I finished these up a few days ago and I had taken a picture of them... however the card reader on my computer wouldn't read the card and I was going to load it in my laptop and totally forgot.

... a sneak at a card I made for my Mom for Mother's Day

I told myself on Monday to get in gear to make a card.. forgot.. same on Tuesday and yesterday.. then today I am thinking it's Wednesday.. nope, it's Thursday.. come on Pam get it together. I pulled out some papers, already had the stamp set Verve's Because of You that I had purchased from a fellow SCS'er some time ago.. and got to making the card.

The card is a square card.. I like making square cards for special occasions.. you can put more on it!

I mailed it out today via Prioity Mail.. so let's hope that by now, it's already hit the airport and is on a plane heading to TN.

I'll post the full picture as soon as I know my mom has received it.. hope she likes it. Love ya' Momma!!!

Getting ready to make a bunch of "Gus the Golfer" cards

I colored in a whole bunch of Gus the golfer images the last few weeks while my arm was healing/recovering from surgery and the last two days I have been feeling well enough to make some cards. Tonight I cut a bunch of card bases, my husband punched and embossed the large golf balls for me.. and I printed out and cut all the sentiments.. I just need to layer them and the rest of the Gus images.. tomorrow I will put these together.

Here is one of the cards completed:

~ Merry Monday Challenge Card ~ MERRY CHRISTMAS

This card went together pretty easy.. I used a sketch layout for this week's Merry Monday Challenge #19. Here is the layout that I used:

I used two border punches that I got in the last week or two and the embossed panel was one that I had embossed and layered on the Cherry Cobbler piece, but hadn't used.. for this is worked great.



Items used on this card:

stamps: Lizzie Anne Designs "Merry Christmas", Hero Arts Christmas set (can't remember name).. I inked and stamped only the star onto the red oval.

ink: memento black

paper: Cherry Cobbler, White and Old Olive card stock. Pattern Paper My Mind's Eye The Merry Days of Christmas "Pajama Plaid"

accessories: Apline Trail and Scalloped Scallop border punches, Nestabilities Oval die, Red and White twine, Lattice embossing folder, and Dimensionals

OWH Sketch #120...some cards using Utah State digi stamps

I had printed off these digital images from the OWH site a while back, but never got around to coloring them in until recently. On the site, scroll down to Utah.. there are some other great State digis on that page as well. What is really neat about these digi's.. is that you can use one of the Nestabilities dies to cut them out.. I can't remember what the dies are called, sorry.

Just some quick cards using this week's OWH Sketch Challenge~ here's the sketch:

I turned the sketch to fit my images.. and after making the cards, realized I made the center panel the same paper, instead of two. Here are each of the cards:

Finally finished the Golf cards today... been busy coloring images

More than a week ago I started on these golf cards.. but I had an issue with sitting in the chair and putting them together.. my arm kept bumping into the arm of the chair.. and it was bumping right where I had had my operation.. so I left messing with them and gathered up a bunch of digital images I had printed off in the past.. I sat in the living room with my container of copic markers and colored away. These are most all of the ones I finished coloring. I did LOTS of the Gus the Golfer ones.. they are so much fun to color. *I just realized I left several sheets of other digis that I colored in as well, laying on the dining room table. lots of stuff to use on cards.

Today I figured I'd see if I could get back to working on the "GOLF" cards.. and finished most of them earlier today.. and then about a half an hour ago I finished the rest.. 32 in total.
