Baby Girl Card

Sweet Little Paige

 I made this baby card for my friend's first grandchild..I love the Graphic 45 image..It was so much fun adding the pretty little buttons and bow..Paige is spelled out in chipboard letters that I painted pink..I dotted the i with a cute little pink heart shaped pearl..

On the inside I hand lettered the poem, which I am not very good at..I love the poem and have for many years...I stamped the hearts in a very soft pink...Thanks for visiting my blog...Time to make Christmas cards now...............Kathy

Halloween Bats and Witch Ladies Cards

Eeeeeek!!!

 Happy Halloween!!!!   I Love this time of year..I made a couple of Halloween cards and really had fun with them..I took the fashion ladies and turned them into bat lovers...Added some fall leaves and a bat pumpkin..

The witch is tangled in a spider web and her pet bat, Boris, is ready to land on her shoulder..The spiders are creeping around on their web...I stretched out a gauze pad for the web...Hope you enjoy my creepy cards...Enjoy your Halloween and thanks for visiting my blog.....Kathy

50th Anniversary Card-Old Hollywood

The Happy Couple

 

Inside

I made this 50th anniversary card for my brother and sister in law..I was going for an Old Hollywood look and I think I got it...I just love this photo and it is so typical of Old Hollywood from the 1930's...I kept it simple beause I think the couple and the gold 50 tells the whole story..I just added a bit of paper lace and framed the photo with gold Dresden..On the inside I stamped the hearts in a very pale pink to add to the romance of the card..Hope you like it..

Time to start Halloween cards..Thank you for visiting my blog today...Happy Anniversary Don and Marsha....Kathy

Cheryl's Awesome Watercolor Painting

Time For Lunch by Cheryl M.

I am sharing with you today this beautiful watercolor painted by my daughter, Cheryl, when she was a senior in art school...Sadly, she passed away shortly after...The detail is amazing and the colors so perfect...I finally framed it and have it hanging in my kitchen where it has become the focal point of the room...

Cheryl was a gifted artist with an amazing talent in all areas of art...She was, also, the most beautiful person I have ever known...I think she would love having her art displayed on my blog...I hope you enjoy seeing a piece of her work and thanks so much for stopping by...Kathy

Love you and miss you so, my sweet girl...XOXO     Mom

Ice Cream Card

Yummy!!!

Front Of Ice Cream Lifted Up

Inside Card

I made this card for a little friend of mine who just turned 7..First I drew the ice cream on a stick on folded paper so it would open up...I cut it out and then used colored pencils to color it...I added ice cream cone stickers, red jewels for cherries on top, some paper lace and itsy bitsy buttons...I stamped the saying inside in blue ink...When the card is opened it says Happy birthday and I added a cute popsicle sticker in orange..

It was quite fun to make this card..Now I have to make a Christmas in July card...Thanks for stopping by my blog and I so appreciate your lovely comments...Kathy

By The Beautiful Sea

Come On In..The Water's Fine

Well, I had tons of fun making this birthday card for my friend Nancy...The lovely bathing beauty is from Pion Designs...I am in love with their beautiful papers...I used two different bluish-green polka dot papers in the background and behind the picture I added gauze to give the look of a fishing net...A few summery flowers, a sandcastle and starfish, some pearls and a few tiny, turquoise, gem stars finished off the card...I was going for a summery look of a day at the beach...Oh and I stamped the words and cut them out...

I have a summery tag to share soon, also, but I'll wait until my swap partner, Diann, in my OCT art group receives it before I post it...Other goodies coming soon, too...I'm in a very creative mood and lovin' it...Thanks so much for popping in today...It's always so good to see you.......Hope everyone is having a nice summer...I'm loving our cool temps but I'm sure we will be sweltering soon...I'm not a fan of the heat..............Kathy
