Well a lot has changed since my last post 6 and some years ago.  I am still making cards.  That has been my sanity.  This cat die cut looks exactly like my cat, Scooter.  She is a small cat and a constant source of entertainment.

My Old Blog

I  had an old blog for a number of years.  When I started doing a church blog and church email blogger locked me out of my www.shellysblog-ne.blogspot.com.

They told be I had to be the administrator to get into it.  What?  I finally just gave up and started another totally new blog.  I can still get to the old blog, but can do nothing with it.  Go figure!

 Quick and easy birthday card for kids.

I used my Circuit to cut out the numbers.

Rubber Stamp Tapestry

I get to add all kinds of glitter.

Triptych Cards

 Poppy Stamps Triptych dies.

I had the cream left over from doing the tree trio

that is brown and cream.  I hated to waste it so put it on

green.  I really like the results.  I have also put the cream tree

on rust squares.  I like both.

Flower and Scripture

The yellow of the flower is polished stone.

Butterfly Two

Stamped, embossed and hand painted.  

Love my butterfly stamps.

Butterfly One

The image is stamped on scrapbook paper, embossed with

fine line black embossing powder and painted with 

Twinkling H2o's.

The embossed border was done on the card base

using an Anna Griffin folder.

The image is slightly raised to create a 3-D look.

Birthday Birds

 The above card is for my precious little grand daughters first birthday.

This card went to my cousin.

The die cut greeting is a Sizzix die

and the crazy birds are a Tim Holtz stamp

that a friend and fellow paper crafter let me use.

Keep It Clean and Simple

The stamp is by Our Daily Bread Designs.

The punch I have had for ages.
