Secret Sister Week 5

My Secret Sister continues to be so generous!! This week she sent me 3 sheets of really psychedelic, groovy Stickopotamus Stickers, a lovely clear stamp and a great card!!

Look at how precise the coloring is - so pretty!! I wish I had the patience for this!! I just love tulips!! They are one of my favorite flowers!! Tulips, Daffodils, and Violets - I love them!!

Look at the leaves on this image! Wow!! And the blue background behind them filled in so perfectly! I could never do that!

And here is a close up of the adorable stamp she sent me! I can hardly wait to use it!

Secret Sister Week 4

Here's the great stuff my SS sent for Week 4. Another adorable card!! A clear stamp (I LOVE them!!!) and some really cool things I can't quite describe!! Read on!!

I have never seen these before but they are soooo cool!! Just put one on the front of your card, maybe embellish a little if you want, and you are ready to go! It is beautiful!! All shiny and holographic like!! Wow!! There were 6 in the pack - three like this and three with a bird.

They're called Christmas Picture Prints by Dufex Craft Products. The package says they are engraved and will allow you to add light and movement to your projects. Sooo cool!!!! You can check them out here http://www.dufexcrafts.com/

How sweet is this?? House Mouse leaning on his Teddy!!! I love it!! This is my secopnd House Mouse card and he is just too cute for words!!! And the paper he is matted on is just gorgeous!! I'm going to take this card to Archiver's so I can try to find this kind of paper!! I love it!! It's shimmery without being overbearing, and textured too. Soooo cool!!

Secret Sister Week 3

Wow!! I can hardly believe week three of our Secret Sister exchange has come and gone already!! I am so behind in posting the wonderful goodies I have been receiving! My SS sent me 4 sheets of Stickopotamus stickers, a bunch of really cute pink ribbon, a piece of ribbon that says "Made Especially for You" on it and another beautifully hand colored card! That really seems to be her speciality!

This would be a great Valentine's Day card!! So sparkly and glittery!!
Isn't the coloring fabulous??
And the paper is either handmade or mulberry or something! It's fantastic!!
Hmmm...who shall I use it for???? {grin}

Secret Sister Week 1 & 2

I signed up for a Secret Sister exchange on Lorie Ames' blog Live, Love, Laugh, Create. I have been having a blast making cards and sending little goodies to my secret sis. Well, I got my first package and I got 2 weeks' worth of goodies at once!!

I just love the ribbon on this card,it is so soft!! I would love to find it somewhere! And the coloring my secret sis did is amazing!! I just don;t have the patience for this kind of intricate work. ;(

My first House Mouse!! Isn't this the sweetest thing?? I love the paper rick rack on the edges!!It's beautiful!! I'd love to find it too!!! And the paper that the image and sentiment are bordered on is shimmery - sooooo pretty!!!! Gotta' get me some!!!

And then there's the stickers!! 2 sets!!! Both are Stickopotamus, but I had to take them out of the wrapper to avoid the glare for the close up shots. I'm sure she sent the firecrackers cuz I said I make and send a lot of Patriotic cards for soldiers. I used to make a lot for birthdays for sons and daughters of people on MMO but now I'm going to concentrate on cards for Cards for Heroes and OQC. You should check them both out!
