Thinking of You - Clean and Simple

Here I am with a CAS (clean and simple) thinking of you card.

The paper is all Core-dinations. And the cuts are from the Shall We Dance Cricut cartridge. The beautiful sentiment is from My Creative Time's Floral Sentiments stamp set. I hope you enjoy this quick and easy card. Hugs- Glora

Guest Designing over at Liz's Paper Loft

Hi friends, today I'm SO happy to be guest designing for Liz at Liz's Paper Loft. I have admired Liz's work for A LONG time and I have also been lucky enough to work with her on the My Creative Time Design Team! She is SO sweet and super talented. I'm certain she can hardly wait to start posting on her own blog again and I can't wait to see what creative projects she has dreamed up while recovering.

Today I wanted to share a card that I made for my daughter's dance teacher. They have just finished their dance year and dance recital and I wanted to make sure to tell her thank you.

I hope you like it, I was going for a classic ballet kind of look with just black, white and pink. The frame shape and the ballet slippers are from the Shall We Dance Cricut cartridge. The beautiful flowers were made using My Creative Time's Flower Petal dies. I also used the My Creative Time Stitched Oval die and stamped a sentiment from the Teeny Tag Greetings stamp set. I added some sweet little pink buttons and some faux stitching with my gel pen. That pretty background paper is by Doodlebug Design and is called Petite Prints.

 Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Liz has some exciting news to share with you, but not quite yet. However, in the meantime, while she's recovering, she is reading every comment! Not only is she reading them, she's counting them, because at the end of all this, she will have two announcements! The first will be a winner of some exciting BLOG CANDY! The second, it's a big one...and no, she's not coming out with stamps...you just have to wait and see!


 Have a wonderful day! Hugs- Glora

Simple Thank You Card

Hello friends. Today, I have a really simple thank you card to share. I'm going to be helping some ladies at my church put these cards together next week. I will be helping make 25 of this card and 50 Christmas cards (which I will show you later this week). Getting all the pieces ready to go is going to be keeping me busy, but I think we will have a lot of fun too.

The shape and the rose are both from the Shall We Dance Cricut cartridge. The stamps are from Emma's So Grateful For You stamp set. The textured paper is Core'dinations. Thanks for stopping by today! Hugs- Glora

The Sweetest Halloween Pumpkin EVER!!!

Hello sweet crafting friends. Today I'm going to share a couple of cards that I made with some digi images that my friend Cindy of Cindy's Little Creations made. Cindy is super talented and I'm so proud of her and the beautiful designs that she has been making. Cindy had shared some images for me to use and I love them!!! Stop by HERE to see other creations that Cindy has made. You will not be disappointed she is amazing!

Now, I really am a novice at coloring with Copics but have some and I love how they look so I used them anyway (although I will admit that it took me FOREVER to do up these two images). I only have 36 markers that came in a set and I have actually found that it makes for some difficulty in blending since the colors are not as close in color as I would like, but for now they work. Don't pay too close of attention to my coloring, just enjoy the beautiful digi's for what they are :). I would also like to thank my friend Kate for some tips on working with digi's and Cindy gave me some awesome pointers too. Thanks ladies!

Here is my first card and I'm totally in LOVE with this pumpkin, I think she is the sweetest Halloween pumpkin EVER!!!!

Isn't she too cute?!!! I really LOVE her!!! Great job on this digi Cindy!!! I added some accent doodles to the image after I colored it with the Copics and then I also added some glossy accents to the eyes, nose and tooth. The black piece was cut from the Shall We Dance Cricut cartridge and I faux stitched around it with a white gel pen. The beautiful crinkle ribbon is by Patsy at The Prairie Bird Boutique. The darling green pattern on the green paper is an awesome background stamp by Market Street Stamps. It is called Punched Tin and I love how it looks on there. And last but not least the absolutely perfect sentiment for this cute pumpkin is from the All Around Halloween stamp set by My Creative Time.

Here is my second card using another digi by Cindy...

I think that kitty peeking out is just too darn cute!!!! For this one, I colored it with Copics and then cut it out. I printed a second copy on the blue background so I could glue my image down and still have the cute swirlies and such on the pumpkins and still have a dark starry sky. I added more doodling with my white gel pen and glossy accents on the cats eyes and nose. I used Emma's Stitched Oval Die and a sentiment from her Mixed Holiday Sentiments. A little bit of twine and inking and my card was done.

I hope you enjoyed these and thanks again Cindy. These were so much fun to work with!!!

Also make sure to join us for some sneak peeks with My Creative Time starting on Monday :)! Hugs- Glora
