Background

Saturday, April 7, 2012

So while I was in the mood to color, I made a third card. This one is for the littlest guy in our family, James.  He is so full of energy and he cracks me up.  Some of the things that come out of that boys mouth!  This is another Sassy Cheryl's digital images.  Again I colored it with my Copic markers.  The background paper on this one is from a tablet called All About Boys.  The sentiment is from a set from Hero Arts.  It is so fitting--He does make me smile. 

Boy Scout

My grandson, Dylan, just did the bridging ceremony into Boy Scouts.  We are so proud of him and I thought I would make a card to let him know.  This image is a digital image from Sassy Cheryls.  She has some cute images.  I am really getting into these digital images.  I like how you are not stuck with just one size.  You can make them any size you want and if you want to crop them, you can do that too.  And storage is no problem at all.  This image I colored with my copics.  I used Spellbinders to cut the oval and the title strip at the bottom.  The ribbon in the background (I guess you call it a ribbon) is a Memory Box die.  The background paper is some I had left over from covering a cigar box.  It worked here.  Enjoy!

Per order of Mary, I figured I better step up and post to my blog.  lol.  I recently got a Sassy Studio Design digital image.  These images are so fun and so well drawn.  I colored this with Copic Markers.  The paper I used in the background is by Basic Grey called Sugar.  My card base and the paper I used to print the image on is Mohawk.  I love this paper to use with my Copics.

Calendar

Well, I finally finished a calendar for my sister.  I am only three months late but who's counting.  lol  I made it out of grunge paper.  I wish that paper didn't smell so bad.  I guess it airs out after a while.  This isn't the calendar that I usually make for her but sense Amuse doesn't sell the calendar any more this will have to do.  I used a die from Tim Holtz Alterations to cut a small easel to stand the calendar up.  It worked wonderful.  I don't know why I never used it before. 
Today I made a get well card.  I used a Lili of the Valley stamp.  I love these little stamps.  They are so cute and fun to color.  The designer paper is from a 6" x 6" paper pack called "A walk in the garden by Best Creation Inc.  I bought it at Great Scraps in Millersville.  This is the place to go for paper if you are in Maryland.  The oval die is a new one I got from Spellbinders.  It is called Floral Ovals.  I used a smaller one in the inside for the sentiment.  It seems like it has been for ever sense I made a card and I know it is not true because I just went to a shoe box swap.  lol
