Wedding Card

Hello friends!  I have a wedding card for you today which is not something that I make too often.  I used an old set from PTI called Wedding Day along with a newer PTI set called Love Birds.  The background is made with two stamps from Wedding Day.  I drew out a grid with my T square to keep things on track.  I stamped in silver ink on Enchanted evening paper.  I cut down a strip of vellum and combined the Love Bird sentiment with a sentiment from wedding day.  Stamped those in Enchanted evening.  I stamped the bird cage on silver paper and cut it out.  Added two enchanted evening birdies.  Thats all there is to it!


Wanted to let you know the blog posting will be real sporatic until after the 24th of July.  I've got some out of town and in town plans that will leave no time for crafting let alone picture taking and blogging.  I do have a couple of photos still waiting to be blogged and if I have time I will schedule them but right now I am thinking thats probably not going to happen.  So in any case thanks for coming by and I will see you in the end of July!

Bitty Bird Valentine

Hello blog friends! I have the Valentine I made for my hubby to show you today. Sorry its a little late for inspiration this year! I was really busy with work, lesson plans etc. but last night while I was running (jogging, actually) I got distracted and turned my head for a second. Well that was all it took. My foot came down on the edge of the asphalt, I rolled my ankle and went head first into a gully. I landed on my shoulder in a mess of gravel. So today I am nursing lots of cuts, bruises, and worst of all, a severely sprained ankle. Will go to the dr. today and let a professional look at it because its a mess. However no walking means no work. No way can I stand and teach all day. I thought about trying to sit and teach but then upon reflection decided I should give this poor foot at least one full day of rest. I have some crutches (yes I am such a klutz I own crutches) and thats how I am getting around at the moment. Well that was probably more info than you needed, eh?
So anyway, onto the card.  I started with a piece of cream cardstock.  I stamped it with the little birds and branches from Bitty Bird (PTI).  The heart is from Simple Valentine and the sentiment is from Love Birds.  The birds and leaves are colored with copic markers.  I lined the inside of the card (um cause I dropped an ink pad on it) with some blue patterned paper (PTI) and I stamped it with a simple little sentiment.
 
Thanks so much for visiting me today!

Valentine's Pockets

Hello Friends! I have a cute little Valentine Pocket for you today.
Its made with half of a kraft envelope.  You seal up the envie and the cut it in half.  Now you have a nice little pocket.  Next you take some Valentine paper, cardstock and stamps and start decorating.  I used Simple Valentine paper, Tiny Treats, Simple Valentine, and Love Birds stamps.  Just start mixing and matching until you come up with something you like.  Stuff the inside with chocolates or whatever you have laying around.

I used the same sets and paper for this pocket as well.  My daughter liked this one, my son preferred the dog.  I guess we know who is getting what for V-day now!  LOL, thanks for stopping in!

Love Birds

What have we here? Today its the Love Birds set. I hand cut the cage, easy peasy- no die for me. I used some silver cardstock with clear embossing. The sentiment is also in embossed silver. It doesnt photograph that great but it looks fabulous. I used the card edger die on the bottom as well. Some little rhinestones at the top for the hanger. Thanks for stopping by!
