 Today is Saturday and I have been in my PJ's all day.  I have been making lots of cards!  I am in the process of trying to get on a design team so I am doing certain types of cards for that.  

I made this card while visiting Sparkle n Sprinkle last Monday.  I was  in Tampa and had tests in the morning.  I suggest to Jack that he go to Bush Gardens.  That gave me the rest of the day to check out the stamping store.  I have purchased their things and seen them at stamping shows, but I have never been to their store.  It is smaller than I expected, but it was full of wonderful things!  I made this Make and Take while I was there.

This card was done for operation Shoebox.  Everyone in my stamping club was given the stamped image and we all had to color it and make a card to send to the men & women overseas.  I used Copic markers and a Sakura clear star gel pen for highlights.  I really like the way it turned out.
I just finished this card.  I used some lace that I purchased at Sparkle n Sprinkle and applied it to sticky paper.  For the background, I sprinkled silver glitter and rubbed it in.  Then, I removed the lace and used red glitter to fill in the design.  I then cut it with the largest Scalloped Nestabilities.  I glued it onto the mat and added three rhinestones in the corner.  Mounted it onto white card stock and added a tulle "bow".  Isn't is gorgeous?
This card is made by heat embossing the solid image with Sparkle n Sprinkle detail black.
Then, I sponged the background with 3 different Ranger distress inks.  I rounded the corners and  mounted it on black card stock.  The whole thing only took me about 20-30 mins.!


That's all for today.  Enjoy your weekend  and God Bless.

    1. Thank you so much for the kind and encouraging words. I checked out your blog and you have really done a nice job with it. Sorry to hear about your nephew, but I am glad he is doing well! I worked with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for 10 years, fundraising and running marathons! Spooky that I ended up on the receiving side of it!

    1. Your work is wonderful. I enjoyed your blog. By the way, your Ocicat is beautiful! My cat looks a little like her (or him), but she is not an Ocicat. She is a Torbie (cross between tortie and tabby). Thanks for checking out my blog.
