Congratulations!

Good Morning!! I have some more exciting news! Kristen from Scrap Creations has decided to run a weekly challenge! It will be called Going Grey with Scrapcreations! Every Tuesday she will post a challenge with a theme. You will then make a card with that theme using Basic Grey paper. Today is the 1st challenge. The theme is Celebration in honor of celebrating this exciting new endeavor. You will have until the following Monday at 6 PM EST to participate. Hopes Stamps Eternal has kindly offered to sponsor this weeks challenge. One lucky winner will receive a pack of kioshi, and Green at Heart Basic Grey paper!!! These are new Basic Grey 6 x 6 paper packs that I am drooling over. I can't wait to get them and you could win them!


Kristen has asked me to be a part of her DT team. I am honored. She has put together a team of very talented ladies. You really need to check them out.

Last Saturday some friends got together to stamp at my friend Pia's house. Pia pulled out alot of her new stamps and I thought this Penny Black would be perfect for Kristen's first challenge. I wanted the stamp to Pop so I glittered the animals and put crystal effects on the balloons. The stamp turned out to be bigger than I thought and I was concerned it wouldn't fit on my card but it just made it.

I was so concentrated on my 1st card for the challenge I only found a couple other challenges this fit.

Truly Scrumptious - Sketch. I really liked this sketch. I thought I would be cute with this image.

Cupcake Craft - Flower Power. I have my flowers on the bottom, small flowers in the grass and flowers on my DP.

My Time to Craft - Kidz Kardz - This card would be such a cute kids birthday card

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card. I love hearing what you think. I read and cherish all your comments.

Dreams

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. It has been so busy. What happened to the lazy days of summer? Of course the weather doesn't say summer either. It was 57 degrees when I got up this AM.

This is my last card that I have to post from my Vermont trip. I guess I have to get some stamping done. I have been so busy lately I have not had the time to stamp. I have to make a couple graduation cards in the next couple of weeks but other than that I can just make what I want. Hopefully I will find the time. I have new toys that I bought at the Heirloom convention last weekend that are calling to me. I also haven't been doing any challenges which I miss.

This Stamp is from a Clear Art set that I have. I like their stamps. They have alot of detail for clear stamps. I use the words from this set alot. The butterflies are Penny Black. Of course I used my cloud maker. I hope you can see the clouds. My camera batteries died and I don't have any here to replace them so I had to scan the card.

Good Morning! Happy Thursday! I hope everyone is having a good week. Did you get your taxes done? I have been really busy the last couple of days so I can't wait for the weekend! I really need to start thinking about what I am going to bring to Vermont for the weekend of stamping. I have a pile of stamps pulled out but have not decided what's coming yet. I got my 1st Sugar Nellie stamps today! YEAH!! I love new rubber!

This is the card I made for Mary Jo's sketch challenge. Isn't this little guy cute!
I love this DP from SU but really had not found a card that I wanted to use it on until now. I like the combo of Rose Red and Pink but don't use it much.

Well I hope everyone has a good day. Thanks for visiting.

Regards,
Peggy

Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone! I am looking outside and it is pouring rain. It is only 39 degrees. Tomorrow is suppose to be sunny but only a high of 44 degress. Not exactly weather I think of for Easter. What ever happened to the warm Easters? It seems every year it is cold. Maybe it was always cold but I was younger and it just seemed warmer?

This is the card I made for my Mother. The fist card I made and gave to someone was to my Mother on Easter. I don't even remember how many years ago it was. Maybe 5? If someone had told me I would still be making cards I would not have believed them. I have a closet full of "crafts" I never stuck with. This one is definetly addictive.

I bought this clear Penny Black set because I thought this bunny was so cute. After I colored her and stickled the flowers on the hat I thought it made the Prima's seem dull so I put shimmerz on them. I really like the Happy Easter. I bought it in the $1 bin at AC Moore. You can't beat the deal.

Thanks for visiting. I hope everyone has a Happy Easter.

Happy Easter

It's a dark and dreary day here today so I decided to post a bright card. This is one the of cards I made for Easter. I love ducks!

I colored the duck and flowers with shimmerz so the card is bright IRL. I bought this duck a while ago but this was the 1st time I had used it. It was sitting here colored but I was waiting for the spring DP to come out so I could find some with bright yellow in it. I was happy when I found the stripes. The yellow in it is not really bright but it is a real yellow where most of the papers had yellow with an orange base.

I glittered the brads too so they would pop and go with the duck and yellow CS. I hope this card makes you smile and brightens your day! Thanks for visiting!

Spring is Here

You wouldn't know the Calendar says Spring today. It is only 31 degrees outside. BRRR...The good news is that it isn't snowing.

I made this card for Kerry's Thursday challenge. I have so much old DP and this forced me to use it. I always go with the newer paper when making a card. I used a piece of paper (Melissa Frances with flowers) that I bought just because I thought it was pretty and a piece of paper from Paper Pizazz that was in a book of coordinating paper that is suppose to look like leather. I thought when I bought the book that I would be using it all the time but it never seems to fit or match other papers I was using so I still have the whole book. When I saw the challenge I thought of this book and wanted to find a way to use some of it.

I didn't want to just put the Nestie circle in the middle of the card so I cut the circle in half and put on each side of the strip. I like how it came out. I still love using nesties but I am trying to find more creative ways to use them.

I hope everyone is having a great Monday. Thanks for looking.
