Hello again! A "long" get well card

HELLO BLOG FRIENDS!

It's been a very long time since I've blogged.  You know how life gets in the way of things, and we have certainly had a year of unexpected events.  Taking care of those things has been our main focus, so blogging has fallen by the wayside.

I was sitting at the computer this morning and went through a few pictures.  This little guy caught my eye.  I haven't posted him, so here he is.

Now you get the "Long" get well.  LOL  He's just the cutest thing.  I used some scrapbook pet paper from my paper stash, then colored the little guy with Copics.  Circle punched the sentiment, stamped a few doggie paws on the side and it's done.

I can't say when I'll be back, but did want to say hello to you all.  I hope you're all doing well.

Thanks for stopping by!  I've missed keeping in touch.

Big Hugs,

Geri xo

HAPPY EASTER!

First Prize Card at the Albuquerque Rubber Stamp Convention!

Hi Friends!

I wanted to share a card I made that won First Prize at the Albuquerque Rubber Stamp Convention!  I was soooooo excited to win.  The image is by Art Impressions.  The topic of the contest I won was "Vacation."  There were two topics, and the other one was Wishing Well.  I didn't have any wishing well stamps, but I had bought the Pack Your Bags vacation set a while ago.  It was perfect for the contest.  I colored the images with Copics, and used some of my glittery chevron paper for the background.  I die cut the leaves and added them to the corner.  My sweet friend Tracy MacDonald was my inspiration for this card.  Thank you Tracy!

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll be back with another card soon!

Hugs,

Geri

Squirmy Squigilly Little Guy

Hello Bloggers!

Today's card is a cute little squirmy squiggly Octopus stamp I'd been wanting to use.  I have a sweet friend who loves Octopus images.  

Colored with Copic markers.  I used a swirly embossing folder for the background.  I think the swirly design is an embossing folder by Stampin Up.  

I added some crystal iridescent sequins to the card to finish it off.  You can barely see his eyes...but they are a cool shade of yellow.

                Thanks for stopping by to visit.  

                Hugs, Geri

More Valentine's Day ......

Happy Weekend Friends!

Here's another Valentine's Day card I made....with some input from Pinterest!  :o)   


I used a Tim Holtz heart die, and Sizzix leaves die.  The little hearts are from some old punches I have.  The bird is a Magenta stamp.  The random teeny  dots are made with a stubby stick stamp by Judith.   I punched the flowers out and dotted the centers with Liquid Pearls in yellow.  I wanted to make a card in something other than the traditional red and white theme.  I was happy with the way it turned out.  I tied a black twine bow and attached it to the bouquet to finish it off.

Thanks for stopping by to visit.  I'll be back with another Valentine card to share.

Hugs, Geri

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Happy Valentine's Day Friends!


Here's my Valentine card for this year....one of my favorite holidays.  I embossed the cranberry background with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, and glued it on a kraft colored card.  Punched out some glittery hearts, and used red and white twine to wrap around the embossed hearts.  I punched out a bigger pink glitter heart to tuck inside the tiny envelope.  Luckily, I found a teeny tiny punch to glue a red heart onto the envelope.  Distressed the envelope and sentiment with TH Vintage Photo ink.  Added tiny hearts to the sentiment.  The last step was to add the little clothespin to attach the envelope to the wrapped twine.  

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a very Happy Valentine's Day!

Hugs, Geri  

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY BY SHARALYNN

Hello Friends!

I have some Valentine cards to share with you.  This card was designed by Sharalynn.  I belong to a group of stampers and we make cards together.  I got to make this card with Sharalynn's design.
Thanks Sharalynn!  

It was fun to make, and I forgot to ask about the cool die she used in her kits.  I really like the swirl.

It was a quick card to put together and it made a very nice Valentine's Day card. 

Thanks for stopping by.  I'll be back with another card.

Hugs, Geri
