Ice Cream Hugs
My bestie isn’t a chocolate or cookie girl, so I can’t send her a Hershey bar or homemade chocolate chip cookies to show her I care. Her vice is ice cream, and *that* you unfortunately cannot ship 600 miles away and hope it will hold on a porch in the middle of Florida. Next best […]
Bouquet of Thanks for a Friend
So, my BFF is about to face the biggest challenge of her life thus far… her one and only child, now 18 years old, is leaving for college and not only that, she’s leaving this weekend so she can attend a summer session. She’s going to need something… anything… to make her smile when she […]
CAS Christmas card with Close to My Heart
Today’s card is super quick and CAS. This card was made with the CTMH present stamp from the Jingle Borders stamp set and the sentiment from their Say It In Style set. I chose to go with non-traditional colors for this Christmas card for the Happy Little Stampers Christmas Challenge as well as a couple […]
Color Throwdown #547
Coming in just under the wire with a card for ctd547, using their inspiration colors: I used Primacolor pencils to color images from SSS’s Even More Spring Flowers stamp set using the following colors (Grass Green 909, Peacock Green 907, Carmine 926, Crimson Red 924, Pale Vermillion 921, Yellowed Orange 1002, and Canary 916). The […]
Altenew Hennah Elements March challenge
Squeaking in just under the wire on the deadline for the March inspiration challenge: I used the Hennah Elements stamp set and colored it with Tombow markers (reds 835, 847, 856, oranges 925, 933, and greens 126, 158). I used the Altenew Halftone stencil for the background with Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Seaweed Quartz. […]
MFT Birthday Challenge – You’re How Old?
*Cough, cough* Whoa, sure is dusty around here! Dusting off the blog today to post a card I made for the monthly MFT Birthday Project Challenge. I used the MFT Balloon Strings background stamp and heat embossed in Wow Fine Silver embossing powder. I used MFT Block Happy Birthday Dienamics to cut the letters from […]
Furry Friend
I think these puppies are so stinking cute! I’ve had a set of rubber stamps mounted on foam called Doggies since, well… forever… that sadly had never been inked up. I tripped over them… almost literally when a rack I use to hold stamps tipped over… and left them out on my desk to play […]
Best Wishes Butterfly
Most of the northern hemisphere of the world is desperate for Spring to kick in. Where I live, we’ve been enjoying mild temperatures for a couple weeks, but am only just beginning to see signs of life and color returning. Here’s a burst of sunshine and brightness for you! The flowered paper was made […]
Blueberry Butterfly Birthday
Say that 5 times fast! Blueberry Butterfly Birthday! Blueberry Butterfly Birthday! Ok, perhaps I’m getting a little giddy since I was able to finish off another half finished project laying on my desk. Take a look: I know… very purple, right? Definitely not my go-to color, but there it is anyway 🙂 In fact, […]
Flying By to Say Hi – Hot Air Balloon
Happy Tuesday, all! I’m super glad to be posting today! That dang mojo of mine has been playing hide and seek with me these last few weeks. Between the misplaced mojo and life in general getting in the way a little, I haven’t had a chance to work on a whole card from start to finish […]
Thinking Of You Watercolor
I have been a follower of Heather Telford at Bits and Pieces for quite some time. She makes the most beautiful watercolor cards with stamps and Memento inks. My mojo has apparently been on vacation or in the Witness Relocation Program… so I decided to get inky and see if I could channel some of […]
Metamorphosis
Today’s card is not my typical style, but the mojo was flowing so I tried very hard to go with it and not question it 😉 This card was inspired by this week’s sketch at Fusion Card Challenge: The patterned paper is from My Mind’s Eye 6×6 pad called My Girl. The chevron design […]
Sending You Sunshine
I’ve been itching to make a shaped card but didn’t know where to start until I saw the weekly challenge at The Friday Mashup is Hexagons or Triangles. Before Christmas, I just HAD to have the Spellbinders Hexagon dies, so it was time to break them in! I used the largest die for the […]
Big Birthday Wishes
Howdy folks! Today’s card is bold, bright, and blingy!!! The inspiration for the layout is this week’s sketch from Techno Stamper. I was browsing through my 6×6 paper pads and Hip Hip Hooray by American Crafts was just begging me to use it today 😉 Now, I wouldn’t normally mix really bold papers, but I think […]
100% Adored
Just a quick CAS card for Valentine’s Day featuring Impression Obsession stamps. The tree is from the Solid Tree stamp set, but instead of using the leaves from that set, I used the heart from the Love Seals stamp set. The medallion sentiment on the front is from that set too, which was then […]
Kissing Chameleons
OK, so I know I already made a card for my hubby, but this might have to replace it and save that one for our anniversary. I am loving these sweet little chameleons from Elizabeth Dulemba! Look… they are making a heart with their tails!!! Stinkin’ cute! I uploaded the image into the Silhouette software […]
Tons of Love
Check out this sweet Valentine’s Day card! Too cute 😉 I love this image from Dustin Pike at Doodle Dragon Studios. I thought it would make a great card for my son… hope its not too cute for an almost 13 year old! I think certain occasions justify (if not require) cute… don’t you?!? This […]
Forever Love
Hello everyone! (Well, except my husband… Remember? You promised you wouldn’t read today’s post until Friday!) Guess what y’all, I finally found my mojo again… it was hiding in the laundry basket this time. Nothing like needing to do 5 loads of laundry to make you want to craft!!! I had been thinking all week […]
Wish You Were Here
Today’s card is for my BFF, who I’m missing terribly lately. We met in FL when our kids were only a year old & became good friends, then I moved 600 miles away a year later & we became best friends. Come to find out we were in Kindergarten together… same class. Freaky, right? We […]
Cake Inferno (Happy Birthday Bob!)
My brother is 12 years older than me. I’d tell you that he’s older than dirt, but that makes me sound old too! Instead, I will let this cake inferno hint that he’s no spring chicken 😉 I’m not feeling too young myself these days!!! This card is different from anything else you’ve seen me […]
