Masculine Card & Blueberry Note Cards

Here are a couple of projects from a previous post.  I still don't have the battery for my camera!  The masculine card was made for my brother (his birthday is in a few days).  The blueberry note cards..I think...are really cute.  The cards are 3x3; I used a 1/2" punch to make my berries and Cricut Expression to cut out the leaves.  I think we'll be done with the painting today and everything can get back to normal.  Cheers! - Jackie

Plenty of cards...

Ahhh...spring.  Ground Hog Day is next week - February 2nd.  Hmmm...should do a card for that!

For the card player...

For the pool player!  Note the dice have some bling added...

This was drawn freehand as well as the sentiment.

Just black cardstock and flowers cut with the Cricut "Plantin SchoolBook" cartridge.   Scissors were used to fringe the top petals.

I've been busy making plenty of cards this past few weeks. These are all 3x3 with the exception of the black/flower cards.  The "Thanks Sweetie" is all freehand and then coloured with markers.  All of these were made using scraps of patterned paper and card stock.    I have to head out for my walk - it's a little chilly, but sunny.  Until later! - Jackie

Have your morning cup...

Worked on these little beauties yesterday and today.  Have 6 sets of 4 completed.  I used the SU Morning Cup set (on loan from sis).  I used different sentiments and also made the envelopes myself (out of old larger envelopes and some paper I had around).  White brown and yellow card stock, and some hearts to 'garnish' the final package.  Great for tags for gift giving.  The pictures are not the best quality - I couldn't wait until tomorrow to take the pics in natural lighting.  Cheers - Jackie

SU Card Swap {Christmas Collage; Bows and Boughs}

Good morning!  Here's my second card for this Saturday's swap.  I used the Christmas Collage and Bows & Boughs sets from SU.  The card is made from old olive, brown and whisper white card stock, chocolate chip ink and coloured with markers.  I used the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder and inked edges with chocolate chip. I'm not entirely pleased with the picture - too dark; but the card is quite nice.

It's a grey foggy morning here in my little part of the world...my DH calls it a Jackie Day because...for whatever reason...I love rainy days...I always have.    :0)    I spent alot of time yesterday cleaning and organizing the Paper Garnish Studio (that's what I've decided to call my craft room) and laundry room (because it's right next to the studio).  I made cupcakes for Taylor's birthday (instead of a cake we're having cupcakes) and it was extremely difficult keeping everyone away from them last night!!!  I am also trying to fight off this cold that's been hanging around for about a week...yuk.   

I thought I would get some additional spring bulbs planted this morning before the rain came (drumstick allium - really pretty) but it will wait 'til tomorrow now.  I have the tulips in already.  Pretty aren't they?

Today it's pumpkin loaf, more cupcakes! laundry and cardmaking.  Have a safe and happy day!      Take care - Jackie
