I found these card sketches I printed out like 3 years ago...so I don't even know where they came from... this paper I loved but it has been so hard to come up with something to make out of it.... so between the card sketches and the paper this is what I made..

I had shower things to do... got them done this morning... well most of my list for today... have to make some food tonight... so I rewarded myself with a card making session... and my Lupus is screaming NAP!!... so after this post I am off to take that much needed nap... wake up and finish my list!.. thank you so much for looking! Hugs, Jeannie

Baby Card

Ok, Ok I had baby paper... it was inevitable that there would be a baby card to follow... even though I bought the paper pack for all the pages that didn't scream baby card...lol... so here it is and I hope that you like it... I do have a baby I am planning to send this card to... he was recently adopted by the most lovely couple in the world... and is loved to the bone... and he, Cooper is in love with me!!... at least I like to think that he is!.. Cooper lets me kiss him and kiss him and kiss him... then he just smiles up at me for more!!...so I think I am sending him this card with a "thank you for the kisses" on the inside! Thank you so much for looking! ~~Hugs, Jeannie

I am trying to get better pictures!!... had too much glare on the last few... the color is brighter in person on this card... I bought new paper yesterday...its a baby boy pack... but there was so much other paper choices in the pack that I thought I could use so I decided to get it.... My daughter says that I have hit a new card phase... maybe she is right.... I am really liking the dimension in the card I have made lately...but I will have to get more pop-dots for sure... I hope that you like this card with box envelope... those have been great fun too.... thank you so much for looking and for your comments! ~~Hugs, Jeannie

Wedding Bells

The third picture of this post shows the glitter better...which my daughter will love!!... this card is for Okies Sketch Challenge... this one stumped me...it seemed that it could only look one way... and then it came to me.... all the sudden it was there just what I wanted to do with a square card... (my first I think)... I used a whole piece of Basicgrey paper to get my diagonal lines from my striped paper the way I wanted them... lol... but that is what the paper is for to create pretty things... I just needed a learning curve today....the bells were the last element I knew I was going to have all the squares...but was not sure what was going in the top square until I was almost finished... wish I had cut two sets of bells one for the inside...but alas I was too lazy to go back and do it... maybe later... Thank you so much for looking.. ~~Hugs, Jeannie

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

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
