I LOVE sunshine.....

We're on vacation this week, so no card-making for me. I didn't even bring my supplies with me. We're just soaking up the sun instead.  :)  Thanks for stopping by. 

St. Jude Card Drive

Winter Sims is having a card drive for the kids at St. Jude's hospital.  See the details here. I made several cards using the Hero Arts heart template from Shari on the HA blog. I stamped several different backgrounds, but made all the cards with the same basic design.

And here's how my workspace looked in the midst of the creative process.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!

supplies: HA stamps: antique brocade, design block dots and flowers, clear design thinking of you, American Crafts ribbon, Making Memories mini staples, Martha Stewart heart punch, Fiskars punches.

Sending Hugs...

I created these two cards with the Hero Arts "You're the Best" stamp set, along with some of their new cling stamps.  I colored the girls with prisma colored pencils. I also used Hero Arts shadow ink for the pink card.  Thanks for dropping by.

Monochromatic Bird....

I created this card for Lucy's monochromatic challenge and for the Hero Arts challenge this week. I love this new Valentine bird cling stamp set from Hero Arts. I embossed the wood circle in white and paper pieced the bird.

New stamps...in 2010!

Happy 2010!  I've had some time to play with my new stamps this weekend.  I created a couple different cards and I thought I'd share one of them. This is a new Hero Arts stamp set. Love this set. I don't have copic markers...yet :) so I just used my prisma colored pencils to color the girl. Thanks for stopping by!

supplies: Hero Arts CL410, CL140, AC ribbon, HA gems
