Hello. I’m back! My visit to Arizona was AWESOME! The weather was fantastic. Highs in the 80’s and sun, sun, sun. It was especially nice since while I was away it snowed 8 inches or so. 🙂 But it is good to be home. Always nice to sleep in your own bed. Plus, I missed everyone here. Jazzy was very happy to have the Mama home.

Today’s image is a fun one from The Paper Shelter. It is called Watching you Cockatoo. I thought he was pretty fun.

Inside: I used my Silhouette Cameo software to set up the shoe prints and then printed them onto my paper. I am loving the Cameo!

Copics: E50, 51 and YR30,31 For the bird. Y32,38 and YR12 for the beak. YG91,93,95,97,99 for the coat and hat; B91 and C3 and C5 for the magnifying glass. Background is E000,E00, YG91.

The sentiment is just typed on the computer.

Unfortunately, I need alot of these types of cards. You would think that since I make so many cards I would send them out.

Thanks for visiting. Jazz and I are off for his promised squirrel chasing walk. LOL

Celebrate!

Well Hello and Happy Friday!! I have been battling bronchitis this week. UGH! (cough, cough) Today is the first day I have felt like doing anything. Pretty sad when you don’t even feel like coloring. 🙁 But today I was able to get back to this fun little card I’d been making and glue everything together. I am rather pleased with it. Just don’t look to closely at the cutting. Patient I am not. 🙂

The woodland creatures are from Simply B Stamps. I thought this card would be perfect for both SimplyB’s third anniversary and The Paper Shelter’s 100th blog challenge. Congratulations to both!

It is an easel card with a couple of extra pieces. I used this tutorial from Pam Sparks at Expressions with Heart. It is found here on YouTube. You should check her out.

Hey Gang, How’s everyone doing? Are you ready to start your weekend? The dogger and I are doing well and looking forward to some time off.

Today’s post is a special one, for me at least. I am going to take a chance and apply for a design team position at the Paper Shelter. Though I am relatively new to the blog world, I would love the opportunity to work with such awesome images.

Here is the card. It uses the fabulous image Love in Venice. Isn’t it sweet. Years ago I was blessed with the opportunity of seeing Venice, Italy in person. Very beautiful and romantic.

This card uses the Easel fold;

Here is a view of the inside and a view of the side.

Thanks for visiting. And wish me Luck! 🙂

Hey Guys. Jazzy here. Mama and I have been working hard to get this card folded and decorated and ready for the Paper Shelter Challenge. I picked the image out because this is how I feel about being woken up from a perfectly good nap to help.

This is the image A little bit grumpy.

I Tried to hold the card down so Mama could take a picture with the card closed but my fur kept getting in the way so we had to use clips.
