Bella birthday

Things have been busy. I 've had very little time to do much crafting at all, but I was able to sneak in a few cards I would like to share before I dive into my Christmas cards (I can't wait to get those started). This card was sent to my friend in September. Pretty basic design using Birthday bella stamp, DCWV paper, and some gold ribbon. I colored Bella with Tria markers and cut the image using Spellbinders. Thanks for stopping by and I hope to have more to show you soon. PS, Please show your respect for our veterans this Rememberence Day. Cheers, Tanya R.

My Mother's birthday

Hi,
I was away on holidays recently and missed my Mother's birthday, so I gave this to her when we returned. It took me awhile to punch all the holes in the butterfly images and then to stencil it, but I like how it turned out. I found the stencil in Edmonton along time ago and had never used it before. The die-cuts from Sizzix were cut on glitter paper, although it is hard to see on this picture. The papers I used were freebies from papercrafts inspiration (I think). I haven't been working in my craft room too much, but I hope I will have something to show you soon. Thanks for stopping by. Tanya R.

Another High Hopes Blog Hop

Hi everyone,

Sorry I have been away, but August is always a busy month for me. I do have some images I would like to share with you soon, but for right now I want to share the new release from High Hopes Rubber Stamps. I love their images and look forward to the blog hop on September 1st. Hope you can all join in for the fun. Cheers, Tanya R.

Good morning,

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I can't wait to go to the zoo tomorrow with my niece. I just hope the weather is good. I duplicated this card from a magazine. It caught my eye and I just had to try it. Mine is not as embellished as the one in the mag, but I did use the same paper. I also had to make my own candle with paper because I did not have a birthday candle in the house. I may have made it a little tall. I used flowersoft for the icing, and all the paper used is from DCWV. The sentiment is a sticker from Papercraft Inspirations magazine. I hope you like it, it was alot of fun to make and give. Thanks for stopping by. Tanya R.

Introducing Audrey

Hi Everyone,

I am pretty excited because I have just entered this card into my very first challenge at The Greeting Farm. I made this card for my friend's little girl, who is not so little anymore. I colored it using Tria markers on Tria paper. The message is an embossing folder from Crafts Too. Thanks for stopping by. Tanya R.

Welcome Eli!

Hi Everyone,

I have to admit that I have not been working in my craftroom too much these days. We finally have some sunshine, but most of all, I have injured my finger and it is now in a brace. The doctor's say that I should try to avoid using it. Considering it is my right index finger, that is not an easy task. So even now typing this is a challenge, but I wanted to still share some designs I have done recently. This one is to welcome my friend's little boy into the world. He is a cutie. I used a dreamweaver stencil for the carriage. I glued and glittered the de-bossed side. The background is a rubber stamp I picked up at Michael's awhile ago and the congratulations is embossed with white embossing powder. I have to start a card now for her baby shower and I hope to show that to you soon. Thanks for stopping by.
