"Boy Time Card"

Hi Everyone, Hope you are well, and dont have too much of a chocolate hangover ! I had a lovely Valentines; little gifts for my cards, a tiny box of chocolates and a magical kiss...

.I could'nt ask for anything more...

So, I am trying to stock up my Etsy shop, so I am making a variety of styles...I felt like playing with this Bingo card, so I made a card for a boy; I had so much fun making this. The 3 papers are from K and Co., and all the other elements were gifted to me.

I hung the 3 different charms on twine and hooked them up on my Bingo card, then I put this little boy on a swing and used these wood style buttons to hook up the swing.

How cute is this guy with his long brown hair and big brown eyes, his vest and shoes...

I think next card will be a girlie girl card....Bye for now...

Happy Valentines

Happy Valentine's Day my lovelies....

"Melissa's Moment" B'Day card

Hey all, My girlfriend asked me to make a card for her young employee. I felt kind of sorry for the fact that her birthday is March 3rd, so I made something very sunny and colorful...It looks so much better in person.
I'm feeling kind of blue today, so I think I will just post the pics and go have a nap...hugs to you all...

The Birthday wishes are embossed; cant really tell in this picture...

Todays card

Hi ladies, I am keeping busy stocking up my Etsy Shop. I need some masculine cards, so I will be concentrating on making those for the next few weeks. I must admit, I find them much harder to make, so it is a good challenge for me. I am really happy with the one I made this morning, so manly,  but I am not happy with the picture. I listened to an excellent broadcast this morning on improving your Etsy store.  .http://www.livestream.com/etsy
I learnt a lot and will tweek my shop based on this new information; better pictures for one thing. But for today, this is what we get ! :-). I have not named her yet ; ususally, I come up with a name quickly, but nothing is coming to mind for this one. Any suggestions ?

 I cut out the main image from a wine magazine ( my hubby and I are both wine lovers ); I distressed and inked the edges then mounted it on this really cool paper I have that looks like cork. The main paper is from 7gypsies, lots of distressing, writing, loops etc.

Corner punched with my favorite MS punch; I used old buttons for the binding and some twine...

and finished it off with this really manly rubban.

Hope you enjoyed my post. Have a lovely evening.  Hugs G.

"Key to my Heart" Card

Hi all, here is my latest card.

I used DCWV Mariposa paper; I adore this paper pack; some lace in which I entwined some twine;  Prima chipboard, K and Co. key, an old button ( gifted to me) in which I inserted a bit of chiffon, made some loops with twine, added some bling in the middle

Cut out some frame papers and inked them up to match the green; cut out a heart and used MS glitter on it.

And finally, glimmer misted the whole card with some TA glimmer mist; you can see the shimmer in the middle.

Tks for visiting; till next time....Hugs...Gisèle

"Lacy sunday" Card

Hello ladies, My, it feels like such a long time since I posted...I have been very busy opening my ETSY store; I now have 15 cards up, and I sold 1 yesterday !!! It was very exciting getting my first sale..I don't really know what to expect since there are so many people that sell cards on line and I am in Canada.
Time will tell...

I have also been having fun receiving people and visiting others on the OWOH event; it is my first year participating and I am giving away 3 cards; come and leave me a comment if you are interested; and here is a link for anyone that may not know about the event...

I do some accounting and bookkeeping for my girlfriend who is self employed; I mentioned to her the other day that I was out of lace, and to thank me for all the free help I gave her this year, she sent me a box of
amazingly beautiful lace...All sorts of colors and styles, width and length....I was thrilled...Today I had the pleasure to work with it, and this is the outcome;
Lacy Sunday ( isn't that a great name; my hubby came up with it)...

I did a lot of inking and glimmer misting on the papers, the flower and the laces to age them. I fabricated  the flower, added some music notes in the corner, glimmer misted the whole card to give it that magical shimmer.

I decorated the inside with more lace and a little border that I also inked.

I love the vintage look and feel of this card...
