Encouragement card for 1 of my brother's

Hi everyone,

Hope all is well with you. Yes, I have been M.I.A. but I have been working on some projects (squeezing some in mommy life and daughter's school time.) I haven't been too lazy on crafting I promise ;)

The card here is almost finished but just wanted to take a pix before I made any changes... which I didn't make much in the end.

He is the finished card. I didn't make too many changes as you can see.
I just added a small tag with his name (I cut that out by hand, didn't feel like
looking for a tag to cut and power my Cricut.) Added a charm that reads
"HAND made with LOVE"

The Rose dies are from Spellbinder's Donna Salazar's Rose Creations Die

The rose leaves are also from Spellbinder's and the die is from the Foliage set

My "brother's doll is from Cricut's Paper Doll dress Up cartridge (I trimmed off the cheeks/jaw 

because I don't like the big cheeks all of the time plus my bro has a skinny face. lol)

The iron fence is from Cricut Ornamental Iron cartridge. I love all of the intricate designs but 

what sucks it's cleaning up all the left overs on the mat... so if you have a second mat just 

have it ready so it won't slow you down if you're on a "crafting roll" :)

The face stamps are from Peachy Keen Stamps. 

This is the back of the card

it's a Spellbinder's Shapeabilities Dies Ribbon Tag Trio 2 

I just cut the the part that you stick the ribbon in off. 

The wording was done on Open Office but I'm sure 

someone can do it with Microsoft Word.

Side view of the card just so you can see the dimension.

Thank you so much for stooping by. I know I posted it late on my blogspot.

Have a great night.

Peachy Keen Stamps :: Sketch Challenge 51 w/ a Twist

 Hello Everyone,

Hope everyone is having a great night. I just finished my card to enter at Peachy Keen Stamps :: Sketch Challenge 51 w/ a Twist.

Original PKS Stamp

Just a little doodling and coloring on my note pad and came up with a clown face. 

The more I use PKS face stamps the more my imagination flows.

Here is the girl's face or it could have been a boy with a different hair do.

made a little pair just for fun -the boy I will use for another project

 The little boy clown will go on my nephew's 3rd birthday card. Happy 3rd Birthday Johnathan)

Hopefully he's not scared of clowns

Here's the finished girl "Payasita"

I like how my bug came out

Aww 6x6 card itsn't big enough for it to show my bug entirely but it's okay this time.

Look who is peeking...

Another shot of the finished card

The card is for my friend Nancy -one of her nicknames is "Payazita" she spells it different but that's my girl :)

Whew I barely made it to posting on PKS site.

Hope you like it. Thank you very much for visiting.

Crafty hugs and wishes

My Husband's Birthday Card - Hot Tub Love

Hello Everyone,

Just wanted to show the card I made for my husband's birthday ( yesterday 4/18). This is my original design I call it "Hot Tub Love." I used 2 stamps from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-660 Laughy Taffy Face Assortment but for "my hubby doll" I added the beard and goatee and made the eyebrows a little bushier like his :) The dolls are are from Paper Doll Dress Up Cart but the faces were too round for our facial shapes... just snipped a little off the cheeks. The Card actually opens and I have a birthday poem for him inside. Hope you liked the card. My hubbt thought it was funny. It was fun making it because he loves getting into his hot tub and it's usually our alone time when the kids are sleeping... (shhh.... don't tell nobody  )

Thanks for stopping by,

Katya Bess
