Simon Says Anything Goes - Easter Cards

Boy, it's been a while since I posted anything.  I have had a lot going on my life the past year or so!

I'm excited to have created these fun Easter cards for the Anything Goes challenge over at Simon Says Stamp!

It's Your Day

I am entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge! I love these swans that come from  the Thankful for You stamp set from Close to My Heart and is available here through me:  I used Swan Lake papers!

Thankful for you!

Birthday Card for a Dear Friend

Ha ha! I bet you were expecting another Easter card!  I made this for a dear friend's birthday. We have been friends for over 30 years now. It is hard to believe that much time has flown by.   I am entering this in the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge this week.

Thanks for visiting!

Getting Ready for Easter!

I'm starting to make Easter cards. I love Springtime from Authentique. The 3 x 4 cards make it so easy to make a cute card.  I'll be sharing more later. I am entering this in the Simon Says Anything Goes challenge this week.

I CASEd this card from someone--wish I had saved the photo/name to give credit. I love it so much!  I put the butterfly & mat in the top middle of the card to meet the Simon Says In the Middle challenge.

Amy Knollmeyer Photography photos of Mitch's Girlfriend

I made this layout of my son's girlfriend. She was supposed to be a "snake." Such a pretty snake, indeed!  The photos were taken by a professional during a "Vogue" style session.  I had fun making my own background in the upper right using a mask and some paints, and Tim Holtz distress stains in a blue and white color (don't have the bottles right here). I love how this turned out! I made it for Simon Says Make Your Own Background!!!

Thanks for looking. Let me know you stopped by, and I'll come visit you!!!

Have a great day!

3rd Take on Prom

Well, here are more of the prom photos! I made this for Simon Says Anything Goes.

2nd Take on Prom--You Two Have So Much Fun!

Well, I am on a roll with the prom photos! I made this for Simon Says Anything Goes and for my friend Stacy's tic tac toe challenge. I chose a different row this time...

Prom

I had a lot of fun making this layout. I wanted to add a little elegance and a lot of playfulness which describes Mitch and his girlfriend Meredith so much.  I embossed a lovely, light blue and white paper with a gorgeous embossing folder and then rubbed a darker ink all over it to bring out the embossing. It is meant to go with the flowers in the gorgeous dress. I also used the yellow background for that purpose. I added the black borders to go with Mitch's suit!! I am entering this in Simon Says Anything Goes challenge--love those!!!!! I am also entering it in my friend Stacy's tic tac toe challenge: mist, alphas and buttons....

Life is Better When YOU are Laughing--My Darling Niece Julie!

I am entering it into Simon Says Stamp blog anything-goes Wednesday challenge--my fourth for the challenge (I usually can't get it together enough for that many entries--maybe it will finally be my lucky week). A few years ago while we were celebrating Thanksgiving with my family, several of us decided to play disc golf. It was fun seeing Julie get the giggles as she played for the first time (I think). I thought all of her fun poses and faces would make a great layout! I am totally into the latest craze of Polaroid frames! And, I was lucky enough to win the Jillibean collection a while back. The flowers are CTMH; the button, October Afternoon; the twine,The Twinery; the jewels, Pebbles. The green frame on the left was made with an American Crafts die that I also won!!!

Thanks for looking!

1971 - Summer

This layout is of my twin sister and me in the summer of 1971.  Wow!   I am entering it into Simon Says Stamp blog anything-goes Wednesday challenge .

The die cuts are courtesy of American Crafts! I was lucky to win them!

Thanks for looking.

Beauty

This girl is beautiful --even made up like a snake! :-) I entered this in my friend Stacy's challenge.

Another Canvas

I made this for the Simon Says Stamp on Anything but Plain Paper. Here, I've stamped on a canvas... :-) I just love the Julie Nutting dolls! I could make a million of these, but then what would I do with them all! I have hung three of them in my craft room already and gave this one away to Mitchell's ex-girlfriend who we still wish well!! :-)

Thanks for visiting. Hope your weekend starts off great!!!!

Prom 2012 - Take 2

I created this for Scrapfit's challenge #68 to use mist.  Sorry about the blur in the center of the photo--I guess I need to look at my lense.
