Altered Clipboard

  1. This month has gone by really fast.  I can't believe in two weeks Michelle and I and the kids will be going to Texas  We are so looking forward to it.  Tuesday AI had lunch with a good friend in Lafayette.  I swo enjoy her company.  We had a good time.  Anyway while Jeff was helping David with his boat I whipped up this clipboard for a good friend who has been having medical difficulities lately and I wanted to cheer her up.
  2. I covered the clipboard with a patterened papaer from My Mind's Eye and added SU paper at he bottom using a Martha Stewart Border punch-Lattice.
  3. I cut a piece of corkboard and asdhered it to the board for notes.  he shopping list is from Michaels.
  4. I cut her initial out with the cricut using the storybook cartridge and SU Dust Durango paper.  Flower is a APrima.  Hope she likes it.

winter blahhs

It has been awhile since I have posted.  I guess you could say I have had the winter blahs.  I don't like getting out in the cold that much, it chills me to the bone. Any way just wanted to let people know I'm still alive and well.  Looking forward to spring and summer.

Christmas card

I made this Christmas card using the snowman from an image swap I was in.  I used copic markers to color him with. the wings, bottom of scarf and the heart buttons have stickles on them.  Cardstock is SU and patterened paper is from Paper Studio.  The snowflakes were punches from glitter cardstock and sprayed with smooch spritz and then blotted with paper towel.  Ribbon is from my stash.  Saying at top is a SU stamp and punched with SU oval punch.

Friends-Sister & Brother


After two weeks in Texas visiting my daughter and her family, I have returned home for much needed rest.
Today I sat down and finally did a card using brother Edwin and sister Tilda purchased from Stampingscapping.  I stamped the image onto crossstitch material to see what it would look like.  I used copic markers to color with.  Didn't blend as easily but it didn't turn out bad.  I used SU ink to give the edgessome color and I used it on the paper behind the images.  I cut the oval with my scalloped ovals and cuttlebug.  The ribbon is a sheer with polka dots from Walmart.  Flowers are primas.  Cardstock is from SU.
