I call this - Life Saver in the Sea of Bone Marrow!

I took the life saver as clipart from my computer. It fits perfect in this Nestability don't you think??? I typed the sentiment on my computer and added it. The bones are from an old TAC set and I gave them dimension with my Copics. Then I stamped "Marrow" with Simple Bet and embossed it. I added ribbon and pop-dotted the sentiment.

You just can't find this type of card in Hallmark!!

We are going to give it to her with a Cookie bouquet of "bone" cookies.

She is my hero!

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Here is another get well card that could be used for a male (or a female). Used the new Nestability stamp set with my nestabilities and the new sentiment set Savvy Sayings. I aged the nestability by inking the edges with brown ink and then pop-dotted the sentiment. I tied twine at the bottom of the card and also inked that with brown ink to age it. Added a few gems and viola!

All about the Bees

I made this card using the Level A Hostess Set again (Swirled Spring Life). I stamped them and colored the bodies with yellow copics. I then paper pieced them with vellum wings. The sentiment is from a Wittle Bug. I added black gems to the corners and matted on yellow and black.

This is the side view showing the 3D effect of the vellum wings.

Hope you have a BEE-utiful day!

I created this card with the new Level A hostess set called Swirled Spring Life. You can receive this set for free with an order or party totaling $100. I pop-dotted the body of the hummingbird for a 3D effect and stamped his wings on vellum. I colored the card with my copics and added gem stones to each flower that I also colored with my copics. This is a wonderful and easy card to put together.

Gather your friends together now so that you can order this fun set!!!

Homey

This cute little ATC uses the Welcome Home TAC Stamp set. I colored it with my Copics and then stamped and embossed the sentiment (also from the Welcome Home set). Matted it on black cardstock. Easy, simple, and elegant!

Thanks as always for stopping by!

Praying for Ewe

I love Mabelle's little sheep. And the best part of her sheep is that it is sooo lovely to flock them. You can kind of tell he is fuzzy in this photo. I used white fun flock on him. The rest of him is colored with Copics and then the sky and grass are sponged on with Palette ink. The sun was punched out and edged with black ink. The sentiment is also from the new Mabelle set and was stamped in black.

Beep Beep

I made these little cuties for an ATC swap. You were supposed to use a button. I think that I accomplished that task.

This uses one of the new sets by Mabelle. I colored him with Copics and then added a flower and the buttons. "Beep Beep" was from a retired set.

ENJOY!!!

Here Piggy Piggy ....

If you know me, you know me that some of my favorite stamps are pigs and dragonflies. I am a sucker for a cute pig stamp. So of course I had to get the TAC Vintage Set of the Month this month called Hogs and Kisses.

Here is may little rendition of this cutie. I used the hearts from the set to make the background paper. I stamped the pig three times and pop-dotted her head and snout and then colored the whole thing with my Copics. The wings were stamped on Vellum. Then I pieced the whole thing together.

The frame is a Nestability and the sentiments and hearts are accented with a little bling from my Stardust Gelly pen.

If you like this set be sure to contact me soon to place an order .... it's just $9.75 with a $30 order ... because like Disney this set is only available for a limited time and then it goes back in the TAC vault!!!

Thinking of You

I am sooo excited that TAC is starting to carry Nestabilities!!! The frame above was made using the new set from TAC. The sentiment is also from one of the new sets.

I made the background with my scorepal and scorebug. I scored it in diagonals to create the argyle pattern. I added ribbon and gems and viola.

I made this card for my boss ... he is having a real rough time dealing with Cancer. He has had radiation and now he's doing chemo. It's really taking a tole on him and he is not expected back to work until at least April 1st. I really like my boss and this is tough time for me too in this interim period. I just hope he beats this and gets better soon!

I am not sure that the above card is manly ... I tried ... I have such a hard time with that. I know he'll appreciate it though ... he really likes my cards.

Thank You Scene

Starting this month and running through March, TAC is offering some speical sets at some GREAT prices. This set is called Brighten Girl and it can be yours for $2.95 with any $30 purchase.

I used all of the stamos in the set for this. I stamped the girl's head twice and pop-dotted it. I colored the card with my Copics and added a little ribbon and gems to finish it off.

Enjoy ... and snap up these sets with your next purchase!

New Spring TAC Magalogue

My copies should be here this week ... if you'd like a copy please contact me for all of the details!

A lot of you have commented on how great my coloring was with the sneak peeks ... and I thank you for that. I truly believe that I could not color that well without my dear friends (my Copic markers). I have truly fallen in love with these.

You might have shyed away from them. You might have said oh they are too much money. And yes .. I too was with you ... but these markers are worth every penny!!! They are refillable ... they will never dry up (as long as you purchase the refills). And as far as getting to know how to use them ... take a class at your local LSS or watch some YouTube videos and just PLAY!!! These new TAC stamps are the perfect ones to "play" with.

Oh Hoppy Day

Well for you it might or might not be a "Hoppy Day". Today looks to be my last day of TAC Sneak Peeks. I hope you enjoyed seeing these as much as I enjoyed creating these for you.

This ATC uses one of the new Mabelle sets .... I love this little frog guy! I colored him with Copics and added little gems to his crown. The sentiment is from a retired set that I changed "happy" to "hoppy".

Thanks again for visiting my site ... the new catty should be out soon and you can begin ordering it on February 1st. If you'd like to receive your own copy of the new Spring Magalogue email me with your address and I will give you all of the details.

Enjoy!!!!

Here is yet another image from the new set called Wonder and Joy. I colored her with my Copics. I cut out her legs separately and pop-dotted hem to make them look 3-D. I added this sentiment from the English Cuties. I used a Nestability for the mat. (Did I mention how excited that TAC will soon be selling Nestabilities!!!) I added a few prima flowers, gems (that I colored with my Copics), and a pink ribbon.

I love, love, love these new guys .... so much fun to color!

Enjoy ...... more tomorrow .......

Wonder and Joy

This is another image from the new set called Wonder and Joy. I colored him with my Copics. These sentiments are also from this set. I added patterned paper and pop-dotted the bottom sentiment. I added a few gems that I also colored with my Copics.

I love these new guys .... so much fun to color!

Enjoy ...... more tomorrow .......

The other day when I posted this car with the dog in it I got a comment from my friend Kerry saying that this would be a great set to put other people driving.

So I got my TAC catty out and scoured through it to see who would fit the best ... and viola - the cow from An Udder Birthday.

The sentiment is also from the new Fun in a Bug set. I colored this bug yellow and still pop-dotted the fenders and added gems to the wheels.

I love this .... what a great idea! Thanks Kerry!!!

Enjoy .... more tomorrow!!!

Hello!

This card is using the new TAC set called Hello for all seasons ... and I love how versatile this set is (see below)!!! There are lots of images to use throughout the year!

I colored this with Copics (I love how vibrant this looks with these markers!) and matted on black rectangles. I pop-dotted the main rectangle and I added a few rhinestones which I also colored with my copics! Viola ... simple and sweet!

Enjoy .... more tomorrow!!!

Driving By

I am just realizing that there sure seems to be a lot of "cars" with all of these new TAC stamp sets. This card is using the new TAC set called English Cuties ... and I love this little mouse!!! I used the sentiments from the Bug of Fun set.

I wanted to use red and white patterned paper but didn't like anything in my stash ... so I made this with Cuttlebug's Swiss Dots embossing folder and then sanded all of the dots to make them white from the white core. I colored this with Copics, matted on rectangles, and pop dotted the top one. I added a few black gems and Viola!

Enjoy .... more tomorrow!!!

Got Your Back

This card is using the new TAC set called English Cuties ... and oh how cute are THEY???!!! I had this sentiment from a retired set a few years back. I love it with this image! It's a fun fun set.

I colored these with Copics and matted on scalloped rectangles. I added a few rhinestones which I also colored with my copics and viola!

Enjoy .... more tomorrow!!!
