HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY

Good morning, it is the perfect day for crafting. It is raining out and I get to stay in and play for awhile. Love it. I have a lot of projects that I want to work on and so little time. Today I have a gorgeous card that I have made for my second oldest granddaughter who is going to be 18 in a couple of weeks. She will graduate from high school in May although, she finished all of her classes before Christmas. She loves red, lots of bling and flowers. So, the card was made using the corrugated cards from Michaels as the base and the card stock is bazzill. The designer paper is from a Valentine pack from Recollections. and a sheet of paper that I have had in my stash from the Paper Studio. The bling is recollections and the flowers are the Paper Studio bought on clearance after Valentine day. Just because a paper comes out during a holiday it can always be used for other occasions.

 

The image is from Kenny K and was colored with copics E00, E13, E09, E11, E15, R05, R24, R27, Y28 N2, N4. The image was matted using a Sizzix die.

 

 

The stamp on the front of the card is from a clear stamp set and it is stamped on a punch die from EK success, the inside stamp is from Hobby Lobby. The lips are from a valentine set of embellishments. Well, that is it for my card.

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.

 

 

 

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. If you would like to visit some of the other Design Team members you can get to their blogs from my side bar. We would love for you to join us.

UNTRADITIONAL BIRTHDAY GREETINGS

Good morning and it is so good to be getting life back to normal. This has been a very busy time for me and I have not had much time for blogging. Last week I was at a craft show for 2 days and it was my first. I spent the last 2 months getting ready for it. Not knowing what would sale was hard. I made what I thought would sale and I did not do to bad. I made some contacts and had fun. I came home with more money than I left with. I got some orders for birthday cards. So all in all it was not a bad time. I was asked to participate next year and agreed to do. So, I will have more time to prepare. Here is a picture of my table. The room was sort of dark in the area that my table was located.

One of the orders that I received from the craft show was for a birthday card. But, she did not want it to say Happy Birthday on the card. It was for a 12 year old that is a huge fan of the University of Alabama football team. She loves crimson and white, which is the team colors along with the houndstooth pattern. She wanted to be able to put a photo of her daughter on the inside and after seeing a card I had made with a bookmark attached, she wanted one of those also. So, I had fun putting this card together. The daughters nickname is Sparkle, so I added the stars and bling and the base layer was coated with some liquid glitter and dried after embossing with the cuttlebug stars embossing folder. I then used a new folder from cuttlebug. I think it was more of a valentine folder, there were 5 or 6 folders included and the one had lots of different words and sayings. I embossed the live, laugh and love section and used it. The daugher also loves butterflies so I used a few inside and out. The image is a Kenny K one, it was colored with copics E11, E13, E15, R24, R27, B21, B24, CI, C3,  W3, W5, W7. The sentiment is from Michaels $1 bin, the bling is from my stash and the butterflies are Recollections. I left the right side blank so that the mother could write her own message.

 

The houndstooth paper is from the Paper Studio. I used a spellbinders to cut the frame for the photo, the dream stamp is from Michaels $1 bin. The border punch is Martha Stewart, it is one that I recently bought and I just love it. The ribbon is from my stash and the stamp on the right is also from the $1 bin at Michaels and I have had it forever. Well, that is it for my card. Now to find some challenges to enter it into. Have a great rest of the weekend, I will be back really soon with another post.

LOVE TO TRAVEL

Good morning, I just love the weekends. Time for some serious crafting. Trying to get ready for a craft show that is coming up in November. Not getting any work done this week and really trying not to stress about the situation. The craft show is being held for two days and I don't know if I am going to have enough for one day. Must get lots done over the next few weeks. But, enough about that. My personal photos have begun to pile up once again and I really need to get some scrapbooking done also. So, I have several pages that I have done from my trip to Vegas last year. Yes, that is right I have not gotten close to being finished with that book. I am so far behind. Anyway, this page is like the second page for my scrapbook.

I liked the paper and the Kenny K image is just ready to travel. She was colored with copics E11, E13, E21, E09, N2, N4, B21, B24, B12, B14. She was then cut out and popped up on the luggage. The other tags and words are from the paper line which is world travel by DCWV, The tickets and transfer tags are from the trip and the camera was stamped twice and popped up. We did have a wonderful time. Well, that is it for this page. So many more to get finished. I do have a few challenges that I would like to enter this into.

TIME FOR A FUN WEEKEND

Good morning, I am so happy to be off on a 3 day weekend. Means that there will be lots of time for crafting and cleaning in that order. There are a couple of things that I need to talk about before I get to my card for today. First, can you believe  that I have been blogging for almost 3 years. It just amazes me. When I first started I did not think that I would last a week let alone 3 years. So, with that said very soon I will be announcing my 3RD ANNIVERSARY CANDY. It will run about a month. Since I do enjoy a long celebration. Secondly, I still have my 350 followers candy going. Please come on and me get there so that I can get the prize out of my way. So yes there will be 2 candies going at the same time. Anybody who knows about me, knows that I love a good deal and when I find one, I always buy more than I need and I don't mind sharing with people who will appreciate it. Well, that is all about the candy accept, I will start going through my stash very soon looking for the goodies that I will be giving away for my anniversary.

Ok, the real reason I am here is to post a new card that I made a few months ago when one of my co-workers decided to move on to bigger and better things. We, gave here a little going away gift and I made her a going away card. She was one of my best customers when it came to ordering cards for different occasions and she never quibbled about the cost as a lot of people will do.

Yes, a  Kenny K image was used along with the suitcases from Magnolia stamps. I used copics for coloring  and I could not find my list of colors used. The papers are Bazzil, I really love their cardstock, with the textures and without. The sentiment for typed on the computer, I used the crop-i-dile cloud corner punch and the ek sucess edge punch which punches two ways, on the edge of a strip. I do love this punch and saw another one that I would love to have. The bling is from my stash. Well there is really not very much that I can say about this card. So I will get right to the challenges.

2 SISTERS MAKE IT GIRLY CHALLENGE #91

Well it is Saturday again, and what a week it has been. This has been the first chance I have had all week for any computer time. And no time at all for crafting. It is really a good thing that I got my card made early. Well, this week at 2 Sisters Challenge blog the challenge is make it girly. And you know that I love all things girly.

CONGRATULATIONS TO MY DAUGHTER

Happy New Year everyone. Christmas is over and now it is time for the new. Another year to grow in my creativity and try new things. Time to set new goals and revisit those that I didn't quite complete from last year. My motto for the year is to never give up. To keep trying even when the task seems impossible.
"Life is a journey, not a destination" I bought a stamp that says that and it has become my favorite saying. So to everyone out in blog land. Let's get moving.

In December, my daughter graduated from college (this time with her Bachelors degree) she is already an RN and will be starting her masters program in February. I am very proud of her and all that she has accomplished. She is a wonderful mother and daughter. She has worked full time as a nurse while fulfilling her educational goals. So to help her celebrate her accomplishments I made her the following card.

My main image was the Kenny K image, I love the steampunk designs and thought that my daughter would get a kick out of it. The ribbon and graduation stamps are from my stash. I colored my Kenny K image with copics E00, E11, E13, E18, E08, W1, W3, W5. I used distressed inks to do the backgrounds on all of the tags. All of the bling is from my stash.

I also, used some $1 stamps from joanns and michaels. Along with a couple of Tim Holtz Stamps and chains and findings and charms.

This card was made using a Manila folder and the directions can be found at Splitcoast Stampers it is called an accordian file folder. I loved making this project. It is the second time that I have made it and I will be making more of them in  the future. They can bee used for lots of diffierent thinks. I have seen them made to hold christmas card list and shopping list and it was decorated with Christmas designs. A lot of the card stock is from Bazzill. This was such a fun project. I hope she likes it. I added a couple of more stamped images to the pockets and I wrote a special note for the last tag.

DEMETRIUS' CHOPPER

Good evening everyone, it seems so long since I posted any thing even though it has been a little over a week. It just never seems like there is enough time in the day for everything that needs to be done. I have been creating up a storm over the last few weeks since I returned from vacation. I have been working of Christmas cards and numerous other projects. One of them is this birthday card that I made for my sister to give to her husband. Beleive me when I tell you that after seeing this image at  Kenny K's Krafty Girlz I had to have it for my brother-in-law. It reminded me so much of him. He is a lover of motor cycles and he is bald  and he is also a wild man. That seems to cover Chico here.

My sister received the card in the mail yesterday and she loved it. The image was colored with copics E11, E13, E15, E02, E04, E41, C1, C3, C5, BV11, BV12, W3, W5, W7, R00, SPICA SILVER GLITTER PEN, glossy accents on the chrome of the bike.  I embossed the black paper with the Tim Holtz  Retro circles embossing folder. You can not really see it in this photo but, it is there. I used several of the Tim Holtz sprockets. I have fallen in love with the Tim HOltz products and whenever I get a chance to do some shopping I pick up a couple of items. On the inside I embossed with the Happy Birthday embossing folder from Cuttlebug, and the sentiment is . The DP papers are from last years Recollections halloween pack. I needed a purple that was not to girly.  Well, that is it for this card and I hope that you have enjoyed your visit. There are a few challenges to follow.

MOTORCYCLE MAMA

Hi all, I am so late with this post, I had planned to do this yesterday and then this morning. But, I have been busy creating for the last few days. And I just did not feel like sitting at the computer typing. It is to hot here to be out side unless you just have to be. It has been 90 to 99 degrees everyday for the last week and we are expecting the same thing for the coming week. this heat just sucks the energy from your soul. It is a good thing that my employer freezes me out during the day. Two extreme temps every day. Who can take it. Well, enough about the temperature. Lets get right to my card. My sisters birthday was the end of April and I made this card for her. I am always teasing her about being a motorcycle mama, because my brother-in-law rides a bike and she rides with him. She has a complete outfit helmet, chaps, leather jacket and gloves. so I decided to send her a card that fits the image. She loved it and then asked me to make a card for my brother-in-laws birthday in September. The image that I used for this card is a Kenny K image and it is called Spy Girl.

The image was colored with copic E11, E13, E25, E53, E87, C5, C3, V06, V09, V04, V12, W1, W5, W7, spica glitter pen lavender and lilac. Glossy accents on the motorcycle, The paper is Bazzill, the bling is from my stash. The inside stamp on left is Studio G and on the right is (I will have to dig it back out and check). There are a few challenges.

SPRING TIME BIRTHDAY

Good morning everyone, I have a new card and some sad news. At least sad for me. This week I got the news that Tellen's Place was changing its format and with the direction that it was going  they would no longer need the services of a full design team. I am now out of a position. I will be looking for a new team to work with and if any of you know of anything I will be willing to listen. When I started blogging Tellen's Place was one of the first blogs that I joined in with the challenges and from there it led to a position on the team. Terry is a wonderful lady and it was a pleasure to work with her. I love the images that her son draws and I will continue to use them on a regular basis. You can visit Terry at the new format and still get the images you love at Tellen's Place Designs, there are lots of new designs and she will have blog candy and even a few challenges. I will be joining in myself. Thanks for a great opportunity Terry.

My new card is another Kenny K image and it was created for the oldest granddaughter of a friend. but, I think that it gives a feel of Springtime with the Basic grey papers (from the Wisteria pack). I love the dragon flies in the background, the flowers are Prima and the bling is from my stash. I used the Cuttlebug spots and dots folder the the card stock is from Bazzill. I colored the image with copics E00, E11, E13, E25, E42, BG93, BG95, BG10, W3, W5, YG61 and the spica glitter pens melon and mint. The punch is Martha Stewart and the ticket sentiment is from a set sent to me by a friend. The sketch is from Lollipop Crafts.

I embossed the inside with one of the folders from the Cuttlebug art deco set and the stamped sentiment is from Stampendous.

BIRTHDAY WISHES (YOU ARE FABULOUS)

Wow, its Monday evening already and I really feel like I could use a nap. But, instead I am here to post a new card. This card is one of 3 that a friend asked me to make for her 3 granddaughters. This one is for the first birthday which is on the 28th of April. The young lady is going to be 17 years old. I chose a Kenny K image because after going through my stash, I thought this one would be perfect.

The image was colored with copic E09, E11, E13, E25, E15, BOO, B93, B95, C3, C5, C7 and spica sky blue glitter pen. The DP is by My Minds Eye (Stella and Rose) Hattie Papers. I really loved the colors and the designs and I just had to have this pad. The card stock is Bazzill. The paper flowers were kind of plain so I used some martha Stewart glitter to spice them up, ribbon and bling are from my stash. I used 2 different Spellbinders, curved rectangles and Dahlia, I also used one of the Spellbinders ribbon labels. The embossing folder is from the art deco set by Cuttlebug. I stitched with my little purple Pixie. and the sentiment (you are fabulous) is a $1 stamp from Michaels. The happy birthday stamp is from a clear set of stamps. Yes, there are several challenges.
