I can relate to some of the things on the list....yipes!) :)

This card will also fit into two other challenge sites. Papertake Weekly's challenge is to have spots and stripes on your creation. I used some striped ribbon and my spots are the small blue brads. :) Pile It On has a challenge of using blue, green and yellow on your crafty project. The ribbon has those colors.

Got to run. My couch is calling my name. It has been a LONG day. :)

Secret Of Staying Young Card

The challenge at If The Shoe Fits... is to use only blue, white and silver on your creation. I did a fun birthday card using a vintage image by Lunagirl. The patterned paper is by Diecuts With A View while the embossing folder is by Sizzix. The dark blue flowers are by Prima Marketing. The sentiment is computer generated. The silver foil board is by Grafix (love this stuff). :)

Off to do some ironing before I give it up for the night. Looking forward to watching David Letterman and relaxing. It's been a long day. :)

Fabulous Birthday Card

The challenge at 365 Cards/Day 240 is to use a stick pin or safety pin with beads and/or charm/s on your card. I used some small safety pins and added some seed beads to them. The image is by Crafty Secrets. The patterned paper is by Diecuts With A View and the tag is by Making Memories. The "happy day" rubber stamp is by Hampton Art. The flowers and crocheted looking trim are by Prima Marketing. I love to do funny cards particularly birthday cards. :)

This has been a busy day of doing the things we all hate but have to do anyway. Like laundry, vacuuming, etc. I love that old Joan Rivers quote about housework that goes like...."I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again." Except at my house, you do it everyday. :)

Hocus Pocus Cards

The movie Hocus Pocus is the featured flick at Cinema Saturday Creative Challenge. This was one of my oldest daughter's favorite movies. We have a VHS copy of it that we bought when she was little. We've watched that movie a lot! :) This card also fits the challenge at Our Creative Corner of doing a project inspired by your favorite holiday book or movie. This is definitely our favorite "Halloween holiday" movie. :) The challenge at My Time To Craft is to use Halloween colors so these two cards fit that one too. :)


The "Your Mummy Loves You" has papers by My Mind's Eye (The Spider's Web Collection).
The cardstock stickers plus epoxy sticker are by Little Yellow Bicycle (Trick Or Treat Collection). The jeweled spider brad is by Making Memories plus I added some orange rhinestones by KaiserCraft to the patterned paper spiders. The vintage mummy image is computer generated. I think this card will be perfect to send to my daughter at college. :)

The "Hocus Pocus" card has a sticker by BoBunny that I designed the card around. The witch hat and shoes are diecuts by Sizzix (also the ric rac looking strips). The little spider is a sticker from Little Yellow Bicycle (from their last year's Halloween collection). Fast and easy! :)

***Also, one more little note. Brook (from Cinema Saturday Creative Challenges) is doing a blog candy. You can find out all about it at her blog which is [Designs By Brooke].

The Halloween Hourglass Card

The challenge at 365 Cards for day 239 is based on a sketch. This is my creation for it. I think it looks like a creepy old hourglass. :) The patterned papers are by Basic Grey (new Eerie Collection). The epoxy stickers and flocked brad are by Little Yellow Bicycle (Trick Or Treat Collection). The pretty orange flower is by Prima Marketing.

Caardvarks also has a challenge going on for creating a tall card. This card fits that one too. :)

All White Thank You Card

The challenge at Color Create is to have a primarily white card. This card is prettier in person than it photographed. (You'll have to take my word for it.) :)
I used an embossing folder from Sizzix and black rhinestones for the centers of the embossed flowers.
Hope your Sunday is going well. My youngest and I are having a relaxing afternoon watching some old DVD movies. We are watching "The Goonies" presently. I love watching a good "old" movie with her that she has never seen before....priceless. :)
