Creek Princess Cards & Crafts

Wow I didn't realize it had been so long since I last posted. I've been extremely busy lately. Here is a card I did tonight for an anniversary. I won't say who because I don't want them knowing it's for them until they see it in person. I'm pretty proud of it. I've had the idea in mind for awhile and finally got it down on paper. It was fun to make. Today, or I should say yesterday since it is after midnight, was my grandfather's 93rd birthday. I made him a cute card too but I finished it within minutes of having to leave for his birthday dinner so I didn't have time to scan it. Until next time!

I made a set of cards tonight using the Ward Cleaver stamp. I'm pretty pleased with it! I think it's my favorite I've done lately. But here are some other cards below it that I have done here recently as well! The printed paper is from the Manchester SU DSP. There more I work with it the more I love it! It really grows on you! Very retro style!

Yes it is almost 4:00 a.m. and I've been up working on creations. And this is what I did tonight and I am very proud of! At BCFC I am required to keep a log book of all my learning and activities for Jim to sign-off on for when I go to be licensed to care for exotic felines. Before I was just keeping a spiral notebook on it that had a kitten on the front, but it was starting to get a little ratty. I also needed a binder to put in all my other paperwork such as grant applications I complete, the newsletter I help head-up for them and also public handouts I create. So I got a binder where I could make my own cute cover and this is it! When I finished it I actually squealed and scared Dave to death! He looked at me to see what was going on! LOL! I couldn't fit the whole page on my scanner but you get the gist of it. It's got bobcat ribbon on the right side as well, so it's like a mirrored image. But I wuv it! I'll have the cutest log book ever! LOL The pi

Here is a card I made tonight for Jim's birthday. He is turning 65 next Sunday. He is my teacher and mentor at Bear Creek Feline Center where I get the absolute pleasure of working with exotic and endangered felines that are unable to live in the wild. But anyway I made the card for all of the interns and volunteers to signed and I'm pretty pleased with it. I tried to make the silhouette of a panther because his "baby" is a panther named Dani. She loves Jim to death. It is really neat to watch them hug and snuggle and interact. (See below for one of my favorite pics of them!) And I'm so glad I've gotten the rare opportunity to be inside the enclosure with them and experience Dani up close. It's amazing! Anyway, I used only whisper white and basic black to create the card and the Happy Birthday is from Voila! set. I also used the ticket corner punch. That has to be my favorite punch right now. I love to layer colors and get that effect that the

Well last night I had some creative fun with two sweet ladies, my friend Kim, and her good friend Theresa. They came over for my pretty informal open house since everyone else bailed on me! :oP But I'm glad these ladies showed and we still had a good time I think and they aided in getting me out of pending! YAY! Anyway, we came up with our designs each for a photo brag book (using cellophane bags for holding the pics). I got this idea from Aunt Cindy after she showed me her cute one she did for Jennifer for Mother's Day. I didn't think to take pictures of all of ours together and I wish I had. I liked their books too! Kim did one for her son Jacob in her favorite bright primary colors and shapes, and Theresa did one for her grandson Dakota in baby blue and burgundy with turtles. But here are pics of mine! Thanks again Aunt Cindy! *HUGS*

I made the card using the Stampin' Up Lucky Star embellishment sticker set. I like how it turned out and it was easy-peasy! I also made a matching gift card tin using the tin that the stickers came in.
