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  )

Akeelah's Birthday Card from Jade

Hi Everyone,

Just here getting ready for a birthday party. I procrastinated for a couple of weeks to make this card. Finally I made it just had it all planned out a few days ago on my Gypsy. My daughter Jade has a little friend named Akeelah who is turning 4 years today. (Happy Birthday Akeelah! So is one of my brother's birthday, his name is Carlos turning 26 today- Happy birthday bro!) I made all of the cuts with Once Upon a Princess cartridge - no mixing up carts today lol wanted to keep it sweet and simple but still cute for a little girl. My daughter picked all of the colors and we both know that her and her friend are into Princess and the Frog's, Tiana, so we chose her princess dress to be "green." The inside (not pictured) there is a personal message from Jade.  Hope you like it! 
Thank you for visiting.

Working on Magnolia 3D Flower embellishments

Hello Everyone,
Pretty day today but didn't go outside.... blah... had to exercise then do house work and when I took a break from housework I decided to make embellishments for some future cards. I decided to make some Magnolia flowers, looked in my gypsy loaded carts and didn't see anything like a magnolia.... so I googled magnolia flower and magnolia leaves and there are a few different varieties but most look similar. 



Leaves are from Gypsy Wandering and so its the main flower I welded leaves on to the flower petals for the pointed look. The smallest petals are just leave that I hid part of their inner design and distorted the shape then welded them into a flower petals-like shape. The stamen is just cut into slits the glue rolled them with Zip Dry.

Thank you for visiting.
