Christmas....

"Its the night before Christmas ans all through the house......."

I was given this book when I was really young and I just loved it!

I actually found this saying in a rubber stamp. I don't think I used it as much as I should but maybe next year you'll find more cards with that saying.

Today I'm am showing you an oldie but goody. Very simple yet very cute. Tiddly Inks is the colored image and the old fashion looking ribbon just adds that special look.

Today, Christmas Eve, I would like to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Hugs, :Lisa

Progressive Freebie Challenge September 1st, 2015

Howdy all,

Just another day and another card.  haha

Today I have for you is a lady from the Flower Child Digi Set #4 from http://nicecranedesigns.com/.

When I printed her out she legs and leaves had a black/grey hue to them. That got me thinking.... What I designed the whole card in black and white tones. Now I usually save them for sympathy cards but why not?

Not sure what this card can be used for. Maybe just ton say hello to someone or maybe even a sympathy card but this lady is truly special.

For all of you that  "stalk" me, haha, I'll be at South Lyon middle school next weekend. The 26th and 27th of September. Come on by and say HI!

Until next time....Lisa

Anything With a Sediment.......

Post number two......

I thought you might want to see some a holiday card. You know I do several type of holiday cards for the December holiday season.

Today I am going to show you a Christmas, Christ, card. I love creating these. I even bought several new sediment stamps with Christ being the theme. These digi's are from Digital Stamp Boutique, http://www.digistampboutique.co.uk/catalog/. Go check them out!!! They are very cute.

Until then.... Lisa

Happy September!

Hey guys!

September already. Here in Michigan it means that Summer is over. A very sad day for me.

Not to fret!  haha  I'm trying a new challenge today and the theme is to create a card, or something, that you give to a kid. Which leads me to my card. I kinda placed it in my "boy" section just because of the colors. Looking at it now, I say why can't a girl like these colors too? I know I would.  haha

I think this card is called a Center Step but I really don't remember.  haha  Nice bold colors on the paper, which looks like a kid did the drawing on it. Background colors are all of the bold rainbow, which I think looks pretty good.  :)  Then the image is Fizzy Moon and some balloons, which sorry to say I don't know who created them. All colored with colored pencil.

Tell me what you think and until next time......  Lisa

Anne's Digital Arts

First I would like to thank Anne for supplying the digi..... Thank You!!

Now this is usually not what I do but what the heck! I'll give it a try. :)  I dont think I did to bad.  haha  I like how I added bright colors too.

These are poppies and I did Google it and these are called "Corn Poppies." Which includes yellow... my favorite color. Oranges and red join in on the fun too.

Hope you enjoy!

Coloring...

I noticed that the last card I posted didnt really have that big of an image to show off my coloring.

How about this?

Christmas in May

You know Im known for my Christmas cards. Im getting very close to my holiday season.
Im even starting to bring my card making tools into the basement, which is where all my Christmas and snow stuff is.

Hope you enjoy an oldie. Promise, more holidays to come. ~Lisa

Rainbow...

Rainbows,

Who doesnt love rainbows? Well maybe boys.  haha

Here I used Fizzy Moon,from England, on my card. This was created as a "challenge" card but them I realized I messed up. Now I am using it for another.

This card is so cute, that it will not go up for sale.  haha  One of these days, Ill create something to display my cards.

Enjoy

Sketch Challenge

So I decided to do the sketch challenge. You know I turned it in on the wire...its due tomorrow!  haha

This is the sketch someone came up with....

Now here is my creation.....

I see I forgot some sequins but I think its a good job!  :)

Until Next time.......  Lisa

Music

You know I love to add music to my cards. Most of my cards are made with real music that I burn. This time its something else. I bought a pack of X-mas paper and this card stock was added in that pack. Its all glitter, so you know it got everywhere.  haha  You can barely see the music notes, which makes it classy I think.

Hope you enjoy...

Add your FAVORITE color.....

My favorite color?!?!

Well if you knew me, Its yellow. Not just any yellow, sunshine yellow!

This color fascination happened at birth.  haha Well no one really knows but I can remember back to my 3rd birthday. I was always the "yellow" piece in a game. One time I even hit my sibling when she grabbed it trying to be smart.  haah

I have had two yellow cars. I drink my favorite color, Mt. Dew. I try to only buy yellow flowers in the summer. I even pee yellow, but the best thing is I was born yellow!!!  YUP! I had Jaundice.  hahaha  Not to many people can say they were born their favorite color.

Im supposed to show you a card my favorite color.....Boy there are so many!

I choose a Bugaboo Digi, they do such cute digi's. This pregnant family works wonderful for Baby Shower too.

Be safe this holiday weekend!  Lisa

Friday Coloring Challenge: May 15th - May 22th

Here's an oldie but goodie!  This is last years model!  haha

The colors for you to use, in any hue, is purple, pink, blue and grey. I dont think I have ever made a "grey" card!  haha

Please dont look at the background. I tried to crop it out the best I could......

Twisted Challenge buy adding flowers.....

I hope you never have to have a card like this but we all do sometimes.

Who wouldn't love this little bear to say Get Well Soon? He sure hopes you do.

As you see I used yellow and green together and flowers with yellow and green pearls for that special touch.

Until next challenge... Holiday cards are coming soon...

Wednesday sketch challenge

While most people are using ribbons or sequins I decided to use scrap paper.

I have used real holiday music and burned it. Then I put some really cute snowflake paper on top of the music sheet.

Cant wait to start creating holiday cards again.....

Magnolia

Magnolia is one of my favorite rubber stamps. Have you eve been to their website?
http://www.magnoliastamps.us/

 I have posted this stamp before, with her walking, but now its in a thank you form. Can you see the charm I have added. Just enough to make it classy!

Thank you for looking...

Lisa

Cake Card

Hello All.....

Still working on my cards for Strawberry Fest in Bellville Michigan. Not sure of the date bit I think its around Fathers Day.

Ive decided to try something different. I have create this cad to look like a few presents. Do you like it? Do you think it works?

Going to a scrapbook convention. I hope I learn something new. Oh Tim Holtz will be there. Am I the only one who really doesn't care?  haha He is the guy version of Martha!! They have someone to "create" for them. Im not like that!!!

Paper Ala Mode

Happy Sunday all!!!!

It is here! I think I have brought the warm weather up with me!  Woo Hoo!!

Here is an oldie but goodie. This is my Mom's card for Mothers Day last year. You know my Mom keeps all my cards I have sent them!!!  It kinda feels like elementary school work!  haha

Colors of the Flag of Mexico

Can you say that the colors of the Mexican flag are in Christmas colors? Well Im trying to say they are.  haha

Please dont misunderstand me they are two different things and equally important!  :)

Coloring Challenge 24th - 30th April

Yes another challenge....But at least you get to see my cards!  haha

Christian cards are a big seller. I can never seem to have to many Christian cards!

This one is different. I took the base of an Easel Card and I put it sideways. Make sure you dont add the top or the work space of the easel.

Pretty simple but it looks good!  :)

Hello!

I know I have been MIA but I was on vacation, to Florida for a whole month.

Im up to my challenges again and the one Im joining now is Twisted Thursday... today.

Here are my "twisted" cards. I think I am misunderstanding the concept but this is what I am adding.  haha

Tell me what you think....

Hello All,

Ive been kinda missing because Im on vacation. Im in Florida and Im going to show you a holiday card.

Now no moans and grown!  haha  For me, the holiday creation season is right around the corner. When I get back, first week in May, I will be starting on my family cards... There is 14 of them this year. Holy Moly!!!!

Hope you enjoy and maybe you will be able to find this card at one of my craft shows.

Stay Warm my friends.....

Lisa

Happy Birthday.....

Morning All... Here we go again! Another challenge. I am having so much fun creating these cards. Plus its getting my butt into gear. haha This what I call a "woman" card. This can be for girls but I have a whole different set for them.

\

Until the next Challenge!

Baptism

Baptism....

Where would we be with out our little Angles?

What a happy day for the parents and the God parents. I remember when my Nephew was Baptized and now he's almost 26!  haha

These cards are specially cut so I can take ribbon and kinda sew it around the circle. I was able to find the words in a rubber stamp.... at a garage sale! What a lucky find!!!

If I am correct, boy version is gone but I still have the girl. I'm also creating more but different. Hope you enjoy them too.

Space.... The Final Frontier

Space....The final frontier.

Well at least space makes great "boy" cards, which are SO hard to create. Hope Spock would be proud!

This is a Birthday card where you pull the spaceship out, kinda like a tag. Open the card up and there's the space monsters.... You can't have a space card without them!!!!

Oldie but Goodie

An Oldie but Goodie.

Here's another challenge I am trying.

This one you have to color, with any medium, yourself. No problem there! Lisa loves to color. haha

Tell me what you think. Im not sure if this sold but if it didnt, come by my booths this holiday season.

Until the next challenge.....

Morning all,

Im getting ready for the first show of the year, Lutheran High School in Westland, this Saturday!

http://www.lhwl.lhsa.com/apps/pages/index.jsp?uREC_ID=184596&type=d&pREC_ID=438408

I have also been trying some challenges. This means I turn in my cards, a JPEG file, along with other card creators to see who wins. I see I did last weeks "Anything Goes" challenge.

Now I am trying my hands at another one. This challenge has to have several folds and the wording on the front. That part is easy for me. I always place my wording on the front.  haha  For all of my "stalkers," the card will be up for purchase on Saturday. If no one grabs it, it will be at the Plymouth/Canton show on March 21st.

Hope you like it.....

Hey All,

Are you staying warm this season? We're getting cold again. It's so bad, we wake up and its -4 degrees in the city and I live about 40 minutes west from there so I am much colder. Burrrrrr!

Im going to show you a new card I found called Matchstick Card. I tried to find you a tutorial but I couldn't. It's almost like it doesn't exist. Haha

I was able to recreate it and I took a picture of it for you. Its so easy all you have to do it write it down on a piece of paper.

OH!!!  New show update!!!!!!
Im going to be Lutheran High School in Westland MI on March 7th from 9am to 4pm.

This will now be my first show of the season, which I have never done before so I am getting excited! Come on by and say HI.

Until next time,

Hello everyone out there. How are we doing?

Today, 1:30pm, we have risen to 11 degrees! Woo Hoo!  Lets pull out the bikinis! Welllllll, maybe not!  haha

A couple weeks ago, I went to a Stamp'in Up class and created a few cards. Here's one...

What do you think? Cute hun? I think so. A little different than what I usually do, but that's OK.

I also took another class where we created three sets of three different cards. Since they were not mine, well they were but designed by another, I didnt want to sell them. So I was wondering what the heck to do with them.

I have come up with this idea. Im gonna give you a hint of what they look like and give them to my top three sellers. What do you think? I think you know who you are and I know one of you reads my blog. I got yelled at by her for not posting.  haha 

Here are your hints. One card is missing on purpose, its a surprise!

Thanks for being you and my fans!

Lisa

P.S. Next show is March 21st 2014 @ Plymouth/Canton High School
