She bought it and I bought it and since she runs a FB group we both agreed to make a card with it and post it. Well, this is my card using the die.<br />

I can't believe that I'm back with another project. It's another Easter project using once again a file from Svgcuts.com It's a card in a box that lays flat for mailing. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The original cut file had an Easter bunny but I decided to cut it out and used a cross die from Spellbinders instead. I think I'm going to send this to my sister-in-law. She really appreciates the cards I make so I know it will go to a good home.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Enjoy! and if you have any questions feel free to drop me a line. I love hearing from you all!</div>

<br />
Today's card is for a friend that hasn't been feeling up to snuff. While browsing Pinterest, I seen a card where she used Winnie the Pooh with the caption "Feeling Like Pooh" and I thought I had to use that. So here's my rendition of it.<br />

This was one heck of a card to photograph and I still can't capture the sparkle it has. <br />

Do you watch Big Bang Theory? My husband and I love that show. We are late to the party so I'm sure there's a lot of episodes we haven't seen but early this year you could've flipped on any channel and they were playing reruns. Any who, when I was making this card, Sheldon's lullaby kept running through my mind. So we have Hello Kitty instead of warm kitty.<br />
<br />
This was made for my cousin's little girl who likes two things. Hello Kitty and American Girl dolls.<br />
<br />
We recently moved and as I was unpacking I came across some old American Girl cookbooks that my parents had gotten me when I was a young girl. Seeing as I don't have any kids of my own I thought who else to give them to then to my little cousin. I know she will take care of them so I feel comfortable in letting them go.<br />
<br />
So without further ado, here's Hello Kitty.<br />

<br />
I made this card for my husband who is currently working out of town for who knows how long.<br />
<br />
I used the July card kit from Simon Says Stamp which I just love! The sketch I used came from the <a href="http://mojomonday.blogspot.com/2015/07/mojo-monday-405-contest.html" target="_blank">MOJO Monday</a>. <br />

<br />
But I am kind of embarrassed that I only seem to blog about Christmas cards. Never the less. I have a few cards I'll be showing over the next couple days.<br />
<br />
My husband comes to me and tells me he needs a Buckeyes inspired card to send to a buddy of his who is a Michigan fan.<br />
<br />
I had no idea what I was going to do so I went to Old Faithful (Pinterest) and found <a href="http://monicas-passions.blogspot.com/2008/11/i-have-to.html" target="_blank">this</a> card.<br />
<br />
I changed a few things on it but it's pretty much a CASE.<br />
<br />
Everything is SU except the polka dot background. I used a PTI set to do that. If you have any questions on what I used on this card. Drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you!<br />
<br />
Hope you like<br />

The colors in it are gorgeous!<br />
<br />
I was so excited when I sat down to write this post but it was a feeling very short lived. I thought "Hey, I finally made an all SU card" NOT! Every die I used was from Spellbinders. The papers and stamps was from SU and to boot, the stamp set is retired. You can buy the stamp from <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=123963" target="_blank">SU </a>in digital format for only $1.95 USD. <br />
<br />
This is a 5.5" x 5.5" easel card. I used, Island Indigo, Coastal Cabana, and Smoky Slate card stock. The patterned paper is from the Winter frost paper back and 12" x 12" dsp pack. I embossed the image using black embossing power then created by background using crumb cake and baked brown sugar and various SU blue inks. <br />

I have to say, I do not like this card at all but I ran out of time and now I'm stuck with it.<br />
<br />
I was determined that I would use this Memory Box tree die but it's HUGE so I had to make a big card which is 5x7. I love the look of brayered skies but I need practice and lots of it as you can see from this photo. I'm probably going to redo this card until I get it right<br />

It's been a while since made a card and posted. My mojo has disappeared but it will come back I'm sure.<br />
<br />
This card I done is for a couple different things. One it's the 300th sketch from Mojo Monday and a red, white and blue challenge that my friend Holly and I are doing. I am going to toot my own horn here. I have never and I mean NEVER worked with 3 different patterned papers and was happy with the outcome.<br />
<br />
The patterned paper is from Imaginisce Snowy Jo line and from Paper Studio. I used PTI vellum for the snowflake and Stampers Select white for the base. SU's Basic Gray for the layer. <br />
<br />
The stamp set is from There She Goes called Warmest Wishes. I used Prisma pencils to color the snowman and used coordinating dies to cut the image out. Spellbinders was used to cut out the vellum snowflake. The bling is from SU colored with a Sharpie marker. One thing this picture doesn't show is the dimension. There are 3 dimensionals under that snowflake.<br />
<br />
Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions.<br />
<br />

Today I'm showing one for a summer salad. If you make any of these recipes and you liked them, let me know. If you didn't like them, you don't need to let me know. lol <br />
<br />
This was a pain in the arse. It took me forever to come up with this simple design. I had it all put together and I realized I forgot to type the name of the recipe on it. Argh! So I had to somehow put it on there. This is what I came up with. I typed and printed them out then used a banner die to cut them out. <br />
<br />
When I showed it to Mark his first response was, "there's no cherries in there". Why did you stamp a cherry. Seriously! I told him I was taking liberties. <br />

Never having to cook really I was at a loss on what to make for dinner. I decided to try this recipe and the rest is history. I've been making this going on 8 years. It still remains one of our favorite recipes.<br />
<br />
What better recipe to share with a great group of ladies from a <a href="http://www.startascrapbook.com/community/" target="_blank">site</a> I love to visit. I learned something about myself when doing this swap. I need to have a purpose to use my supplies. I've never had so much fun then when I was doing these swaps. <br />
<br />
When having a purpose to using my supplies I never once thought about hoarding anything. Everything was fair game. Well as long as I had multiples of 8 since I had to do that many.<br />
<br />
<br />
So without further ado here's the first recipe. I'll be back tomorrow with the other one that I signed up to do.<br />

I made this card for a young lady who is graduating from high school in a few days. I remember when I first met her. It was 9 years ago on my birthday when my boyfriend at the time took me to meet one of his best friends. They have became dear friends of mine as well. Shelby was only in the 3rd grade. It's so hard to believe she is getting ready to move on to the next chapter of her life. She is such a sweet girl. Mark and I always say, if all the kids could be like the Riffle kids the world would be a better place. <br />
<br />
Anywho, lets get on with the card<br />
