Yipee more layouts done

This layout is of my two ragdoll cats babysitting grandbaby.  They love to watch over her.  The cat is from Cindy Lou and the paper and ribbon I got on clearance at Target in a package.  The title Will work for fish is from Mickey Fonts.  

The other two layouts were quick ones using felt cut outs from Michaels last year and flowers for this one. 

This one I used some ribbon and some baby cut outs I got on clearance at Michaels.  

Card for Blog Quick Quotes Sketch Challenge

Blog Quick Quotes is having their first Linking party.  This is the sketch  that you were to follow. 

 

This is my card.  I used some denim look and cabbage rose blue flowers.  The pocket  and pull out piece are  from Stand and Salute,  The tiny fleur on the bottom is from Cindy Lou.  I used an MS punch for the corners and a punch for the flowers.  I added lace to the pocket and more lace and ribbon across the card.  I then embellished with pearls and added fake stitching with a white gel pen.  The stamp is one I bought last month at Michaels for $1,  

Here is tag pulled out.  

I am also posting  this in the Mag Challenge.  This challenge was to use the Stand and Salute cart page 42 only.  However I am disqualifying myself from the challenge  as I forgot and added the tiny fleur at the bottom from Cindy Lou. However I am totally thrilled with the way the card came out using the pocket and tag cut from Stand and Salute page 42.  Thank you Mag Challenge for having us use this great page with the great pocket cut.

Christmas cards for 2011

My goal is to make 2-4 Christmas cards per month so I will actually have cards ready next year.  The first  card I made with a Sizzix embossing folder which actually has little deer on it similar to this Cindy Lou deer.  The frame and Peace is f rom Cindy Lou.  The snowflakes are glittered foam I bought on clearance.  The second card was done with the Cuttlebug tree embossing folder.  I got this one after Christmas last year and finally tried it.  Used foil paper pad from Recollections.  Frame from Cindy Lou and then used I rock to add gems.  The Merry Christmas was a see through sticker.
