Owl Always Love You Card....

Here's another totally sweet card for those owl lovers.  The moment I saw this stamp from Craft Smart, I just couldn't wait to get them on a project.  I stamp it using my Marvy Uchida markers ang gave them some google eyes.  Oh, I just love it!  I used several stamps to create some background on the 3 strips and I am very happy with the result.  Used my Nestabilities to create and emboss the octagon shapes.  I just added a heart gem, some glitters and an aqua ribbon and this card came out amazing.

It is such a privilege to be able to do what I enjoy doing for my friends and family.  For four years now, I had been giving handmade cards during special occasions.  I thank the Lord Jesus for allowing me to use this talent to bless people and also to share His love to those who are seeking Him.   Lord, you're awesome!

Think the World of You Changito Card...

Oh, I know...Love is in the air and so, I have made this super sweet card from my favorite Changito Monkey from Stampendous.  I colored him with my Bic/Prismacolor markers, embossed with my Cuttlebug, border from MS punch, cut the scallop circle with my Nestabilities, sentiment inside the card from Stampendous and sentiment in front of the card from Art Warehouse.  To add some cool dimensions, used some ribbon and dew drops...I had fun making this and hope you like it too...

Loving this "Out of this world" theme cards.  I am glad I was able to put some time into making a couple  of cards this week even through my busy schedule...Hope I can craft all day but there are more important things to take care with especially sharing the love of Jesus to everyone who wishes to know Him, taking care of my family and then comes crafting!  Wishing there's more time in a day...Blessings to y'all!

Make a Wish Princess Charming Card...

I made this card a while back for a little girl who turned 4 years old...She had a Princess Themed Party and this card worked perfectly.  I was very satisfied at the outcome of this card as I would say, I didn't have a complete idea what I wanted to do with it when I began putting all the materials together.  Everything is just trial and error to see what works best  (that's what I do with all my cards anyway...LOL).  I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the base card (A2 size).  Then, I stamped the flower background (Stampendous) many times in order to achieve a continues pattern and so glad it came out good.  I actually colored my image before anything else and based it on the celebrants favorite color...purple!  The stamps (princess, castle and sentiments) are from Recollections and colored with my Bic/Sharpie/Prismacolor markers.  Ribbon, gems and some inking completed this charming card.

All Things are Possible-Flowers & Butterflies Card...

A friend of mine asked me to create a sympathy card that's encouraging and highlights a scripture message.  With the help of flower stamps (Autumn Leaves), butterfly stamps (Studio G), sentiment (Clear Art), border punch (Fiskars), a pre-cut card, and a wonderful stitch from my new sewing machine (I love it!),  this is what I came up with.  I decided to add some gems and make 2 similar cards with just a slight difference in gems and base cards.

Not a Card....But Sweet, Yummy Cake Pops!

Merry CHRISTmas Everyone!  Yes, it's my favorite time of the year...So many fond memories of my childhood coming back to me at this season.  Knowing the true meaning of this day  gave me a deeper meaning for living.  It's not all about the gifts, the nice clothes, the food, parties and meeting up with your family and friends that is most important...not even the crazy shopping that I enjoy a lot.  It's knowing that my Savior Jesus came to give me hope and love despite my rebellion and imperfections, He loves me!  And the good news is that He loves you too!  All we need to do is to make a decision to accept the gift He gave us for our salvation....Himself!

Anyway, I have sent handmade Christmas cards to all my friends but looking on giving goodies everyone will enjoy and I am happy to have come across Ms. Angie Dudley, author of the book  "Cake Pops."  I was trying to decide on whether to buy her book and had to see her video teaching how to make Cake Pops...Soon, I find myself paying for the book and went to the store to gather the ingredients I needed.  You can visit her website at www.bakerella.com to see loads of sweet projects...

Here is my 5 year old son modeling one of the very first Cake Pops I made...This is a magnet for kids...LOL

CAKE POPS: ALL WRAPPED UP AND TAGGED:

I used a clear wrap on each one, gave them a tag and a ribbon...My hubby was amazed when he saw this after he came home from work.  He's super impressed!  

 

JARED, NOTHING BUT LOVE FOR THE CAKE POPS:

He was very happy and proud to share these yummy treats to his friends at Church last Sunday.   

 

 JARED, CAKE POPS AND THE BOOK:

 DO YOU WANT ONE?....YOU GOT TO MAKE ONE!

Thanks a lot to Ms. Angie Dudley for sharing with us this very special treat.  I am not sure my husband likes you as he sees me now trying to buy some more materials to make other kinds of cake pops...He's bought me Cardmaking/Scrapbooking stuff and now, baking stuff!...LOL  Anyway, I will keep giving him treats so that he will just remember the taste and not the expenses...

To all my followers/viewers, wishing the best CHRISTMAS today and may the true meaning of this season become so real in your lives.  God bless! 

3 Birds CHRISTmas Card...

During this blessed Christmas season, we often meet up with our love ones, give them gifts and so many things that tradition taught us to do.  Some are necessary, others are not.  But when we know the "TRUE MEANING" of this season, it will change our motive and help us see the LOVE, FAITH AND HOPE that this season brings through the birth of JESUS.  I pray that each one of us find that the baby in the manger didn't stay as a baby but grew up to ultimately pay the price for our sins.  You are loved more than you think you are.  Other than being lost from all the hustle and bustle of this season, may this be a time to reflect on whose behind the word CHRISTMAS.  He is great and mighty to save.  God bless!

Anyway, I do have friends and family to remember this blessed season so, I made this card for them.  I think the 3 birds are so cute.  I colored them with my Prismacolor markers, glittered them with my stickles.  The embossing added a great feel to the card together with a wonderful sentiment on a circle/scallop die-cut.  I used my Nestabilities too, some gems and fancy ribbon.  Hope my friends like this...

A Little Cake Birthday Card...

 I'm back after many weeks...I've been creating Christmas cards to send to my family and friends and with the little time I have, it took me a while but I can say that I am done with those for now.  In between the Christmas cards, I am able to make this card for my step-daughter.  The stamp is from Studio G, one of the many stamps I have but never tried...I colored it with my Prismacolor markers.  With a little embossing, stickles (glitter), a cute sentiment and fancy ribbon, this card came about.  Hope you like it too.
