Enjoy ~ STS26

It is time for a new challenge at Seize the Sketch and I have to admit I love this simple sketch by Katie.

And here is my card.

I used papers from the Indian Summer 6x6 paper pad by WRMK along with my die and stamps from Wet Paint by PTI. I die cut the word out of chipboard and then again out of the papers and glued them together to give it a little bit of dimension with the butterfly.

The butterfly is from a 12x12 sheet of butterflies by SEI.

Make sure you stop over at the STS blog and check out what the rest of the design team created using this sketch.

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

With Sympathy

I had all these odds and ends from leftover projects sitting on my desk for a few weeks now, so today I decided to make a quick card.

I love when a card comes together quickly and all you need to add is a little bit of gold and black splatter to call it complete.

On the inside I stamped with sympathy as butterflies always remind me of that. I will add it to my box of cards that I use.

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

hello

Sharing a card that I made for this weeks challenge over at Simply Less is More.

The challenge is to use masking or stencils on your card.

I used my Memory Box stencil along with some Molding paste and hero arts ink. I also used some vellum leaves from my stash and a butterfly by SEI.

hello...new toys!

Getting new papers and embellishments is like getting a new toy to me.

Don't you just love that doily embossing folder by Crate Paper? I am still using the small hello die and those frames also by CP.

death leaves a heartache

This week over at The Paper Players they want us to make a Sympathy card.

I think sympathy cards along with masculine cards are the hardest ones to make. Usually when I need a sympathy card I use a butterfly and my favorite sentiment stamp along with a butterfly image.

I really love this sentiment and think it goes perfectly with a nice butterfly image. I am always looking for butterfly paper that I can just cut out the butterflies and have them on hand. This one is from an SEI paper that I found about 4 months ago.

 I am not sure who the stamp is by as a pen pal of mine sent it to me years ago and the packaging didn't have a name on it. The set has about 9 different sentiments and all of them are perfect for Sympathy cards.

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

Mr. Snowman

(Please scroll down for my A Day For Daisies post)

Isn't this snowman one of the cutest you have seen in awhile? I got him over at Lori Boyd's Lollipop Shop. Lori is having a "Winter" Challenge on her blog too so I am entering my card into that as well as using the sketch from the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge blog.

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

I have a quick card to share with you that I made using this weeks sketch over at Clean and Simple Stamping.

I used papers by American Crafts from the "peachy keen" collection, sentiment is PTI, flower is by SEI and button is Cosmo Cricket.

Here is the sketch I used for inspiration.

Enjoy!

I have a quick card to share with you today for the newest challenge over at Sasya's Sketches.

For my card I used some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon along with a doily from SEI, feltie bloom from Pebblesinc., and my all time favorite Cuttlebug embossing folder.

My clean and simple card was inspired by this sketch. I definitely am a fan of CAS sketches.

I hope you will take time to play with us during this busy time of year.

Enjoy!

thank you

I have a couple cards to share with you this morning and this first one was created for Card Creations: Favorite Occasions week ~ Thank You challenge in the "Moxie Fab World",

For my inspiration I used today's challenge over at 365 cards which was a recipe challenge called Keep it Simple and here is the recipe to use: 1 blossom, 1 ribbon, 1 button and 1 sentiment.

I love that background embossing folder. I got this one piece of paper from my friend Tami and knew immediately I had to use it on this CAS card. I also used one of my favorite color combinations of pink and brown.

Next I have a card that I made while sitting and catching up on a couple of programs on Hulu TV. It was fun creating a card just because and not for any special challenge or occasion.

Enjoy!

April Fools

Today is April Fools day and my friend Cindy's birthday. It is only a few days before Easter and I have another card to share with you.

This card is for the challenge over at Card Positioning Systems CPS160. Once again I have used my new Karen Foster papers along with some lace and SEI doily accents and a PTI button. Everything except the PTI button can be picked up at Anchor Paper Express.

I won't be playing any April fools jokes on anyone and hope no one plays one on me.

Enjoy!
