Mud Pies for Sale

I made this little messy fellow and the sign for a swap.......had an extra and decided to use it on a birthday card. The little boy is PPDU......hat is from Pooh and Friends. The sign is from Pooh, too. Used lots of chalk and lots of ink, including what I used to make the little guy "muddy." The little frogs are PPDU. Trimmed with adhesive ribbon and buttons. Inside has another frog and "Hoppy Birthday!"

Caribbean Cutie!

I needed a little girl to go on some recipe pages for a swap on in - Pina Colada cupcakes.....YUM! Anyway, here is the creation. Doll is cut at 3" on blackout; peachy keen simple simon face with chalked cheeks. The hair is the ballet dancer, enhanced with a marker. Bow is the clown's bowtie cut at 1 1/2", enhanced with a gold gel pen. The bikini top is the island girl - the belt is the pirates sash-shorts are the leprechaun. Sandals are from the wise man in the nativity series. I had some great cardstock that was double sided. Since I made 20 of these little babes, I kept flipping patterns. If you're willing to play with PPDU, the combos are endless! It is my favorite cartridge!

St. Patrick's Day Couple

My aunt and uncle have an anniversary on St. Patrick's Day and I made this little couple to go on their card.

Bride" 3" paper doll cut on blackout. Bride's dress cut once in white and once in green for inset. Used a gold gel pen to embellish. White layer ran through Cuttlebug with Swiss Dots folder. Brides hair and shoes. Veil is cut on dotted swiss vellum, decorated with a piece of scrap yellow I cut with a cuttlebug die cut/embossing element. The gloves are the Prom Girl's....I put them on front and back of hands. The bouquet is paper flowers with pearls added. Face is from Peachy Keen's Simple simon assortment as well with some added chalk.

My last three Christmas Cards

I hope you and your family had a great Christmas holiday, and I wish you love and happiness in the coming New Year!

These are the last 3 Christmas cards I made. Since they were for my family, I didn't post them or they would see them before Christmas. I used PPDU and a little Christmas Cheeri.

Spots and Dots/Plaid Turkeys

Here is my Polka Dot Turkey! I used PPDU for the turkey, cut it in 5 different colors to get the little layers. American Traditional paper for the background.....little polka dots are DCWV. I had a brand new Fiskars circle punch so of course, I had to use it! Fall is a Sweetwater Chipboard. Brown sheer ribbon/bow at the top, but it doesn't show up too well. I kind of like this card!!

I decided I liked this card enough I would make another version.........plaid this time. Used DCWV paper from the Fall Stack.
