T Shape Card

Howdy everyone!  I thought that I'd show you my T Shape card that I made.  Last Wednesday SCS had their tutorial on the T Shape card.  At first I thought "no, I can't do that".  It reminds me of a waterfall card and for the life of me I can not make one of those.  My hands just don't create them.  But I took a look at their tutorial and went to Kim's website (the one who made the tutorial) and I figured it out. 

So you wanna see my version?  Of course, that's what your here for.

Now I love the colors on this card.  I used the new Cherry Cobbler from SU! and some DP that I think has been discontinued called Sweet Slumber.  The card base is 5 1/4" square.  The image is a digi from Pink Cat Studio, and of course it's cuppy cakes.

Now, let me pick this apart for you.  It was my first so I know that it is not right.  The panel that I put on the front is too large, so it hinders the mechanics of the card.  When you pull the slider the front flap does not open all the way.  It's ok I guess, but I know that it's not right so I had to make another card (that I'll show you later).

And I kept getting hung up on the slider.  Every time that I went to push the lever back in it would get caught on the base and front panel of the card.  So I had to make another card and do a little experiment.  Like I said, I'll show you that later.

You've really got to try one of these, they are easier than you think.

Have a great afternoon everyone!

Good Monday Morning

Good morning every body.  I hope that this weekend was wonderful for you all.  It was just beautiful here!  We actually had a BBQ Saturday it was so nice.  It's supposed to be in the low 60's this week ~ and I'm ready for it.  Although it's supposed to rain too.

Have you been working on your St. Patrick day cards?  I've started some.  I have been looking everywhere for some St. Patrick's digi stamps.  I did what I always do every year and wait too long to get new stamps for the holiday I'm working on.  I waited and there was no time to buy some, have them shipped to me and make the cards so I wanted to work with some digi stamps.  I did find a few out there.  The card I'm going to show you was made with some digi's from Pink Cat Studio. 

Now, I've not worked with digi images before so I was not sure how they would turn out - but I think it looks fine.

The image is from Pink Cat Studio and the sentiment is from Whipper Snapper.  In my confetti drawer I had these shamrock coins and I used a large glue spot to adhere it to the card.  You really can't see it in the picture (although you can click on the picture to make it larger) but I used my sakura gel pen on the coins on the image and the sentiment panel for a little bling...

I know this post is short and sweet - but I'm off to create some more and I just wanted to show you these pictures to give you some inspiration.  I hope it worked.

And if you know of any digi sites that have some great images leave me a message and let me know.  I'm really new to the digi image thing and I'd love to see what more is out there!!

Have a super great day!

Please help if you can...

See the cute little image above?  Well it is a new digi stamp from Pink Cat Studio.  One of the design team members Sarah Anderson has lost her little 3 year old son, Henry, to a virus on November 2nd that he was unable for him to overcome.  As a mother I could not begin to understand the pain that this loss must bring. 

Henry loved his local zoo and visited it almost every day in the summer. As a memorial, trees will be planted there in his honor. All proceeds from the sale of this digital stamp, minus Paypal fees, will go to the purchase of a memorial tree in honour of Henry.  Please help, I have.  Let's all do our part for poor Henry and his family.
