More cards

As I was going through my pictures of cards that I made, I found these two that I truly enjoyed making.

The card below is the Christmas card I made last year. I used Stampin Up's "Sassy & Seasonal" stamp set. It's such a diva card!!!


The card below is one that I made for my friend Margaret's birthday. Take a close look at the purse. Margaret's favorite purse is Dooney & Burke!!! I used Stampin Up's "Totally Cool" stamp set for this card.

September 2007 - Office Swap

Sorry it's been so long that I've blogged. I'm finally back to work after 6 long weeks of recuperating after my surgery. I am so glad to be back at work with my lovely staff. The first week back, we scheduled a card making session during our lunch break, at which point we decided to do another swap. Below is a picture of the card I made for the swap.

Cuttlebug

I love my Cuttlebug!!! I was on cloud nine when I finally purchased it. I like it much better then the Sizzix cutting system. I highly recommend the Cuttlebug to all stampers and scrappers. I came across this Cuttlebug review on another blog and I thought it was worth sharing! If you want to see the official Provocraft Cuttlebug video click here.

Halloween Cards, 2006

Below are last year's Halloween cards I made for my nephew and neice.

Card Information:

I used SU's "Web Wishes" and "Alphabits." For my nephew's name, I used the 1/4-inch square punch and for my niece's name, I used the 1/4-inch circle punch. I mailed these cards with some candy. They sure do like their sweets!

Get Well Card

This is a card I made for a friend who was very sick with a nasty cough, that she pulled her back and was laid up for a couple of weeks.

Card Information:

I love to use chalk and was looking forward to using the pastel blue for the vase. I wanted something Spring-like to perk up my dear friend who was home sick and hasn't seen the outdoors for a number of days.

2007 Mother's Day Card

As promised, below is my Mother's Day card I made for my mommy this year. Being European, coffee has always been a staple in our home. As little kids, my brother and I had coffee (with lots of milk) for breakfast every morning ... just what my brother needed!!! He was hyperactive as is without the extra caffiene!!!! Well, that's a whole different subject we'll definitely touch on later.

Card information:

Being a huge chalk fan, I used SU's pastel chalks for this card. I stamped the "Coffee Girl" with SU's markers. I outlined the picture with a gold glitter pen to add a touch of elegance. I also used SU's "Like a Latte" coffee beans stamp as the background.
