Memorial Day 2011

I wanted to send a card to a friend I know who has served their country many times.  This digi is from Tracey Malnofski and the background papers from JLJ Designs. The background punch is from MS and of course colored in copics.  My heartfelt thanks goes out to all the military and their families for thier service to our country.

Julie & Julia

This cutie is from Mo's digital. I fell in love the moment I saw her and knew she would turn out fantastic.  I found the wallpaper on line and the floor is a picture from google images.  I absolutely love this card and I think I am going to frame it and keep it here at the house. Everything about this card pulled together for me. I believe this is the best that I have done so far and I am so excited to have completed her.  

Little Boys

I made this card for a challenge over at Simply Scrappin Crafts. A card for a purpose, well this one could be for a birthday, Hello, Thank You, Feel Better.  I have a tendency to leave off any kind of saying on my cards until I actually use them.  I feel it gives me more options. Thanks for stopping by.

This digi is from Wee Stamps and the background papers are all digi from Bearly Mine.  The ribbon is from my stash and of course the card is colored with copics. 

Flowers and Polka Dots

I made this card for a challenge over at the Latte Lounge. The color is actually more orangey than what is shown, but at this point I am so glad to just get a picture on the blog.  9:00 pm and am rushing to the store to get any kind of card reader that will take my ancient of days camera card.  Rushed back home, quick take pictures, upload, post and whew.  Hope you do enjoy my learning creations.

Yellow!!!

Copic Creations Challenge decided to spotlight the forgotten color yellow and so this cutie from Wee Stamps was tops on my list to color up.  If you have to checked out Wee Stamps you really need too!!! They are too adorable and very copic friendly. So go and check out Copic Creations Challenge #50 and enter in your poor forgotten yellow creation.  Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog.  Have a fantastic weekend and don't forget to stop and take time to create, laugh and enjoy the life that God has blessed you with!!!

Garden Cart

I made this card for Get Hippity with Ippity's Challenge #2 Flowers, Flowers, Flowers and The Stamping Boutiques Monthly Challenge.  The digi is from The Stamping Boutique and colored with Copics.  The Felt Flowers are from SU and the punch for MS.

Super Mom!!!

This card goes out to a very Super Mom named Shaun, who just passed a important exam and is on her way to being an Insurance Adjuster.  Shaun has cleaned houses for over 12 years and has decided to take a new direction for her life...Congratulations Shaun, this card is for you :0)
The image is from Mo's Digital, colored with copics, sparkled with Gold Stickles, and the boots with Diamond Glaze.  The background is a clip art from Microsoft.

IASC First Ever Blog Hop

It's our first blog hop here at In A Scrap Creations. We are very excited about it because it's not just for our regular release but we're also doing a OWH preview. OWH stands for Operation Write Home. The design team has created cards for the troops to use to send back to their families when they are deployed. These will be sent to OWH to be distributed to the troops abroad. 

 

There are specific guidelines you need to follow if you want to join us in making cards for the troops.  You will find them here

We'd love it if you created our own card and/or cards to ship to OWH. If you do, please post it on your blog and link it in the comment section of the post on the IASC blog 

Also, we are doing our IASC release. This month is "Silly Owls"...the set is $3 and you get 6 images (that's only 50 cents each)...these are pre-coloured and ready to use for your quick card needs. You will find them listed here

Princess Ariela

This cutey was made for my friend for her daughter's Birthday as well.  I've been told that she is going to have the best birthday ever with manicures and pedicures and whatever else little diva's do :0)

 Life is slowly getting back to normalcy with only a few hitches here and there. Nothing that can not be worked out.  I had a wonderful surprise yesterday....found out that I had won a 7 Kids College Fund gift card from a challenge that I had entered in quite some time ago. 

Have a wonderful week an don't forget to stop and smile, laugh a little and breathe.

Digi is from Mo's Digital Pencil, colored by copics, papers from my stash of SU, as well as the brads. The crown brad is from Michael's and Silver Stickles for her bling!
