miss you

It's a challenge week over at A Day for Daisies and this week is all about "favorites". We want to see your favorite ADFD image along with your favorite technique.

I chose 'little striped dress' as my favorite. I think the little girl is adorable and I see many uses for her besides birthday cards. My favorite technique besides coloring with Copic markers is using buttons and stickers for titles that are placed a little bit wonky on the card.

This image just makes me happy. Make sure and stop over at the ADFD blog and check out what other favorites the design team picked.

Now have I got some great news for all of you. Tammy has now got some of her digital images in clear polymer stamp form and they are available in the shop right now. Make sure you check them out here.

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

JINGLE

It's Monday and time for a new sketch challenge over at Merry Monday.  Lesley has decided to go back to all sketches this month and that really makes this girl happy.

Take a look at that sketch! Imagine all the possibilities.

For the month of April I am going to use the same papers and colors for all of my cards. I chose 'snowy day' by Crate Paper as my paper as I love the fun non-traditional colors. Kind of remind me of Spring.

Along with papers by Crate Paper I used 'jolly holiday' by The Alley Way Stamps, My Minds Eye enamel dots and snowflakes by A Muse.

Please make sure and stop over at the Merry Monday blog and check out what the design team has created and also check out who our Guest Designer for the month of April is.

it stinks

Today is the halfway point of our current challenge over at the Scribbles Designs blog and we want to see 'shades of green'.

I used this great 'it stinks' image by Sandy and so much fun coloring the cat and giving him a green tongue because of the current challenge.

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

howdy

This week at Sentimental Sundays we are being sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps and for our challenge we want to see 'shaped cards'.

For this challenge I picked the 'wee ones cowboy' to work with and created a star shaped card as i thought it looked like a sheriffs badge.

I absolutely love how it turned out. I know I shouldn't say that but I can't help myself. I am just 'giddy' about it.

Hope you will join us this week in our 'shaped card' challenge as I can't wait to see what you create.

Make sure you stop over at the blog and check out what the rest of the design team came up with for this challenge.

Sad to say, but this will be my last post as a member of this wonderful design team. After being sick for almost 3 weeks I saw that I needed to let a few of my design team responsibilities go and sadly I will no longer be designing for Sentimental Sundays.

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

enjoy

Wow, I can't believe that March is already over and next week we will be sharing with you the new card kit for April over at Artful Delight.

Before that happens I have one more card to show you that I created using the March kit.

Everything on my card is from the kit. I absolutely love the papers that were included this month along with all the flower die cuts and embellishments. Don't you just love that big brad?

Next week I will reveal the new kit along with my card using the April card sketch. Don't forget to play along as you have a chance to win either the card or scrapbook kit of your choice.

bunny love

Friday and that means a new release from Tammy over at A Day for Daisies. This week is all about bunnies and flowers. I got to use 'bunny in a daisy' image.

This is the first card I have made in 3 weeks since I got hit with that nasty cold/flu bug that was going around. So happy that I was ahead on all my design team commitments.

I used papers from the Dear Lizzy 'lucky charm' collection and some of my handmade crinkle ribbon.

Make sure to stop over at the ADFD blog and check out all of this weeks new images along with what the rest of the design team created.

merry - mm #55

It is the 4th Monday of the month and that means time for a tic-tac-toe challenge over at Merry Monday.

I decided to go straight across the top and use an animal, designer paper and ribbon on my card.

For my card I used papers by My Minds Eye from 'sweater weather', the image is by Whipper Snapper. I added some of my handmade crinkle ribbon.

If you want to check out what the rest of the design team did with this weeks challenge you can find them here.

hello - SS147

This week at Sentimental Sundays we are being sponsored by Meljen Designs and our challenge is we want to see stitching either real or faux on your cards.

The design team was given some adorable images to pick from and I picked Peter Bunny to work with this week.

My stitching is between the two different pattern papers. I just realized you can't really see it unless you look really closely, but it is there.

Papers and embellishments on my card are from the Dear Lizzy 'lucky charm' collection.

I hope you will play along with us this week and make sure to go over to the blog and check out what the rest of the design team created this week.

belated birthday wishes

Have you entered the sketch challenge over at Artful Delight this month? If you haven't you still have time.

We have a great sketch for you to work with this month.

I used the stripe and floral papers from the kit and then added those big yellow flowers that are also in the kit. Such a quick and easy card thanks to this months sketch.

I can't wait to see what you do with our sketch.

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.

29 again?

It's my day up on the Artful Delight blog and I am sharing a card I created using the March Card Kit.

I am totally loving that silver border that came in the kit along with all the paper flowers. Notice that beautiful damask on the big brad.

Another great kit. You can see all the ingredients in this months kit here on the Artful Delight blog.

pinch me - TPE50

This week at The Pink Elephant Scrapbook Challenge our challenge is called "pinch me" which means we want to see the color green on your layout.

This is a picture of Micah from his first birthday. It is one of my favorite pictures and it is so hard to believe that tomorrow/St. Patrick's Day he will be 4 years old.

I hope to see you playing along with us this week. 

I used the March scrapbook sketch from Artful Delight for my inspiration on this layout.

shades of green SD03

(this is my second post today - please scroll down to see my A Day for Daisies post)

Time for a new challenge over at Scribbles Designs and this month we want to see "shades of green" on your projects.

I chose to use Sandy's image 'tree truck' which can be found in the store along with the new images that Sandy is releasing.

For this months challenge we want to see green on your project.

bedhead

To say I love this weeks new release over at A Day for Daisies would be an understatement.

Tammy has released a new collection called Bedheads! I chose to keep my card rather simple and color her with copic markers and then paper piece the dress.

You can see this whole collection along with Samantha's new release called I love rain over on the blog here.

Make sure and check out what the rest of the design team has created with all of the images.

Project Life - Week 10

Here is a quick look at my Project Life pages for Week 10. I am still not good at remembering to take pictures, so thankful that Micah's Mom sends me some or we would all be bored here.

Here is my two page spread. I still cannot figure out how to not get the glare on the left side of the page without the photos being to dark. Will continue to work on that.

Here is a look at Side One. I absolutely love the photo at the bottom where Micah is making the heart for his Mom to take the photo for me. 

I used Washi tape and stamps from the Stamp Your Life Etsy shop which you can find here. Mari has great prices and she ships fast.

Here is side two. As you can see Birdie is back to laying eggs and when this photo was taken she had laid two eggs in two days.

I am also going to take a few pictures around my house showing things that I love each week and this week I am showing in the upper right photo some of my counted cross stitch which I used to be addicted to before I discovered my paper addiction.

If you have questions on anything please send me an email or leave a comment.

A quick card to share with you that I created before I got sick with some kind of cold/crud that is going around.

This is my second card using this weeks sketch challenge over at Seize the Birthday.

It is a great sketch and I see myself using it more in the future.

wishing you - mm #53

Monday and time for a new challenge over at Merry Monday.

This week Lesley has a sketch challenge for all of us.

Sketch challenges are probably my favorite kind to do.

I used papers by My Minds Eye along with a sentiment by Inky Antics. This card went together really quick, which is why I love sketch challenges.

Hope you stop by the blog and check out what the rest of the design team created.
