The Golden Years by Currie


 
Currie combined a bit of elegance and humor. She used the Cricut Storybook Cartridge for the center shape and out lined it. She stitched the red star shapes with embroidery floss, it really added a nice contrast.  The ribbons on the top of the card are a great embellishment especially with the added red buttons to match the floss.  If you notice the buttons are not all the same, and that adds an extra interest.

Currie's Happiness Fairy

I think Currie did a really good job on this one.  I like that it can be a quick card for the times you need one right away and it looks complete and clean.  This card can be used for just about any occasion, or someone who just need a smile.  And if you have a glitter, just put it inside as Happy Dust for the unexpected surprise!  She used Copic Markers, Bic Mark-It fine markers and Gelly Roll Metallic Pen.

Birthday Voodo by Currie

On this birthday card Currie used Copic markers and Prisma color water colored pencils.  Didn't she do a great job?  I really like the color combination of her card stock.  The card just makes you smile!
Great job Currie.

Currie's Happy Valentine's Day

Well, the day is here to start showing you the great cards from Currie, I am so glad you stopped by to take a look !
I know I should of started Currie's cards yesterday because one of them is a Valentine's Day card, but I had a blonde moment (or a full minute).  Even though it is a day late, it would be so easy to change the words and use it as a birthday or anniversary card.
Check back tomorrow to see another of Currie's card creations!

Currie is our new designer !

I wanted to announce that Currie has agreed to become one of our designers. You will be able to see her creations here.  On Monday, we will start to post her projects.  The other designers are very happy to have her on board, we loved her cards and I think you will too.  I asked Currie to introduce herself, and this is what she wrote.

I really wouldn't know what to write when it comes to the introduction thing. I started making cards with my daughters (9 and 4 years old) as just something fun for us to do together and ended up loving it. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband says I live in my own world. I tend to think that's funny not bad.
Mike is my husband, we have been married 13 years. Madison (9) and Allison (4) are our daughters. Madison is all about rules and being good, Allison is just the opposite. They both are great at art. Allie once drew a perfect self portrait on her stomach with a permanent marker. I love being home with them (even on their worse days). Once in a great while my mom will watch the girls but its rare. I figure if anyone is going to screw them up it's going to be me! Mike works for M. L. Chariter. They do everything from clean up contaminated spills to drill oil wells. We laugh alot and try to find humor in almost everything. I don't like stuffy or up tight, it makes me uncomfortable. Our dog's name is Izzy. She is a chihuahua mixed with a yorkie.

I wish you a wonderful day!!!

Monkey Love Valentine

This is just a quick Valentine I made for Taylor this morning, I need to send it out today.
I used Cuttlebug Swiss Dots for the background on the purple. Everything else was cut out with Spellbinders and colored with Copic markers, I used Smooch over the heart the monkey is on and the small hearts to the right.

Written Love Valentine

Just a quick Valentine card. All of the black lined images are embossed. The pen on the stamp does have a heart on it, but I used small heart stickers over them. The heart on the envelope is colored with Smooch as well as the rose.
