Today my card features one of the Bugaboo Brats-Isabella at the beach.   I was hired to create 12 birthday invites with a beach theme and this is what I came up with for the sample to show her.  For the others I'm going to add some glitter and probably emboss the purple but the good thing is she liked them :)

For my second card I used the beautiful beach scene supplied by The Character Cafe.

Think Ink #25

This week your challenge is brought to you by DT Member, Marti Wills, and she wants you to:

-->Make your own background paper or use a special background technique.

I used a couple sets to make my card.   The swirls for my background is from the Sew You set and the ice cream is from the  Spot on Summer.  

I added a little glitter for the cherry and there you have a very cute and quick card.  This set would be perfect to use if you had to  make a quick set of cards.  I really love both of these sets :)

New release day at Bugaboo!!!

When I sat down to create this one, I had something already in mind.  Now that it's all finished I can honestly say it doesn't look like anything I had pictured it would.  So what do you do with a card  your not 100% satisfied with??? You post it for everyone to see LOL

With that all being said, Jodie has some awesome Turtles for you today so make sure you hop on over to store and pick a few or all them up =)

Let's Ink it up DT Call

For you card

I wanted to create a cute but masculine card so I pulled out my Motivet images and decided to use Eddie.  He just too cute and who can't resist a dog?? :)

He is colored in with my copics and the papers are from Piggy Tales.  The sentiment was cut out with my Cricut.  I was very happy when the darn machine didn't tear up my paper, I have been battling with that thing for a long time now.  I really think it's my paper...hum, I think it's time to go shopping LOL

Abby's card

Abby sat down with the other day and created this card.  She of course had to do everything herself (with the exception of using the trimmer) LOL  The butterfly image is from Bugaboo Stamps.

Superhero Card

This is another image that has been colored in for a while and I actually knew what I wanted to do but just haven't done it.  Well last night I had five hours to myself and was able to finally get the card done :)  I don't have a sentiment on it cause I thought it could customized to any occasion for a little boy.

This card was used in the Totally Stampalious challenge to use a touch of red

Tag Challenge at More Paper than Shoes

This isn't a new item but I liked it so much that I resurrected it for the More Paper than Shoes tag challenge.    The sock monkey image is from Bugaboo and the foam letter/number is from Close to My Heart.  I don't remember who the paper is from :(

Jodi's birthday candy

It's Jodi's birthday and she is giving away 5 different "candies".  You still have plenty of time to get your name in if you haven't,, so hop on over to blog and check out the goodies :)
