Hello - hello - hello !!!!!!!!

Hi!

It has been a frustrating exersize trying to get my blog to work again and I hope that I have finally done so! It has taken two weeks of hour upon hour of work for me since I have no experience with computers at all!!!!!!

I would like to post a few cards today and I am so happy to be back :o)

The first card is another Birthday Card for a friend. The stamp is from Bella and is called 'poppy BITTYBLOOM' I used Basic Grey - Urban Prairie / bountiful as my DP; and matching SU paper for the rest of it.
I used S'U dazzling diamonds; and ribbon and crystals from Michaels. I also used my Fiskars border punch, and acriylic white paint.



Here is a close up:







And the inside:



The verse:



The next card is a Sympathy one:


This card uses Whisper White, Gray and black cardstock from Stampin' Up. I stamped the top half of the card with one of my background stamps in dark gray, used some of the gray paper and put through my cuttlebug embossing folder. They were mounted on the black and I used the ribbon to mask the place where they joined. The cross and all other stamps including the sentiment are from 'Papertrey Ink'. I again used a couple of crystals from Michaels.



Here is the inside:



The next card is a Mingle made for Magnolia-licious. The theme was to take a NON - Easter image and make it into an Easter Card. All of my fine plans for this one went out the window when I couldn't find the things I wanted to use. I had to use old things in my stash and make do. I hope it looks Easter enough to fit the challenge???


You may have to look real close to see what is going on!

Here are a couple of close ups:





And of course the inside:

Trying a post this evening

Hello everyone - I am trying to see if I can post something to my blog.
Sorry to be a pain here!

new cards

Here are some pics as promised. Enjoy

Hi everyone! Thanks for hanging in there with me during this time of problems with my blog! I have managed with the help of a friend to get these pictures of my latest Magnolia card entered.

This is a sketch challenge at the Magnolia-licious group, for the month of March.
I had fun doing this one and love Edwin with his tulips.
The design paper is from Imaginsce and is called 'Tiptoe Through Tulips.
all the plain paper is from Stampin'Up and as you can see I have used several 1/2 pearls. There is actually a pearl in the bottom left corner behind the arm of my holder. I used Ranger Distress Ink on the oval behind Edwin.

A card - finally :o)

I made this card Tuesday I think and have been trying to post it ever since.

I have been wanting to make a round card for a very long time. Unfortunately I don't have a large round cutter and only have the small Nesties. So this was the only way I had of doing it. I look forward to being able to make a bigger one very soon. I hope the size doesn't take away from the love put into making it.

Hello everyone!

It has been a long time since I have posted anything!

Part of that reason is because I took a week off from card making and redid my craft room. What a huge job that was! We have lived here for 2 1/2 years and this is the third time I have done it. This time I am very happy with the results. It has given me more free room in the middle of the room and narrower storage places so the room seems a lot bigger. Now my work table no longer has my computer and printer on it and I actually have the whole table to work on instead of the aprox. 16" by 12" I was working on before!

The second reason is because my blog has not been working. I have no idea why not. This will be my 4th try at loading pictures. That is the part that isn't working.

I am going to sign off this part now so you at lease know I am alive. Then will write again immediately to try to post my photos. If you don't find any - then it still isn't working and I will need some help from someone????

Thanks for coming - Love Candy

Hello everyone!!

Well it is in the middle of the night where I live - almost 3:00am as a matter of fact. I will just quickly post this Tilda card I made way last week some time. I really didn't think it was good enough to post but I have been talked into it by friends. So here goes.

This card was made of white card stock on which I drew the background. I then stamped all the different images and cut each one out. Including the skipping rope which was sooooo thin. Then I glued them on to make a scene. Tilda is the only thing that is slightly pop - dotted. I needed her rope to be glued down flat so it wouldn't break. I then put the card front onto a pink background and put my white dots around the edges.

Here is a picture of the entire card:

Here is tha close up of several places :

Unfortunately I accidentally deleted the picture I had of the inside of the card - but i did put matching flowers that I had painted with my copics.

So that's it for me for now. I am hoping to clean up my art room AGAIN this weekend. Trying to get rid of a lot of things I don't use and make it much more tidy and easy to find things.

Hope you all have a great weekend. Thank you all for the wonderful comments you are leaving me. Makes me feel wonderful!

Love Candy
