1930's Jeanne

Hello, and Happy Tuesday!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day Weekend!!

Saturday was my Mother in Law's 84th Birthday

and all she wanted was to have her 3 boys together :)

My husband, who is the oldest brother, planned a dinner

at a local restaurant and invited the brothers, 

the grandchildren and  all the great grandchildren!!  

Out of her 12 grandchildren, only 2 were missing.  

She was so happy to have her family all together!!

Here is a picture of my MIL with her 3 boys!!

(my hubby is the one in the red shirt :) )

So she was born in 1931, so I decided to make her a card

using the Julie Nutting 1930's Jeanne Doll Stamp.

I just love the way my card turned out, and my

MIL loved it too!!

Here is a close up of her face,

I used the Peachy Keen Laughy Taffy Faces

I colored her face, hair and skin with my Spectrum Noir Markers

and paper pieced her dress with paper from a My Mind's Eye

6x6 paper pad.  The sentiment if from Craftin Desert Divas 

Happy Celebrations Stamp Set

I added some fun embellishments to finish off the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

I will be entering this in the following challenges:

Graduation card I made for her.

I started with a 5x5 square card, which I embossed with stars.

the design elements are from the My Scrap Chick Card Essentials

This file makes it very easy to but a card together.

The pattern papers and Stars are from

Doodlebugs "The Graduates" line.

Miss Kate's Cuttables Guest Designer

Hello and Happy Staurday!!

 I am beyond thrilled to be

guest designing for Miss Kate's Cuttables!!

I have been a fan long before I even had a

machine that could cut them.

I started downloading the files way

before I bought my Silhouette.

 

I chose to use the adorable

"BEWITCHING" file

Here are the projects I made with this adorable file

I made a cute little shaped card

and treat bag. 

I created a shaped card using the moon file.

I had to add the cute little witch

flying by on her broom!! 

I used Peachy Keen's In The Garden Faces

to stamp her sweet face.

The pattern papers and Sprinkles are

from Doodlebug Ghouls & Goodies line.

I embossed her hair using the Cuttlebug Divine Swirls folder.

I added some sparkle to her hair and the broom

with Wink of Stella Markers.

The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas Stamps

Happy Celebrations Stamp Set, I heat embossed

in using Zing Embossing Powder

I also made a sweet little treat bag

using the tree and bat files.

 I used Peachy Keen's Monster Mash

for the faces on these guys.

I also used the Cuttlebug Woodgrain

folder to emboss the tree.

 

These files were so much fun to work with

and super easy to put together.  I love

that they include base images that make

 it super easy to put the layers together.

 

Thanks for stopping by today :)
