Black and Yellow Vellum Flowers

Hello, Todays card was a challenge card to use vellum and make a flower for your card. Vellum is such a fun paper to work with because you can get so many different looks. I chose to die cut my flowers with a spellbinders sunflower shape and then stamp with a matching stamp from Heartfelt Creations. I tried many markers,pens,chalks until  I settled on  using copics. Hope you enjoyed todays card thanks for stopping by.

3D Birthday Butterflies

This card was so simple to make using the silhouette it did all the work for these 3D butterflies. I backed the inside of the card with blue gingham along with the trim. The card is business  envelope size which makes it a little different from your normal A2 and A7 cards. A touch of $1 store bling finishes off the card  Have a Great Day

Graduation 2012

So many graduations and so many cards, here are a few I did for some of the Grads in our family and friends. I love the yellow and blue  jumping grad card . The grad was cut with the silhouette along with the stars and the  the frames cut with nesties. The red and gray was stamped and embossed and accented with a little bling. The silver and white card is simply stamping and embossing and the border is cut with a spellbinder die Congrats To All The Grads!!!

Halo's Last Page

Hello everyone, Today I am posting a scrapbook page it is the last page in my grandaughters first year scrapbook. I got it finished just in time for Mothers day for her Mom and she loved it. I really did not want to be working on it and she was graduating college. I am posting the last page because it was the favorite for most people, it also was so amazing how the photo came about. Halo was sitting with my sister playing with the camera, well it seems she had changed some of the settings which is why the photo is in sepia and not color. My sister did not know that halo had changed the settings and took her photo as Halo was longingly looking for her mom who had stepped out of the room for a moment. Although Halo is 18 months in the photo I had to include it in the album. The page has a transparency overlay that has a frame, I added the stickers hope wish and time along with the rhinestones. I also added the lyrics to If I could by Regina Bell to the background. Thanks for stopping by have a creative day Alicia

Amazing Paper Grace

I had the best weekend I was able to meet one of my favorite card makers and bloggers Becca from Amazing Paper Grace.Becca was at the Adventures in Stamping convention in Akron, Ohio. If you have never been to her blog you are missing a real treat and if you have stopped by you understand why I was so excited. I guess beautiful people make beautiful things because Becca was so Friendly and willing to share her card making knowledge I felt like I was talking to a old friend. I tried not to stalk her too much didn't want her think she needed to get a restraining order !!! To put it in perspective for my husband to understand I told him if I were a teenager she would be my Justin Beiber(Insert high pitch teenage scream) The whole convention was nice of course my wallet will take a couple of months to recover from the trauma.

I Guess I should sneak in a quick card . Yes I am hooked on making shutter cards this one used $1 store layered stickers . The base is glitter pattern cardstock.

Thanks Stopping by Alicia
