HAPPY NEW YEAR

Hello fellow bloggers. I know that it has been a while since I posted anything. But, I tell you life is funny that way. No matter how much you may want to do something. There is always something that gets in the way. All is good and the Christmas holiday has come to an end. I was able to spend time with my family and for this I am very grateful. I got some really good crafty gifts for Christmas and a new photo Printer (the canon selfy) which I am learning to use.  So, soon I will be posting some of my scrapbook pages.

Today I am here to post a card that I made it is very simple using the corrugated card base from Recollections and a Scarlett image from Bugaboo Stamps. I colored it with my copics and used Spellbinders dies to cut my mats.

The papers are from Prima En Francais. Gorgeous papers and I feel no need for a lot of embellishments. I hope you like my card and I will be back soon with another project.

IT'S BEGINNING TO LOOK A LOT LIKE AUTUMN

Good morning bloggers. Another Saturday morning and time to get some crafting in. It is still hot here and I am looking forward to some 70 degree weather. But, fall is in the air in lots of places and I do love the colors of fall.  So today's card incorporates some of those colors.



The card stock for this card is from Recollections also. The Thankful for everything stamp is Inkadinkado. I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder (birds and swirls). The image is from Inktegrity, The pumpkin on the bottom is from K and Company. I colored the image with copics, E33, E27, YG61, YG67, YR02, YR15, YR14 and I used the stardust glitter pen from gelly roll. I used Tim Holtz distress ink on the card base (vintage photo). So that is it for this card, I will be back soon with something new.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Saturday Bloggers,
I am back with another post and a Happy Birthday wish for one of my granddaughters. I am a little late but, hey better late than never. I was sitting around last weekend thinking that I had been late getting everyone of my cards made this year. So, I decided to make up a batch of cards in advance so that I would have them ready when I needed them. I had recently bought 3 new Gorjuss girls stamps and had not used anything of them. Here is the first. The image is called "Pretend Friend" and it comes with 3 stamps, a frame, a border and a Gorjuss girl with a toy. I did not use the toy and gave here a set of balloons to hold onto.

I have to say that this picture does not do my card any good. It looks way better in person. I have been having trouble uploading photos to my blog and had to go to Mozilla firefox to do it. Something is going on with internet explorer.

I colored the images with my copics E11, E13, V01, V06, V12, I used wink of Stella glitter pen clear to give sparkle. The bling is from my stash as is the twine or ribbon on the balloon. The card stock is from Gina K and the DP is from the Paper Studio. the birthday presents is from a stamp called birthday presents and it is from Stamp Happens and was designed by Tara Reed. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from Michaels $1 bin. I have a few challenges that I want to enter this card into. It has been a while since I have entered into any challenges and I would like to get back to it.

BIRTHDAY WISHES

Good morning bloggers, today is Wednesday and I am home playing in my craft room. The reason that I am home is that we have had some major cold snowy icy weather. I live in Alabama, and this has been enough to shut down our city and most of the state. There are people who have been stranded on highways since early yesterday. There is ice and snow everywhere. And no it was not a blizzard like you have seen in northern states. We only got maybe 3 or 4 inches of snow in most places. The problem is that it has been very cold here and that made the problems worst. Usually if we do get some snow it is gone within an hour or two. Not this time. So, I got a free day to play.

My card today is a birthday card for my oldest granddaughter.

 
 
The papers that I have used are PRIMA ( Natures Garden). I love these papers. the card base is the corrugated card board from Michaels, the card stock is Bazzill, The flowers are also from PRIMA. The die cuts were cut with a Sizzix die. The bling is from Recollections. The Kenny K image was  colored with Copics E00, E11, E13, E09, E15, E18, G21, G24. I used the Wink of Stella glitter pen to go over the clothes. I love these pens. Well, that is it for my card and I am off to get it ready for the mail. And then I will be working to finish my December daily. Which, I will be posting soon.

SHABBY CHIC

Here is a project that I made for a friend and since I haven't posted in a while, I decided that I needed something pretty. I don't do Shabby Chic often even though I like the look of it. But, this is what she likes so here it is.

The papers are from a really old Tim Holtz pad (Shabby Chic),  The images are from a Hampton Arts one of a set of Graphic 45 designs. I stamped them on a Tim Holtz ticket and colored with copics  and then used glossy accents over them. I inked the edges with distress ink. The flowers are from my stash and are from Wild orchid crafts and the bling is from Recollections. I really like how this turned out and will be using the scraps to make another card for my bosses birthday.

THANK YOUR TEACHERS AT TUESDAY THROWDOWN # 145

Good morning, it is Tuesday and time for another fun challenge at Tuesday Throwdown. This weeks challenge is "Thank Your Teachers" and the Sponsor is BUGABOO STAMPS. Jodie Mackrel is the owner and she has created lots of fabulous images.


My project this week is the wonderful little notebook. The DP is from K and Company. It is made using scraps from a mini that I am working on. I used several Spellbinders dies and a junior legal pad. The cover is made with card stock from Gina K. And as you can I see I created a pocket so the I could keep up with small bits of papers. On the front cover I used and image from Bugaboo Stamps and colored it with copics V01, V20, V17, V04, V91, E11, E13, E15. The stamped sentiment is from Michaels $1 bin. I punched it out with a EK success punch. I used a Martha Stewart punch to make a little decorative strip to go under the spellbinders, the corner bling is from Recollections.  I received the butterfly from my friend Terry in a swap that we recently did. I really like how this tuned out and I am going to take it to work and use it on my desk. I did glue to legal pad down. Well that is it for this post, I do have some challenges.

EASTER/SPRINGTIME

My card this week is an easel card made with Bazzill card stock and the background paper with the houses and chicks on it I got at Michaels. The two stamps came from the $1 bin at Michaels and eggs were made with a punch that was in my stash . All of the bling was from my stash and of course I colored Sophie and the eggs with my copics. I used E13, E18, E11, E31, E33, E42, E40, V12, Y15. The Spica glitter pens used were Mint, baby blue, lilac and blossom peach. It reminds me of spring. Love the papers and  of course they are one of my favorite colors.

SPRING TIME/EASTER


Good morning, I am here with a short post. I had a chance to play with Tilda and decided it was time for a little more springtime. This is the first time that I have used so many stamps and images on one project. I wanted to make a scene look like a park. The tree is a Penny Black stamp (splendor 3977H), the tulips are Magnolia as is Tilda. My favorite place to shop for Magnolia Stamps is Magnolia-licious Online Store, the owner Diana Crick is wonderful and so is the service.

The bench is from Sugar Plums. The eggs are a stamp from Craftsmart, bought in the clearance rack at Hobby Lobby. I used the Martha Stewart punch floral vine and Spellbinders curved rectangles. The card stock is bazzill. The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment is a digital freebie, I forget where it is from. The bling is from my stash.
 
All images were colored with copics:

Tilda- E00, E11, E13, E09, E25, G21, G24, G12, Y13, Y15 and spica lemon and mint glitter pens
Tulips- Y13, Y15, Y17, Y19, Y21 and spica lemon/buttermilk glitter pen
Chick - Y13, Y15, Y35
Eggs - RV06, RV19,RV21 and spica pink glitter pen.
The bench - E25, E27, E29

Well, that is it for this card. I will be entering it into the following challenges. I hope that you have enjoyed your visit. I will return soon.

ANYTHING GOES AT BROWN SUGAR #34

Wow, what a week this has been. Work is super busy and this was the week for annual evaluations not many surprises since I knew I completed all of my goals and projects for the year. It just gets stressful sometimes. But, I am glad that it is over and that it is Friday. I really need some time to create.

This is get your craft on and I am going to use it on a scrapbook page from one of our crops. I will also be doing some shopping this week over at Bugaboo. I saw some new images that I just have to have. The image was colored with copics B000, BG45, BG53, E11, E13, E15, YR04, Y21. The sentiment came with the image. The papers are from a very old pad of My Minds Eye (Stella Rose collection) Hattie Papers is the name. I have almost used the whole pad. But, it has been one of my favorites. The flowers are from my stash, the circle and inverted scallop were cut with Spellbinders dies as was the image and the mat beneath it. I don't have the packaging anymore and my list is not available to say which label this is.. Well, that is it for this post.

BROWN SUGAR EASTER CHALLENGE # 32

TGIF, aren't you glad that it is Friday, I am. It has been a busy week for me and I have only had a very little time for creating. And since it is Friday you know I had to create something for the Brown Sugar Challenge. this week it is Easter. During this time bunnies are a big part of the theme (although I have never been sure why). But, I have chosen a cute little bunny to make my project from.

I haven't done a lot in pinks lately so I used that as my main color. The image was colored with copics R20, R21, RV11, RV06, RV21 and I used atyou spica glitter pen Pink. The happy Easter is part of the image. The buttons and twine is from my stash as is the bling and ribbon. The DP paper is Colorbox. I inked the edges of the image with distress ink victorian velvet. I liked the faux stitching on the rabbit and just highlighted it with the glitter pen. The card stock is bazzill. Although you really can't see that.

Now that you have seen my creation, go on over to Brown Sugar and join in the fun. The rest of the team is  listed on my sidebar and they would love it if you stopped by for a visit. Have fun and we hope to see you soon.

LACE AND DOILIES AT TUESDAY THROWDOWN # 137

Hey, it is Tuesday and time for another fab challenge at Tuesday Throwdown. This week the challenge is "Lace and Doilies" and to be honest I had never used a doily on my cards before. So, I picked some up when I saw that this was one of the challenges. The sponsor for this Challenge is Robyn's Fetish. She has some wonderful images and I always have so much fun using them.

 
The image that I have used is tea for two. I really like how this came out. The teapot was colored with Copics E81, E50, E51 and the peach spica atyou glitter pen. The lace and bling is from my stash. I used a spellbinders die to cut the  shape behind the teapot. I sprayed the doily with glimmer mist. All of the papers are from my scrap file. The stamp is from Michaels $1 bin from a couple of years ago.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

The image is cupid from Tellen's Place Designs. The wonderful artist is Terry's son, Markus. Tellen's Place is no longer up and running, but the images are still fantastic.


 The gold paper is recycled  Christmas wrap, it is some wrapping paper that I confiscated at our department Christmas party. It is heavier than most wrapping papers and when I saw it I thought, "hey, I can use that on my cards". So as people were unwrapping their dirty santa gifts, I was grabbing up the paper before they could ball it up and throw it away. So I ended up with lots of it. I embossed the paper with the Cuttlebug hearts embossing folder. The bling was bought last year in the Hobby Lobby clearance sale. The sentiment is something that I wrote on my computer. I used the Dahlia Nestabilities as the background for the cupid. And it was Bazzill paper that I cut with it. They have been in the clearance isle for a couple of months and I was just waiting them out before I bought anymore. The image was colored with copics E11, E13, E15, E53, R24, R27, R29, Y28, spica red glitter pen and gold glitter pen.

BROWN SUGAR VALENTINES CHALLENGE # 29 (WITH KENNY K)

Good morning it is time for another wonderful challenge at Brown Sugar Challenge Blog, this week we have the fabulous Kenny K's Krafty Krew as our sponsor and he gave us some fabulous images to play with with. I got this sexy cupid.





I colored the image with copics E11, E15, E13, E23, R24, R27 I colored the wings with a gold marker and then covered them with stickles. I use the spica pink and red glitter pens on her little outfit, boots and garter belt and the bow and arrows. I cut her out and then used foam tape to pop her up, the ticket for love is from K and Company's last years valentines borders. The happy valentines day sentiment is from Michaels $1.50 bin, I cut out 3 different spellbinders labels and layered them. The DP paper is Basic grey from a long time ago. The card stock is Recollections. The heart border is also from K and Company. The bling is from my stash. The base of the card is from Recollections corrugated card set. I really like these and you can use them for any type of card, they can be dressed up or dressed down.



I used the same DP on the inside of the card and have not added a sentiment yet. The top of the inside is embossed with a new set of valentine embossing folders from Cuttlebug, well they are not new, I got them of clearance this summer, they came with 4 folders total and I paid about $3 for them. It says live, laugh, love and romance. has hearts and other designs on it. Well, that is it for my card. So, go on over to Brown Sugars Blog and join in the fun. Tell them that I sent you.

BLINGS AND FLOWERS

Good morning, it is Saturday and time for a little play. In my head I have all of these projects that I want to create, but time is this huge factor. When you work full time and are involved in so many other things during the week it is very hard to get much creating done. But, I am going to try. I have been playing around with making stick pins. Love it, they are great when used on our many projects, especially mini albums and tags and even cards. These were made for a new friend and I will be mailing them out today.

The paper is K and Company black and cream fusion. I punched the corners with a Martha Stewart corner punch. This is from a set that I bought before Christmas and find myself using it all the time. The red, clear and black bling is also from K and Company. I bought it a couple of years ago and have been hoarding it. It is no longer on the market. The flowers are from my stash.


The large floral pins are from Joann's and they are 3 inches long. I colored the pearls on top with my copic marker. The purple beads were taken from a necklace that someone gave me. The silver findings are from Michaels. The short pins are from Hobby Lobby and they were already gray . The swirls on the back of the package is from my stash. The black ribbon wrapped around the package is from my stash and has adhesive already on it. The red and pink beads were bought at Walmart. I really love how these turned out and will be making more for use on my projects.
