Joyful - MM #54

Besides sketch challenges I really love theme challenges and that is what Lesley has for us this week over at Merry Monday.

This week we want to see Snowmen.

For my card I used 'be merry' papers by My Minds Eye along with that sweet snowman image by Inky Antics. Stickers are by Pebbles.

This theme was perfect for me as I love snowmen and am always on the lookout for a cute one.

Don't forget to stop over at the Merry Monday blog and check out what the rest of the design team created for this weeks theme challenge.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

you add sunshine

Saturday and that means it is my day up on the Artful Delight blog.

Once again I have used this months card kit to create a card. I used the Paper Smooches 'bold blooms' stamp set that is in the kit to create this card. I used some of my ink pads along with some gems and twine from the kit and created a little spring card for you.

The sentiment is from my stash everything else is from the kit.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

your friendship warms my heart

I have to say I had fun creating this card today. I used some digital papers that I picked up over at Design House Digitals. There is so much to choose from I didn't know where to start.

I picked up this freebie designed by Karen Funk called 'for the boys'. I love the colors and the patterns in each of the papers.

I added a button and some twine along with a sentiment and my card  was complete.

I used this weeks sketch over at retro sketches as the inspiration for this card. And even if I do say so myself I really like how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today it really means a lot to me.

Happy Fall - CTS#5

I am still working on using all my stamps at least once and this weeks sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch was perfect to use this Fall stamp set by Inky Antics called 'Squirrel'.

I kept the card really simple and stamped the sentiment in ripe avocado and dark chocolate and colored the leaves my my Copics.

Here is the sketch that was my inspiration.

snow buddy revisited

I posted a card yesterday but couldn't show you the inside due to a little mishap with an inkpad so I have redone the card and now want to share it with you.

I added a sentiment to the revised card along with some glossy accents on the holly berries.

Here is the inside of the card. When you open it up a snowman's body is in the fold of the card. This is a a new stamp set by Inky Antics called Penguin Pal and the snowman is made out of honeycomb paper.

I just love this set and am going to be making a few of these for my Christmas Cards to send out to some friends.

I am also entering this into Yvonne's guest designer Erin's Faux Letterpress challenge to use ink in your embossing folder.

Thanks for stopping by. Your comments are appreciated.

all aboard

A couple of cards to share with you today using some new stamp sets I have purchased recently.

My first card uses the new train set and die from PTI along with papers by MME from the "lime twist" collection.

Next up is a new set by Inky Antics "birthday elephant honeyPOPS collection. Isn't he just adorable?

What is fun about this set is that it includes fun images and sentiments for the inside of the card and if you buy the honeycomb papers you can embellish it even more. See how the balloon fans out when you open the card?

We just got these in at the LSS where I work and I know I will probably be buying a few of these in the near future.

I want to wish a Happy Mothers Day to all my friends here.

Enjoy!
