Baby and Me

Greetings!

Whew, what a world-whind of a week this has been.  I find it hard to believe that we are already almost half way through February.  I was offered a new job last week so things have been crazy for me, because I start my new job on Monday.  I have been working in the same department for a little over 13 years.  My new job is totally opposite of my current job.  I will managing one of our most active campuses and supervising over a dozen employees.  Yikes!  I love the campus and people so I am prayful that all will work out for the good. *smile*  It is hard for me to move out of my comfort zone and leave my co-workers, but it is time.  I have learned only God knows when it is time and I feel that he is gently nudging me in the direction of an open door of endless possibilities.  I love him for knowing what I truly need.

Well, I am going to share with you a card that I made a little bit ago using Mo Manning's image and just now getting the opoortunity to post it.

Here's my creation...

Baby and Me

Using a 6x6 kraft cardbase, I layered on blue and white cardstock.  I also added pink polka dot dp and a lace diecut.  I used my Spellbinder's heart diecut and cut out a blue mat.  I cut out the image using a circle diecut and colored my image using Copics.  To finish my card off, I added a flourish swirl and some blue flowers. 

Thank you for looking and commenting!

Now get to creating...

 

Remember:  There are no mistakes in cardmaking, only opportunities for creativity.

Here are my creations...

Nature Tote

Nature Tag

I designed this tag using my Cameo.  I started out with yellow cardstock and designed a butterfly tag.  I used print and cut and layered on the white cardstock.  Lastly I used print and cut to cut out my flowers and matted to a yellow background.  I colored my image using Copics.  I finished it off by stapling ribbon on the top.

Butterfly Card

This card was created by sarting out with a yellow cardbased.  I layered on orange cardstock, which I punched the bottom using Martha Stewart Lace punch.  I created a tile background using the freebie image matted on green cardstock.  I colored the image using Copic markers.  I finished the card with a sentiment from Create with TLC "Be a Butterfly set."  

Nature Plaque

My last project, which is a new medium I have learned, is putting images on ceramic tiles.  I purchased 41/4x41/4 ceramic tiles from my local home improvement store and using Modge Podge I adhered the images on to the tiles.  I then went over the image again with another coat of Modge Podge and finished it off with an acrylic sealer that can be purchased from either Michaels or Joanns.  Using a sentiment from Create with TLC, I cut out the wordart on vinyl using my Cameo and adhered it to the tile.  I did not spray it with the acrylic sealant, because I found it causes the edges of the vinyl to curl.  The handle/hanger was made using wire and pearl beads.  I love how it turned out and it will probably hang on my front door or in the mudroom.

As you can see, I got a bit carried away with this beautiful cosmo flower freebie and ended up created 4 projects.  I wanted to show how versatile this delicate little flower could be any project that you could imagine.
