Friends thru thick and thin

This was going to be my original Jeannie/Vicki raindrop challenge card. I actually had this one made and everything until I was laying in bed the night before we were going to post and the Gene Kelly, singing in the rain card hit me like a ton of bricks. I new then that I had to make that card. Of course, I really wish these ideas would come to me some other time except 11pm at night....Especially when I get up at 5:30am every morning...anyway, the sacrafices we make for our cards...lol...I hope you enjoy this card. I really did have a lot of fun making it. I was going for a friends thru thick and thin together theme. I know that most times you and your best friend are as different as cat and mice but the combination really works. I hope you enjoy it and thank you so much for your comments. They sure make my heart smile.....

Pooh and friends - Vicki's take

Yea!, Jeannie and I got our challenge in this week. While we were trying to figure out what we were going to do for our challenge this week Jeannie looked on her calendar and noticed that August was National Pooh friends month. So of course we decided to do a pooh card. I have to tell you guys I struggled with this card. I knew right from the start what I wanted to do on the inside of the card. I knew I had to use this Winnie the Pooh quote....It was a must. Now all I had to do was build a card around a quote. That should be easy enough....wrong....I couldn't figure it out at all until last night. I sat down at my craft table and looked at the Pooh quote and the card just came to me. I hope you like the end result. I am pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Pooh and Friends- Pooh cut out at 3" twice in black on shadow and once on regular cut in the pooh color. I used glue dots to pop him off the card. The butterfly is also from Pooh cut at 1" twice. I glued the butterfly together just in the center so it would look like it was flying. The catepillar was cut at 3/4". I had to use a catepillar so it would relate to the butterfly.

Beyond Birthdays- Hello Friend cut at 2"

Plantin Schoolbook- scallop along the edge cut at 1" and I trimmed off one hump.

Zooballoo- grass cut at 2" on regular cut for the back of the grass and then on shift lowercase for the shorter grass.

The flowers are a punch and I added brown stickles to the center of the flowers and inked the whole card.

I love you card

This is another Jeannie/Vicki challenge card. I believe this turned out to be one of my favorite cards that I have done to date. I just love the hefalumps and woozles stories with Pooh anyway. Jeannie and I decided to make a card using Lumpy the hefalump from Pooh and Friends. We also decided to use a love you theme. I used the I love you more and Jeannie used the I'll love you forever. I came up with my I love you more because when my son was small he used to tell me I love you and I would say I love you more and he would say, no I love you more... and so on. I thought it worked great with this card.

Lumpy was cute out at 3" several times and layered. I also cut the butterfly out from Pooh and friends and put it on lumpy's trunk. The grass is Zooballoo and the flowers are George. I love the flowers from George especially when they are layered so many times. The flowers on the inside of the card are also pooh and friends. I almost forgot the clouds are also from Pooh and Friends.

Thank you Jeannie for wanting to do Challenges with me!

I hope you enjoy

Baby cards

Here are a few more baby cards that I have made. The first one is the giraffe from New addition. I cut is at 2 3/4", Little one is also from New addition cut at 2" and then I added ribbon.

The purple elephant is also from New addition. I cut it at 3" and the butterfly is from Pooh and Friends cut at 3/4". I added ribbon to the corners and cut the george flowers out and layered them several times and put them on the ribbon. I added flat diamond beads to the ribbons. I drew the face on by hand.

The last one uses the giraffe from Animal Kingdom. I cut it at 3" and the branch is from Zooballoo. I inked the leaves and the sentiment is computer generated. I added ribbon to the corners of this one as well. I hope you enjoy them.
