Meowy Christmas...for a cat lover

Made this card for a friend who is a huge cat lover...she has a black and a grey cat...so I thought I would make her a personal card for Christmas...hope she likes it.

Teddy Bears!!!!

What could be cuter??? This week at My Sheri, we are submitting projects with teddy bears...be sure to add yours...here is mine...

And so the Christmas cards begin...

I am knee deep in Christmas papers and lovin it...I only started making cards just prior to last Christmas, and my stamp and cart collection has grown since then, so it is exciting to be making Christmas cards for everyone...this one I designed my self...the door, swag and lamp posts are all from Christmas/Noel cart and the bird is from Winter Woodland. the branches are from the Martha Stewart Punch...quite possibly my favorite punch...tfl!!!

Your Dreams are Closer than you think!

This week I am hosting RAQ's card challenge...it has been so much fun making cards, and now I am making sketches too. This card I designed from one of the sketches I posted in the challenge. I had been sitting on the couch in the morning talking to dd as she was getting ready for work, and our cat, Hershey, jumped up in the bay window. I was watching him, stalk the birds, and his tail was swishing back and forth...and then the inspiration came...but, I didn't have a sentiment. By the time I had the card done, dd was at work (full time nanny), so I texted her and told her I needed a cute sentiment...described the card to her and waited. Within about 3 min she texted me back with her idea, and it was perfect. Sentiment was computer generated, windows and branches are from Christmas/Noel, cat is from PDDU...the epoxy prints and cat button I had laying around for a long time, so it was good to use them up. Bird is from WW I think (borrowed a bunch of carts from a friend, and made a whole lot of cuts)

Sunset Card

This was something new for me. Dave & I were driving along the river last night, and the sun was just setting...it was a crisp, clear night, and the sunset was gorgeous...thats the moment of inspiration...started with a light blue card base...used pink and orange inks first, then took a stiff paintbrush (small artist one) and started with my chalks, which I almost never use. Started blending and mixing colors and am so impressed with the result...the shoreline was cut with the deckle edge scissors, the extra large one and popped up. There are some small trees cut from Christmas/Noel, and the birds are from LIAB. The sentiment is a stamp, and then embossed for some oomph (thanks to LarelynSartini on the cricut mb for that tip).

Thy Word...

This has to be one of my favorite cards that I've made...maybe because I thought of the overall content myself, instead of borrowing ideas from other cards. The lighthouse, wave, and seagull are from LIAB, trees from WW, house from C/N, and the sentiment is computer generated. The rocky shoreline was hand cut and inked for depth, and the little bushes are ms punch

Another all occasion card for RAQ's card challenge...this one I love...the shelf is from Christmas/Noel, the bird from HD and the sentiment is from BB...green branch is of course the ms branch punch, and the bird house is from syi.
