Blue Butterflies

Hello stamping friends!
So nice of you to stop by. I sure appreciate you visiting my blog and allowing me to share what I've been up to. This card was made for another Twisted Thursday's card challenge on Outlawz. The theme was 'Birds or Butterflies" and was done for the March 24th challenge.

I created this band of butterflies by stamping with a single butterfly stamp and using "mask it" to cover the previously stamped butterfly to create the illusion of 3D.I coloured them with Copic markers and added stickles to pretty them up. I think if I were to do it again, I might try pink instead of yellow under the butterflies.

Thanks for stopping by!
Hugs,
Laurie

Making Music

Hello friends!
So nice to have you drop by. Once again I'm sorry for the long silence on my blog. For those who don't know me, I am battling Lyme Disease and occasionally I go through a really bad spell health wise. When that happens, I try to lay low and reserve my energy for necessary stuff like keeping up with  my DT commitments. I'm back on my feet now and ready to share what I've been creating.

This card was created for an Outlawz card challenge. It was for the Twisted Thursday's April 4th challenge which was to create a card that  had music and/or singing on it. I hope you like what I came up with. 

First signs of Spring

Hi Everyone,
Sorry its been so long since my last post. Today I thought I'd share this bright coloured spring card that I made for the 'Twisted Thursdays" Outlawz challenge. As always the twisted Thursday challenge is an anything goes card. However, if you add the twist, your card will be entered in the challenge twice which gives you a double chance of wining a lovely prize.This week's twist is "First signs of Spring".  Hope you'll get a chance to stop by Outlawzs and maybe even participate in some of their awesome daily challenges. Thanks for visiting my blog. Hugs!

Hello Friends,

Another card for you today. This one was made for a card challenge on Stamp TV. The challenge was to CASE another member's card. The idea is to copy someone else's card but to switch it up a bit so it's your own yet still have it look enough like the one you're casing to be recognizable. This is my version of a card made by another Stamp TV member named Kathy Przeniezny.

Thanks for stopping by.

Creating Word Circles

Hello Friends,

Today I have something a little different for you. Below are a few cards that I've made which include word circles that I created on my computer. I've also included a video so you can see how it's done. Creating word circles is a great idea for personalizing your cards. Of course because you're creating them yourselves, the greeting options are unlimited. The first two cards shown below were just random ones that I've made where as the third was made for someone in particular. Have some fun and see what you can create.



Sweet Little One

Get Well Soon

Happy Valentine's Day!
I am so excited to bring you today's post which is a card I made for the Twisted Thursday card challenge on the "Outlawz Challenges" website. What makes this card different from other ones you may ask? Well let me tell you. :) I am so excited to announce that I've been asked to join their design team and this is my first card as a DT member of the Twisted Thursdays team.
So fellow card makers, if you would like to join in some fun, hop on over to "Outlawz Challenges" (link is on the right) and enter some of the challenges. There are seven challenges per week and lots of great prizes to be won.
The Twisted Thursday challenge is an anything goes card but if you would double your chances of winning all you have to do is incorperate the twist. For this week, the twist is to have a window on your card. Our design team members have posted some example for you so come on over and join the fun.
Thanks for visiting. happy stampin to you!

Polka Dot Birthday Card

Roses for Penny

Hello friends,
Welcome to another post. Today's card was made for a dear friend for her birthday. This image is from CC Designs and is called "Rosalie with Roses" I added stickles to the roses for a little bling and tiny pearls for buttons on her dress. For card stock I used Stampin' Up colours Basic black, Whispering White, Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant. I coloured "Rosalie" with Copic markers.

Have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by.
