Lazy day!!!

Today was the first of 3 days off!! I have been very lazy all day!! I didn't even get dressed until 3:30 this afternoon!!!
Here is a picture of little Brooke (our grand-daughter) taken yesterday.
Her Daddy is trying to teach her to keep her dress down!!
She just insists on showing her belly!! She will be 4 months old in about a week.


So while being lazy today, I read emails, surfed around on Facebook and SCS, updtated my next SU order and I managed to download some more pictures that I lost on my hard drive.
So then I thought it was time to try to get a little creative. I made the 2 following cards for my Mom. She has a list of about 15 cards she wants made for her. She picks them off of my Facebook photos.
The stamp set is SU Give Thanks.
The Thank you is by Inkadinkadoo (Kathy Walsh)
The Thanks a bunch is SU Love ya bunches.
The paper is Real Red, Pacific Point, Night of Navy,PTI White, Misc & CM dp.
I colored with Prismacolor markers, added stickles, rounded the corners with my CM corner punch. I used the SU Circle & Scallop punches.
Then I added a ribbon to each card.
I really liked making this next card. It is a Clean & Simple for this weeks CAS22 Challenge.
I dry embossed the flowers with the Cuttlebug "plants" folder, then colored them with my Pebbles Chalks. I added a pretty ribbon to the top and then stamped Happy Birthday (SU Warmest Regards), and punched it out with the SU Large Oval punch. I sponged the oval with Elegant Eggplant. The card base is Elegant Eggplant, PTI White, and I added a piece of Pale Plum inside that I punched on the side with a Martha Stewart Punch.




Well, that's about it for today.
I've also been watching TV all day. Lifetime channel!!
Drop Dead Diva is on now, then Army Wives!!!
Good night!!

Secret Sister #4 Unusual Fold card

Image
Here is my Secret Sister Challenge #4. We were to make a card with an unusual fold.  I'm not sure what this fold is called. I have made it before, but this time seemed a bit more challenging!!  I hope you can tell that it is PURPLE!!   I hope my SS likes it.  I did emboss the flowers, sponged around the edges and added bling! She does like bling!! The paper is SU Lavendar Lace, and Gina K Vibrant Purple. I used Stephanie Barnard's the Stamps of Life , Thanks 2you, for the flowers, and Banners 4all for the "hi". This is the partially opened position. I added 2 Primas and a rhinestone brad. This is the open position. I hope my SS likes this one. I LOVE the colors myself!!! Here are the dimensions if you would like to try the card yourself. 1.Cut an 8-1/2 x 11 peice of cardstock in half lengthwise. 2.Score at the dimensions marked. Here is what it looks like when scored. I cut the contrasting color 1/8" smaller.  This card has a circle tha...
