My New Sizzix Fish .....

Hi Crafters:

Well, this is a sketch challenge and I used my new Sizzix fish for the graphic - now isn't he just the cutest? .......and of course I did this card in black and white - one of my favs. I used the Cuttlebug 'bubbles' EF and of course cut the fish a couple times to get the polka dot fins etc. The sentiment was generated on the computer using a 'bubbles' font and I added some bubbles on either end of the sentiment. The white part of the card always looks a bit yellow when one takes a photo in the evening. Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.

P.S. I took another picture this morning, now the 'white' is very 'white! (lol)

A Few Cards I Have Made

Hi Crafters:
Well, I haven't posted since Halloween, but I thought I would show you a few cards I've made in the last week. Most of them are 3D'd, Cuttlebug Challenge or Tracey's Flowers (Fred, She Said). I won't explain them all but didn't want you to think I was sitting idle. (lol). Hope you like them.

Happy Halloween!

Hello Crafters:

I just had to share my "grand-dog" in her pirate costume - she will be wearing this when the kids come to the door tonight...........aw............so cute eh? Our son and granddaughter brought Chili over this morning so we could see her dressed up.

Hope you all have a great Halloween .

First Attempt At A Shadow Box Card

Hi Crafters:

Well, on PCP, we had to make a shadow box card (Cuttlebug Challenge) and use two Nesties that compliment one another (in our Cuttlebug) - I chose the ovals. For my shadow box graphic, I used Tracey's lovely digi flowers (from Fred, She Said), then punched trim with my scalloped edge punch for the sides - the little leaves are punched as well and added some stick-on pearls to dress it up. Hope you like it and thanks for coming by.

My Halloween Cards for 2009

Hi Girls:

Well, I made all of these Halloween cards on my Cricut this year and I must say, I'm quite pleased with them. Hope you like them and thanks for stopping by.

Haunted House

Hello crafters - I've not posted much - have been working on Christmas cards and not felt well for some time (off and on) but I do want to share a Cuttlebug Challenge card I did for PCP. I used Whitewash Colour-Core cardstock and ran the CS through the Cuttlebug using the Haunted House EF - the little die cuts are also Cuttlebugged. I was pleased how the haunted house really came through after sanding (lots of sanding on this one). Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.
