Key Chain Mini Album

I made this key chain for my niece, she has it clipped to her diaper bag. I love how it turned out & the kids are pretty cute too :) I'm thinking I need to make a bunch more of these, got lots of ideas for them.

January Card Class

Just thought I'd share the cards I did for my class this month. I used the Authentique Gathering papers for all 4 cards. I also offer the cards as a kit for you to make, the 4 cards are $10.00 + shipping.

Some more Christmas cards

Yes I've been slacking off on posting my daily Christmas cards

so here's a few. This is a class I'm doing on Tuesday.

This card was made with a Northwoods stamp colored with Copic markers than glittered.

I used a clear set of Stampendous snowman stamps for this quick card then colored them with my Sakura Starburst gel pens.

This guy was so cute, I couldn't pass him up, he's a Northwoods stamp also. I love the cardinals. I colored this one with Copics then glittered it. My Martha Stewart icicles punch was a perfect fit for this card.

Another simple card. I used the Hero Arts pine branch stamp & colored it with Copics. The cardinals are Heartfelt Creations stamps which I stamped and colored with Copics then cut them out and glittered the card.

Easy Canvas Prints

I recently received a canvas print from Easy Canvas Prints The process was very easy to navigate, the hardest part was choosing a picture to have done :) I was pleased with the canvas, I only wish I would've ordered a larger one I ended up with a 16x20 print. The quality is very nice and I had it in no time at all. If you're ever considering canvas, I highly recommend Easy Canvas Prints. They often offer deals so be sure to check them out frequently.

Deer & Snowman

I'm not typically a big colorer & try to stay away from stamps that need much coloring but lately I have been intrigued with Northwoods Stamps. There really wasn't too much coloring with this one and the glitter really adds a lot.

Another Simple Card

Here's another super simple card. I had a class tonight and this was one of the cards they made. I called it the 2 minute card because it is that simple. You could totally whip up a ton of these for your cards but I don't like making multiples of a card. I had this Tim Holtz embossing folder for about a year before I finally used it. Here it is

Mirror card is hard to photograph so this pic is kinda funky but you get the idea.

Simple & Quick Christmas Card

There's no denying my favorite tool for card making is my Cuttlebug, I love that you can make simple cards in no time and they look fabulous. For this card I used the holly embossing folder, colored the berries red, used my brayer and a glue pad to add adhesive to the embossing then sprinkled glitter over it and mounted it to a piece of mirrorcard. To finish the card off I used my scor pal to put two score lines at the bottom of the card. Best part of this card, it can be mailed for .44. I always have a hard time with that.

A Month of Christmas Cards

If there's any of you left out there that read my blog :) I have decided to try to get back into my blogging this month and share with you a Christmas card a day for this month. I'm in full blown Christmas card making for my own stash and for the classes I have been teaching I thought I might as well share them on my blog too. I'll post my first card this evening so stay tuned :)

The Pink Elephant Challenge #100

Hey everyone, I am still around :) I've been MIA from my blog for awhile as I have been spending a lot of time with family. The end of March my nephew was killed in Afghanistan so it's been a busy & emotional past couple months. He was buried in Arlington and we got to go there for the burial, what an honor. He is greatly missed. Through this I have realized how much I have taken the freedoms of this country for granted and those that sacrifice for us every day.

Other things I have been doing is teaching classes in my home and dying ribbon and selling it on etsy and my website The Pink Petal Designs I would like to get some other things to sell on my site too so in the near future I will be carrying some scrapping and card making supplies along with card and scrapbook kits.

Here is a sample of my ribbon that I dye, this one is a new favorite color "robins egg".

I had the honor to sponsor the challenge this week with my ribbon at The Pink Elephant Challenge and will be offering a buy 3 get 1 free sale on my ribbon for the rest of the month. So be sure to pop over there and check out what the girls have done with my ribbon this week. I also created a card for the challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to either check out my etsy page or website if you're interested in purchasing some of my ribbon!
