You foxy thang!

This is from one of the new sets at Imagine That Digistamp called Foxy Thang which I find so adorable.  Kris had it come out and I had to make a card right away because I have a thing for foxes. My daughter rolls her eyes at me.  I don't know why, but I just think they are so adorable - but sly and sneaky.  We actually have one in our neighborhood which is amazing since we live in town.  When I come home late some nights I will see the guy running around between the backyards.

Nurses are patient people

This wonderful set was just re-done at Imagine That Digistamp called Nurse Sara and I also used the paper that coordinates with it called Speedy Recovery.   The sentiment is from TLC.   I have been a nurse for 26 years so I think this is just so adorable.  I actually have 7 different colored stethoscopes so I could color coordinate them to my uniforms when I worked in the hospital.  And, I never had a hat.

WOULD YOU LIKE THIS SET?
Leave a comment by Friday noon (PST) September 9th and your name could be drawn as a winner to get the Nurse Sara set from Imagine That Digistamp.  All you have to do is leave a comment - easy peasy - no taking a blood pressure, giving a medication or wiping a tear.  Winners will be announced on Sunday 3 pm (PST) on the Imagine That Digistamp Blog.

Doggy Door

For anyone who has lost a pet knows they are family members and it hurts and is a great loss.  Bugaboo has a wonderful image for this circumstance.  And Paulette at TLC has the most beautiful sentiment which I put on the inside of the card.

Study

My daughter is teaching 4th grade and she is working very hard on her lesson plans.  Needless to say, I know she is expecting a lot from her students too.  I think she will be a homework queen or maybe a tyrant.  I made this card for her using an image from QKR and the study ticket from TLC.

Back to school cow

By now all kids are back in school and need some encouragement so here is a card that I made using an adorable set from Imagine That Digistamp called School Time Ted & Trudy.  I used the pre-colored Ted and I put glossy accents on his glasses.  I added two different school ribbons that I had.  I also had an apple brad that I had to include as well.  I also have my daughter who is teaching who also needs encouragement even after just two days!!!

I always find that it is much harder to make masculine cards.  Kris at Imagine That Digistamp came out with this new set called Gator Strong which I think is perfect for guys.  This is the second card that I have made from the set and I find it a lot of fun.  This time I colored the gator with my Copics.

Congratulations Mommy-to-be

I have a cousin who is expected and I thought this would be a perfect card for her. I haven't made a shaker card is quite a while so this was a lot of fun.   In addition yesterday started a new challenge at Imagine That and it is a 1-2-3 and you get to pick what you want to have for the items.  So for mine I chose:
1 image,  2 patterned papers,  3 bling, 1 sentiment, 2 large circles, 3 large items in circle.



Sets used:  Pregnant Peggy and Sweet pastels dig papers
