~~~cutesy Easter Egg Card~~~

I decided to use my Make The Cut program to see how it worked with my expression.  Other than it cut slow ( took a long time to make the cuts)  I think the card turned out ok!!! I have been going thru some old drawers and boxes and came across this bunny and little sign that I had gotten before I got my expression!!!  They seem to have found a home on the egg card that I downloaded from the files people have shared on the site!!!  I wish I had a name to give the person who shared this file but I thank her because I haven't learned how to use inkscape yet to make my own files.  I think i will try my hand at using DS to make the little bunny!!  Funny I feel like I am cheating when I use pre- made things anymore!!!!

Newst sketch challangeCard

Well finally I got to get back in my room and make a quick card!!!  Easter is right around the corner and not one card made to send to family!!!  I used the sketch from the card forum "Raq a weekly challenge"  to do the layout of this card!!!  I love the bunny from the Winter Woodland cartridge and used that cut at 3" layered and inked with Tim Holtz distress inks!!!(pop Dotted of course)  I mixed a prima with a K&Company flower embellishment  and embossed the bottom of the card with the Textile Cuddlebug folder.Its a start to the card list and one I enjoyed making!!!

Raq’s Sketch 2 -24





 




Well there has been a rash of twin babies born and the second sketch seemed so appropriate for this card!!! I used New Arrival . I used my cuddlebug to do a little embossing and ink and doodled and lots of pop dots!!! I can't imagine having twins myself and think parents of twins need to be very special parents to handle two at the same time don't you!!! Thanks for looking!!!

Raq's sketch 1 weekly Challange 2-24


I have been totally enjoying the sketches you all have put up for the weekly challenges'




I used A Childs Years for this sketch and Uti'd up a flower I had inked and viola` A Mother's Day card !!!


 










Mother and child was cut at 3 inches (shadow and regular pop dotted of course!!)

My flower is a silk flower I had that i embossed with heavy embossing power with glitter in it and a little pearl brad and cut flower in center.  If you look closely i used three pearls on right 
corner.  I turned to the computer for the sentiment to get the right font for my card.

Raq's challange sketch 1

Well I made this more of a challenge for myself by using uti on my prima flowers on this card for the first time!!  I think it turned out pretty good and I followed along with the sketch.
 

Makin Sweet Music

This card has been floating around in my mind for some time!!!  I wanted the musical notes but couldn't remember which cart they were on, when in a post someone mentioned using JOTS.  I am tyring to build up my stash of cards!!!  I used the little birdie couple from Sweethearts cart cut at 3 inches and layered and popped many times.  I the sentiment is computer generated!!!  and the frame is also from sweethearts (the license plate).  Let me know what you think I so like reading your comments!!!!
This is the inside of the card (sticking to that NewYears Resolution).
