I'm Nuts about you --Birthday Card for my Husband

My husband as some of you may know is going through the Kentucky State Trooper academy. He's just finishing up week 7. He is gone from sunday-friday and he's only home for about 40 hours on the weekend. His birthday is this weekend, so I made him a little card. I used a digi freebie from Dustin Pike. You can snag it here. I created by own digital sentiment which you can download here if you like.

Butterfly Valentine's Card! + Word Art Freebie!

Well I'm sure you've been wondering where I've been! I slipped off to Florida for a couple of weeks for vacation. I was in Ft. Myers. It is much warmer down there than it is here in Kentucky! It is nice to be home though. I was having a crafting withdawl! Although I did find something to fill the void. I'll post about that tomorrow! I've been making bracelets!

Ok now to the card....I made this cute little valentine's card using the butterfly svg from the "Love is in the Air" SVG Set by Cocoa Studio. It's just $4.50 for 7 great valentine themed svgs! I was given the kit to test out and here is what I've made so far!

As for the cute little word art, you can download it here.

I used this sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

Now for my creations!

Each hop participant was invited to look back through the past 51 Twilight Tuesday challenges and pick one or more of those challenges as their personal choice for the hop. I decided to use challenge #38- The Honeymoon. I also used the sketch from Sketch and Stash.

When I think of Edward & Bella's honeymoon, I am reminded of the feathers that were strewn about the cottage. I just think it is hilarious that a housekeeping team would have to clean that up after a honeymoon. Also I love that Bella wakes up dazed and says: "Why am I covered in feathers?". Then Edwards replies "I bit a pillow...maybe two." (See below to download sentiment)

I also created this card for the same challenge. I used a free site called Wordle to create this word cloud, which you can download for free below!

As a bonus freebie, I've got the two Twilight Clouds that I created below for you to download free! You can also download the "Why Am I covered in Feathers?" word art here. Download Twilight Honeymoon Cloud

Twilight Inspiration Tuesday - Mary Alice Brandon (Cullen)

For today's Twilight Tuesday Inspiration Challenge, we were asked to create something that was inspired by Alice Cullen's former life (before she became a vampire). Back then, her name was Mary Alice Brandon. I decided to use the sketch from Spoon Full of Sugar. I found this lovely sketch of Alice through google. I love how her eyes are copper colored and the rest of the photo is black and white. It is hard to tell from these pics though. I chose the sentiment "eternally beautiful" because even before she was a vampire, she was beautiful, but after she became one, she was "eternally" beautiful. The lace was purchased at the thrift store! I got a ton of assorted colors for just a couple of dollars.

I created this lovely word art to go along with the card. You can download it here.

We are also supposed to talk about Alice's "gift" and whether we think it is a blessing or curse. This is very difficult to decide. I would have to say that in her situation it is definatly a blessing since it has gotten her and her family out of some very sticky situations many times. So to be able to foresee the future and potentially protect the ones that I love, I would say it is a blessing.

Unleash Your Inner Goddess!

Here is a card I created to go along with yesterday's challenge in 365 cards. The challenge was called "One, two, buckle my shoe..." We were supposed to create something with a shoe on it. I cut the high heel shoe out using SCAL and my Cricut. Stay tuned, it may be next Thursday's freebie! But for now, if you'd like to download the sentiment that I created as WordArt, you can get it here.

Masculine Fisherman Birthday Card

Here is a card that I created for my dad's birthday. He doesn't look as old as this guy does, but I thought it would be funny to give it to him anyways. I love the white t-shirt. It seems like old guys always wear white shirts with everything. I know my grandfather does. I created another word art image to go with this card. You can download it here.

The digital stamp is another image from Dustin Pike. I used a lighter to burn the edges to give it a rough look. Then I used some Tim Holtz distressing ink to rough up the card and sentiment a bit. This was also part of the challenge this week at Dare U 2 Digi Stamp.

A Hoppin' Card for Frog Lovers!

Here is a cute little froggie card that I made today. I just love hot pink and lime green together. I It gave this cute little frog a somewhat girlie look! The frog image is a digital stamp from Doodle Dragon Studios, designed by Dustin Pike. I created the cutsie little word art to go with the card using Ma Sexy Font. You can download the word art to create your own card here.

I used some bling and glitter on this card as well. That was the challenge for this week at Digital Tuesday.

Week 6 of the DIgi Freebie Search!

It's week 6 of the digi freebie search with the Lindsay's Stamp Stuff DT! Here is a card that I created for my SIL who is about to have a baby in a couple of days. I used Lindsay's Doodle Aster stamp. It is only $1.00!

This fabulous sentiment is word art that I snagged for free from Elegant Word Art by Bethany. I just found her blog the other day and I've spent a lot of time thumbing through it snagging a lot of her freebies. I'm still not through! She has tons of great sentiments arranged as word art that are great for cards and scrapbooking!

Once again, Lindsay has designed a special stamp for one of us on the design team. On Thursdays, one lucky DT member will have her special stamp available to download free for a whole week. Click on the links below to check out the cool Design Team Blogs and see who has the free stamp this week!
