life is good

I have a couple cards to share with you today.

My first card is for this weeks sketch challenge over at Clean and Simple Stamping.

I used a new Unity stamp that I picked up at Anchor Paper a couple days ago along with some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon.

Here is the sketch inspiration for my card.

Next up is a card I created for this weeks challenge over at Sassy Lil' Sketches.

I used papers by Crate Paper, some Websters Pages rose ribbon and SRM Stickers.

The sentiment kind of reflected how I have felt the past week. Prior to this past week I was having a hard time with lots going on in my life and had almost decided to shut down my blog and move on with life.

But for right now I am going to keep it going and I will just see what happens. So if you want me to continue please leave a little blog love as some days I feel as if I am doing this for nothing.

Okay I have blabbered on long enough and will let you continue on with your day.

Enjoy!

happy birthday - ho ho ho

I needed a birthday card for my mother-in-law later this week and thought the sketch over at Sassy Lil Sketches would be just perfect.

I used some new papers from Jillibean Soup along with some Webster Pages ribbon roses that I had been hoarding for awhile.

My next card is for the newest sketch over at 2S4Y I looked at the sketch and saw a Christmas Card in the making.

The papers are from The Little Yellow Bicycle, the snowflake is a Cuttlebug die and the button is from PTI.

 I will be back tomorrow with the newest challenge over at Sasya's Sketches and I am sponsoring them this week and am giving away some handmade wrinkle ribbon and satin flowers so I hope you will stop back.

Enjoy!

merry christmas ~ fall pumpkins

Since my computer was out of commission for 3 days due to problems with our router I am a little behind in posting some of my cards.

My first card is for this weeks challenge over at Sassy Lil' Sketches and it is a sketch challenge which is my favorite kind.

For my card I used BasicGrey "jovial" paper collectioni along with some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon. Sentiment is a rubon by pebblesinc.

My next card is for a couple of different challenges. The first is a sketch challenge over at Flourishes and it also qualifies for this weeks Tuesday Throwdown Challenge which is to use chipboard on your card.

Enjoy!

a true friend ~ thinking of you

I have a couple of cards to share with you today. I made them while chatting with my friend Michelle on Skype.

This first card is for a new sketch challenge I found while blurfing called "sassy lil sketches". It was a good sketch to try out one of my new sentiment stamps, butterfly and seam binding.

I didn't know how to color the butterfly so I took three different colors of glimmer mist and placed them randomly on a sheet of white cardstock and then I stamped the buttterfly image then added some copic markers to some of the areas.

Here is the sketch that inspired this card. If you have time stop by and see what you can create using the sketch.

My next card is for Clean and Simple Stamping and for this one I used some of the PTI 8x8 paper collection "library ledger". I love this collection. One of my favorites. And I added some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon in brown.

Here is the sketch that inspired the card. So much fun and so many possibilities, which is what makes this such an amazing card sketch.

Well that is it for me today. Stop back tomorrow and I will have a couple new cards to show you.

Enjoy!
