Above and Beyond

Vicki was asked by somebody at work so we decided to do a Thank You Card together.... I picked the flower from George....and though of the phrase "Thank you for going above and beyond." ... Vicki liked it so we went with that...well then I thought on one of my flowers has to be above and beyond the rest of the flowers.... so this card evolved... I hope she likes it and that you do too...thank you so so much for looking...and thank you for your comments.

Hugs,
Jeannie

I am not sure why this card isn't on the Cuttlebug Spot...I sent it twice to Nilda she must not have gotten it the second time either...I have waited almost 2 weeks to post it...its one of my all time favorites!!

I made this card for my step-mother for her birthday, we have lots of birthdays this month!... I also had to do a card for The Cuttlebug Spot that featured the inside of your card, well when I got finished with this card I knew that this is the card that was perfect for that challenge... I hope that Gail, my step-mother likes this card and I hope that you do to... I cherish your comments!.. Thank you so much for looking. ~~Hugs, Jeannie

A Special Wedding Thank You

First I would love to tell you that Madison was the most stunning bride!!... she was beautiful... her and Cory were glowing .... it was a near perfect day!! I can't wait for pictures so I get to share with everybody!!

I made this card for my son, John-Robert who preformed the double ring ceremony... he got ordained just to do this for his sister and her new husband because she said ... "I want you to do this for me John-Robert because you are the closest person to God I know." and if the wedding was perfect enough with the beautiful, glowing bride and groom, John-Robert added the personal touch, he made us laugh, he made us remember, he made us laugh, he showed wisdom beyond his years when he read and applied scripture that he chose for the occasion, he made us laugh yet again... he made his sister glow more than she already did... they said the vows and he looked on lovingly... he made it a wedding that Madison will never forget ... it will be their story to share for forever... yesterday it kept me from crying....today it brings tears to my eyes.

Cute as a Bug

If I couldn't make a card here and there this week I would be crying .... I try only to think of the wedding and everything being beautiful.... but not of Madison and Cory moving all the way to Memphis!!!.... this is a Vicki/Jeannie challenge...I chatted with her this morning and said lets make a card...neither of us could pick a cut...so I gave Madison the Home Decor pamphlet and said pick one.... I should have known she would pick the ladybug ... she loves them...and she said we had to add glitter... I don't do glitter often Madison says I should use it on every card.... so challenged Vicki and she was up to it... I took a nap first and dreamed about this card...so here it is!!...inside it says "Madison, when you were born you were cute as a bug... on Saturday you will be the most beautiful bride on earth." .... yes yes I am crying now!!.... I hope that you like it...and I know that you will love Vicki's, she does beautiful work... Thanks so much for looking... I cherish your comments more than you know!! ...Its like I tell my boss at work... "I work on a need to know basis...I need to know you think I am doing good!" Hugs, Jeannie

Ladybug cut @ 5 3/4 inches 5 times.

I cut it twice on regular cut in black... one I cut the dots out of so that I could add the glitter and pop-dot it from the black cut below... I ran the dots upside down through my Zyron to add the glitter ....I cut the ladybug once in red on shadow blackout...and once in white and grey on shadow.

I don't have design studio so on the white piece of paper I scored it just behind the legs from side to side and adhered it only above the score line so it would open.

George

Charm cut @ 2 inches in red.

I like this little charm I think I will use it more often!!...measured it and did my text on the computer in a box around the text 1/4 shorter on both horizontal and vertical sides... trimmed with scissors just outside the box... adhered to the charm.

Thank You Berry Much

My son, John-Robert is RA Camp (Baptist Church Camp for boys) Co-Director this year... he started out as a camper at age 8, then a counselor at age 15, now look at him at 21 almost 22 ...I am really proud... anyway he text-ed me and said he needed a card for a lady that made the counselors a Berry Cobbler in a Dutch Over... and he wanted me to make one...he said that he knew I was busy with the wedding and they could buy one but that "you do a better job than a real card"... so I made him one... I needed to center myself anyway and cards are the best in the world for that!!... I hope the guys like it and so does the sweet lady... thank you so much for looking... I cherish your comments...I really really do!!... Hugs, Jeannie

Circle with text cut @ 2 3/4 inches.

I did the circle text on the computer with grid marks to make a 2 1/2 inch circle of text... I added a dot to the center so that I could cut the circle around the text... I chose real dial size and center point and cut the circle around the text (the first time)...to make sure the needle was in the center when I move the blade housing over the dot...... then I pushed the silver part of the housing down to see if the blade touched the dot in the center of my circle text.

Turtle Friends, so fitting for another one of mine and Vicki's challenges... Vicki picked this cut... and I picked Friends after looking at the cut... I though "Those realistic turtles oh Vicki you have got to be kidding me!". but that is what makes it a challenge isn't it... then I found my paper...and knew the front facing turtle was sitting on the back of the side facing turtle and I got excited and went to work... I hope that you like it... it was such a fun card to do.

Disclaimer: My thief of a cat took my directions!!!... she always takes my craft supplies... I have no idea why!...but this time while my card was drying she took my directions ... so this is from memory...
