My Little Bit of Whimsy Cards

Hi Everyone:
First off I need to offer my congratulations to Stephanie on her marriage.  She is just back from her honeymoon.  Can't wait to hear how it was and see more pictures.  Welcome home Steph we missed you.
Anita here again with some cards that I made using some of Stephanie's wonderful buttons and pins.  I had such fun creating these.
Here is the first card that I made using papers from my Little Shoe Box.  I love how cute this button looks over the doily and with the twine.
For my second card I used an oldie but goodie card technique that I just love.  It is a slider card.  I used one of Stephanie's cupcake buttons and mounted the back on a penny and then put a pop dot on the back and then added the second penny.  I slipped this set into the track that I created on my card and my cupcake slides from one end of the card to the other.  These are some older Creative Imaginations papers that I have just been waiting for the right opportunity to use.

For my third card I made a pocket card.  I used one of Stephanie's larger buttons and thought this card would be perfect for my dear hubby.  I love these Simple Stories papers for male cards. 
I just love how my last card came out. It is probably my favorite of the four.  I used My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Breeze papers.  I found that I had two buttons and one stick pin from MLBOW that worked perfectly with these papers.
As you can see I love The Twinery Twine and use it on everything. Be sure to stop by the store often as Stephanie is always adding new stuff.  Have a great month and I will see you soon.
Hugs,

2/15/12 Cardabilities Card Sketch #49



Hi Everyone:
Here is my take on Karan's Sketch #49 for Cardabilities.  You can check it out and play along here.  I wanted to do something fun with the hearts so I used Shrinky Dinks.  I cut the hearts out using Memory Box dies and then stamped in Staz On prior to baking.  I love how they came out.  Hope you have a chance to play along with Karan's sketch.  See you soon.


2/15/12 LCOM weekly card sketch


Hi Everyone:

Here is the card that I made for this week's sketch from Let's Capture our Memories with the sketch that the lovely Kimberly made.  I am participating in a dollar store challenge on this site and she sent us these Valentine cupcake liners and I made mine into flowers.  I used a die from My Favorite Things to punch out the smalloer flower and and some other punches and dies for the larger one's.  Thanks for looking.  You can join the challenge here.
Hugs,

2/13/12 Unscripted Sketches Challenge #145

Here is a card that I made using sketch #145 from Unscripted Sketches.  You can check it out here and play along.  I used Lili's Stuffed Bunny from Inky Impressions stamps for the image.  I colored her in with the Faber-Castell markers for a change from my Copics.  Think I like the Copics better.  I also just found out about these Epiphany Crafts Shape Studio punches and am having a blast using them.  I used a heart and a round one.  It is so much fun to match your papers.  Thanks for looking. 
Hugs,
