Smooth Rider Card!

My mom has a picture of herself from the 70s that she absolutely loves. It's a picture where she's leaning against a car similar to the one in this pic ans she was wearing a tiger print shirt and red tight pants. So I wanted to recreate it in a card based on that pic to give her. And don't you tell her I said anything about her in the 70s, she'll kill me! Anyways, here my best interpretation of the pic into a card.TFL!

Hang in there Card

I have a few cards I've designed on my gypsy at one time or another and never made them into actual cards. So the next few cards I'll be making will be cards that were stored in my gyspy. It just happens that I get some inspiration from somewhere or I get a new cart a forget about the previous design. I hope I'm not the only one who has long lost gypsy files! I created this one about 2 or 3 weeks ago when I received Straight from the Nest. I finally got it out of that gypsy and made it into a card. TFL!

Thanks Card w/ Best of Pixar!

I was at the grocery store today and was looking at the cards and I got the idea to make this card from one of the cards there. So here;s my version of that card. Inside it says: It may not have seemed like a big deal to you but it was to me Thank you. TFL!

Boo's Room Card-Monsters Inc.

I got Best of Pixar yesterday and I just about died when I saw all the tiny layers needed for a lot of the cuts! So luckily I like to color everything and decided to just cut out one layer and color it with my BIC Mark it Markers. It went so much faster and easier than having to piece everything together! And I know you could do the same thing with the Imagine but I like to color so it's not a big deal. Anyways, here's my card!TFL!
