<b>My baby sister decided to get married again. This makes number three and three's a charm right! I think she got it right this time. They are perfect for each other. I wanted to make her a wall hanging. There still is a frame to add or use a canvas, I haven't made up my mind yet. In the photo are her gorgeous grandchildren and her new step son. She had them all join her wedding. These kids are so adorable and I love them so much. She really made them so much a part of the wedding. It was just beautiful. I hope they always remember their G-Ma made her wedding party out of grandchildren. She didn't forget her own kids either. They all played parts.</b></div>

<b>My sister, Rebecca (Becky) has had a birthday (in May) and this is the card I made for her. I wanted it to be fun and I have a few stamps with two older ladies. It took a bit but I decided to go with this one. </b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>The stamps I used are <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/j117.html" target="_blank">Mable & Vera Cruzn' (J117)</a> and <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/c478.html" target="_blank">Wild! (C478)</a> from <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/" target="_blank">Great Impressions</a>. Becky is a wild child so I had to choose the Wild! stamp. This is colored with Copic markers and the glass areas have Glastique on them to make them shine. I did a fuzzy cut and put it on an embossed circle background.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>Becky has influenced me in many techniques and I wanted to show them here. The background I made is done with ColorBurst. Green is Becky's favorite color so this had to be done in green. She also had given me a challenge once to use sequins so they had to be included as well. I also added a green and gold washi tape at the bottom.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>I want to remind you there is still a few days to enter our June challenge with this as the prize</b></center>

<b>Hello All and Happy Friday! I'm here sharing another card made for <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Great Impressions</a>.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>I am a huge fan of butterflies so when I saw this stamp I just had to get it. This is called <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/c413.html" target="_blank">"Delicate Butterflies" (C413)</a>. I stamped it all over the card with Versamark and then embossed it with Super Fine Black. The stamp is rather small and I wanted to make sure you could see the definition. I used some distress inks to make them flying in the sky then colored them with Copic markers.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>The sentiment is part of a set called <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/e791.html" target="_blank">"Sweet Sentiments" (E791)</a>. It includes "Thinking of You" and "Happy Birthday" along with the "Get Well". I really like the font for this. I die cut the circle of butterflies and then stamped in the center. It looked a little off so I stamped some butterflies there too. I added ribbon and flowers to finish it off.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>I also want to remind you of the <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/search/label/Challenge" target="_blank">June Challenge at Great Impressions</a>. Our challenge this month is "Masculine" and here is the prize you can win.</b></center>

<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>Oh my gosh...this is just so cute!</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>Masculine is a hard card for me to do. I just have no men in my life. I've been divorced forever and have only daughters. Everyone in my home is female and has been for many many years. So for masculine cards I tend to look at my extended family.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>I knew my nephew would be having a birthday soon so I made this for him. He is a welder and just loves his cars and really all things "guy" related. I checked with my niece for his favorite colors and was told black for vehicles but red was his favorite. I wanted to incorporate both even though it is really hard for me to do black and I'm not a fan of red. I have red hair so I can't wear red at all. I hope he enjoys it.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>The stamp I started with is <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/g536.html" target="_blank">"Flaming Truck" (G536)</a>. It is colored with Copic markers and then glazed over with Glossy Accents brushed on the truck and Glastique for the windows. I don't have any masculine papers so I made one. The paper behind the truck is just a guy carrying a tool box and holding a wrench.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>I made the base red so I wanted something between and chose silver. I embossed this and put it all together. I then stamped the sentiment <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/d390.html" target="_blank">"Becoming a Classic" (D390)</a> and placed it under the truck. I was going to add gears but they didn't work out. Most masculine cards aren't that embellished so I left it alone.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>I do hope you will check out the <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/search/label/Challenge" target="_blank">June Challenge at Great Impressions</a> and see all the DT has for you this month. See you in the challenge!</b></center>

<b>A great stamp for Father's Day!</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>For this card I used <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/e700.html" target="_blank">"Get Well Daisy (E700)</a> and <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/g403.html" target="_blank">"Daisy Border (G403)"</a>. I stamped them with Versamark and then embossed with gold. I thought it would look pretty and a nice change from black. They were then colored with Copics. I did a fussy cut on the sentiment and popped it up. I used the the other stamp on the border and then distressed with blue. </b></center>

<b>HAPPY FRIDAY!</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>The last day of the work week and I am ready for a weekend. I have for you another birthday card and a reminder. The <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/">Great Impressions Blog</a> started a new challenge this past Sunday. We are excited for the month of May. Mother's Day is coming up in a couple of days. It's a month for women and so our challenge is "Feminine". All of my cards this month for Great Impressions have flowers in them. Nothing more feminine right!</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>Today's card features <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/h255.html">"Watercolor Flowers" (H255)</a> and <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/e367.html">"Swirly Happy Birthday" (E367)</a>. This is a simple card this time. I thought since this is called Watercolor Flowers I should do a watercolor. First I stamped the image with Versamark and used some fine embossing powder. Then I took some Distress Inks and stamped them on my work matt. A spritz of water and you're ready to go. After they were dry I cut them out. I took a plane white paper and stamped the images again then used another DI and colored the paper. Finally I glued the images down on the paper where I stamped the images. Some butterfly brads and a Swirly Happy Birthday stamp and all that's left is to put it on a base card and you're done. Easy peasy!</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>

<b>I do hope to see you in the <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/search/label/Challenge">Great Impressions Blog May Challenge</a>. Here is a look at what you can win.</b></center>

<b>Happy Sunday everyone! This is the first Sunday in May so that means we have a new challenge starting at <a href="http://greatimpressionsstamps.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Great Impressions</a>. Our theme is "Feminine". Here are some examples for you.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<img alt="Image may contain: text" height="200" src="https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/17457952_1342104485835768_5775604587755148866_n.jpg?oh=5d5a29e47c42ff74dffc6a6fc1fdd4a2&oe=59B820FF" width="137" /></center>

<b>The prize is adorable!</b></center>

<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>The stamps I am using are <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/g111.html" target="_blank">"Bird and Roses" (G111)</a> and <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/j106.html" target="_blank">"The Rose" (J106)</a>. I made the background using <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/j106.html" target="_blank">"The Rose"</a>. It is embossed in Aged Rose and then I used distress inks. I colored with my Copic markers and did a fussy cut with the <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/g111.html" target="_blank">"Bird and Roses"</a> stamp. After I cut it out I added some Glastique on the branches and weaker areas.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>The frame is actually not a frame at all. After cutting the paper with the die I cut out the middle so the image would be set inside the frame. I wanted to make sure to see as much of the embossed words as possible. Instead of flowers I wanted to use these things that were attached to some silk flowers I have. I then glued them to a ribbon.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>Since it is difficult to read the words I wanted to show you what it says:</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b><i>God created the rose in the likeness of a woman.</i></b></center>
<center>
<b><i>The rose represents beauty. The stem represents</i></b></center>
<center>
<b><i>strength. Petals are soft as her delicate skin. The</i></b></center>
<center>
<b><i>fragrance so pure and so sweet. Leaves represent</i></b></center>
<center>
<b><i>arms outstretched, always giving. Each time you</i></b></center>
<center>
<b><i>look at this rose remember ... God made you special.</i></b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>Is that not a beautiful assembly of words!</b></center>

<b>The image I have been given is called Evath. She just looks so sweet and innocent. I do not often do CAS cards. I do like a bit of layering and embellishing. I had to turn to a sketch yet again. I also thought she could use an earring so I added a pink gem.</b></center>

<b>I am showcasing a stamp from <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/">Great Impressions</a> today. This is called <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/e770.html">New Day (E770)</a>. I picked this paper to go with this sentiment because it just looked like they were celebrating their day. I remember doing things like this when I was young. </b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>The blue paper atop the children is actually part of the paper. It was so far separated but I thought it should still be there so I cut it out and put it on the top. I then stamped the sentiment straight onto the paper in black ink. This is probably the most simple card I have ever done and I just love how it turned out.</b></center>

<b>I was given this lovely image called "<a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/487858727/relax-yoga-girl-digital-stamp?ref=shop_home_active_17" target="_blank">Relax Yoga Girl</a>". I'm not much of a yoga girl at all. I have no idea how they can do this. My body just won't bend that way. I colored her with my Copics but I wanted to give her a nice pattern on the clothes so I did some paper piecing.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>Sometimes I get stuck on what to do and when it comes down to the last minute I look for sketches. Luckily, I found this wonderful sketch. It was perfect for the image. Then I picked out all my paper to go with the colors for the Simon Says challenge. It really helps to find great challenges that will help your creativity along when it gets stuck in the mud.</b></center>

<b>My impression of Girlz Rule would be flowers, so I chose to use </b><b>a stamp from Heartfelt Creations. This stamp is Large Sparkling Poinsettia. It has a corresponding die but I don't have that yet. I stamped the image twice with Versamark and used some gold embossing powder. I colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them out. </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>I used some techniques I learned from a Heartfelt class I took to shape the petals and leaves then painted them with Glossy Accents. I used a paintbrush because if you put the Glossy Accents directly onto the petals they will flatten out. Finally, after they were all dry I put the flower together.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When deciding on the card to make my thoughts went to just white. So I made the card completely white with a pop of gold. I embossed with some snowflakes then popped that layer up on the base card. I stamped the sentiment on white and lined it with gold (my sister's idea) and popped it up.</b></div>

<b>Aren't these ladies just adorable! I'm sharing a card today featuring <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/catalogsearch/result?q=j122" target="_blank">Vera and Mable Doing the Charleston (J122)</a> from <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/" target="_blank">Great Impressions</a>. I saw this and thought of my sister and I. Both of us have bad backs so this probably would never happen but you never know.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>I have colored them with Copic markers then added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls. I also thought since they are supposed to be "old ladies" I would use an embossing folder with quilting on it and add some ribbon. I wanted the background to be sheet music but none of the music I found seemed right. Then I thought why not see if I could find the sheet music for the Charleston. I found it! So the music behind them is the music they are dancing to. The notes are metal that I dipped into black paint. Finally, I have added the sentiment <a href="http://www.greatimpressionsstamps.com/ecommerce/e857.html" target="_blank">Dance (E857)</a>. </b></center>

<b>He is just so adorable!! He was a bit early and had to stay in NICU for a bit but was able to come home on Friday. His three year old big sister is just loving him too.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>So this lovely little boy is why I have had baby on the brain for so long. He is finally here and this may be my last new baby card for a bit. I was going to make one girl and one boy but I messed up on one of them so only the boy lamb survived. </b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>I have made this card for the new challenge starting today at <a href="http://craftingwhenwecanchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Crafting When We Can</a>. Our challenge is "Animal as Main Character". We are sponsored by our very own Poppet!</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>This little lamb is from Limited Runs. I have colored him with Copics and added some Liquid Applique to add a bit of wool to him. I wanted to leave as much of the DP as possible so I did a bit of a CAS look. </b></center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
<b>I had this sentiment for a while from Create with TLC. Glad I finally got to use it.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>Now pop on over to the <a href="http://craftingwhenwecanchallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">CWWC</a> blog and see what all the DT have created to inspire you. Hope to see you in the challenge!</b></center>

<b>Today I am excited to tell you I am a Guest Designer for <a href="http://thepapergirlschallenge.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">The Paper Girls Challenge</a>. The challenge is "Kid Birthday". </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>This was perfect for me because I have a sweet little girl that has asked me to make her a birthday card. Jacintasia is my friend's child. She has recently turned eight. She asked me to make her a pop up card with Olaf on it. Last year she wanted Elsa. She is still loving Frozen.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>She loves glitter so I have outlined all the embossing with Stickles. The image is fussy cut and then popped up with foam squares. I found this cute tag and used it for her pop up part. It was perfect to stamp Happy Birthday on.</b></div>

<center>
<b>The image I am using is called "<a href="http://www.fabrikafantasy.com/earth-fairy-digital-stamp.php#.WMyA-PkrKM8" target="_blank">Earth Fairy</a>". This comes colored or not. First I colored her with my Copic markers and then die cut the image. Unfortunately, I forgot the challenge was circles and I used a rectangle. So I printed out the colored one and changed the colors on some of it then added Stickles and Glastique. Normally I don't use the colored images but I was lacking in time.</b></center>
<center>
<b><br /></b></center>
<center>
<b>For my circles I used a scalloped die and circle flowers. I wanted to go mostly green (it's my fave color) because she is called Earth Fairy. The earth is mostly green (except for the water) so I thought she should be green.</b></center>

<b>Lexi just loves cats! Her preference is the cheetah. I didn't have a cheetah stamp but since she is also a hip hop dancer I decided to go with a dancing cat. For this one I stamped this twice and did a mask so that I could do a bit of distressing around the cat.</b></center>
