Crazy for Cupcakes --with IN Colors

Ahh the evolution of a card. You look and its "almost done"...its missing something...not sure what...


This card was for a sketch challenge so I looked back at the sketch and realized it needed some ribbon!
And then I thought....I need some more of this Tangerine color to tie it all together....so I ended up with this:
What do you think?

A Card...Personalized

This is an card I made for my DBF's parents. It is their 30th wedding anniversary, so I wanted to incorporate their wedding pic and a recent pic.I used Urban Garden DSP (my favorite) as well as some Night of Navy & Basic Gray cardstock. The sentiment is embossed in silver.

Color Challenge

This is the card I made for the DCBD Color Challenge #116.
The challenge was to use Green Galore, Tempting Turquoise, Basic Grey, and Whisper White. Other than the colors the design was up to me. I chose the SU set Garden Greetings.

Hope you like what I came up with. Leave a comment with a link to your design, I'd love to see it!

Rub Ons!!!

I love Stampin Up rub-ons. They are just so versatile.

I took some plain leather scrapbooks and jazzed them up in just a few quick minutes. Just cut, stick, rub...DONE!

I'll be covering every available surface in my home now...hehe. Check back soon for more creations.

Thank You

A while back I made my FMIL a Paint Can filled with stationary for Christmas. I've finally used my gift cards I received from my future in-laws, so I decided to send them a little "thank you" explaining what I purchased.

I wanted the card to remind her of the Paint Can...so here's what I came up with:
Hope she likes it :-)
(this uses Urban Garden DSP and the Flight of the Butterfly Set, along with some Night of Navy Cardstock and White Craft Ink)

Cards for Kids: Valentines Challenge

Valentines! Yup, tomorrow is February 1st, which means Valentines day is only 2 weeks away! You better get crackin'. hehe.

These are some valentines I made for a great project called 1000 Valentines: Cards for Kids Challenge. These will be going to the Children's Hospital in Michigan.


The kids will be exchanging handmade cards from various cardmakers across the country. I've got to pop all these in the mail tomorrow, but I thought you might want to see a few before I do.

If you are interested in getting involved in this project visit http://rubbermaid.blogspot.com/
Thanks for stopping by! Lots more on my cards and creations coming very soon!
