Aglamesis Card

Well you have to live in Cincinnati to know what Aglamesis is. For those of you that don't its an ice cream parlour established in the 1800's. My grandfather worked there and it's where my husband and I met working at our first jobs at the age of 17! Its still the best ice cream ever  and certainly is far better than Graeters! This cricut cartridge totally reminds me of the shop in all its pink glory with the couple sharing a soda!

Copic Giraffe

I'm not the best at coloring but I'm very proud of this one! I used Copic Markers and I think I love Y21 as a
blending color with my brown copics!

Mona Lisa

This was a technique card where I used a soda can, cut it and enbossed it with the Big Shot. Then I wiped Black Stazon over it and let it dry. For the back ground of the Mona Lisa I used Alcohol inks from Ranger. I love these inks because you can create wonderful back grounds on glossy paper and  can use it on dominoes, light switchplate covers, frames, tiles anything with a glossy, slick surface .

Wedding Card

It's almost time for all of those summer weddings. I used House Mouse stamps and Prisma Oil Pencils and Gamisol for this.  I generally don't use yellow in my cards so this was me going out of my box. Yes I know I'm such a risk taker! LOL!

Alone time!

Good morning! Just wanted to let everyone know I'm headed to visit my family out west for a couple of weeks. All by myself that is. My DH and girls will be staying home while I take my parents to see their great grand son for the first time. He's 5 months old now and so cute with the best cheeks to squeeze and kiss on! I got to meet him in February for a few short hours where I fell in love with him! So now I will get to spend alot of time with him getting my baby fix in! The best part is I don't have to be a parent just a great aunt and spoil him!

Keep checking my blog because I will have daily posts of cards while I'm gone. And remember to click on followers and sign in so you will get updates when I post! And I really love to hear your comments!

Won't be missing this rain in sunny California!

I found a sale bin at Hobby Lobby and purchased  stickers for some quick Birthday cards! I always want to make and give  handmade cards but sometimes when you know its going to a youngster that can't appreciate your time, these are great! I will cut cardstock and embooss it ahead of time with my Big Shot then its just a matter of  sticking  it all together. I especially love to use the dimensional stickers not the flat stickers. It just looks more professional!
Its Wednesday we're almost to the weekend!
