Here are a few more cards using the new Topstitch Level 2 paper and Acrylic stamp sets- Embrace Life ( C1391) and You are Beautiful (C1352)

I also wanted to make a Card Holder for all the different card, so here is what I came up with.

Again , I wanted to use the new paper Topstitch . I used the My Acrylix Organizer (Z1038)

The measurements are as follows: Front, 2 sides, back 4" X6". Top 5 1/2" X 2 1/2". Use the corner rounder on all pieces. For the brown on the front I used a large rectangular nestibilities, but you could cut brown at 5 1/2" x 2 3/4" I cut C A R D S on the cricut using Storybook at 1 1/2". The blue pc on top of the brown is 5 1/4" x 2 1/2". For the lettering you could use alphabet stamps, stickers or hand write Cards. I added a bow and a flower with a brad that I had on hand on the front, and various ribbons on top.

For the divider I cust 6" x 6" cardstock and a nestibilities circle that was folded in halve and various stamps for the different occasions. You could also use punches . You don't have to limit yourself to circles.

The new Idea Spring 2010 Idea Book from Close to my Heart just came out and I've been busy using the new Acylic Stamp sets and the newly released Level 2 paper packet called Topstitch .

This card I used Ms.Chillin' (D1404), Beautiful from State of Mind(D1416)and for the single flower I used You are Beautiful (C1352)

Im going to start out the New Year right by trying to post the artwork I have been working on a regular basis. Today I made a card with the You are Beatiful stamp set. I also used the paper and stamp set from the Felocity collection.

I stamped the image on the paper and then stamped again and cut them out and pop dotted them on to give some dimension.

I also made a little calender that I will post pics and directions in my next post.

I finally decided today to get more organized. Well I said this before, but what I really need to get done is my usernames and passwords together .

I will have to make some sort of organizer this week just for this purpose and get them in one place.

Today I created a couple of birthday cards using the CLOSE TO MY HEART - Bella Level 2 paper packet.

It is hard to see here but I used the Liquid Glass (Z679) on the designer paper and it gives the area a wet look. Have a great and creative day.

Well, I got my new computer and I hopefully will blog alot more now that it won't be 45 min to get onto the site.

Mothers day was a chance to use the new SOTM for May......'Be Yourself"

The lite pink images were embossed and I shaded the edges with baby pink. The black stamped image is also embossed. I used the alphabet stickease stickers from the Sweet Pea Collection. On the inside I used another one of the stickers, and I cut out the little girl from the Family Ties - Children (C1345) set.

This is the March Word Puzzle. I colored the flower and leaves with markers. The edge was done using a corner rounder. The twill tape was colored with the stamp pad that coordinated with the markers. Then I used brads in the twill tape.

I really must post more than once a month.

I need to learn how to to get around this blogger page andnot take all night posting a picture.

I have alot of ideas, tips and pictures I want to post, and I will do some pictures today........

The first picture is using paper from the Sweet Pea collection, and the SOTM from January. The bow and the clear bubble (used on the birtday recipient's birthday) add interest to card.
