Thought I would share some of the older cards I have made.....










In a terrible Blue Funk today...don't know why, no reason really, just down in the dumps! Tried to shake it by making some new cards but you can tell I wasn't in the mood by the cards....Sigh...here they are anyway!

Played around today and got two cards made

Another faux clay, but this time I rubbed some "rub on metallics" on the floral part and it showed up better...may have to go back and do that to the white faux clay one!

I made this one using the scrap paper from a cricut cutout...that is the lighter pink paper, I just layered it over a darker pink and added some white dots with a gel pen. I thought it turned out kinda neat and had to use it for something! This image makes it look like the darker pink is setting on top of the lighter pink. Funny how the eyes play tricks on the brain!

Another card I made using the Bic Mark it's, sharpies and a copic blender pen. I love this technique...getting all of the copic Ciao markers but have to get two sets of 72 over 2 months time.....I'll be doing the happy dance then!



On this card, I colored the girl using Bic Mark it's and sharpies, trying to get the effect of copic markers, I used a copic blending pen and it worked well.



Another Bic Mark it and Sharpie girl colored on this one.....I have some copic markers, but not enough, I have more coming in the mail...but the Bic's and Sharpies work well with the copic blender pen.





I love faux clay...here is another card I made using this technique....the white corner is the faux clay part and unfortunately, the image doesn't show up too well.

This is watercolor using markers and water brush on glossy paper, then stippled some color for background.




I had a daisy that stamped off using a stampin up set, when I got done, it was too huge to put on a card, so I cut in in 1/2 and made these two cards from it....used my design runner for the words on them.



I have been busy making cards the last couple of days......

Cricut fun


Had to get some cards done for a swap with a birthday theme. Since I've been having too much fun with my cricut, I decided to use it to cut out the words Happy Birthday and this is the card I came up with.

Valentine's I made for a valentine get together on Saturday. Snagged this idea from splitcoast stampers. the outside is an envelope...What a clever idea!

Just bummed

Well, after seeing all the gorgous sites thru the OWOH Giveaway, I look at mine and see it as plain and dumpy! I want to jazz it up with backgrounds and such! Now to try to figure out how to do that! Sigh.........I need a blog fairy to come and visit me!

Spud King


We have a friend that always plants a huge potato patch that we sometimes help plant, and always help dig. I made this for him and it had a crown on it "Spud King" but his sis in law dropped it and broke the crown so he sent it back home with me to make him a new crown. It is made from Polymer Clay.

Clay Moose




This is a moose I made just for the heck of it. It is made out of polymer clay.




Here is a moose I made for my hubby 5 or 6 years ago. It is made from Polymer clay and I crocheted the little hat and sock tops, the scarf is just a scrap of fabric. The sign says "Eat More Beef"

Clay Slinky Dog




Join a craft swap where we had to make something using a spring. My partner in the swap is crazy about toys and even decorated her Christmas tree with toys from "Toy Story" so I made her this slinky dog out of clay for her swap.

Daughters ornament


This is an ornament I made for my daughter when she was preggers with her first child.

And finally some clay work!

















Since my site is called cards and clay, I decided it was time to post some of my clay work! Will have to drag out the CD and find some of the pics of older stuff, but this is what I have on my puter now, so this is what I'm posting. I made this cake topper for my daughters wedding a few years ago. It was a celtic wedding, complete with kilts and the whole nine yards. She wanted her too beagles to be there, but since they couldn't be, she wanted me to add them to the cake topper.
