Got another card to post.  This one I make for  MaryKate, my friend Lori's daughter.  She just turned 14--ah to be young again.  This is my very first digi image and it is from Mo Manning.  Just love it--great for teenagers

And here is the inside of the card:


That is a little heart charm that is hiding under the bow.  Heather took these pictures for me again.  I really Love Mo Manning's images.  You should check them out at Mo's digital Pencil Shop : http://digitalpenciltoo.com/  You will love them too and her prices are good.
That's it for now~~~~ enjoy your weekend

Cabio really does do beautiful cards !!  Got to meet some of these talented people and have a little talent rub off on me.
On the bright side, my friend Heather Padgett said she would take take pictures of my cards whenever I wanted---that may be a mistake on her part--hee hee.  She really has been a lifesaver for me.  With my luck, I'll go to work one day and want a picture of one of my cards and she won't be in. Must have a plan--so whenever I know I'm bringing in a card, I'll check to make sure she is not off!! Sounds like a plan to me.

Hi, I have a couple of new cards that I would like to share.  The first is from LOTV .  A friend at work was leaving ( retirement--yea!!) and moving to North Carolina--another big yea. Hope you like it:

Again I forgot to take my picture, so my friend Heather at work took this with her cell phone----pretty good for a cell phone camera, don't you think?

and here is another LOTV card that I made for my friend Lori---50 is a hard one--been there--50 wasn't back for me--40 was the hard one.  Oh well, here is the card:


Yes, I didn't take this with my camera--Heather did it again for me !! You see, I keep forgetting to take my chip out of my computer--so when I take my camera to work to take the picture--it doesn't work-dud?  Think I would learn. Maybe if I allowed myself a little more time, I'd take the picture at home---but then where would the fun in that be?
Have a great week

Hi Everyone
This will be a short post.  I made a LOTV card for my friend Lillian and forgot to take a picture of it--so I asked her to scan it for me ( which she did) and I am having a heck of a time tring to resize it--can't get it to work so what you see, is what you get for now.  will work on it some more later.  Can't seem to get the black part of the scanner out :(

Card for Work

Posting a card that I made today for work. My department at work is thanking another department for the help and hard work they are doing for us. We bought them cookies and they will be delivered to them along with this card ( after everyone signs it). Hoping they will like their surprise and the card too !
Here is the card:

and here is the inside---enough room for everyone to sign:

I think I got a little too close for the picture on the front of the card--not as clear as I would have liked it.
Well, that's it for today.  I give eveyone so much credit that can make 2 or 3 cards in one day.  Maybe if I plan my cards ahead of time it would be easier and faster--you think?
Good bye weekend and hello to a new work week.

I made a St Patrick's Day card for my February Mingle swap at LNS.  This card is for my friend Gail Lass. Gail loves lace and I tried so hard to put some on the front of the card, just didn't work out............ but I put some inside just for her :)
I used my Irish Maggie. It's funny, when you are making a card ( or at least with me), sometimes I struggle with how I want it. BUT, when I'm all done, I then can think of a zillion things I could have done. Ah, will have to try and store those ideas for the next time. Here is the card:

and here is the inside of the card:


The lace was just too wide and didn't look right on the front.
 Have you ever made a card and put it in a safe "place" and then forgot all about it?  Well, I made a get well card for Gail and did that.  Out of sight (and my fault)--out of mind ( that is happening to me a lot lately!!).  Anyway came across the card today and almost died--thought for sure I had mailed it.  Now that is a BIG OOPS.  Sent it off to Gail today along with the St Patty's card--with a note;

Here is the card ---kind bright, don't you think?

And here is the inside to that card:


Ha Ha, maybe it was a good thing she didn't get this when she wasn't feeling well.
Have 2 more cards I'm working on--when I get them done, I'll post them.
Have a nice day.

Thought I would  post another card that I made.  Of course, it is one of the Gurlee Girls---this one is called Kisses Girl.  She is such a honey.  I made this for my LateNightStampers Mingle for January --secret swap. I was late and only got it in the mail on Saturday--the 29th--it should have been in the mail on the 25th---but the snow was not on my side--so it will be a few days late.  Hope she likes it and the goodies that I'll be sending too.
and this is the inside:
Well, that is it--going to keep at this weekly until I feel comfortable with it and then will try more "stuff" on the blog.
