Swing It

It was my wonderful Sister-In-Law Katie's birthday yesterday and now that I have sent the card off to her I can post it on my blog. I haven't made this card in awhile and I just thought it would be a fun card to send to her because Katie has always been able to swing anything when asked.
I got the stamp and all supplies to make this card from The Rubber Room and Online store. They have the New High Hopes stamps too that were just released today that are by Dustin Pike!
I coloured the image with Copic Markers. The tree branch I had to use one of those reversible stamps so that I could line up the two together. I hope you like her!
Have a great day!!

Hung out To Dry

Good Morning all,

This morning I am posting my House Mouse card from a stamp that I had purchased last year and never really got a chance to play with. I just love these little guys they are so cute. I coloured them with copic markers. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Thanks for stopping by.
Have a wonderful day.

Bird Fairy

Good Afternoon all,

Well today I got a chance to do some playing with a beautiful new stamp I got from Kraftin'Kimmie Stamps This Bird Fairy is one of Crissy's cuties. I fell in love with her the second I saw her. I coloured her in with Copics and used my Martha Stewart Daisy punch to accent the card. I hope you all like it.

Have a wonderful day!!

Sympathy Card

I made this card for a friend of Phil's whose father had died recently. I find it very hard to make a sympathy card for a man, all seem to be very girly because they normally are flowers that you put on them. I tried to make this one more for a man sticking to the blues and using a textured back ground paper. I used my copics and pencil crayons with OMS. I found that the end result was what I was hoping for, more masculine. I hope that you like what I have done and thanks for stopping by. I hope to be adding more posts in the near future. Have a great day. Diane
All products used for this card came from The Rubber Room craft and online store.

Worker Ant

Hi All,

Well after a very long few months I am back. Between getting married moving and starting on a new contract I have been one very busy worker Ant. I have finally gotten better after being down for a few weeks with that nasty flu bug. Not 100% as of yet but I am getting there. But I am sure you didn't stop by to hear my tails of my busy life you stopped by to see my cards. This Worker Ant card is one of High Hopes stamp and I thought it was a cute one to do as my first card back in a while. I coloured the worker ant with copics. I made the card to be like a match book. I had a lot of fun colouring him while I was down and out with the flu. All supplies came from the Rubber Room craft and online store. Thanks for stopping by Diane.

Wedding invites

Hi all,
First off let me say I have had a very busy the past few weeks and have not been able to get on to post, or make anything. We, Phil and I, have now bought a house and have set a wedding date. Yup we move the 15 of Aug. (we get the keys on the 13th) and we get married the following weekend. Whew busy busy busy. My parents are having our wedding in their backyard. They are doing so much to try and make this a day to remember. Mom and I have now found my dress and shoes, Dad has gotten the caterer and they both have decided on a place to get cupcakes, nice touch instead of a big cake. I don't want a big wedding so it is a very small wedding with less then 40 all together. Anyways Thanks to The Rubber Room and my good friend Shirley I am posting my wedding invites. Shirley had a sample of this card done up that she had made for a family members wedding invite and I like it so much she lent me the stamp set. The Rubber Room did the wording on it and I did the rest. Hope you like it. once I have the thank you gifts done I will post them as well. Have a great week and I hope to have something new to post soon.
