happy birthday - STB #2

It's week two over at Seize the Birthday and this week we are using the same sketch as week one but making a masculine card instead.

I always need little boy birthday cards so decided to use one of Lori Boyd's images 'puddle jumper dress-up landon' along with papers from the Lime Twist collection by My Minds Eye.

Once again here is the sketch we are to use for our inspiration.

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

Love YOU Bunches

It is time for the 2nd challenge over at By Lori Designs and it is once again a color challenge.

For my card I used one of Lori's puddle jumper images called Harper. She comes with her own little doll and sentiment too.

The inspiration for my card came from this weeks sketch at CPS.

I hope you will play along with us this week.

Enjoy!

oh happy day

Have you heard the news? Lori Boyd is now doing challenges and today is our first one and it is a color challenge.

I didn't have any patterned paper that included all 4 colors in this challenge so I decided to pull out some of my cardstock and go from there. Along with the cardstock I used a large Sizzix Alpha embossing folder.

This cute image is "elliot the elephant" and he is available at the store here.

I hope you will take time to play along with us in our first color challenge.

Enjoy!



congratulations

Meet Dottie Spoonful byLORidesigns she is one of the newest digi families to join all of Lori's other creations and this line is created by Lori and her Mom.

My card was inspired by the sketch challenge this week over at Techno Stamper.

Thanks for stopping by to look and I will be back tomorrow with this weeks challenge at Sasya's Sketches.

for on to us

I apologize for all the post the last couple days but Lori Boyd has been creating up a storm and when I see her images I can't help but want to make a card or two or ten.

This is another of her new Christmas images "nativity" puddle jumpers available here.

I apologize the photo isn't the greatest but it is dark outside and there is not a lot of light in my craftroom. In the background on the card you can see my new hero arts stamp I got in the mail today "fabulous flourish". I could not wait to ink that stamp up. I used another Martha Stewart snowflake, some twine and a button along with some of my wrinkle ribbon.

Enjoy!

Stop  back tomorrow for the newest challenge over at A Day for Daisies.

merry ~ merry MTSC100

I have a couple of cards for you today using some more of the new releases byLORidesigns. My first card uses Lollipop Tanner and Christmas Tree which were just released.

This card was inspired by this weeks sketch over at Lord Have Mercy and along with the great sketch I used my new Echo Park "everybody loves christmas" papers and some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon. Wasn't so sure about the pink but I think I like it.

This next card is a just because I love the image card and wanted to color it up right away. This is also one of Lori's newest releases called "snow family" and it can be found here.

Along with the image I used a Sizzix embossing folder and some more of my handmade wrinkle ribbon, a couple of martha Stewart Snowflakes, and some bakers twine from the twinery.

What do you think of this cute little family?

Don't forget you have until Sunday to enter my birthday give away for some of my handmade ribbons. I just counted and I currently have about 20 different colors in stock.

Enjoy!

New Kids on the Block

No not the boy band. Lori Boyd has done it again and has released some awesome images over at The Lollipop Shop.

So lets meet the kids.

First up here is Lollipop Abby and to create my card I used this weeks challenge over at Techno Stamper. You will notice that I did not use any patterned paper for this card and it isn't because I didn't want to, it was because I don't have a good selection of red, white, and blue papers. Can you recommend some?

Here is the sketch from Techo Stamper that inspired my card.

Next up meet Landon Puddle Jumper who is one of the newest stamps byLORidesigns that have been turned into a digital image and available exclusively here.

This is the sketch that inspired by my card and a new challenge sketch blog for me called Stamping 411. For this card I pulled out my "oliver" papers by BasicGrey and my "just the ticket" stamp set and die from PTI.

Last I want to introduce you to baby addy and she is a "sweetpea"! Yep, a brand new collection from Lori.

Sorry for the long post but I wanted to get all of these NKOTB in one post as I have more stuff to share with you. Think Christmas.

Scroll down for my Sasya's Sketches card.

Enjoy!

I figured I should get these extra cards sitting on my desk posted before the deadlines since I already missed a couple due to my computer being on vacation.

This first card is for a couple challenges with the first one being the sketch challenge over at  ESS #107  and I am also entering it in a new challenge blog that a friend told me about called Raise the Bar and their challenge this is called Oh Baby so they want to see some little cuties used on our cards and mine definite qualifies for that.

Don't you just love this new image by LORi Designs called "Girl with Stroller". I love that you can give them any kind of clothes you want just by coloring with Copics or adding paper piecing. The sticker is from SRM and the flower is Making Memories.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.

Enjoy!

So without further comment here they are.

 baby micah

 baby nora

I created a couple of cards since I could not wait to play with them. This first card is for this weeks challenge over at Mojo Monday. I used a couple of Cuttlebug embossing folders along with some May Arts ribbon.

This next card is for this weeks challenge over at Techno Stamper and for this card I used a new Sizzix embossing folder. I love how some of the new ones are horizontal now. I added some of my handmade wrinkle ribbon.

I hope you enjoy! Stop back tomorrow for my card for this weeks challenge over at Sasya's Sketches.

introducing the wagon tale series ~ ESS106

If you have not heard yet Lori Boyd introduced a brand new series of digis yesterday called "The Wagon Tale Series" and they will be sold exclusively at By LORi Designs.

I created my first card using this weeks sketch over at Eat Sleep Stamp using papers by BasicGrey from the "pyrus" collection, buttons are PTI "autumn". I added a little glossy accents to the pumpkin.

So let me introduce you to PJ Henry and Sam & PJ Katie and Grace who are actually Puddle Jumpers but not as toddler like so they will be known as PJ's.

Aren't they just adorable? When you buy one of these digis you will get two versions. One version will have just plain pumpkins in the wagon and the other version will have pumpkins with a face.

Lori says she is looking forward to adding to Wagon Tale Series and adding all kinds of things that can go into the wagon.

Enjoy!

baby, it's cold outside brrr...

Oh how true is the above statement. Our weather here in Minnesota is cold, wet and windy. A good day to stay inside and catch up on some shows I watch and create some cards.

My first card is for the challenges over at Friday Sketchers and it also qualifies for this weeks challenge over at Tuesday Throwdown where the challenge was to make the sentiment the focal point of your card.

I am loving these stickers from SRM as well as this new 6x6 paper collection from Memory Box called "tinsel". Don't you just love "ballet mouse" byLORIdesigns?

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.

I hope you enjoy!

presley ~ happy birthday

I have a couple cards to share with you today and the first one is for this weeks challenge over at Eat Sleep Stamp and I have used digital Lollipop Presley byLORIdesigns on my card.

My card was inspired by this sketch and I used some BoBunny papers. Notice the cute watermark on my card. That was made by the amazingly talented Lori for all of us design team members.

Enjoy!

Stop back tomorrow for my card for the newest challenge over at Sasya's Sketches.

how cute is this???

Isn't this card just adorable? It was created by Lori Boyd.

She used Lollipop Princess, Lollipop Avery (the Ballerina) and a smaller sized (to be a little sister) Lollipop Bumble Bee....added a few "Trick or treat" Bags and Voila...a threesome ready for Halloween Fun!! Lori said she may cut it up for a scrapbook page. She is so clever. What a great way to recycle cards.

The best part part is that she is having a sale and with a $10 purchase you get this "little bags" for free. But hurry as this gift with purchase ends October 31st!

Enjoy!

hello

I have a quick card to share with you before Justin and I head out the door for his swim therapy at Courage Center.

My card is for this weeks sketch over at Card Patterns and I decided to use up some of my digital images byLORIdesigns that I had colored a few weeks ago and they were just laying on my table waiting to be used.

Stop back tomorrow and I will have a new card to share.

Enjoy!

it's not the years ~ lollipop princess

Hope you all had a great weekend I know we did here in Minnesota it was record setting temperatures. We had the heat on in the house a week ago and we have had the air on again this weekend.

I have a couple cards to share with you today and the first one is for Tuesday Morning Sketches. I hate to admit it but I LOVE my card. Is that too forward for me to say?

I used papers from The Girls Paperie "tinsel and twig" collection the ribbon roses are from Webster Pages. I love how you can just cut the ribbon into individual flowers. Here is the sketch that inspired me.

My next card is for this weeks Techno Stamper and I have turned the sketch to fit my image. The image I used is from the new release over at The Lollipop Shop.

Don't you just love Princess Lollipop? I paper pieced her with BasicGrey "Olivia" paper and colored her with Copics. The embossing folder is one of the new Cuttlebug 5x7 folders. Once again here is the sketch that inspired my card.

If you want a chance to win all the new digital releases byLORIdesigns check out my post from yesterday.

Enjoy!

MTSC93 ~ beep beep

While I was watching GLEE today I decided to whip up a little card for the newest challenge over at Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. It also gave me a chance to play with one of my digital images I had not played with before.

This is Ethan byLORIdesigns and he is available at The Lollipop Shop. Isn't he adorable with his cute skaterboy haircut and board?

This is the sketch that inspired my card.

We are enjoying beautiiful fall weather here in Minnesota and the trees are starting to turn beautiful shades of orange and gold. I will be spending tomorrow with Micah and am hoping to walk to the park and enjoy the nice weather.

Enjoy!
