Oh Happy Day

There is a new challenge up over at Claudia and Company and I knew I had to play.

The challenge is to create a card using red, green and yellow.

For my card I used papers from the "modern homemaker" collection by October Afternoon along with my stamp girl with kite designed by Lori Boyd for Claudia and Co.

I had so much fun making this card. The card shape is a nestability die and the circle is embossed with a SU embossing folder called square lattice.

Enjoy!

TMS#60 ~ and just because card

This is my second post for today since I have a few cards on my craft table that I have not shared with you yet.

I decided to do this weeks challenge over at the Tuesday Morning Sketches and this week we were  to use handmade flowers on our card or layout. This was perfect for me as I had this muslin rosette just sitting on my table waiting to be used somewhere, I had made two of them a couple weeks back and only used one on my garden scrapbook layout.

Along with my handmade flower I used papers from basicgrey "pyrus" collection, some may arts ribbon, SU leaf and my labels 8 nestability for the shape of the card.

I distressed the edges of the BG paper to give it that shabby look like the muslin flower.

My next card is a just because I wanted to make a card using my new stamp that I won from Claudia and Company for being last months blog hop winner. Don't you just love Birthday Lily? She is one of the puddle jumpers created by Lori Boyd.

I had so much fun coloring her in and adding the glossy accents to parts of her dress, balloon, and present.

Enjoy!

Claudia and Co. Challenge #4 "Red"

This months challenge over at Claudia and Company is to use Red on your card. It can't get an easier than that.

For my card I used lollipop Hannah who happens to be one of my favorite lollipops.

For my card I used a cuddlebug embossing folder, american crafts and may arts ribbon, and a button from basicgrey.

If you have time stop over at Claudia and Company and check out all the little lollipops by lori boyd. You are sure to fall in love.

Enjoy!

Oh HAPPY Day!

I just love this little "girl with kite" stamp by Lori Boyd and how perfect for this weeks challenge over at Claudia and Company.

Of course the October Afternoon "go fly a kite" papers were perfect for this image. Here is the sketch that inspired this card.

Finally, it is a beautiful day here in Minnesota. The sun is shining, the humidity has headed south and a beautiful breeze is blowing.

Enjoy!

congrats ~ peaceful ~ joy

I have been making cards and have a  few cards that I can share with you today. The others will be shared with you next week for my design team obligations.

This first card uses another of those fabulous Lori Boyd digital images "baby kate" and she is available through Claudia and Company. I used her for the challenge over at "a crafty little place" and this weeks challenge was to use a manilla tag on your card or layout.

For this card I used some scraps of baby papers that I had in my baby girl file, white wrinkle ribbon, basicgrey buttons, amd may arts ribbons.

My next card is for this weeks challenge over at Get Sketchy. They are having a DT call right now.

For this card I used some of my "mistletoe" collection from Memory Box, tiny type stickers from Cosmo Cricket, SU bird punch, and button from PTI.

And here is the sketch that inspired my card.

My last card is for the challenge over at CCEE this was another fun challenge and I decided to do another Holiday card.

I used the memory box "mistletoe" collection for this card too, along with a PTI die, A Muse stamp, and some kaisercraft pearls.

Here is the sketch.

Okay, I am heading out of my craftroom and down into the air conditioned part of the house. I am so ready for cooler fall like weather.

Enjoy!

have a nice day ~ ssd#37

I was so excited to see that Skipping Stones Design is now back from summer break with a new sketch challenge for us.

So no more chatting let us get to the card and the sketch.

As soon as I saw this sketch I knew that I was going to incorporate my newest digi lollipop purchase ~meet Emery. Isn't she just the sweetest? She is available through Claudia and Company. I have fallen in love with these Lori Boyd images and they are available in Stamps as well as Digital images.

Enjoy!

life is a beach...

It has finally cooled off here today and the humidity is almost non-existent. Now that is probably because it is grey, cloudy, and rainy outside.

I got a new stamp in the mail yesterday that I had won from Claudia and Company and it is Christian who is one of Lori Boyd's "puddle jumpers". I think they are so cute and it worked perfect with some scraps of paper I had sitting on my desk.

The inspiration for this sketch besides this cute little image was the sketch over at Pals Paper Arts.

Enjoy!

Just a quick post this morning before I head out to work at Anchor Paper.

I have been busy as a bee making different colors of the wrinkle ribbon and thought I would share a picture with you.

If you are interested in purchasing some leave me a comment or send me an email and I can give you the information.

Okay, since I had all this fabulous ribbon sitting here in front of me I had to use it on a card so decided to use it on the card for the July challenge over at Claudia and Company. This months challenge was to use pink and aqua.

Isn't the image of this little boy just the cutest? I bought this over at Mo's digital pencil.

My scrapbook layout is for an 8x8 book I am doing of some of  Micah's baby photos.

The layout was inspired by the sketch challenge over at Design Dollies Sketchday.

I sprayed my page with two different colors of glimmer mist and although it isn't the exact look I was going for I think It turned out okay. t I need to figure out how you get the splotches instead of the full spray so  I will have to work on that.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my blog.

Enjoy!

It is Sunday and I am going over to help a couple of friends clean out a craftroom. This should be fun as I haven't seen them in awhile and am really looking forward to it.

While blurfing a few days ago I found a couple of new sketch challenges to try out.

This card was inspired by the sketch challenge over at Claudia and Company. The sketch was created by Lori Boyd who does the adorable "lollipop" stamps.

My next card is also for a new sketch challenge I found and this one is at The Greeting Farm blog.
