Untraditional Bride

I've always dreamed like most small girls of the perfect wedding, sadly mine never consisted of bubble gun pink dresses and white flowing dresses, no mine always consisted of the bolder colors, Royal Purple, Red Pepper Red or my personal favorite Brandywine-Red Wine color.  So this is my nod to my dress, one that is still alive and kicking just slight a bit more realistic on items that I thought would be a "must have" the different color dress is still a "must have" though and that will never change. 

Now I have watched the show Say Yes to the Dress from time-to-time and most of the dresses they pick out seem to suit their style and always making sure to check off traditional dress for traditional wedding.  Me, I have never seen a show where someone comes in looking for something simply smashing in red, purple or Brandywine for a wedding dress and not the bride's maids.

They'll be having more in this genre of card since I have none made and since being sick I have been unable to work on cards as much as I would like to.  This one took two days but that was with breaks and such.

Enjoy it!  I know I do!

Steampunk Valentine's Day Cards Part 2

I think if I had to pick a favorite Steampunk theme card, the one above would be my favorite. There is just something with the paper and the lettering that I find pretty awesome. I used some of my Graphic 45 paper, stuff that I usually have a hard time using since it is always so awesome cool. I thought the paper went well with the dress form with a belt of floss and a brad that came from one of my Halloween brad sets that I got. The fonts are something that I collected from one of the free font sites, I'm always looking for new and different fonts to use on my cards and I think this collection worked out well.

This is the other Steampunk Valentine's Day card that I made as well using my 5x5 cards that have a detailed edge which make the front of the card pop since I picked a nice dark purple to go with the purple swirls that were on the paper, they had a reflective look to them so I thought it would tie in nicely together. The wings on this dress form was inked with purple to match all the other purple I had going on. I guess I could have used a green to make things pop, but I think this turned out just the way it should have been. The love on this card is using a ton of different fonts which goes with the Steampunk theme.

A Floral Birthday Wish

Birthday wishes that I only wished I could get out on time or to people that need them.

To the Rescue!

Here's a "get well soon" card that I couldn't resist not making. The cardinal just called to me to make a card out of him.

Penning Hello

I always do seem to love making "thinking of you" cards. I am especially in love with the Sentimentals cartridge for the Cricut, hence why it keeps showing up.

Asian themed Birthday Greeting

I seemed to have been in a birthday card making mood, so I produced quite a few of them.
