My granddaughters castle

Anyone that knows me knows that I ADORE all of my grandbabies and do my best to showcase them in my creations. I had this castle for sometime now but was waiting for the perfect pictures which were taken on my bday. Isn't she a cutie???? She is most definately my princess.

dedicated to Joe Nathan

I loved this stamp from the first time I saw it when someone used it on a Technique Junkies technique. I had to have it so I ordered it from lasting impressions with panache. I am dedicating this piece to Joe Nathan who is extremely talented in designing scenes (especially lighthouse scenes) mainly with rubber stamps. I have learned a lot from just looking at his artwork. Looking at his work inspired this design.

I love masking and am kind of proud of this design. It incorporated six different stamps. This is my first attempt at creating scenes but certainly not my last. Coloring was done with PanPastels which is by far now my favorite way to color. I had worked on it fora couple of l hours and was getting pretty tired when I realized that I placed the birds in flight exactly where I had planned on putting the always and forever!! OOOPPPSSS! Oh well Plan B! Of course I had to play around in Photoshop so the frame is completely digital but the picture is 100% authentic. Hope you enjoyed your visit!

I believe in Angels

I have a friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is having her breast removed in the next week so I wanted to make her something that would let her know that I am TOTALLY there for her. I do believe in angels so the theme of my wall art was easy.....I have a lot of angels stamps but tis one is one of my favorites. I got this stamps at http://www.lost-coast-designs.com/ and the saying at http://www.ibrakeforstamps.com. The saying reads...........
I believe in angels
Those helpers who are near
Exactly when you need them,
They seem to appear...
I know them when I see them,
Whatever their disguise
They're patient and encouraging
Respectful, kind and wise.....
Yes, I believe in angels
The kind that heaven sends,
And I 'm surrounded every day
By angels I call friends.

I didn't just want to make a card since they get put away I wanted something that she could see often, do you think I succeeded???

A fantasy bday!! He deserves it......

I made this card as a RAK for Dannie Graves brother who is serving his THIRD duty in our service to protect our country. He is now in Afghanistan after serving two duties in Iraq. She requested that we make him bday cards and I was more than happy to. I was elated, I had posted this rak on several of my yahoo groups and much to my amazement I was contacted by a very great person (I had NO IDEA until tonight that is was DUCKY who is extremely famous on my klic n kut group)who ended up adopting him which means that they send him movies, cd's, etc every couple of weeks. Now that is a true RAK!! I wanted to make the card a little bit sexy so I hope I suceeded. What do you think????

Mermaid, seaplant, and Fantasy stamp came from...http://www.heartsintouch.com

Patricia's Card

I entered this card into my first challenge. The challenge was to create a card influenced by the cover of the cd that was in your player. I always have the Dixie Chicks in my player so that part was easy. It was fun to create, I hope you enjoy. Leave comments but only if you love it!! hahaha
