Retirement Card

Here is another card I created a few years ago. This one is a "retirement" card. I still love this image, especially since I am an accountant by trade, and the good Lord knows, accountants have a nerdy persona!

Again , I used colored pencils and Gamasol to blend the colors! I added a little Diamond Glaze for the eye glass lenses!

Looking at this card, I love the argyle patterned paper and the image. I think I would use ribbon for extra texture and maybe some brads to the corners.

The Inside of the card

Congrats on your Retirment!

Now you can goof off all day at home

Instead of driving to work to do it!

Rock Your Craft!

When Pigs Fly Card

When Pigs Fly..................

I love this card as much as when I created it! I love my pigs! The inside card was left blank for the user to add their own sentiments.

The middle paper was corrugated to add dimension. Once I was done coloring the my little piggie, I glittered the entire image, I really do not think this picture really shows its sparkle! I would not change a thing to this darling card, It has always been a winner at my card shows!

Thankful Thursday Design Team

I have some BIG news today. I made the Thankful Thursday Design Team on Crazy About Cricuts (Jenny's) blog!!!

I am super excited since this is the first design team I have made it on and it was my first time applying for a design team. I am even more excited to have fun designing projects with my family and friends each month. I am looking forward to sharing my love of crafting!

For those of you who are new to my blog, here is a little bit about this Rock Girl!

I have been married to my best friend, Brett, aka DH, for almost 15 years. We live in a little suburb of Chicago, called Grayslake. We have a 20 year old son, named Cory, who is the apple of my eye. He has been a continuous inspiration for me. Brett and I also have 2 furbabies named Pedro and Athena. They tend to keep us entertained.

I have been scrapping and crafting all my life, it is my passion. I lose hours in my Purple Haze Craft Room and love that my husband supports me by doing the dishes on those days!

What I really love about bloggging is the ability to share my creations and teach and learn from others as well! I also have a custom scrapbook business called Crabby Cakes Studio which I create layouts and mini albums with my business partner and friend Christine.

Thank you for stopping by and I would love for you to become a follower if you aren't already. I also love to read all your comments. Thank you Jenny for this great opportunity! So make sure to visit my blog every Thursday to see what I create and what crazy family member it will be with!

Keep Rockin' and Scrappin'

I don't hate everyone......my sassy girl card!

I don't hate everyone......

Inside Card

I was cleaning up my craft room and came across some of my cards I created for craft shows way back when....like 5 years ago!

I love creating cards that surprise the recipient when they open the card, just adding my Rock Girl sass!

The stamp was from Las Vegas Stamp Company, I purchase a pound of unmounted stamps and this was part of the "grab" bag!

I colored my sassy girl with colored pencils and then used Gamasol (not sure this is the proper spelling) I used a blending brush to soften my pencil strokes.

To add some more element to my card, I stitched blue embroidery floss add my sassy girl!

I have a few more to share so please be sure to stop by tomorrow for my next card!
