Pink Panther Feel Better Card

I made this for my daughter, Kiara.  She wasn't feeling very well so I thought I'd slip this in her lunchbox today.  She's all about the Pink Panther right now, so hopefully, that would put a smile to her face.

Papers - DCWV

My Sheri Crafts #79

Warm Wishes

The theme this week over at My Sheri Crafts is all about sending warm thoughts to friends and family.

This is a card I made for my dad.  He lives in New Jersey and he usually has snow around this time of the year and I live 30 minutes from the beach in sunny Florida :)

I wanted to make it fun and whimsical since I'm including my daughters' school pictures along with it.

Jingle Belles - February 10th

All Buttoned-Up

This is my first card entry to the Jingle Belles challenge.  This site encourages you to create a Christmas card all throughout the year so that you're not left rushing to make them all in December.  It's a great site and full of talented people.   Really a great inspiration!

This week's theme is all about buttons!  We could use buttons, brads, and eyelets.  I used a total of only 5 buttons and 1 eyelet.  I should have used more!

 

Card size - 4.25" x 5.5" x .50"

Papers - DCWV (red panel) / JoAnn's (polka dot Christmas print)

Border punch - Fiskars

Sentiment is a stamp and colored with glitter gel pen

Swirl on center button was painted with Distress Stickles

Tag - made with Memory Maker Tag Maker

My friends over at RAQ's Card Sketch Challenge told me about this site and I've been meaning to join but the button theme finally hooked me in... I got tons of those
