Just a little something

Hello everyone, I received a email and I want to share it with you. Her name is Elizabeth and she wanted to share with me that she made The Magic Card, the one I did a tutorial on back in April and she sent me the link to her blog so I could see her card. First of all I was so excited that she made the card it is so easy and turns out so stunning when you are done. With no surprise her card turned out so beautiful and she added two Magnolia images. I'm not going to tell you anymore because I would love for you to stop by Elizabeth's blog and see for yourself. Now if you stop by remember to leave some love.
Now if this is something new to you and you have not seen my tutorial on
The Magic Card just click here and it will bring you right to the tutorial.
I have done a lot of tutorials but if you do any of the card I do have please let me know and I would love to stop by.
I want to thank Elizabeth for letting me know,
Hugs, Patricia

Zebra one of many animals

Zebra 2012

Happy Friday to everyone and I hope you all have a wonderful week end. Here at The Outlaw Twisted Thursday our challenge for this week is anything goes with the twist with a animal  theme. This is an unbelievable easy card. I have this zebra stamp from Embossing Arts, I used versa mark water mark ink and ultra fine embossing power from judi kins and heated it and I also did that to the edges. Added some layers of card stock and finished off the inside of the card and I was done. Here are a couple more views.

They are getting older now and I think I’m going to get a project going and have them make just a little something special this year. Isaiah my grandson that lives in South Dakota will be here soon for the summer soon, that is always so exciting as we all miss him so much. 
   The stamp set is from Crafters Companion it is called Popcorn The Bear unmounted rubber stamp set fishing popcorn, I do have a few stamps added from another one of their sets.

Haleigh’s Graduation


Haleigh graduation 2012

My grand daughter graduates from high school tomorrow and I could not be more proud of her. So I put together this fun card for her and I know she is going to love it. The image reminds me of her she is always so happy and excited about everything and looking so much to her future as she will be starting collage in the fall. The image is one of Sassy Cheryl’s and is called frantic girl graduate digi. The paper I used was from my scraps as I do have so much. The large brads I had and I have no idea who made them. Dies cuts are banner is from a-muse studio and I embossed the paper with cuddle bugs folder dots, CC designs die is the balloons, spellbinder die is labels 8. Added a Owl charm that she can take off.
Haleigh graduation left 2012 Haleigh graduation right 2012

Here is both side views. I sponged around the image with distressed ink dusty concord. Here is a picture of Haleigh this was just taken last month when she went to the prom. I ‘m not going to tell her I added her picture to my blog, I will let her find it. She looks so much like her mother, just adorable.

Haleigh graduation inside 2012
This is what the inside look like. The stamp is from Personal Stamp Exchange but they are out of business now. I add some spica colors lipstick and pitch black to the sentiment.
Haleigh graduation markers
Here are the copic markers and the copic multiliner sp I used to color the image. Haleigh’s favorite color is red and for the school it is lavender, silver and some black. My balloons I cut out with some awesome paper I had and was lost but now is found. I was so excited I found a box of my paper I had in my craft room and have been looking for and could not find it was like Christmas all over again. Can never have to much, right???  I sure do not need to buy anymore for a long time.

Summer Days

Summer Days 2012
I hope everyone has had a wonderful Memorial Day week end spending time with your family’s. I had a wonderful time with family and working out in the yard. It was somewhat HOT but it did feel pretty good. I have not seen this shape of card around much but I received a card from a dear friend like this for my birthday and I had to make one so I email her and found out some information about the card so this is what I found out it is designed by Peerless and called Stubby Diamond card. I do have to tell you it is very important to have your measurements exacts because if you don’t it will not fold together right. I know because I had to redo it several times, but I got it.  The image I have here is from Nicecrane Designs, he has created a couple sets of these wonderful Little Magic Girls  and Little Magic Girls 2, if you would like to check them out. He also has some incredible collage sheets of The Wizard of Oz.
I did take several pictures of the finished card just incase in wanted to make it this way you can see how it looks done in different angles. The spellbinder I used is called lacey circles, Brilliance ink Victorian violet and sky blue. Diamond glaze, ribbon, Ice Stickles grape ice, mint ice and star dust. The little pearls and stuff I got in the bridle department at Hobby Lobby.
