Well here I am with a card I made using the new TAC set.
I colored with Marvey Matchables Markers Brights Set.
I used the Swiss Dots embossing folder for the Table cloth
and popped the vase and some of the tulips up. It looks too real.
What do you think?

I am in and out of my craft room, but trying to work on alot

of different things.

Catch the side view here of this card,
it was alot of fun to make. I love it when my brain works!!
Have a good day!!

Here is the birthday Card I made for my Grandson Ian. He will be 5 years old on April 26th. He loves frogs so this is Sherrif Froggie wishing him a Toadally awesome Birthday. I used 2 TAC sets for this card. Wildwest T-2633 and Hoppy Everything T-2732. I used Cowboy body and added Frog head and hands. I am using Bic markers for coloring, I got a set of 24 for $10.00 at Walmart. Works like Copic but waaay less expensive. The sky was made using cloud masks cut out of clear repositional mask. I have not been really busy making cards but I guess if I am gonna have this CPU for awhile I should at least use it to file some work on and then burn a CD of all files for my old Computer. I have been following my other bloggin Buds and added Laurie Unger, another TAC Angel. Have a good day and talk soon.

Attention followers

Hi everyone. I am here today to let you know that all is well but my cpu died during the storms
we had on Thursday evening. I am using a loaner till my Baby is fixed. I have no photo files and even all my favorite sites list is on the other computer. So I may be down for 2-4 weeks.

Good Morning! Today is Good Friday and I finished my Easter Egg Swag

I saw Melisa Waldorfs' swag and it challenged me as I was looking for something for Easter. What do yall think?

All stamps and ink are from TAC and cardstock is DCWV. Ribbon from Joanns.

I worked in my craft room a straight 5 hours on Wed.
Watched Dancing w/the Stars results, Biggest Loser, Law & Order-SVU also Without a Trace. I run 2 VCRs everynight recording 2 channels and the DVR getting the other channels.

The Letters were Burlesque 240 on PrintMaster Platinum.

I printed in reverse on 110# white card stock from Georgia Pacific (Sam's 250 sheets).

I ran the letters thru Cuttlebug with paisley and dotted swiss embossing folders.

Lightly rub ink pad over each letter andaround edges of egg after sanding.

Stamped Cute Curliques top and bottom of each egg. Palette ink in Chartruse, Paris Lights, Reflection Blue and Belle Rose Ink.

All the small stamps are from mini sets retired from TAC. The bunny on the T is from

TAC I love Easter. I was hunting all my room for a pom-pom for the bunny tail and finally found the tinsel poms I got on sale at joann's or michael's. I picked the silver since the bunny was alittle gray around edges. I hope you click on each pix and it gets larger so you can see the details up close.

Had fun making this, Thank You Melisa!! It got my Mojo working again. I don't get to many workshops around here and I live way too far out for anyone to come here for a workshop. Basically

I have not challenged myself to think outside the box and

just play.

I got my Tommy for 3 days and He is shortenting my ribbon

rack #1 and making me Ribbon rack #2 for my closet door.

Gotta stop buying ribbon, nah can't do that!!!

I wanted to show you other cards but it will throw off all the nice work done on this day.

So I am done for today, have a good one and thanks for looking.

See ya Tomorrow and Have a Very Happy Easter!!

This is the Double Rainbow I saw from my porch after another rainstorm March 28th. It was still drizzling so it's hard to see.

I have a follower my friend Lauri from Maine, who has a beautiful blog herself. Thanks girlfriend!! I accidentally deleted MizT's comment sorry!

Also got a comment from Barb Foster plus everyone helpful in moving my pix to better places.

Thank you all!!!

Got a couple cards to share. The Big Birthday Candle with embossed envelope was cased from SCS Thank you! I left off a few things and changed alittle with yellow arrow brads and glittered the flames. I had to make the envelope template cause mine was too big to fit the cuttlebug. But now I can make alot more of this square flap envelope for 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 cards.

This is my first original card after a non-smoking 2-1/2 years.

I still have some tweeking to do to it, like 1 of the cardinals

need to be flying in the other direction. What do ya'll think?

This is my second original card, I buy so many stamps from TAC and then I forget if I used it or just put it up.

This is my First Cuttlebug Card, using my first embossing folder!!

I need to tell you the story of my Cuttlebug. I am addicted to Cuttlebug. My friend Toni sent me some sample cardstock she had embossed with the Cuttlebug folders. I had been doing backrounds by hand with a small gadget with 3 balls like on a stylis. It was time consuming and starts to get painful after awhile. Anyway, I had told myself I did not need another big craft expense for my already cluttered room(pix of that room in tommorows post).

I purchased my first embossing folder on-line at an e-bay dealer called ScrapbookGadgets & More for $4.50 plus $2.00 shipping. I still did not have the Machine. Soooooooooo you all know what that means.....

Well to make a long story longer I stared going to Joann's and Michaels' looking for the Machine, which they were out and then when they got it in I could not use any 40 or 50% off coupon on a ProvoCraft Product. So one day I got an email from the owner of ScrapbookGadgets & More saying she had an on-line store not affliated with e-bay. I went to her site and I was like a kid in a Candy store. So many shiney pretty things LOL!!!

She had the machine for $54.50 and $5.00 shipping always. So I purchased it and another folder. I now have 21 embossing folders, 4 cutting dies and 2 Sixxix cutting dies. I got all the rubber

gaskets and chip board to use regular brass embossing templates and Fiscars embossing plates.

I told you I talked alot, but I am organized. Now I try to keep my craft room clean but The pix I'll post Thurs. are from last year when I was doing an online chat survey and I needed to make a collage of my hobbies and family. Family day is Friday with pix of everyone!!

Okay I need to put in some Pix to fill the Big Ginormous Gap

I'll do the Black & White cards!

I am so Sorry for this gap I guess I should stop and start over but It was way too hard to mess with and I am taking my Tommy

to dinner at Ryans, so gotta run.

Hi! I'm back for a quick update and photo. Had a power outage and since phone Tv and internet is Comcast it all goes out. Here is the last Cupcake for the favor boxes using Light Bulb sleeves.

Well here I am blogging. I talk alot so hang on to your senses. At least you can turn this off!

I have been playing with some new stamps from TAC and Stampin-UP and making cards. The first card here is the Ginormous Cupcake stamp from SU. I did not like the wording on the stamp so I cut it off and now just have a huge Cupcake.

I thought the distressed stripe from Cuttlebug was perfect for cupcake paper so I did it in 4 colors and waterbrushed the icing. The slot was made using word window punch from SU.

Paper in window DCWV Spring Paper. I finish the inside with sentiments on all my cards as I send to friends and family and sell for $2.00 each. Matching homemade envelopes accompany each card.

The next Big cupcake card was made using DCWV Paper Spring and Summer Crystal lacquar on Cherry for realism. Background stamp and Happy Birthday from TAC.

I found that inside of light bulb sleeves is perfect for cupcake paper too. Seen here in first try with stamp. Everything is in reverse as I drew on back of Cuttlebug Swirls. Cherry is glitter sticker paper. Will make this one again for boxed favors for party sets.
