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 […]
Birthdays and Donuts
Mmm…… donuts. Oh, hi everyone! Don’t mind me, I’ve had donuts on the brain ever since I came up with the idea for this card 😉 My dad has had more birthdays that he would care for, but definitely not as many donuts as he’d like, so I’m thinking this birthday card will bring a […]
It’s Your Day
Today’s first card was inspired by the challenges at Just Us Girls (for the color combo) and Mojo Monday (for the sketch). What an easy sketch to work with! I have 2 birthday cards I need to be working on, and I’m not sure this will get used for either one, but I was aiming […]
Happy New Year… take 2!
Does this look familiar? No, its not either Groundhog Day or that you are seeing the same card as yesterday. OK, so it bears a close resemblance! When I printed off this cute little pre-colored digi and papers by Doodle Pantry, I did it a couple times in different shapes and sizes. The 1st you […]
Happy New Year!
OK, so I’m about a week late with this greeting. That’s OK. My friends and family come to expect this from me 😉 So no one will mind getting a Happy New Year card from me mid-January! See folks… set their expectations low and they are pleasantly surprised when I’m only a week late! Ha! […]
3D Reindeer
I’m pleased to announce that all my presents are wrapped, all the Christmas cards mailed, and all the cookies baked. Whoo-hoo! OK, I had help from my awesome hubby to get the last of the presents wrapped yesterday, but I did everything else myself. With 2 whole days before Christmas with no lingering to-do list, […]
Sketch N Stash Challenge
I’ve been pumping out the Christmas cards this week! Nothing like waiting for the last minute 😉 Today’s card is for the daughter of my best friend… the niece I never had. I was at a loss for a design, so it helped tremendously to use a sketch. I loved the current sketch from Sketch […]
A Dustin Pike Christmas
I made a cute little card for my dad using a handful of Dustin Pike images. If you haven’t checked out his store or his blog before, you should cause he has the sweetest, light hearted images. My dad could really use a happy, light hearted card around the holidays, so I try not to […]
Christmas Advent Calendar
Today I’d like to share an advent calendar I made for my son. This baby is a substantial size… about 11″ x 11″. It was created from a Lori Whitlock file available on the Silhouette online store. And while there were a couple curses muttered under my breath during the construction of the frame, […]
Autumn Harvest Challenge at PPPR
Today is the last day of the Autumn Harvest challenge over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons. I seem to work well under pressure! Just kidding… these have been ready to go for a couple of days but I almost forgot to post them!!! For my project, I made place cards using PPPR’s Thanksgiving Wear Cutting Files. The set […]
Trick or Treat
I know what you’re thinking… how many Halloween cards can the woman make in 24 hours?!? You’d be surprised! I know I was!!! Ha! 😉 I didn’t make a thing last week and this week my crafty mojo is on overflow. I’ve even been dreaming about projects to do! Ah, but you didn’t come here […]
A Deconstructed Halloween
If you’ve read my blog for any length of time (like, the last 30 days) you would know that my BFF and I are big fans of the card sketches at DeconstructingJen.com and use her archive to pick sketches we like. Then we each whip up a card for whatever occasion we have a need for. […]
Are You Out of Your Gourd?
Hope you’re not tired of Halloween cards cause I have a few more up my sleeve! This one is perfect for a friend who has somehow talked me into a Cross Fit class. Maybe I’m the one out of my gourd because I actually agreed 😉 The image is another of Elizabeth Dulemba’s coloring […]
Steampunk Halloween Card
Back for a 2nd post today… whoo hoo! Just wanted to share the steampunk card I made for my son for Halloween. He’s been on a steampunk / industrial kick for a few months so I thought he’d totally appreciate the style of this card: The steampunk ghost and ghost hunter / explorer are […]
Happy Halloween!
Today I have a 3D project to share… a spooky little something I made for my son: The cut file is a freebie from Bird at Bird’s Cards, and was cut on my Silhouette. The file was a breeze to work with and assemble. I really wanted to fill the eye cavities with small, black rhinestones, […]
Karate Master
I whipped up a quick card today… it was so nice to get back to crafty fun after last week’s busy schedule. It took more time to glue this card together than it did to get all the pieces ready! The adorable spiderweb image comes from TiffanyDoodles and the hysterical sentiment is one of my […]
Halloween Spell Books
Today I would like to share my Halloween mantle decor for this year and talk about the books I made for the vignette. This will be a picture laden post 🙂 I really love Halloween and with my son getting older, I wanted to lose the cutesy Halloween decorations in favor of something a bit […]
Silhouette Weekly Challenge – Flowers and Frames
This week’s challenge on the Silhouette blog is to use flowers and/or frames from the Silhouette store. I love the 3D flowers available through the Silhouette store so I selected the Nested Flower 3D set. I cut it out in 3 shades of red, gently curved the petals to give it more dimension, and gave […]
Deconstructed Challenge – Sketch 120
One of my favorite bloggers/crafter/colorers is Jen at deconstructingjen.com. The woman has mad coloring skills. She hosts a (weekly?) card sketch challenge. I’ve used her archive of sketches before for inspiration, but I wanted to see if I could actually pull off a card during the current week’s challenge. You can read more about the […]
