Snag this Mother's Day Card front for FREE

Good afternoon,

I'm on a roll!  My third post for today is a Mother's Day Card, completely snagable.

I made this a couple of days ago, and meant to post it sooner.  But there's still time to grab this picture and use if for the front of your Mother's Day, if you're into making your own.  The colors are incredible!

I plan to print a couple of these out smaller and make my cards.  The frame is a pink, so I will layer it onto a darker base and have several bases for the front.

If you print them, and make your cards today, you can get them in the mail tomorrow with plenty of time to arrive by next Sunday!

Have a great week, and I hope to post something new tomorrow, before heading off to work.

I'm presently making a huge kit to use, and some of the items will be offered here for free, in png format.

Till then, enjoy the rest of your weekend.  I'm off to do the same!

Decorate a card today!

 

Good morning,

 

This morning, I made a card front for a friend.

That's an old picture of me.

I believe I was about thirty-something.

Probably late 30's.

 

I like the card front on black.

 

 

Here is a png of the front card.

You chose the picture to put in it.

Here are some additional flowers I made

to go along with decorating the

rest of your card.

 

 

Unfortunately, I am still having trouble

getting my blogger to post my words

against the left edge.

 

The background paper is a seamless

background I made for this card.

 

And here is another border flower, and

three additional flowers to decorate

with.

 

Enjoy.

 

Have a wonderful Sunday.

 

Cj

 

P.S.  It is another beautiful Sunday in

my city.  Yesterday was the same.

 

We are expecting frigid temps very soon.

I believe it's coming in either tomorrow

or Tuesday.

 

I am off tomorrow.

I work at home on Tuesday and Wednesday,

so I won't be dreading it til Thursday.

I'll be bundling up!

Paper and Sculpey Christmas Ornament and a Get Well Card

Good Saturday morning,

Trials and tributions today.  With my computer ... it's driving me crazy.  I'll pull up a picture to edit it as they are usually too dark.  And boom!  Down my computer goes without any warning.  That is puzzling to me, as I just bought a brand new computer this year.

Thank heavens my husband is a techie, and he comes up (from his cave, downstairs), and looks it over.  I'm hoping it's fixed now.

It started a few weeks ago, but today, it will let me work about an hour, and then down it goes.

My husband thinks he's got the problem fixed.

It looks like blogger posted my items out of order.  It figures.  (I hope my whole day is NOT going to be like this.)

The first creation today is a card I made yesterday.  It's going to be a get well card for a friend that just underwent surgery.  It in all black and white.  The backing behind the quilled flower looks gray in this picture, but that's because it has shine to it.  It's actually much more black.

I like all black and white cards, as well as many of my sculpeys.  This picture shows two of my heart sculpeys.  I love to do hearts.

I made all the paper for this creation and all the designs I've used on it so far.  It is an unfinished project right now, but will be done very soon.

In an earlier post, when I first started out this morning, I mentioned I'd made an ornament.  Here is a picture showing it.

It started with two flower designs under the heart that is showing.  I cut out two and glued them together, leaving room to sneak a little stuffing inside.  This caused it to bulk up and then I finished gluing it together.

I then punched a hole in the bottom and strung some yarn through it and tied it.  I glue along the edges and pressed the yarn along till I got to the top.  I let it dry and tied it .  I made a bow and loop for hanging on the tree.  And then, I tied it off.

I put a pearl string/glued again/around the sculpey heart.  At the top, I wounds some yarn in a circular fashion to decorate the heart.  The heart has a quilled circle under it, which is glued to a red paper base.  Another quilled circle attaches it to the ornament.  This gives it lot of dimension.

And that is the front.

Here is a close up of the sculpey heart on the front.

This is the back of the card.  I did not make the sticker, but layered it onto a white card stock base, used a quilling circle to give it dimension underneath, and glued that to another red paper card.  Another quilling circle is underneath that.  When you look it it from the sides, you can see how it spreads out.

This was supposed to be the FIRST picture of my get well card.  Alas, it is the last.  Oh well.

It is not finished yet, but thought I'd post it, as it was one of my creations yesterday.  I'm waiting for my muse to help me finish it.

Have a great day!

2012 Christmas Card for work, and free pngs for you!

Good Friday morning,

Yesterday, I gave out my Christmas cards at work.  The png graphic above is all of the elements together.  This is the front of the card, and was put on a piece of larger card stock that I inked around.

This is just the png graphic girl.  Her hat is a little reindeer hat that I created.  Yes, she is unusual, but I like unusual.

This is the little png graphic mouse that I added to the front of the card.  He was made several years ago.

This is "funky" reindeer, and he was made last year, I think.  He's holding a little flower in his hand.

This is how the inside of my card looked, when all put together.  This was also put on larger card stock, and inked around.

And finally, the tree.  If I'd had time, I was going to write diagonally, like garland, on the tree.  Maybe Christmas words, like joy, peace, and love.  Or Jesus, savior, love, for a more religious-style meaning.

After all, the reason for the season, is Jesus.

Unfortunately, when I got ready to print out my graphics to assemble, my printer was down.  I've been having a lot of trouble with it going off-line.  It would print one graphic, and then it would go off-line.  This time, it just didn't want to go back online.

Since I've been having trouble with it for awhile, I had purchased an HP Officejet 4622 about a month ago.  It's been sitting in my granddaughters room, waiting for me to use up all the ink from my old printer.  Alas, I was not able to use it all up, but it was almost empty.

So my dear husband, installed my new printer.  I like it because I can buy my ink cartridges separately, and I checked before buying this printer, to see how much those ink cartridges were going to cost me each time.  They are cheaper, and it will be easier to fit in my budget, as I will only need to buy whichever color is low.  I like that. I usually try to keep one set on hand, in case I run low when doing a project.

Our Christmas party is today.  I am going in a little later this morning, and I have my white elephant gifts ready to go.  I crocheted a slip-in type rectangle cover and slipped a little journal inside.  I'll post pictures of that in another post.  I tied little handmade, crocheted flowers to the top, in case the receipant wanted to remove them.

I have a box of candy to go with it, and I'll try to come up with some original decoration for it.

I hope you all are enjoying your parties!

Have a terrific day!

Card-U R So Invited!

Good morning,

The card for today is: U R So Invited! I still have a lot of MY favorite black and white, but with a burst of color mixed in.

Reading tidbit for today:
As we get older, we tend to get arthritis in our joints. I know this to be true personally.

70% of us can supposedly get relief, just by eating 20 gin-soaked GOLDEN raisins every day for one month; and then just 9 every day after that! Wow! Sounds yummy to me! And fairly easy. Just remember to prepare your raisins ahead of time and store them an air-tight container in the fridge.

Pour gin to just cover raisins. Let soak till the gin evaporates (several weeks), and store.

You can find this tip in Woman's World, 9/12/11, page 16: NATURAL HEALTH-No more aches and pains! Read it ... to learn more!

Have a great day!

More free scrapbooking graphics

Good morning, again.

I find weekends to be the best time for me to post, as I have more free time then. But, I'm trying to get you caught up on everything that's over at my website since I last posted.

This first item is a Bow Frame or Journal Box. It would fit well on a girl baby birth announcement card! It's posted on 7/15/11.



This second art graphic is called Flower Frame, posted on 7/16/11. I love the design of it. What do you think?

And again last ... there always has to be a last -- but not least, is one of my characters from a series I call "Poor Baby". This one is 11-0716-12b. I used him on a birthday card for my daughter-in-law, Kathy, whose birthday is TODAY! Happy birthday, Kathy! (I'll feature the card in the next post, along with a picture of her birthday gift that I made just for her. She's such a striking gal!)

I will feature several other Poor Babies over the next few days.

Hope you'll have a wonderful day today!

Today, I've created this card for you. It is free to use as you please.

Be Mine, Valentine!

Good morning,

Only 2 more days till Valentine's Day; not counting today, of course.

Be mine, valentine! is the creation for today. If you'd like to use it for the front of a card, that's okay.

The flower is another of a million kalei's I like to create. I am always amazed at how varied they can be.

Be mine, and ONLY mine! is a phrase you could write on the back.

Hope you are making big plans for your sweetie this Valentine's Day.

Have a great day.

See you soon.
