Jane Austin fans

Good afternoon Ladies.....how is everyone this bright hot day? I may be going out of town with hubby for business...not sure yet....I don't like sitting in a car for hours on end...and thats what this would be. Anyway thought I would make a quick post...no cards sorry. But Over the weekend I watched the best movie ever..."Persuasion"....it is a BBC made in 2007 with Sally Hawkins as the lead....Anne Elliot. If you are at all a fan of Jane Austin or not...you will love this movie. Fantastic!! Give it a look see and see for yourself! Have a great rest of the day and I'll be back soon with some cards or even layouts!

Just a note




Hi all....#1 post today. I was not feeling my best on Tuesday and I worked late last night trying to get these finished for today. I have first up my card for 2 Sketches 4 you. I have used the Junebug collection from Basicgrey. On this card I used fragments from Tim Holtz and I alcohol inked them then used a stamp to stamp on the other side and cut a butterfly to layer on top. I also wrapped the edges of the fragments in memory foil for a cool look! I hope you can see the detail .....as always you can click on the pic and it will enlarge. Have a great weekend! I am going to enjoy the day! Having lunch with a friend......be back soon.

The greatest of these .......is love

And of course a Maya Road sheer. Oh aren't those flowers pretty? They are from Pettaloo. On to the card...I tried to give 2 views so you can see it better...enjoy! As always if you click on the pic it enlarges.

Hello all......this is part of my Cosmo Cricket design team application. Blogger will only let me post 5 pics at a time. In the next post I explain more about my application. I am really looking forward to this process. Her is my altered project....a photo box.

Cosmo Cricket Design Team post 2
















Hi all!! I am back....its sooo good to be home but I did have an awesome time seeing my new grandbaby. He is pictured in the upcoming photo box. Anyway......I have decided to try out the Cosmo Cricket Design Team. I just love there papers and embellies! I must say they are one of my favorite companies.......there papers are soooo easy to work with. This is my first actual tryout for any paper company design team so I am really excited. I have a few cards.....I like to think they are my specialty. Then I have a really neat altered photo box. And lastly a layout....my other grandson is featured in this one { the younger boy }. Hope you enjoy! Wish me luck! Oh wanted to mention that the ice cream cone card was one I designed in the cricut design studio. Also the lollypop card was hand cut. Thanks for looking!
