Thank You Cards


  Inside of card:

I am adding to my stash of Thank You cards.  It seems I go through them so fast. I decided to make them smaller so they are 4.25x5.5 which means they are easier to mail (and only use a regular stamp)

This is my DT card for Addicted To Stamps.  Our challenge is Thank You.  Gives you a great opportunity to make a card and thank someone special in your life

Card Details:
Stamp: Magnolia Stamps
Copics
Gina Marie Designs oval die
Sentiment stamp

Corny Joke Card


I made this card for a friend of ours.  His sense of humor is stuck on preadolescent poop and fart jokes.  I found a website with free printables using the poop emoji for cards from Uplifting Mayhem.  None of the sentiments were exactly what I was looking for but my son told me this joke and I figured it was perfect for the card.  The sentiments (joke) is computer generated by me and I used the corn clip art I had on my microsoft work program.  Overall it's a pretty basic card but it had everyone laughing.

Christmas Card


It's time for a new challenge at The Merry Christmas Challenge.  The theme is always anything Christmas goes.
I used this adorable image from Mo's Digital Pencil for my DT card.
I kept the design simple and free of embellishments so that it is easy to mail. And I got to use up some scrap paper so that's an added bonus.

Birthday Card


I put myself on a spending freeze at the beginning of the year.  I did pretty good not spending any money on craft supplies until I found some cute stamps at Simon Says Stamps. This adorable birthday cow stamp just seemed to hop in my shopping cart.  How did that happen?
Anyway, she is super cute all dolled up for a birthday party.

Buttercup Baby Fairy


I just love the face on this digi image! This is Baby Fairy Buttercup from Mo's Digital Pencil.
She is so cute she didn't need very much on the card for embellishments.
After coloring her wings with copics, I painted them with extreme glitter paint for some sparkle.
This card is for my sister's mother-in-law who recently had a stroke.

You're The Tweetest


I've had this cutie colored for quite awhile now and have finally made a card with her.
This is just the sweetest image and it will be perfect for so many cards.
I found these little ladybugs while doing a little online shopping.  I couldn't resist buying them.  They are wooden and have adhesive on the bottom so that they stick to the card perfectly.

Cancer Warrior Scrapbook Layout


Last year our world was turned upside down when my husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon Cancer.  
Since most people with colon cancer are diagnosed after age 50, Doctors recommend that people start getting colonoscopies at age 50.  Colon cancer is preventable when people do their screenings.  There are some warning signs but my husband did not have any of the warning signs or symptoms. Our oncologist told us that most of the young people who are diagnosed usually are already at stage 4 due to lack of symptoms.  There is no cure for colon cancer, only treatment.

My husband is a CANCER WARRIOR. 
We choose to be positive and consider him to be LIVING WITH CANCER.

It is now 11 months post diagnosis and he is still going strong.  Most people who meet him don't realize he is sick.  He receives chemo every other week at the cancer center and then goes home with a pump for another 48 hours of chemo.  He has had very few side effects from the chemo. He will continue with this regimen for the rest of his life. He continues to work everyday. He owns his own construction business and continues to schedule projects. In fact, he has jobs lined up for the next 2 years.  In addition to the construction business he also farms.  I don't think anything, especially cancer is going to stop him from doing the things he loves.

Easter Card



I've been wanting to try a double Z fold card for awhile now.  I love how simple they are to make, stand on their own easily for display and aren't the typical type of card.
I used an adorable image from Mo's Digital Pencil for my card.  I just love this little cutie and all her curly hair.
This is my DT project for Aud Sentiments.  The challenge theme is Anything Goes + A Sentiment so I can't wait to see what you create.
