and the Colorless Blender to give texture to what I wanted to look like velour fabric.

I always use Hammermill paper to color with my markers!

 

For the pattern papers, I used the new "Delightful" paper stack from DCWV.

A CRINKLE in my weekend!

I thought it would be fun to make a simple card using the new

"Corrugate Stack"

from

DCWV!

 

It's a great little 6 x 6 paper stack that has so many cool colors!

Look for it at your local JoAnn's!

 

 

 

The honeycomb background paper and the quote are from the

"My Sunshine Stack"

and the pretty gold accent strips are

"Everlasting Love".

 

I absolutely LOVE my DCWV papers!

Such wonderful, quality paper at a really reaonable price,

especially with those sales and coupons, Ladies!

Dream BIG!

Here's a fun little card I made with the

DCWV

"Sunday Afternoon"

stack.

 

I love these papers so much and can't resist using them

for everything!

These cheerful colors help me through even the dreariest of times.

 

 

(The adorable ferris wheel is a stamp I picked up a long time ago from the

dollar stamp bin at Michael's!

Same great look and feel as those "name brand" stamps, but for only $1!)

Old Memories...

Going through some old photos and just felt like sharing...

 

My son and his wife. So young!

My Dad... we lost him this past October.

Best Dad ever!

Me and my cousin

My aunt and my Mom.

 

Hayden, who's now 8 years old!

Great Grandma and Grandpa Garber with the only great grandchild

in the family!



Sunday Afternoon with Dustin Pike!

 

I love that the new springtime release,

DCWV paper stack

"Sunday Afternoon"

is so perfect for all of our spring and summer cards!

 

The DCWV April Card Challenge sketch

came in so handy for this project!

 

 

This post covers both of my product challenges for the first of April!

 

Over at

Dustin Pike's Doodle Dragon blog,

there's a new challenge!

 

It's Anything Goes!

 

So, if you have some Doodle Dragon images,

or want to use one of the freebies that have been offered many times over the years,  join in!

 



 

 

This particular image comes already colored and is part of the

February 2011 Members collection.

If you have never looked into Dustin's artwork,

you should!

Whether you get out your markers and color your own,

or do as I did this month and use a ready-to-go image,

you'll find tons of adorable critters there!

 

This card will come in handy for that missed birthday down the road...

 

Thanks for joining me today!

Greetings from

 Die Cuts With a View

and

Doodle Dragons!

Another terrific Sunday Afternoon!

This new stack from
DCWV

has so many elements that you'll want to use every single page!

 

"Sunday Afternoon"

captures all the playfullness and color of Spring and Summer.

 

 

Here I've made three totally different feeling cards, all in a matter of a few minutes!

 

The images and patterns leave all sorts of room for your

creative imagination!

 

Sweet and subtle...

There is an entire page of heart shaped patterns just begging to be fussy cut and made into so many designs.

(I just happened to choose to make a butterfly)

 

 

This one is simple, yet more graphically appealling.

So easy!

 

 

And my absolute favorite... the bright and sparkly foiled red dotted paper with the tickets and Bingo card cut out from the same stack!

 

The versatility of this stack is what draws me to it over and over again! 

 

You can get yours at your local JoAnn's today!
