HAP-BEE Birthday!

Well, I think it's time for me to make some cards for 2014... Here is my first card for my friend Rosie's Birthday in February. I used one of my newest images called " Honey Bee" and if you would like to purchase it just click on the name or HERE. I made my own plaid paper using Photoshop and colored my image there as well. I just love Photoshop and I keep perfecting my coloring by trying different tools. I cut out the beehive and placed it over my colored image to give it depth, just like paper piecing... I added a swirll that I cut out using one of my Sizzex Dies and used a black glitter cardstock. The sentiment is also one of mine that I made in MS Word and colored it in. I added a sunflower and glossy accents to the bees wings and the door in the bee hive. 

I have decided to enter this card to the following challenges:

Through The Craft Room Door ... Theme is "Anything Goes"

Fantastic Tuesday ... Theme is "Make it Cute or Sweet"

Just Inspirational Challenges ... Theme is "Swirls"

Word Play Saturday ... Theme is "Yellow"

My Latest Cards

I just wanted to share a few of my latest cards that I made. I hope you like them...

My first card is going to be my Christmas Card for next year. I decided that I should get them started early. I used my "Mittens" image and colored them using Photoshop. This image is not in my store but I have a similar one called "Winter Mittens". I added some Stickles, a sentiment and a snowflake.

This card was made for my friend Rosie to give to one of her relatives. I used my "Reindeer In Snow" image and you can purchase it at my store. I colored it using Photoshop and turned it in to an oil painting. I just love using this feature... I made my plaid background in Photoshop too. A sentiment, ribbon, glitter and a snowflake completed the card.

This card was made for my friend Rosie's husband Jeff for his birthday. I used my image called "Men's Tie Trio" which you can purchase at my store. I used Photoshop to color my image and to created my plaid background paper. I added Glossy Accents to the ties, a ribbon and sentiment.

Well, I hope you like my latest cards!

Christmas 2013

Here is one of my latest cards. My friend Rosie asked me to make cards for her family and this is one of them. I used paper from my stash and this sheet music that I found on the Internet years ago. The image is one of mine called "Vintage Ice Skate" and you can purchase it at my store. I cut out an extra skate to make a pair and added stickles glitter and two pearls. I used some ribbon and lace to give it a Vintage look. My sentiment completes my creation. I hope you like it!!!
