Day 119 Seeing A Silhouette

Today I'm making a little time to play over at 365 Card's. Today's challenge was to make a Silhouette on your card. This is a favorite silhouette stamp of mine T-2836 Hieroglyph Horses and the sentiment comes from T-2775 More Abundance.

Red,White & Blue and a Star too!

This is Challenge #12 at Stamptacular Sunday. Create a card using Red,White & Blue and a Star too! So this is a card I cut on my Cricut from the Wild Card Cartridge I think it was cut at 5 1/2". The inside has a smaller Red Star with this sentiment stamped in the center "God Bless America" and I stamped the fireworks around the outside with Starry Night Palette ink & added some crystal Stickles.Both of these stamp sets are discontinued from May 2008...

Creative Challenge #12

This is a card I created for this weeks creative challenge on Melisa's blog.

The challenge was to create a card by stamping one image multiple times. I used a stamp from a set on TAC's retired list called T-2875 Fantasy Flourishes. This is still available to order from my on line shopping site located on my side bar at 25% off until 6/26 5:00 CST...

Birthday Card For My Sis

This is a birthday card I made up to send to my sister. I used a paisley cuddle bug folder on my white core paper & sanded lightly, the image is colored with my Copic markers. The stamp set is T-2642 An'Udder Birthday from the Angel Company...

Paityn's Card

Earlier today I made this card with my grandma. I went to the beach for a couple of days and on our car ride home we stopped at my Grandma Kim's. I am staying here for four more days. My name is Paityn and I am 10 years old. I live in Washington, but I visit my grandma and grandpa occasionally. I made this card for my great aunt's birthday. I stamp at home and I would like to be a TAC demonstrator when I am 18 years old. I love Taylor Swift, play piano, crochet, and my favorite animal is an Elephant.
