Soaked In Your Love

Good Morning!  I hope everyone had a good weekend.  If you live in the States then you probably had a 3 day weekend!  I went to a Wedding Sunday.  I stayed close to the reception so I didn't have to drive home.  Yesterday I spend most of the day doing nothing.  Very, Very tired but it was worth it.  I saw a good friend get married and I had a good time.

Today is the Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge.  This weeks theme is Color.  You need to use Blue, Pink and Yellow on your card and use Basic Grey paper.  My 1st thought was to go with pastels but then I thought I wanted to do something different so I used Teal Blue, Bright Pink and of course my yellow duck and flowers.

This is an easy challenge because there are so many different shades of Blue, Pink and Yellow.  Play along with us.

The other DT's did a wonderful job.  You should check them out!

Happy Tuesday! I hope everyone had a good Easter. I spent time with family. The weather was beautiful so all in all it was a nice day.

Today is the Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge. Today's theme is Sew Cute. All you need to do is make a card with a cute image and use Basic Grey paper! Today there is an added incentive to play. Sew Many Cards is sponsoring the challenge!! You could win 5 free images of your choice from Sew Many Cards! They were kind enough to give the DT's an image to show you. This is the one I picked. She is called Tayla in the tree. Isn't she cute. Please check out the other DT's to see the wonderful job they did with their images.

Happy Easter again......

Good Morning. I hope everyone is having a good weekend. It's cold here this weekend. We had snow flurries Friday morning. It's hard to believe Easter is next weekend.

Today is the Stempeltraume challenge. The theme this week is Easter. I love making Easter cards. I love the soft colors and it really gets me in a Spring mood. This year more than most because Easter is early. The other DT's on this team do some amazing cards. You really should stop by and check them out. Better yet, play along with us. We love to see everyone participate!

The other challenges this fits are:

Sew Many Cards - Punches - I love punches! There are some great one's out there. I have now run out of room to store all of mine.

Dare you to Digi - Easter - My digi image is from Sew Many. I love all her bunnies.

Annabelles - Sketch - I really liked this sketch and I thought it would really fit the image because it looks like the bunny is looking up at the flowers.

Color Create - Choice of Pastels - Great theme! I love pastel colors!!

Little Red Wagon - Inspiration - Lt Blue, Pink, White - I loved the soft look of the inspiration picture and thought my card had a soft look with the light Blue, Pink and white.

Incy Wincy Designs - Easter or Spring - Yes, it is that time of year. I am ready to use more of my lighter copics!

Crafty Cardmakers - Spring into Spring - I am jumping head first into spring this year. I am ready to pull out all my spring stamps.

Stamp with Fun - Easter - I could probably make many more Easter cards but I don't have the time.

Everybody Art - Easter - Great minds think alike. Not surprisingly there are alot of Easter challenges and I am thrilled. I wish I could make a card for each one of them.

Practical Scrappers - Use something you have not used in over a year. Mine is the border punch. I bought this punch a couple years ago. I like it but I don't use it often. I am trying to not use the same punches on every card so this gave me the perfect excuse to pull out an old one.

Jacksonville Embellishments - Easter or Spring - I love all these Easter/Spring Challenges! They are fun and easy

Thank you for stopping by. Thanks to everyone who leaves a comment. I look forward to reading all of them.

Happy Easter

Good Morning! I hope everyone had a nice weekend. We had alot of rain here in the Northeast. The good news is that is stayed as rain. This time of year we can still get snow and we would have gotten alot with this storm.

This is my first Easter card. I fell in love with this Halen image from Sew Many. I just love the hat and pearls. I couldn't wait to use it. I knew this would be the start of my 1st Easter Card. I had to modify the sketch a little to add my Happy Easter. I didn't have alot of the Purple DP so I didn't want to risk stamping right on the paper and having it come out crooked or not stamp evenly.

The wonderful challenges this card fits are:

Sew Many - Easter

Friday Sketches - Sketch

Paper Sundae - Easter

Stamping B's - Easter/Spring

Tanda - Simply Spring

By the Cute & Girly - Spring is in the Air

Bee Crafty - Spring

Stamp Scrap & Doodle - Purple or Pin, Ribbon, Button

Townscrapper - 3 Buttons

Thanks for stopping by. Thank you to everyone who leaves I comment. I truly love reading all of them.

Sweet Dreams

Happy Monday. It's been a while since I have posted. Last week was really busy at work and then Thursday night I lost my electricity. Friday I had to find someplace to work because I normally work from home. I got my electricity back late Friday but my sister didn't have her electricity until last night so she spent alot of time here. She isn't a crafter so I thought it would be rude to say "well have fun I'm going to make a card". Non crafter's just don't understand. LOL!

This is one of the free stamps I got from Sew Many Stamps. I love their bunnies. I have already printed some out for Easter cards.

The challenges this fits are:

Paper Sundaes - Sketch. I thought this was a cute sketch for this image

Challenge up your life - Stripes and buttons. I love this DP. It looks a little distressed but is still light.

Stamp Something - DP, Buttons & ribbon - I love all 3 so this was easy.

Sew Many - 3 Techniques - my 3 are Inking, Embossing (my flowers)and Stitching

Secret Crafter - Stitching - I like faux stitching on cards

Cute Card Thursday - Ribbon - What is a card without ribbon!!

Crafty Catz - Fancy edge and Ribbon - I love my edge punches!

Stamp, Scrap & Doodle -Sparkle and Shine - I put glitter on the blanket.

Lexi's Creations - Anything goes - Love this theme!!

Thank you for visiting. I hope you like my card. Thanks to everyone who leaves comments. They really make my day!

Ruff Day?

Happy Sunday! Is everyone hooked on the Olympics like I am? It is amazing what some of these athletes can do. I sit down for a minute to watch it and then find myself still watching it hours later.

I took my eyes off the Olympics this afternoon to color this image. I love Hershey in the tub. I used both glitter and crystal effects for the bubbles and the water. When I punched the bubbles out of the strip I decided they looked plain so I put crystal effects on those also to give the card a little more dimension.

The challenges my card meets are:

Sew Many - Sketch - I had a tough time with this sketch. I make square cards and had a tough time fitting everything on but I love the papers I used.

Crafty Cardmakers - Digital - This is a digital Sew Many stamp and then I typed the saying from word.

Dare you to Digi - Punches - I love dots and bubbles so when I saw this punch last year I thought I would use it alot. It surprised me when I realized this was the first time I pulled it out. I filled the circles with crystal effects to make them look more bubbly.

Frosted Designs - Polka Dots and Plaid - I love these papers and I love both polka dots and plaids so I loved this challenge theme.

If the Shoe Fits -Mad for Plaid - I love this plaid paper and found I was hording it so I decided this was the time to use it.

Incy Wincy - Punch it out- Now that I have used this bubble punch I know I will be using it more!

Little Red Wagon - Ribbon - The saying looked lost on this card so I decided to weave ribbon through it to make it look like it fit better on the card.

Thank you for stopping by. I hope you like my card. I love reading all your comments. Thanks to all who leave them.

Be Mine

Good Morning! I can't believe how fast this week went. I have been incredibly busy at work and then I was too tired at night to pull out my stamping stuff so it was fun last night to color. Monday is a holiday so I hope to get a few cards made this weekend.

I won the Sew Many challenge last week (YEAH!!) and the bears are one of the stamps I picked. They are so cute and their stamps are so much fun to color. The hearts hanging from the ribbon was their Freebie this week. This is officially my last Valentine card for 2010. I am ready to move on.

I found that this card fit the following challenges.

Sew Many - This was a color challenge. Red, Pink and White.

Truly Scrumptious - This was a sketch challenge with extra of buttons and bows. I thought the sketch worked great with this image and I found the pink flower buttons to use which match my DP.

Stamp Something - Cute - I think this image is really cute which is why I picked it for my prize. I thought this was a great challenge theme.

Daring Cardmakers - Have a heart. This did not need to be a valentine but I love my hearts on this.

C.R.A.F.T. - Digi Coloring - I love digi's and I love coloring! Perfect theme for me!

Cute Card Thursday - In the name of love. This also did not need to be a Valentines Day card but it is Sunday...

Dutch Dare - Valentines Day - I think this is another great kids card. I tend to like making those more than adult ones.

Everybody Art - Valentines - I love my little valentine bears

My Time to Craft - Hearts and Kisses - what a cute theme name! I think my bears little heart noses may want to share a kiss.

Digital Tuesday - It's all about the animals! I saw this them and said YEAH!! I love all my new animal stamps.

Crafty Catz - Buttons and Bows - I love both buttons and bows, especially when I find buttons that are not round like my flowers.

365 Cards - 3 layers - I love layers on my cards. Depending how you count layers this can have 3 to 5

Thank you for stopping by and looking at my card. I hope you like it. I love reading all your comments. Thank you to everyone who leaves one.

Doggone it!

Good Morning everyone! I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

This is one of the new Sew Many Stamps I have. I am having a great Sew Many weekend. I received their newsletter Friday night and saw that I was the spotlight blog. It was so exciting. Then I found out I won a stamp during their blog hop!! I never win anything.

I started playing with these stamps and could not figure out how to merge 2 digi's together so I printed them and cut them out. I thought this would be such a cute kids valentine. I went to lunch with a friend of mine a few weeks ago and she was babysitting her 4 year old niece. Her niece loves to stamp and color and sent me a card she made. I think this will be a really cute card to send to her. I had a tough time getting a good picture of this card. I'm not sure why. It looks dull on my computer and IRL it is really bright.

My card fits the following challenges.

Sew Many - Red, Silver, Black Valentine - I was going to use their freebee for this challenge but I saw so many beautiful cards with it and I couldn't come up with something different so I decided to go with the dog.

Totally Gorjuss - Sketch - I thought this sketch was perfect for this image

Raise the Bar - Hearts. I love my little heart punch. You can add to cards without taking up alot of space

Stamping for the Weekend - Valentine - I like making valentines that are not traditional.

Stamp Something - Love - I love kids and I hope my friends niece loves this.

Crazy for Challenges - Valentine - I think this would be the perfect valentine for any kid who loves animals.

C.R.A.F.T. - Love - The little dog looks like he needs some love.

Charisma - Love - If a card puts a smile on someone's face, which I hope this does, then I have sent some love their way.

Paperplay Challenges - Love Notes - Sending a little "love" to a child makes me smile.

Creative Card Crew - Valentine - Kids valentines are the best! I think they appreciate them more than adults.

KL Stamping - Paper Tole - I double printed the doghouse, dog and name plate. I am not the greatest at cutting things out but I like the way this came out. I like challenges that "challenge" me.

You Warm my Heart

Happy Sunday? I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

I was going through some images trying to figure out what I wanted to play with. I decided on this digi from Sew Many. I knew I wanted to make a valentine and I when I saw his cute heart shaped nose I thought it would be fun.

The challenges this card fits are:

KS Stampin N Scrapping - I thought this was a really cute sketch to use and it was!

Lexi's Creations - Valentine - I liked this Valentine that doesn't say Happy Valentine's Day.

Little Red Wagon - Hearts. What is a Valentine card without hearts?

Dare you to Digi - Hearts/Valentine - I think this would be such a cute valentine for kids.

Sew Many - Love - This is my valentine with Tayla.

Polka Doodles - Non traditional valentine - I think this is not traditional because it has a tiger on it and it doesn't say Happy Valentines Day.

Raise the Bar - Old DP - WOW what a great challenge idea. This is some old paper I had in a pile. I forget who makes it.

Totally Gorjuss - Paper piecing. This was a perfect way to tie in the Tiger with the background.

Secret Crafter - Hearts - I was happy when I found these brads. I forgot I had them.

C.R.A.F.T. - Paper Piecing. This was a perfect way to tie in the image with the card

Thanks for stopping by today. Thanks for letting me know what you think of my Valentine.

Be Mine

Good afternoon. It's Friday! YEAH!!

This is my first Valentines Day card. Isn't he adorable!!! His name is Eris the Elephant by Sew Many Cards. I found this free digi last night and had to color him. I love the heart shaped balloons. After I colored them I put Crystal Effects on them. I love Crystal Effects but I hate waiting for it to dry.

My card fits into the following challenges.


Sew Many Cards - Anything Goes - These images are so cute. When I saw Eris I knew I had to make my 1st Valentine card with him.

Dare you to Digi Stamp - Buttons - I thought that buttons would be the perfect addition to this card. They look good with the cute image.

Tuesday Morning Sketches - Buttons and Bows - In addition to the buttons I put ribbon on most of my cards so the bow was a no brainer here.

Cute Card Thursday - Pink and Gray - PERFECT!!! When I saw this image I knew I would be doing this challenge.

Friday Sketchers - The sketch this week worked perfectly with my image.

Crafty Ann's - Embossing - I love embossing!! I put it on so many cards.

Daring Cardmakers - Hole in One - The card needed to have at least one hole in it. Great Idea. Mine is the hearts punch!

Paperplay - Furry Friends - Elephants have fur right?? I think of all animals as being furry friends.

Polka Doodles - Love - This is my first Valentines Day card so it fits with love.

Thank you for stopping by. Let me know what you think of Eris.
