Butterfly Kisses

Good Morning.  I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  This week has flown by for me.

Today is Sunday so it is time for Stempeltraume challenge.  The theme this week is fliepi.  If you are like me you said "What is a Fliepi?".  I had to go back and ask.  I was sent a picture of a mushroom so here is my card of mushrooms.  I got this stamp on sale last year at a LSS.  I love how frilly they look.


So....if you have mushroom stamps ....play along!!  You can win some great stamps!  You should also go to the Stempeltraume blog and check out what the other DT's have done.  They do some amazing work.

The other wonderful challenges this fits are:


Crafty Ann's - Anything Goes -  I love to see these kind of challenges!!  Thanks


Fun with Shapes - Pastels - I love Pastel colors.  I love the light and airy looks of them.


Lilli of the Valley - Here comes summer.  Mushrooms, Butterflies and lady bugs all say that Summer is on the way.


Everybody Art - Pastel Colors - Again, my favorites and I used 3 of my favorites on this card

The Crazy Challenge - Bling..I love bling.  I have glitter on the mushrooms, around the scallop punch and around between the scallops on the edge punch

Crazy for Challenges - Sketch - I thought this fit the image well.  

Incy Wincy - Anything Goes - I guess great minds think alike

The Corrosive - Happy Birthday.  - I liked the saying that came with this image.  It's nice to put something other than just "Happy Birthday" on a birthday card.

AI Factory - Buttons - I bought these Glitter buttons at the CK convention this week.  I like the clear because they go with everything!!

Creative Belli - Birthday!!  -  We all have alot of Birthdays with friends and family so it's always good to have Birthday cards around.

By the Cute & Girly - Celebrations - Birthdays are a great reason to celebrate!

Crafty Angels - Recipe - 1 Ribbon, 2 Papers, 3 Flowers - I love these flowers.  They are such pretty color of Blues.

Handful of Stamps - Look what I got - This challenge was to use something new.  My New on this card is the digi image, flowers and buttons!

Digi Doodles - Anything Goes - I love these themes!!!

Scatter Sunshine

Good Morning.  I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  Mary and I went to the CK convention yesterday.  We had alot of fun.  It wasn't big but it was fun to walk around and see what everyone was selling.  The weather here was beautiful and it was nice to get out of the house. 

Today is the  Stempeltraume challenge.  The weather here has really put me in the mood for this weeks theme of Summerfeeling.  I can't believe Summer is right around the corner.  I chose this digi from Pollycraft  for the challenge.  I have ducks in a pond near me and in the summer is is not unusual that we all have to stop in the road for them to pass.  Some stop right in the middle of the road and just stare at you.  If they weren't so cute it wouldn't be funny but you can't help to laugh when they do this.  I also thought that the yellow and blue were real summer colors.

You should play along.  It's easy to make a card to put you in the mood for summer.  You can win a prize too!  How fun is that!

The other wonderful challenges this fits are:

Friday Sketchers - Sketch.  I thought is was the best sketch for this challenge.


All Sorts - Animals - I love the ducks on this card.

Crafty Catz - Spots - I love polka dot paper. I used both the blue & the yellow on this card.


Your Next Stamp Challenge - Going Dotty - Again, I love polka dots.

Paperplay - Pretty Pastels - I always go to the pastels first.  I really like the blue and yellow combo on this.

Thanks for stopping by.  Thanks to everyone who leaves a message.  I love reading what you have to say.

Weather got you down?

Happy Wednesday!  The week is half over!!  This weekend I am going to the CK scrap convention.  I actually hope it is not great so I don't spend too much $$....but....

This is another card I made Sunday on my day with stamping friends.  I love ducks.  I think Duncan is so cute.

The challenges this fits are:

Sew Many - Anything Goes - This was great because I just picked one of the images I have not colored yet!!

Creative Card Crew - April showers.  I love images that have umbrellas for some reason so I love this theme!

Bee Crafty - Whole lotta fun - You need to use a digi image and have wholes on your project.  I have a punch that looks like bubbles and I used in on my background piece to add to the bubble cuttlebug folder.

Stamptacular - Create something for someone special with sewn effects - Everyone here has been complaining because the weather was going to get cold and rainy.  When I made this card I was thinking about that.  I can send this card to alot of people that are special to me that live in the area and are waiting for the nice weather to come and stay.  I think the bright yellow duck will brighten their day. I put faux stitching  around the edge.

Crafty Calendar - Fun or Humorous - I think this is a fun card.  I mean when do you ever see a duck with an umbrella?

Cute Card Thursday - Sketch - I thought this sketch worked well with what I was trying to achieve.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card.  Thank you to everyone who leaves a comment.  I look forward to reading them all.

Sweet Kisses

Good Morning everyone.  I hope everyone is having a good week.  I have had an awful headcold.  I usually get one bad cold a year and I never had one this winter.  I guess my body decided it would surprise me and wait until Spring.

Today is Tuesday which means Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge.  This week is a sketch.  When I started this card I wasn't sure I would like it but I ending up loving how it came out.  You can use any image you want as long as you follow the sketch and use Basic Grey paper.  Come and join the fun!

Take a look at what the other creative DT's did.

The other wonderful challenges this card fits are:

One Stitch at a Time - Flowers- I found these crocheted flowers I bought a couple years ago.  I thought they would look so pretty with the little roses laying on top of them. 

Nutshells - Spring Theme - I have alot of birds around my home.  I can tell it's Spring because they sing all day long.

Raise the Bar - Favorite Color - I thought that if I did this challenge it would be Blue but Sunday I got together with some friends for a day of stamping and at the end of the day I looked over at the cards I made and every one was PINK.  I couldn't believe I made all the cards the same color. I guess Pink was my favorite color that day.  Actually looking back on my blog, Pink is a favorite alot.

Res - Q - Inspiration - This was a neat challenge.  They linked you to umbrellas for sale and you needed to pick one for your inspiration.  I went right to the one called Pink Flamingos!   

Crafty Cardmakers - Desert Island.  This was fun.  The challenge was if you were marooned on a desert island for 6 months what crafty items would you take.  I went for a day of stamping on Sunday and had all my MUST HAVES with me even thought I would always like to pack up my entire room.  What came with me was CS, DP, Flowers, ribbon, brads, pearls, all my nesties and cuttlebug folders.  This is, of course in addition to stamps and copics to color them.  I brought a bunch more stuff I can't think of right now but the items above are my fav's.

Creative Belli - Die cut shapes - What did we ever do without nesties!!  I love all of them and the ovals and scallops fit this card perfectly

Penny's - Anything Goes - This is a new challenge that I found.  I'm glad they had an open theme so I could participate.

Well I'm going to keep this short.  My head is all cloudy and I need to take some more drugs.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my card.  Thanks to everyone who leaves a comment.  I love reading them.

Happy Birthday

Good Morning.  I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  I am heading off today for a day of stamping with Friends.  These days are so much fun.  The only think I hate is the packing.  I want to bring everything but really try to concentrate on the things I know I will use.  I think I did well this time.  We will see what happens the 1st time I say "I wish I had brought....."

It is Sunday so that means it is a new Stempeltraume challenge.  Today's theme is Animals!  My biggest challenge was what Animal to use.  I decided on this Sassy Cheryl freebie!  I just fell in love with him when I saw it.  We all have animal stamps.  Play along!  You can win a prize for just doing what you love!

The other wonderful challenge themes this card meets are:

Secret Crafter - Distressing - I distressed the edges of the CS.  I think it really looks good with the colors that I chose for this.


Dare you to digi - Flowers - This was easy.  The bear is holding flowers and I added flowers at the bottom.

Simple Doodles - Not a spring Chicken - You need to use something that is old.  Mine are the dew drops.  I bought a whole bunch of these when they first came out and I never use them.  I'm not sure why but they are not something I ever pick up.  The ribbon is also old.  I found it at the bottom of my ribbon holder.  I had just enough to make this bow.

S2G - Spring has sprung with Flowers - At my house one of the things that says Spring are the Bees.  I have a real problem with them every year.  Unfortunetly they are not as cute as the one on this card.  I love the flowers that this bear is holding.  It looks like he just picked them from the garden.

Fab & Funky - Get it all out - These challenges are a challenge for me because I always want to use my new stuff but .... I really needed something different than brads or pearls so I used my dew drops.  I can't remember the last time I put these on a card.  I used 8 on this card which is good to use up some of my stash of them.

Crafty Creations - Distressing - I distressed the CS.  I have always liked a distressing on cads.  It adds texture without adding additional items.  I thought it fit well with this card.

Everybody Art - Sketch.  - I loved this sketch when I saw it.  Once I picked the stamp to use for this weeks challenge I knew I could use this sketch.  I love the way this came out.

Creative Card Crew - Happy Birthday - I thought this would make a cute Birthday card.  The Bear with the flowers reminds me of kids when they pick the flowers in the backyard and give them to you like they are a bouquet of roses. 

A Spoonful of Sugar - Happy Birthday - This is the one time of the year I have no family Birthdays.  I guess this card will go into my file for the future.  It's always good to have them already made.

Pile it on - Spring - Flowers and Bees - Hello Spring!  I love flowers, and hate the bees they attract but this one is cute and can't sting me. 

Stamp with Fun - Animals - I love this little bear.  I couldn't wait to use him!

Thank you for stopping by.  I hope you like my card.  Thanks to everyone who leaves a comment.  I love hearing from everyone.

It's Fun Being a Kid

Happy Tuesday! I'm happy to say we actually saw some sun yesterday!  It is still cool here but that is normal for this time of year in the Northeast US.

Today is the Going Grey with Scrap Creations challenge. The theme today is to use 3 embellishments. My 3 are the brads, ribbon and charm. You should play along! Everyone has embellishments. The challenge this week is sponsored by Stamp N Plus Scrap N. You can win some of these adorable stamps. They have a wide variety of images that will fit everyone's tastes!!  They were kind enough to supply us with images to use in this weeks challenge. I picked this little guy fishing. Isn't he adorable? The minute I saw him I thought he would be so cute with a little scene. You also have a couple more days to join in their Blog Hop and win there too!  All the details are on their blog.

Check out what the other DT's did with their images.

The other challenges this card fits are:

Crazy 4 Challenges - Sketch - Making a scene means making a bigger focal area.  I was happy to see that this sketch would work with this.

Secret Crafter - A Day Out - How perfect!  I never thought there would be a challenge to fit this card so perfectly.

All Sorts - Stitching - I love faux stitching.  Actually I love real stitching better but I'm too lazy to do that.

Quixontic - Heavy Metal - I bought these cute dragonfly charms this weekend and thought one would look cute on this card.

Something Completely Different - D - Dragonfly - I thought a little boy fishing needed a bug on the card so I used my charm

Sweet Stampin - In Stitches - Faux or real stitching or something that makes us laugh.  I went with the faux stitching around the edges of the card.  I thought the card needed something else and the stitching worked well.

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you like my card.  Thanks to everyone who leaves a comment.  It is great to sit and read them.
