with Affection

A quick post this morning before I leave to spend the day with my BFF Jeanne and her twin sister Judy.

This card is for the sketch challenge over at CCEE I have used my new Vintage Valentine papers by Fancy Pants. I love that they are Kraft papers. To them I have added some Ranger distressed Vintage Photo ink and a Heidi Grace Heart Stick Pin.

Enjoy your day and spend it with the people you care about!

Disney Album - Part IX

Here are another layout from my album which is slowly but surely getting done.

I will hopefully have a card for you tomorrow depending on how my morning goes.

Enjoy!

Disney Album - Part VIII

Once I got home last night from my friend Jeanne's house I worked on a couple more pages of this album.

I hope you enjoy and I might be back later with a card to share.

Enjoy!

Let It Snow

I don't really want it to snow here just thought this sentiment suited my card for today.

My card challenge for today is from Mojo Monday sketch 121 and it gave me one more chance to pull out my BasicGrey "eskimo kisses" paper pack.

The snowflake is the Martha Stewart large punch, button & linen thread are form PTI, and the ribbon is from the fabulous Amy.

Enjoy!

Birthday Girl

As promised earlier today here is my card. This is for the CPS Challenge 149 and again I have used my PTI Simple Valentine Papers, MFT Pure Innocence stamp set called My Balloon, BasicGrey button, and I colored it in with markers.

I am really enjoying both this new paper pack and the new stamps. I need to work on my coloring though.

Enjoy!

Disney Album ~ Part VII

I finally feel like I am getting somewhere on this Disney Album. Here are a couple of pages I did last night and this morning.

I hope you are enjoying these and that I am not boring you too much. I will be back later with a card.

Enjoy!

Disney Album ~ Part VI

Here are a couple of pages that I completed very early this morning. Slowly but surely this little 8x8 album is getting done and I can't wait to see how my friend Jenny's daughter Ella likes it.

Although I am not a pink person I really like how this little 2 page layout turned out.

Enjoy!

HUGS & A Give Away

I love this new little PTI stamp that I got in the mail this week she is from the Pure Innocence collection. I can tell I am going to enjoy changing her clothes all the time with different paper collections. These papers are from the BasicGrey "nook and pantry" collection. The sentiment on the outside and on the inside of the card are from The Cutting Cafe set "everyday greetings ~ set 1).

The sketch is for CCCE Stampers which is a new challenge blog for me and it looks like they have a fun group of people playing along with them.

Now onto the Give-A-Way Regina over at The Cutting Cafe is letting me give away this fabulous set which has 18 different sentiments. To be eligible to win just leave me a comment here and on the 16th of January I will pick one lucky winner.

Good Luck & Enjoy!

Disney Album ~ Part V

I finally feel like I am making a little headway with this fun album for my friend Jenny.

Hope you aren't getting sick of seeing the album. I will try and have a card for you tomorrow besides just the album.

Now here is a picture of the beautiful stain glassed crystal bevel snowflake that Jenny made for me in exchange for this album. The picture does not do it justice it is so big and beautiful and I have it hanging in my kitchen window. It measures about 15".

Disney Album - Part IV

Slowly but surely this is starting to come together. Thought I was going to pull my hair out trying to come up with an idea for these two pages. But now that they are done I LOVE them.

I didn't have any patterned paper for the rides so decided to do basic colors that went with my Disney rub-ons. My light hit the picture kind of funny in the bottom photo so disregard that portion.

Enjoy!

NO ~ not another valentine!

What can I say I am in a flower making mode and everything is getting flowers lately.

This card is for the new challenge over at Our Creative Corner they have a new Thursday sketch up and a new Design Team to introduce. I want to say congrats to my friend Rose who is on the DT.

Here is the sketch and my card.

I have used the Simple Valentine papers & Holiday Buttons from PTI, Martha Stewart leaf punch, Marvy circle and dogwood punch, sentiment is PTI Signature Sayings.

Enjoy!

BUTTONS

It is a snowy morning here in Minneapolis and I have a card to share with you. As soon as I saw the challenge I knew it was for me. lol

The Sketch Challenge is from Limelight and the challenge is to use this sketch and buttons. Well you all know how much I LOVE buttons.

For this card I used Neenah natural white & Pop-Tone orange cardstock, Making Memories "autumn splendor", bazzill, PTI dark chocolate buttons & thread. The flower is Marvy punch and on one of the flowers I stamped a hero arts birthday sentiment in sepia ink.

Enjoy!

Disney Album Part III

Okay I have another 2 pages done and thought I would post them. Hopefully, you aren't getting tired of looking at these. I promise to do a card tomorrow.

I really like how these two pages turned out now I just need to decide if I am going to journal around the SWIM picture. What do you think?

Enjoy!

Disney Album Part II

I took some more time today to work on the Disney Album for my friend and here are the next two pages that I completed. So now that makes 4 pages done and about 20 more to go.

I am hoping I can continue to do 2 or more pages done so I can get the book to my friend Jenny while they still remember all the fun they had.

Enjoy!

BOO

I know you are asking yourself why am I doing a Halloween post, well the picture I have happens to work with this weeks challenge over at Sketches by Tamara. This is my first time doing a challenge over here and I think I will be doing quite a few in the coming weeks.

I love this Halloween photo of Cassie Jo and Micah. This is an 8x8 page that will go into Micah's scrapbook and I still need to do one for Cassie's book which is a 12x12.

Enjoy!

Disney Album Part I

I am working on an 8x8 album of a Disney trip that my friend Jenny and her family went on this past September.

These are the first two pages that I completed which are actually the last two pages in the book. I am working from back to front.

My friend Jenny made me a beautiful beveled crystal hanging snowflake for my Kitchen window and I am doing the book for her in return. The snowflake is unbelievable and I will post a picture tomorrow if I can get a good shot of it hanging.

I am really hoping she will like what I do for her as I don't want to return that beautiful snowflake.

enjoy!

be mine

I love the challenge over at Stamps & Smiles this week. The challenge is to make a 3x3 box with note cards. Once again I have used my new PTI papers, stamps and buttons. I plan on giving this to Cassie Jo for Valentines Day and along with the cards I will add some candy and will write little coupons on each notecard. Not sure what the coupons will be good for yet, but probably things like spend the day together crafting, have a sleep over, etc.,

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Enjoy!

Problem Solved (kind of)

Okay I have not found a way to fix the blogspot problem, but have found a way around it. I went back to the old editor for now. It is a lot more of a pain to post but will work until I figure out how to fix the old problem.

My card for yesterday is for the Sketch challenge over at Mojo Monday. I love this Simple Valentine Paper & stamp set from PTI, the sentiment is also PTI from the Signature Greetings set, ribbbon is May Arts and pearls are KaiserCraft.

Enjoy!

Blog Problem

Well I had a card already to post up on my blog this afternoon and now blogspot is giving me a few problems so won't be able to post it today I will be back tomorrow if it works. Don't know what the problem is but have lost the bar on blogspot that lets me upload pictures, attach links, and change fonts, etc., If you have any idea on how to fix leave me a comment.

Super Sketchy Sunday

Today's card is for Day 309 over at 365 Cards. I just love this sketch and thought it would be perfect for the birthday card I need to make my oldest Sister Sharon.

I used BasicGrey "nook and pantry" papers, PTI buttons and stamps "everyday button bits & signature greetings", Martha Stewart leaf punch, and EK Success retro flower punch.

Enjoy!
