Super Girl!

 
I firmly believe that every little girl (and boy) needs someone to look up to.  Someone who can inspire and encourage them to be the best they can be.  However, sometimes these “role models” are not always easy to find.  Therefore, they must find the superhero within. This card was inspired by a sentiment I got from Create w/TLC and this adorable image from Mo’s Digital Pencil. 
I used Copics to color this cutie and the cardstock is a generic paperstack that I got from Michaels.

Fairy Wonderful

This card is one of my favorites.  I absolutely love this cute fairy from Mo’s Digital Pencil Too and the perfect sentiment from Creations w/TLC.  Her little bum is what makes this card toothache sweet. *gigl*

As usually, I used Copic markers to color her and the cardstock is from Bazzill.  The DP is from SU and I added some heart gem embellies.

I hope you love her as much as I do.  TFL.

My Cards

Greetings!

I hope that your day is going as well as my day is going.  The sun is shining and it is gorgeous outside.  I wanted to post a few cards that I created, but haven't put them on my blog.  I make so many cards and I'll post them on Splitcoastsstampers or Paper Craft Planet, but forget to add them to my blog. *gigl*

Anyway, I hope that you like them as much as I enjoyed creating them.

My birthday post

Greetings!

Today is my birthday!  I am proud to say that the good Lord above has allowed me to see 38 years.  I am so thankful.  I awoke this morning thanking God for a sound mind.  I hear so many people talk about their parents having Alzheimer and Dementia and I’m just thankful that I know who I am and where I am when I woke up.

We should never take this for granted, because a mind is truly a terrible thing to waste.  You could have a million dollars, but if you don’t know you have it what good is it. 

Well, I’m off to enjoy the day!  Blog with you later. TFL.

Merging images using MS Word

Hello everyone,
I created the following toot below to illustrate how to merge images using MS Word.
Just click on the link Using MS Word to merge images.  Also, after you have made the images transparent, you can then move them around until you have your desired layout.

Here’s a card I created by merging two images from Mo’s Digital Stamps. TFL.

My 1st Birthday

Greetings!

I am not posting any pics today, but instead wanted to share with you the story of how I ended up with 2 birthdays (yes 2!). As you have probably read in my profile, I come from a large family. My sibilings and I tend to laugh at the fact that each and every one of our birth certificates has a mistake on it. My birth certificate has the wrong birthdate. My mother claims (with great certainity) that I was born on June 15th; however, my birth certificate states June 9th. Therefore, I celebrate both days. I celebrate June 9th quietly by myself and the 15th with friends and family.

Having two birthdays fits my Gemini personality perfectly! I have always followed the motto that "two is better than one." Therefore, I've gotten two Associate degrees and two Bachelor degrees. I truly believe that having two of something brings order and balance to your life.

Anyway, that is my story (and yes I am sticking with it).

Below is the card I created for Create w/ TLC’s “Fish out of Water,” challenge.  I used a technique called paper piecing (not to be confused with paper piercing).  I will post a toot on this technique.  It is very easy. 

The materials I used for this card are:

DP (designer paper) entitled Fish out Water by Create w/TLC

Copic Markers

Fish bowl charm (came with various other charms)

Cuttlebug embossing folders

Sizzix Fish bowl diecut with accessories

Thanks for visiting,
