Happy HP Birthday Andrea!!!

My teammate Andrea loves Harry Potter.  My hubs found a template online for me to make her this birthday card.  Unfortunately I don't know where he found it to give credit, sorry!!!

 I started by cutting out the hair and lightening bolt from the template and tracing them on the backside of the card stock.  For the glassed I used spellbinder circles in two sizes together to get the thin circles.  I cut a small strip for the frames and stuck the circles to it then trimmed the pieces away in the middle of the circles.  I pieced the scarf together on a strip of card stock to give it slight dimension and it was a bit easier to put on the card.  I also used pop dots for the hair for dimension.  The card stock I used was Very Vanilla for my base, black, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Dann's the Man...

I made this thank you card for my teammate Dann.  He let me borrow one of his team jersey's (we have a black and white version) so I could match the rest of the gals I was riding with during the Triple Crown Challenge over Easter weekend.  

I wanted to keep the card clean and simple.  I had bought this Gina K. Designs set Lil Tees a long time ago from a friend and finally used it for the fist time.  Although it's not a cycling jersey, I thought it was perfect for my card.  I stamped the shirt in memento and the sentiment in Brilliant Blue and Green Galore.  Neenah base card run through the cuttlebug.  Black cardstock and Green Galore Chevron Stripes from My Favorite things...I tried to made it look like a road using our team colors.

Me and Dann...only two that showed up for a team ride.
He's wondering where everyone is, ha!

Happy Birthday Kate!!!

I'm slightly behind with my posting.  I got hit really hard with the flu for 2 1/2 weeks and ended up in the ER via ambulance.  Lost 10 lbs in 5 days...I've never been so sick in my life, ack!  Anyhow, I made this for my amazing teammate, Kate.  She likes dinosaurs.

 I started off by coloring the dinosaur from the retired set Little Loveosaurus from My Favorite Things in Black Licorice on Neenah, coloring with Copics.  I fussy cut it out and used foam dots for dimension.  American Crafts Margarita Merengue, Very Vanilla, and Pacific Point cardstock.  SU Square punch for the tag.  I used SC748 for my layout.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

You Mean the World to Me...

I made these for two amazing women in my life- Carolyn and Amy.  They are such wonderful teammates that helped me achieve so much during the Triple Crown Challenge.  I honestly can't thank them enough for getting me through the three days of mountain climbing.

 I used Sahara Sand for my base.  Basic Grey Urban Praire and Very Vanilla card stock.  I used the retired set ALM You Mean the World to Me from My Favorite Things for the sentiment and the world.  I colored the world with copics then fussy cut it out from the other part of the image, using foam dots for dimension.  Denami Design Ribbon, SU Linen Thread.

 Carolyn and Me, Mt. Graham
