Sisters and Friends!!!

Welcome Everyone;

Even though Spring is here, with some nice and sunny weather and you feel that everything is going well, and then something happens — totally out of nowhere to make life suck.

Such has been my world for the last couple of weeks.  Take the time to talk and spend time with all of your families — your own immediate family as well as your brothers and sisters, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins — anyone who fits that special niche called family.  You never know when an unexpected life event is going to happen.  I know that my sister who was a wife, mother, grandmother and aunt and I did not talk or visit everyday; but we were still there for each other.

For today’s post I have used Girlfriends from High Hopes Stamps.  This card is for everyone who has a sister that they cherish and miss.

Imagine…

Hi there OCS fans;

Well another week has come and gone, and it is time for my Friday post.  For today’s card I have used one of the adorable stamps from High Hopes StampsA Magical Day” release called Little Wizard.

I am in the process of reorganizing my craft room and now have the embossing folders in a basket sorted by vendor, instead of buried somewhere in a drawer..  I used the Splatter embossing folder from Taylor Expressions and inked it up with the Weathered Wood Distress Ink.

Magical Moments…

Welcome OCS Fans;

For today’s post, I have used the “Wizard in Training” from the High Hopes Stamps latest release called “A Magical Day“.   It would be nice if she could do some magic that would bring us some spring.

Today’s card is on the clean and simple side.  The two side panels were created by using the Vintage Border Hot Foil Stamp and the GoPress and Foil machine to foil them.  This machine can foil embossing folders as well as wafer thin dies.

Fast Eddie on the prowl……

Welcome back OCS fans!

Being that it is Easter and over the next few days, there will be plenty of Easter Egg hunts going on, I used this fun image from High Hopes Stamps called Fast Eddie.  He is definitely on the run for those eggs. This is a fairly clean and simple card.  Fast Eddie was coloured with Copic Markers, then cut out using the Spellbinders Standard Circle Die.  I used the Crystal Clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle Glitter Pen, to add some glitter to the basket.


As there is a banner of wording on the bottom part of the card, I added the Happy Easter sentiment to the inside of the card.
