7+ Years' Worth of a Mere Alien's Creations!
Here’s how you can make an adequate birthday card for a 6-year-old girl in 15 minutes or less, using stuff you already have on hand.
Grab your DCWV Pocket Full of Posies 4.5″x6.5″ matstack, which you bought over a year ago and just HAD to have because some of the papers are glittered but you haven’t [...]
I was looking through cyberspace at Julee’s blog and found this awesome card she made, you should really see it. Something about it spoke to me, then I started looking through my BasicGrey paper, and WHAMMO bammo, Phoebe cried out to me. I decided on the StampingBella “feeling groovy” sentiment because I think a chick [...]
This is quite a whimsical card that I made for a friend of mine whom I’ve known since I was but a wee girl back in Paonia (pay-OWN-yuh), Colorado! I sewed some extremely wonderful, shimmery KI Memories Surprise patterned paper embellished with some Stickles, matted with Bazzill Bling, Prima flowers embellished with K&Company and Creative Imaginations [...]
So my original idea for the sentiment didn’t come to fruition because there just wasn’t room on the card. Hopefully the end result here will grow on me enough to help me feel confident in sending this to Tina’s nephew, Nicholas. Again, this is a wonderful sketch from the ATS blog. I am so sorry to hear [...]
This is the card I made for Nicholas, Dakota’s brother…still praying for that family, hope you are too!! Sure hope Nicholas likes this! The Space Cadet (by Inque Boutique) robot was stamped on GinaK 120lb cardstock (still lovin’ it!), the left strip of paper is from Daisy Hill which is embossed with the AlienBug and [...]
Since the Stickles haven’t dried on the card I made for Dakota’s brother, Nicholas, I thought I’d post a few of the 17 Valentines that Taylan and I made for her class. That darned handwriting is SO cute, isn’t it?? She chose HK’s “clothes” from my scraps, she knew exactly who would get which Valentine, AND [...]
This is a card for a little girl, whose mom I’ve known since the third grade!! Through the ‘miracle’ that is Facebook, we’ve caught up again, and what a blessing to have her family back in my life!! Karla and I lost touch when we were both married to our less-than-favorable first husbands…funny, the tribulations [...]
This card is for Tina’s nephew, Dakota, who isn’t even a teenager yet but starts chemo on 2/16/09. TeamShively is prayin’ for ya, Dakota. This is basically a metaphor representing how Dakota would most likely prefer life before cancer came along. Hang in there, Dakota. I also need to make a card tomorrow for Dakota’s [...]
I didn’t want to post this before hubby received it since, yes, he does check out this blog =) And now I can officially say that he LOVED it!! He’s so cool, he loves every card I make, though he does have his favorites, which is fine! Anyway, late last night when I realized that [...]
Taylan adores her 1st grade teacher; she’s always telling us how much he loves her, and when we ask how she knows that, she replies, “Well, he teases me a LOT, and when someone teases you a little, that means they like you. When someone teases you a lot, that means they love you.” Can’t [...]
