A Card of Fortunate Mistakes

There were just too many errors on this card to even explain...it started with a stamp... and went from there... as you can see there is no stamp .... and each mistake I made I just replaced and kept going because I didn't want to start over!!!... its one of those anxiety ridden days... But in the end I was so excited about how this card turned out...and I think it will make me think a little differently when making cards... isn't that funny how that happens... surprisingly I do have all the info written down... thank you so much for looking and thank you so much for your comments they mean so very much to me! ~~Hugs, Jeannie

Congratulations Brittney

I needed to make a graduation card for Brittney, this wonderfully sweet girl that use to work for me when I managed a shoe store.... I have been putting it off.... then I discovered Dustin Pike Digi Stamps... and I got inspired!! ... I was just too excited... I am loving his work!!.. and I love that you can make the stamp the size you need it once you download it... how cool is that!!!!.... it make the possibilities unlimited!! ... I used the MCPT to color the stamp... I just couldn't get a picture that didn't make the colors look as bright as they are!!... I wish you could see it in person.... I made a 1/4 inch thick envie to protect it too... too fun!~~Hugs, Jeannie

Wedding Card and Gift

I was so excited about this present... first it is for a dear sweet friend of mine Nathan ... who won the girl of his dreams .... and is a real sweetheart!... he is like a second son to me ... he is special to my heart.... and his bride to be is a sweetheart herself... second this is my first time etching glass and its so so so so easy and I was so excited it turned out so pretty... and so perfect for a new bride ... I had a hard time deciding whether or not to put just an S for the last name or an AS for Amber Sewell ... I finally decided he would be happy if she was happy ... and getting your new last name is so fun... and she would likely be the person carrying the dish places that I went with the AS ... thank you so much for looking!!! Hugs Jeannie

This is my last wedding shower thank you card ... but I still have a lot of catching up to so on cards!! ... I loved the background words so much on the "Thank Ewe" card that I had to make another one.... so many of my card don't really leave a good place for sentiment that this is a wonderful trick!! ... I made a template to save on my computer so it will be easier to when ever I need it... I am so excited! ... I hope that you like it! ... thank you so much for looking! ~~hugs, Jeannie

I used a Basicgrey paper pack called Mellow... it had the cherries cut out on it.

Lots of inking... used my paper trimmer and a ticket punch for the book plate for the thank you.

Thank Ewe

This is another Okie Sketch Challenge card.... plus I was loving The Cutting Cafe challenge so I scrap lifted from the people doing that challenge a bit.... and this is what I ended up with!....

I still need at least one more thank you card for the shower....and three for some special friends of mine... and I need to do a graduation card too!!!...Oh I am so far behind!! TFL~~Jeannie

Thank You Note... House Mouse

I am still working on Thank You cards for the sweet people giving Madison's shower.... I decided to do them all different!!... that is much more fun for me .... and maybe they will enjoy seeing each others cards... I love this House Mouse stamp so I decided to go with it and see if I could make it incorporate it into a card and it not be the whole card.... sometimes that is hard for me!!...

To color the stamp I used colored pencils and I blended them with a blending stump but did not use gamasol...I liked the bolder color I got without the gamasol.
