Happy Wishes

Good Morning! I hope everyone is have a good week. It is starting to warm up here and I am loving it.  Spring and Fall are my 2 favorite seasons.  Not too hot and not too cold.  Yesterday hit 72 degrees!!!  I shut off my heat and opened my windows!  I was sad when it got cooler later in the day and I had to close up the house and put the heat back on.  The good news is I should be able to do the same today!!

This week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations we have a fun and easy theme.  Ribbon and Pearls!!  These are some of my favorite things to use on a card.   As you know if you follow me, I love girly images and paper so Ribbon and Pearls were perfect for me!  Pull out those ribbons and pearls and play along!

Sweet Little One

Good Morning!



Today I am honored to be DT & Guest DT at the same time.  This weeks challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations is to Pop It Up!  I love popping up things on my cards.  This week I choose all they layers.  Each layer is popped up which gives it great dimension. 


A couple of weeks ago I won over at Use It Tuesday and won a guest DT spot!  The theme is All About Baby. I love that you have to use your hoarded supplies to play!  I have a hard time cutting my favorite ribbon or sending out cards with my favorite charms etc but it was fun to use these and see how beautiful they are on cards.   Lili of the Valley makes the prettiest new baby stamp which I have used on this card.  I have not made a baby card in years so this was a challenge for me but I like the way it came out.


Pull out those baby stamps, pop them up and use your hoarded supplies and play in both challenges!!  I had alot of fun making this card and I am sure you will too!

First Valentine...

Good Morning!  Hope everyone is well.  We had 2 day's with snow this past week.  Friday we had a couple inches and Saturday we had a bigger storm. There wasn't alot of snow (~5 inches) but there were accidents everywhere on the roads.  Unfortunately this was the day a bunch of friends were getting together to stamp.  I was packed, had put my stuff in the car and then I sat watching the snow.  We finally decided to postpone.  It was disappointing but I don't like driving in the snow and I know I would be worried about getting in an accident so it was for the best. 

Today is Tuesday so that means another great challenge at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations.  Today we have a sketch.  I don't know about you but I am always looking for new layouts.  I had to modify this a little because I couldn't make a triangle but I think (hope) I stayed true to the sketch.

Happy Tuesday.  Do you believe tomorrow is June 1st.  Time sure does fly.  Did you have a nice long weekend?  I did.  I did some shopping with my sister and Niece, got my flowers bought and planted and even got some crafting done!  I wish every weekend was 3 days long.

I love today's challenge theme for Going Grey with Scrap-Creations.  It is a color challenge and the colors are Blue, Yellow and Green.  This gave me a really good reason to use some ruffled ribbon I have.  I love it but it doesn't fit every card.  I thought it was great for this one.

Dreaming.....

Good Morning.  I hope everyone had a nice weekend.  One of the things I did was to make this card.  I had this image colored and loved the way it came out.  I knew I had to make a card with it before it got mixed in with other things and ended up getting ruined.  I also wanted to use my new Prima paper.  It is so delicate and pretty.  It is definitely my kind of paper.  I wanted to create a really soft and girly card.  I hope you like how this came out as much as I do.

I would like to add to any followers or visitors today from Japan that my thoughts are with you.  I work for a Japanese company and my boss, his boss and some other friends were in Japan last week.  I work with alot of Japanese here and overseas.  My heart breaks when I see the images on TV.  Mother Nature can be cruel and I am sorry you are going through this.  

The wonderful challenges this card fits are:

Merry & Bright

Good Morning.  I hope everyone is having a good week.

This weeks challenge idea for Going Gray with Scrap-Creations is 3D.    I had this image colored for a few weeks and couldn't wait to use it.  I decided it would work for this challenge.  I cut out the shopping bag, the dog, the bow and then cut out the box with the dog one more time.  Once the card was done I decided it needed more 3D so I popped up the snowflakes.  Here is a pic showing the items popped up.

You need to take a look at the wonderful cards the other DT's made for this challenge.  The list is on my sidebar.  They really outdid themselves! 

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:

Fresh Brewed - Girly - I think this card is very girly with the fancy outfit and, of course, the shopping bags!

The Creative Cottage - Bling - I don't know how well it shows up but there is glitter everywhere on this card.


Hanna and Friends - XMAS - I love this XMAS stamp from Lili of the Valley.  I have had my own shopping mishaps over the years so it makes me smile.

Glitterbabes - Anything Goes - I love to see these challenges, especially when I like my card and I do like this one.

Our Creative Corner - Sketch.  I was looking for a sketch that could handle this image and I was thrilled when I saw this one.  I knew it was perfect.

Alphabet Challenge - X=XMAS - I think this makes such a pretty XMAS card.

Stamp Something - Something Punchy - I love my punches.  I really like this snowflake one!

Sweet Stampin - Bling - I love glitter and I think that is one of the reasons I like this card so much.  There is alot of glitter on it.


Crafttalicious - Anything Goes - My favorite theme!!!  Thanks.

Gingerloft - Glitter or Bling - There is lots of glitter on this card.  I love glitter!

Paper Players - Real Red, Basic Black & Whisper White - I never seem to be able to fit color challenges.  I was so happy to see this combo!

The Crafty Pad - Make something for a friend - This will be a card for one of my friends.  I haven't decided yet whom but I love it and want to share it.


Lollipop Crafts - 1 DP, 2 Stamps, 3 Emb. - My card meets all these requirements.

My Partner in Crafting Crime - Sparkle - I love glitter and have alot on this card.

A Spoonful of Sugar - Winter Wonderland - I love making Winter cards.  There are so many things you can do with them.

Winter Frost

Good Morning. I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  It it beautiful here.  It is crisp, cool weekend and I love it!  After the hot summer I am enjoying this.

Today is Stempeltraume's challenge.  The theme today gives you a choice.  You can use a Tilda stamp or use the color brown.  As hard as it is to believe, I don't own any Tilda stamps so I decided to use Brown.   With the cooler weather I was in the mood to make a XMAS card.  This is one of the Lili of the Valley XMAS stamps.  Isn't she pretty?  The background paper is digi paper from Jak Heath.  It is beautiful and I couldn't wait to use it.  I also used my Viva Pearl pen on this card.  I need some more practice with it to keep the pearls a uniformed size but I do love the pen.

If you have a Tilda stamp play along!!  If not, brown is a great color for Fall and, as I used it, an accent for XMAS and winter cards so come join the fun!

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:




Charisma - XMAS - I love XMAS cards that sparkle and I think this would make a great XMAS card.

Daring Cardmakers - Opal & XMAS- Opal is such a pretty color.  I think my pearls give off the same creamy white that opals do.  I think this would make a great XMAS card!

Catch the Bug - Anything Goes - I do love this theme!!

Friends

Good Morning.  I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  This is the last day of my vacation.  Tomorrow it is back to work but vacation was wonderful.  The spa treatments were great, the food was amazing and we got some shopping done at the outlets.  I just wish I could have stayed longer.

Today's theme at Stempeltraume is Bows!  A nice and easy theme that everyone should be able to play in.
I wanted a simple bow so I put the flat bow on the side of the card.  I was playing around with it and realized that if I made alot of little bows it would look like a flower so that's what I did.

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:

Karber - Card for girls - I love this image from Lili of the Valley and wanted to use it.  I love the 2 little friends sharing some tea.

Papertake - Inspiration - I choose the colors of pink, blue, purple from the picture.

Tuesday Throwdown - Distressing - I distressed the CS on this card.  I thought it added some dimension the card was missing.

Creative Belli - Embellishment starting with B - I put my sparkly buttons on this card.


ABC Challenge - Distressing - I like the distressing on the CS.  I think it fits the card.

For Fun - Glitter.  My buttons have glitter in them and I put glitter on the flowers.

Sarah Hurley - Polka dots and circles - My DP and ribbon has polka dots and my buttons are my circles.


Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch - I thought this Sketch worked really well for this challenge/image.

Alot Rubber Stamps - Do it yourself flowers - I made my flower from the ribbon.

Raise the Bar - Something Yummy - It is getting cooler in the NE and I love to have a cup on tea on a cool day so that is my Yummy.


Ellephantastic - Handmade flowers - I made my flower from Ribbon

Fairy Fun

Good Afternoon.  I usually don't post 2 cards in one day but I go back to work tomorrow and will be very busy catching up so I decided to post this today.  One of my new addictions are Lili of the Valley stamps.  They are so incredibly cute.   I love this Fairy.  I couldn't wait to color and glitter her up so yesterday this was one of the first cards I worked on. 

The wonderful challenges this card fits are:

Lili of the Valley - Sketch.  I saw this sketch and knew that this would be the stamp I would use!

Our Daily Bread - Punches or dies - I love my spellbinders and used them for the circles and the swirls on this card.

Andreas Stampin Moments - Simply Square - I only make square cards these days.  They are easier to decorate than the smaller cards.

Alice in Wonderland - Sparkles - I do love my glitter!  I used it on the wings, the flowers and the swirls!  There is also glitter in my ribbon.

Pixie Dust Studios - Polka Dots - I have polka dots on my blue DP.

Paperplay - Pink! - I love pink.  Half of this card is pink.

Paper Cutz - Anything Goes - I love this theme!!!

Moving along with the Times - Glitter - I love glitter!  I put it on just about every card.

Wild Flowers Patch - Polka Dots  - I really like polka dots!  My blue DP has polka dots on it

ABC Challenge - Blue - My favorite color!  I love the blues on this card.

My Time to Craft - Glitz & Glitter - This card screamed out for Glitz & Glitter.  Maybe that is why I like it so much

Creative Card Crew - Sparkle and Shine - I love when my cards sparkle and shine!

Ooh La La - Spots & Dots - My blue DP has polka dots on there.

Paper Pretties - Summer - I think this Fairy smelling the flowers and the soft colors on this card say Summer.

Digi Doodle's Shop Best - Anything Goes - I love this theme!  It fits anything I want to do

A Pocket Full of Posies - Glitter - I am so glad there are glitter challenges this week.  I love the glitter on this card.
