Not A Winner ( Sniff, Sniff) LOL

Okay SO Ive been awhile ..But i got new , well used ,but new to me lolsheleves and I was making my craft room over and now I can find things Yeaaaaaaaaaa , Humm I wonder how long that will last ..But it's all good now ..So Okay on to my sad story.
I sell stamps for the Angel Company and One of the perks is you can enter card contests to Win Stamps ..I was so scared but decided to give it a whirl ...So I used the stamp set " HATS Off" on page 63of the catty and Catelynne paper on page 68 ..I love that paper ..Anyway I wanted to be different and so I wanted to do Paper pleats I love to do that ..so Thats what I did and the top card I wanted it to look like a old time bloouse with a Brouch ( I cant spell darn it ) in the middle so I added Crystal Effects and I love the cards ..Not my best but still fun to make ..Now im trying to get up enough nerve to try again for April 1st ..ill let you know what I do ..
Ill have another card soon as my secret sister is due and she really isnt a secret anymore hahahaha..Long story .

Valentines For My Buddies

Okay so here are my Valentine Cards ..I know im late but I had Computer Problems and was with out a computer and man do I HATE that ..I have to have a computer so I can get my cards on here for my 2 fans that I have LOL
anyway they are both Simluar but different ..I use Copics on both and used the fur Tecnique to color in my Kitties ( if you go to I LIKE MARKERS.blogspot.com you find this and many other tecniques ) I love it ..and then The one just below I I made for my good Buddy Dana and used Yoyos I made the bottom corner and a pink ribbion to kind make a corner embelishment in the upper corner and I saw how others where using
doilies and so I thought I would give it a whirl ..I do love how they came out ..
Hope you like them ..




This card below is Jackies Card ( my secret Sister ) and I Did make it a little different ..but still have the dolies on it ..and used flower and heart accent on the flower and both have charms ..



This is the inside of my cards ..( Now my friends will know both where the same lol)
I love doing the inside as it only takes a min and really adds to the whole thing ..

Engine Inside

Well I had to add the inside to the card Below as I didnt use to do the inside of cards , but now I think its a sin not too.LOL
As it really does add to your card and you put all that work into in it in the first place why not go a step futher ...
I ruined a pictured I colored before the one that is on the card and instead if tossing it I saved bits and pieces for the inside .Worked out great huh?? I do have more .......
thanks

Trading Engines

So My good Buddy Trudy and I decided to trade images , Then she made it more interesting and said "lets make a card for each other and send them " I was kinda scared as she is Very Very Good , In fact she is the one who got me Hooked On stamps ..I signed under her to sell Angel company stamps...I always Love her cards ..You should go see her At Trudy's Treasures you'll find her listed on the left of my blog and can click on there to get to her .
So I picked this Image she sent from High Hopes ..I was kinda scared as I was thinking little kid , Bright colors and im not to good at this ..But I think Im getting better at it ..I used my copics and pencils ( as I dont own alot of copics ,YET hehe) and on the wind shild and tail light and the head light I used Glossy Accecnts .I also tried to make a glow on the headlight.I added Dew drops in the corner and I think you can guess the litte Do DAD I used on the ribbion ..") I had some Jewelry findings for the tires and red brads ..
Hope you like this one ..

Playing Possum

Okay so for days now we have been hearing alot of banging in the bathroom ..It would mostly happen at night ..I would go to find my Hubby on the floor over the heating vent bangging back at this creature .Trying to figure out what it was ..It was trying to push its way through the vent ..My Husbad , The great white Hunter that he is, poked a hole in the vent to see what it could be ..Sure enough they were eyeball to eyeball ..Too funny ..
So now what to do ..we ran across a person who lives a few houses down and they had a live trap ..and so you can see what we caught ..a HUGE possum ..The guys were very nice to take hin off our hands ..I was so scared ..This thing is icky and it hisses at you ..
So now we can sleep at night right ??? that would be a NO a Big NO
he left his girlfriend behind I guess or boyfriend who can tell these days ..") so she is more clever tho , it took us two nites to catch her ..So we can only pray they are all gone now and we will have no more run in's with these guys ...I want to go back to CO ...
Help !
Thought Id share my little adventure ..
