This card is for the challenge over at Skipping Stone Designs the sketch this week was the perfect chance to play with my new PTI stamp set "baby button bits". I just love every new set that comes out in this series. I also used a PTI button and BasicGrey "offbeat" paper collection.

Here is another card that I made today while trying to catch up on LOST before the new season starts. I watched all of Season 4 and now just need to watch Season 5 before Season 6 starts.

This card is for the challenge over at Split Coast Stampers.

For this card I used Memory Box Mocha Card with the new "gossamer" papers. I distressed these with Ranger antique linen ink, I used the EK Retro flower punch and ran it through my Big Shot with the Swiss Dots embossing folder, added a PTI vintage button and a pebblesinc. rub-on.

Enjoy!

finally

As some of you may remember I took a class at a LSS during ScrapFest with Julie and Lindsay from Cosmo Cricket. Well since it was a winter themed book I had to wait to get some winter pictures. Well we got a big snowfall during Christmas and Cassie and her Dad decided to build a snowman. A really big snowman.

Since I already had most of the book together all I had to do was add the pictures, some journaling from my label gun and a few more chipboard elements.

Enjoy!

CPS 151

My final card today is for the sketch challenge over at CPS and for this sketch I used my Cosmo Cricket "early bird" mini deck papers and my SU star punch.

Sweet Sunday

It is Sunday and that means time for a new sketch over at The Sweetest Thing and for this card I have pulled out my BasicGrey "Wisteria" 6x6 paper pad, Marvy flower punch, pebblesinc. rub-ons, and some May Arts twine. I sprayed the flower with gold and fully purple

Glimmer Mist and inked the edges of the papers with Ranger distressed vintage photo ink.

Enjoy!

Happy Birthday

Today is my Son Justin's 33rd birthday (when did he get so old) because no way can I have a kid that old. (this has been edited as my wonderful son told me I wasn't that old as he is just 33 not 34)

I used the LimeLight sketch for his card today along with the Monstrosity papers and chipboard element by Sassafrass Lass.

I will be back with a couple more post as I have two other cards I made today while my movie marathon continued. Besides Notting Hill I also watched "Saw VI" and "Defiance". Both excellent movies although totally different movies.

Enjoy!

It has been a tough week here and I am trying to keep my mind and body busy so am having a card making ~ movie watching marathon today in honor of my BFF Jeanne who got her angel wings yesterday.

This first card is for the challenge over at Taylored Expressions. I always love the sketches, but have never participated before.

for this card I am using the PTI simple valentine paper pack & vintage buttons,felt hearts are Martha Stewart, & the sentiment is computer generated.

Enjoy!

bunny love?

This weeks challenge over at Project Tuesday was to make a mini pizza box and decorate it. Well I of course had to use my Penny Black bunny stamp as well as my PTI Simple Valentine paper pack and buttons. I used the label 8 die and ran it through my swiss dots embossing folder.

I just loved how this turned out and will put some valentines candy inside for Cassie Jo.

Enjoy!

rain ~ rain

My card today is for the CCEE Stampers sketch challenge and for this card I used a new digi file called "rain rain" from the cutting cafe. I thought these cute little "wellies" were just too cute.

I also used my cuttlebug "swissdots" embossing folder on the yellow squares. I colored in the wellies with my Copic markers and added a little clear spica glitter to the flowers and then I added some Glossy accents to the rain puddle.

Enjoy!

love you!

Here is a card for the challenge over at CPS this week. I am still deciding if I like the card or not, but since I don't want to remake it will post it for you.

For this card I used some new American Crafts papers from the "craftfair" collection and some thickers, PTI "sweet blush" buttons.

Here is a picture of Micah that his Mom sent me today. He is really into climbing on things. She wasn't fast enough to get the photo of him climbing on Hemi's Kennel, but she did get this one of him trying to get over the baracade they created to keep Micah out of a certain area in the house.

Enjoy!

be mine

This last card for this evening is for the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge  and for this card I am once again using my Simple Valentine Papers and stamp as well as my Penny Black "bunny love" stamp. I used fiskars apron border punch and Cuttlebug valentine embossing folder and colored the bunny with my Tombow markers.

Hope you aren't getting sick of these papers or this stamp as I have a feeling you will see more of it in the coming weeks.

Enjoy!

a little birdie told me

Here is a card for you this evening using the card challenge over at Sketches by Tamara. It is week 3 so that means a card challenge.

For this card I pulled out my Eskimo Kisses 6x6 paper pack and woolies by BasicGrey and some misc. ribbon from my stash, cardstock is Neenah solar white & red linen, border punch is Fiskars.

I may be back with a card or two yet tonight if I get them done. My sketch to do pile is getting kind of big.

me ~ flower crazy!

Okay I probably need some kind of 12 step program that will get me putting something besides flowers on my cards. I think I am obsessed with it lately.

This card is for Card Patterns Sketch 47 and for this card I used some Jenni Bowlin papers as well as PTI buttons and thread, SU leaf die, BasicGrey button, dew drops, & the middle paper on this flower is made from the book "Dear John" by Nicholas Sparks. I just finished reading it about two weeks ago and turned the entire book into flowers. Now I always have a stash ready to go.

Enjoy!

Mojo Monday

Well it is Monday and that means time for a sketch challenge over at Mojo Monday it is week 122 and another awesome sketch to use.

My card today is using papers by Webster's Pages. I love all of them they are 6x6 and are double sided. Talk about fun. I picked up two different collections this past week. These are from the Postcards from Paris collection, PTI button & twine, sentiment is Endless Creations, Sizzix flower and leaf.

Okay that is it for me this morning I need to get ready and head over to Jeanne's house today so I can spend time with her and her family.

Enjoy!

For You

Good evening I have a card to share with you before I go to bed. This is for the FTL 74 over at Clean & Simple Stamping.

For this card I used a Penny Black stamp called "andante" and colored it with my Tombow markers and then misted it with water before stamping. I distressed the edges of the stamped piece before adding pop-dots to it to make it stand out from the base card.

I plan on giving this to my friend Judy who is Jeanne's twin sister. Just to let her know that I am here for her during this difficult time.
