You're 1...

I made this adorable card for the Belli Challenge this week where we had to put a number on our card! I used an image from Karen's Doodles called "Penguin Cupcake" which I colored with Copic Markers. My designer paper is from the Paper Studio and I computer generated my sentiment. I finished the card off with star buttons and pearls.

Scarecrow...

Here's a cute card I created using an image I got from Free Digital Stamps blog. I colored the Scarecrow image with Copic markers, then used Ranger's Distress Ink "Antique Linen" to soften the background. My designer paper is from the Fall Stack by K & Company! My sentiment is from Inkadinkado and my punched strip is from Martha Stewart. I finished the card with floral brads.

For Julie...

I created this card for my sister's friend who has now become my friend as well! We do craft classes together and spend more time laughing than anything else. Here's your card, Julie, so stop whining!

 

 My designer paper is from My Mind's Eye, and my image is from a new Halloween stamp set by Inkadinkado.  I used the newest Spellbinders Labels 16 on my image, then colored with Copic Markers! I finished the card with ribbon and pearls!
