Have a Donut!

Don't mind if I do! I used the Hero Art CL403 "Have a donut" set to create this fun card with the stinkin cute donut box. Stamped with Memento ink & colored in with Copics. I cut the donuts out, made a rectangle (for the box), Cuttlebugged it, then tucked the donuts behind. CUTE!

Brunch anyone?

This toaster is adorable! I used Hero Arts' CL416 "What's Perking" clear set & Memento inks. I stamped the toaster on the yellow & white dot paper, then cut the toaster out. I also used the new dot Cuttlebug folder. Too fun!

I donut what I'd do without you!

Now I'm hungry. I love the new clear set from Hero Arts, CL403 "Have a Donut". I used Memento ink & of course...Copics, a clear gel pen for the icing, scallop scissors & the new dot Cuttlebug folder.

Yee-haw!

Save a horse. Ride a cowboy! I used the new Cuttlebug folder, "Polka Dots" again with the "Houndstooth" one, scalloped scissors & Copics. Ain't she perdy, Rick.

Round 'em Up!

Come On! How cute is he!? I'm enjoying the new Cuttlebug folders, especially the "Polka Dots" one. I also used more folders, a corner punch and, of course, Copics. Hope you like, Rick.

Giddy Up!

I made this card while at a "crafty get together" with friends. Cute, huh?
I used new Cuttlebug folder, "Seeing Spots". Love it!!! As well as more folders, Nestabilities, & Copics. XO Rick.

Long Time No Blog!

Hey there! Sorry it's been so long. I finally got a job, well now I have 2 part time jobs. One is at Kmart. I am in a new position, Visual Specialist. I'm in charge of merchandising, signing & displays in all the clothing departments. My other job is at Bath & Body Works...OMG, there goes my paycheck. Love that store!!! I pretty much work every day, so I'll be updating this whenever I get a free moment. Thanks for your patients, Rick.

Best Wishes!

Come on! How cute is this?! The pink scallop is actually the card, it flips up. I used Nestabilities Scallop Circles, Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder, Martha Stewart cupcake corner punch, Memento inks & Copics. Have fun & celebrate like it's your birthday, Rick.

Mmm! Now I want a cupcake. I used Nestabilities Big Scallop Rectangle Small, Cuttlebug Devine Swirl & Swiss Dots embossing folder, Martha Stewart cupcakes border punch, Memento inks & Copics. Bon Appetit, Rick.

Happy Birthday!!!

You can never have too many birthday cards, right?! I made this card by using white cardstock & making it into a gate fold card. I closed the card & adhered the brown & blue panel on top to keep the card shut. Then I made a tag for the inside. I used Nestabilities Scallop Circles, Cuttlebug Devine Swirl folder, Martha Stewart cupcakes border punch & Memento inks. Happy birthdays, Rick.

Another Crafty Birthday!

This card Terry made using Tim Holtz's new dies, Elegant Flourishes & Styled Labels. For the card base, he Cuttlebugged using Devine Swirls on half of the card. Then used the Scor-it! to score two lines to finish off the egde of the embossed swirls. Next, Terry die cut the cream piece & stamped the trees on it, then the message using Memento ink. Die cut the flourish, adhere & add a pearl. Too pretty! We left Evelyn's at 1am. We were craftin' fools & had a blast! See ya soon, Rick.

Another Crafty Birthday!

Surprise again! Terry & I went to the burbs on Friday for our monthly craft fest with friends, Drussy, Nancy, Evelyn & Lisa. We get to Evelyn's house & there was a "Happy Birthday" sign in the yard. They had "Over the Hill" decorations everywhere. They had a De-lish chocolate cake & a torte. I got a bunch of handmade birthday cards. I even got dinner & a gift card to TARGET! Yeah! If I would have known, I would had brought my camera. This is one of the cards I make that night. Thanks guys, yall are the best, Rick.

Rick's Surprise Crafting Party!

SURPRISE! Sue, Gail, Terry, Tina, Yolanda, Jana, Michelle, Julie, Sean, Mary & Suzanne all surprised me with a fabulous birthday party at the studio! I had no clue. They all told me that we were going to a "Tim Holtz class" in the "burbs". So, they decided to "carpool" to the studio. Clever. Thanks guys for all the food, fun & stamp presents!
I had a blast!!! xo Rick
