Another card to share with you that I created today while watching Season 3 of 'The Tudors'.

I used this weeks sketch from Freshly Made. I was so happy it had the hearts on it as it gave me a chance to play with my newest collection from Crate Paper called 'fourteen'. I just love the colors.

This is the sketch that inspired my card.

So grateful for YOU.

As I stated a few days ago I am doing an early New Years resolution which is to make a dent in my un-inked stamps and dies.

My card today uses a PTI die and stamp set called Lovely Layers. 

I also used papers by BasicGrey from the 'Lucille' collection. I picked mine up at Stamp Your Life.

So do you have anything fun planned for this weekend? I plan on watching some chick flicks and working in the craftroom.

Joyful

I love a good snowman.

I created this card using a new digital image that I picked up over at Bugaboo Stamps. I used papers by doodlebug designs along with letter stickers by Authentique. The circle is embossed with a snowflake embossing folder and then again with the swiss dots embossing folder.

trick or treat

A quick card to share with you that I created for this weeks Freshly Made Sketches.

I love making Halloween cards. I think it is because of the fun bright colors that everyone associates with this holiday.

I used papers by doodlebug from the haunted manor collection. The main stamped image is a stamp I have had forever called trick or feet by Stampendous. The head image is a new one by PaperTrey Ink from tremendous treats: halloween that was released this past month.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Have a great day!

hello

It is going to be another great day here in Minneapolis and I have a card to share with you.

For this card I used some papers from the new  My Minds Eye "the sweetest thing" lavender collection along with a Paper Smooches stamp from the "chit chat" collection. The flower is made using a die from PTI.

I used this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches #47 for my inspiration.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog and as usual your comments are appreciated.

a very happy

I spent a couple hours yesterday making these fun loopy flowers that my blog friend LeAnne showed me how to make.

Aren't those flowers just the cutest thing ever and they take like less than 2 minutes to make.

I used this weeks challenge over at Freshly Made for the inspiration on my card layout.

I chose to go straight across the top row for my card and use brads (I subbed crystals as I don't own any brads), Pink and Flowers. Did you notice the stitching on the card? I have moved my sewing machine closer to my work area and hope to be using it more and more in the coming weeks.

Thanks for stopping by to look.

enjoy your...

I just love the papers in the dear lizzy "neapolitan" collection and knew I wanted to use them along with my newest PTI purchase called "beautiful butterflies".

I used the newest sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches for the inspiration behind my card.

Isn't that just a perfect sketch? Does it make you want to play along with me? If it does please leave me a comment and let me know.

kraft challenge

I have another card for you today that I made for the friendly challenge that Amy and I are doing this week.

After making this card I realized why I don't stamp that often.

I used my new PTI stamp set "rosie posie" along with EAD stickerz and button and twine from my stash.

For inspiration I used this weeks sketch over at Freshly Made.
