This is the good stuff, enjoy card

Here's I card I made using some print and cut images with my Silhouette. Using your Silhouette you select the image(s) you want to print. Make sure you print the registration marks too. Now that the images are printed you insert that paper into the Silhouette and the digital cutter finds the edges of the images and cuts them out. Is that cool or what?!? This card is for the son of a close friend. He's too young to have grown up with these type of cars but appreciates them nonetheless.

You Are Here card

Some of my family members are traveling this summer. My sister-in-law and her family are making a big trip overseas to Italy for two weeks. Just in case they don't know where they are when they land this card will tell them...you are here.

I made this card by using an American Crafts page kit but cut the paper using a Sheetload pattern. Sheetload stopped offering free desings in Dec 2009 but I downloaded all the templates and decided it was time to use one again.

Power Tools Rule card

Here's another guy type birthday card. I can't remember the manufacturer but there was a set of coordinating paper and embellishments. I used Fiskars scissors to get a saw type cut on the edge of the blue paper and a few brads as an embellishment.

Just Thinking About You Card

Here's I card I made with a WeR Memory Keepers Kit. Even though it has flower elements I thought the colors would work for a guy birthday card. As I've previously mentioned their card kits are made very well so don't hesitate to make a purchase if you see one.

Congrats card

My nephew is graduating high school so I made this card for him. I attended a class at a convention last year and when I made this card I set it aside for him. It is from Boxer Scrapbooks.

What an eye...

I recently got an email announcing a live event by Kelby Training spotlighting a day with Jay Maisel. I wasn't sure what it was about and I didn't watch it. I'm lucky though because I have a subscription to Kelby Training so I was able to watch it after the fact.

In one of the sessions Jay tells Scott Kelby that of a slide show of about 360 images only 3 where changed. By changed he means cropped. They continue to talk about getting picture right in the camera and limiting the editing or cropping after the fact. Scott has a had time with this and later in this session Scott says "Jay I don't know if you realize it but I use a program called Adobe Photoshop and Jay responds "I've heard of it".

So Happy For You Two card

Hard to believe a year has gone by since hubby and I attended a wedding for Victoria and Chris. The not so newlyweds are doing well. I made this card using a kit from WeR Memory Keepers. I think their kits give very professional results. The score lines on the cards are perfect the embellishments and coordinating papers make for some great cards. Best of all I got all of these kits on sale!

You're only a kid once card - another version

I have used this phrase on another card but this one uses the image that came with the mini stamp set by Inkadinkado. The design is... you guessed by Boxer Scrapbooks that I learned at a make and take.
I used some left over papers and then added my accents of Sakura gel pens, corner punches and a peel off.

Wishes card

Here's a card I made in a class by Technique Tuesday. They have a bunch of really small stamps that you can use to make borders or repetitive patterns. We used a bit of stickles but it is still a masculine card. The accent is ribbon that we distressed a bit and then stamped on it.
