HOWDY, PARTNER

I THINK THAT I'M TOTALLY IN LOVE WITH MO'S DIGITAL STAMPS...THE IMAGES ARE JUST SO CUTE!

I made this card for the Buttons, Banners and/or Birthday challenge over at http://diecuttindivas.blogspot.com, but will be sending it off to sendasmile4kidschallenge.blogspot.com, with other cards that I am making for them.  If you have a chance, please stop by and see the good thing they are doing.

Im the sheriff 'round here!

For this card I used the following cartridge and measurements.  Country Life-barn (pg58), cut at

5 1/2 inches, Banners-dog (pg 35), lamb ( pg 41), chicken (pg 43) and the mouse (pg 47), all cut at

1 1/4 inches.

I used the Martha Stewart scoreboard to make the lines for the siding on the barn, brown ink for accent and added the two doors (with pop dots) onto the hayloft (not on cricut cut).  I then used the Swiss Dots embossing folder for the silo, inked the roof and side for shadows and placed pop dots behind it (silo) and the roof for depth.  I also used buttons on the banner and a piece of twine for the pony.

For the little cowboy by Mos didgital pencil...I used the following Copic to color him...Flesh-E000, E00, E01 and R20...Cowboy hat/holster/star-E53, E55, E57, Y26 and Y28...Pony-B21, B23, E13 and E15...Bottles-YR02, YR04, B000 and R000...Pacifiers-R000 and R20...lastly the diaper-B000

Simplicity...

With spring in the air and living in the country, I decided to make a couple of cards that would reflect the activities that would soon be happening in our town...

We have county fairs to look forward to and a big part of the fairs are the live stock and craft exhibits, so I thought each of these cards would fit the bill.  Id really like to make a complete set of cards and give them as a gift.

                                                                

                                                    I love this image...I think its so cute!

For this card (4 1/2 x 6 1/4) I used the following cartridge and measurement.  Country Life-Pig N Chicken (pg 39), cut at 3 inches.  I used a printed paper and solid paper for the background and inked the edges of the image with a warm brown.  I also used pop dots to mount the image.  Even thought this card is simple, I think it turned out quite nice.

                                                          
                                                                     A stitch in time!

Again, for this card (4 1/4 x 6 1/4) I used the Country Life cartridge, this really is a cute cartridge.  The image and measurement for this card-Quilt (pg 65), cut at 3 1/4 inches.   I used the same printed paper for the background and the warm brown ink for the edges of the image, placed stitch marks with a white pen and added a few buttons for emellishment.

I feel that sometimes less is more...and in this case, I think it may be true.  Thank you for looking.  Kathie

Baby album...a work in progress

My husband and I are going to become grandparents for the first time and I wanted to make
something special for my daughter, so her and her husband will have something to remember all of the first's and special moments in their little ones first year of life!

Like the title says...this is a work in progress, so Ill be posting new pages as they are finished.

Special Delivery

For this layout I used the following cartridges and measurement.   Sugar and Spice-stork, cut at 4 1/2 inches and Pooh and Friends-grass icon (pg 29) various sizes to give some depth.  I also cut the mats from matching colored cardstock for easy placement of the photo.

                                                                    Splish Splash!

On the rubber duckie layout, I used the following cartridges and measurement.  Sesame Street and Friends-duck (pg 71) cut at 4 1/2 inches, Sponge Bob-bubbles (pg49) icon/shadow, cut at 3/4 and

1 1/4 inches and Sugar and Spice-Bath Time, cut at 3 inches.  I also used Glossy Accent and glitter on the bubbles.  Again, using matching colored cardstock for the photo mat.

                                                                                

                                   

                                                                              

                                                                     Sweet Dreams!

Here are the cartridges and measurements I used on the Bed Time layout.  Country Life-sheep

(pg) 41, cut at 2 1/4 inches and Sugar and Spice-Bed Time/moon and stars, cut at 2 inches.  I decided

to make the sheep in pink and blue, since we dont know what the baby will be yet..besides, CUTE!

I also used Glossy Accent on the stars and the lambs legs/ears.  Oh, and I used mini brads for the

little eyes.

                                                                           

                                                             Hap, hap, happy Easter!

And on the final layout for today, I used the following cartridges and measurements.  Easter 2010-

eggs, cut at 3/4 inches and Pooh and Friends-Piglet (pg 41) cut at 5 inches, fence (pg 30) cut

at 4 inches, grass (pg 29) cut at various sizes and clouds (pg 16) icon, cut at various sizes.  I used

Glossy Accent and glitter on the eggs to give a little sparkle and like the other mats, I used matching

colored cardstock to post the photos. 

*For the Piglet layout, I made a card using this design last year for an Easter card and decided that I

liked it so much, that Id have to use it again sometime...Now is sometime and I think itll look sweet

in the babys album.
