For a Great Friend

Happy Good Friday everyone !!! If I don’t get back on this weekend I would like to go ahead and Wish You all a Happy Easter !!!

 

I worked on a couple of cards over the last few days and so wanted to get them posted. First up I have this gorgeous New Hanglar image from the Sailor Kit. I am so excited to be able to order these now.  I have colored my image with Copic’s and have used papers from MME. The doily is from Cheery Lynn Designs and the sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps along with the die I used to cut it out.  Flowers well let me tell you I was doing some cleaning in my craft room and found this box with all kinds of flowers in them that I forgot I had so I am sure these are some that came from like Wal-Mart. The leaf is a punch from Nellie Snellen . Ribbon is from my stash but I used a wonderful tutorial from the talented Becca from Amazing Paper Grace.
I have used the sketch from Party Time Tuesdays Challenge Blog and I also made this card for the challenge over at PaperTake Weekly where the theme is Spots and Stripes. Now you can see my stripes but the dots are sort of hard to see but they are the paper that I cut my doily die from.

 

Next I have used the sketch over at The Sugar Bowl and one of the Simply Sassy’s from Sugar Nellie. A dear sweet friend stamped me a few of these images she I don’t get these in my DT kit. I have colored her with my copic’s and used some brads and spacers from my stash. The papers I used are from The Paper Studio. The ribbon I braided. It didn't’ turn out as well as I wanted it to but you do the best you can I guess. lol Again flowers are from my stash that I found and I also used  my new MS punch that I got from winning the birthday candy over at Norma’s Blog.   I am also going to enter this into The Ribbon Girl Challenge where the theme is a color challenge this week.  I really wish my ribbon braid would of turned out like I wanted it to but I am going to have to figure a way to made some ends on them so I can wrap them behind without it being bulky.

Well you all have a great weekend and have a Happy Easter !!!!!!!!!

A week’s work of play time.

 

Hello my dear friends!!! How is everyone’s weekend going?? I do hope you all are enjoying it. I have another quiet weekend with my grandson gone to his mom’s so I finished some cards I had been working on this week.

First I have this adorable Mimosa image from Bildmalarna I tell  you these images are so darling. I have colored her with my copic’s and have used some papers from BG. I used the SU ticket punch for the edges of the image and added some spacers and brads. I then had this chipboard wording so thought it looked pretty good. Then this adorable ribbon !!!!!!!! OMG I got my package from The Ribbon Girl that I won and I tell you what folks this ribbon is awesome.  I am so loving it and have used my ribbon on several cards I have made. I am defiantly going to be getting me some more of this gorgeous ribbon that is for sure. I also added a BG button to the front of the bow.

Now my next card is an adorable Lily Of The Valley image. Aren’t these girls such cutie pies?? She has been colored with my copics and I added some glamour dust to her necklace. Again I have used some of the gorgeous ribbon from The Ribbon Girl  this one is the seam binding and it is so yummy my papers are from The Paper Studio . I added some sizzix photo corners and I used the sketch over at Create 4 Fun Challenge Blog. And the theme over at Lily Of The Valley Challenge Blog is to have circles on your card.  Then I also made this for another challenge where there is a color challenge. Over at The Ribbon Girl Challenge Blog the theme is to use the colors Pink, Brown and Cream. I think this fits fine and with this adorable ribbon of theirs I just had to enter it.

Now look at this Simply Adorable !!!!!! Oh I had so much fun doing this card. It has been a long time since I made my own background papers and so had a blast. I have used Verity from Sugar Nellie here. I used the wording from Verve and some spellbinder dies.  I am entering this card into the Everybody’s Art Challenge for there gorgeous sketch.

My next card is called Call Me from Sugar Nellie and is available over at Funky Kits. She has been colored with my copic’s also. The papers are from K&Co and I have again used some of the delicious ribbon from The Ribbon Girl oh this was so easy to work with also, Loving it and thanks so much ladies. Make sure you all check out there store you will so be filling  your cart up lol I used a bosskut leaf die and added some flowers from Maya Road. I then added some flat bling to the corner. I am entering this card into the challenge over at PaperTake Weekly Challenge Blog where there is a gorgeous sketch by Dawny.

My last card to show you today is for the Challenge over at Stempelenmaleins Challenge Blog where there is a wonderful sketch to follow. I have used one of my new stamps from Sugar Nellie from the Leanne Ellis collection called If Only !!! Isn’t she a doll ??? She is also available now over at Funky Kits. She has been colored with my copic’s and I have used some papers from  SU. The flowers are from Prima and I added a flat pearl to the center of them and used the LEM leaf punch. The wording is from High Hopes.

Well that is it for me tonight. Sorry it took me so long to get my post done for the week. I just run out of time of an evening after work. I hope to be back tomorrow with some of my new stamps from Sugar Nellie that I got this week. They are yummy. See  you then and am sending you all Big Hugs (((((((()))))))

A Box of Candy!!!

Morning Everyone!!! I hope everyone is staying warm. Its a little nippy here. The work week has been a busy one. Leave the house at 5 am in the dark and get home in the dark.  This is the time of year where our production gets worse than what is normally is. So my crafting fun is always on the back burner.

This has took me all week to get done just because it is so late when I get home. I have made an easel card box with a drawer to put some candy in.

I used one of last years Tilda’s. and the circle sentiment is from Sandra’s Blog . I so love her digi stamps she has such a talented lady.Then my sentiment on the bottom is from Verve.

Here is the card front

And here is a picture of the bottom where the drawer is

Then finally the full view. Never can take a good picture of an easel card.

Sugar Bowl Snowflakes

Hello Everyone!!

Well it has been a miserable week for me. I was to go back to work the day after they put the probe in but didn’t happen. They said I am the 3rd one this has happened to, but the probe has been poking me every time I move. I can’t eat (well that might be good thing lol) So I have been off work. My 48 hours was up today for the wireless remote but it hasn’t fallen off yet. The hospital said it could take several days for it to fall off. Trust me I am so ready !!!

So I done a little crafting today I made my card for the Sugar Bowl Challenge Blog. I have used one of the Home Grown images called Winter Wonderland from Funky Kits. There is a gorgeous sketch to follow and the theme is Snowflakes. I used some stickles on the snowflakes and my spica glitter pen on the flowers of the umbrella and scarf. And I used some Fun Flock on the fur of her coat.

Non Traditional Christmas Colors & Papertake Weekly

I got up really early yesterday  morning like normal work hours so I tried to occupy my time by making a card waiting for the time to leave to go to the hospital.  I didn’t get the post done in time before I left so  I thought I would get it posted before I forgot lol Old age you know.

I have used one of last years Christmas Tilda’s and have colored her with my copic’s. I am entering this card into a couple of challenges. I have used the lovely sketch by Dawny over at Papertake Weekly Challenge Blog  I always love Dawny’s sketch’s. Then the theme over at 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog is to use Non Traditional  Christmas Colors. So I think Pink qualifies lol

Well everything went well  at the hospital, I got the probe put in. My throat is pretty sore right now, but check out these poor ol hands !!! You would think they could put an IV in right the first time. I am bruised big time lol and are pretty sore too. Just have to wear this monitor for 48 hours and then wait for 2 weeks for the results and then will have my surgery. So almost there.

 

Thanks for stopping bye and for leaving me such lovely comments. Hugs to you all (((((((((())))))))))))

Christmas Cards

Hello !! Thanks for stopping bye and visiting me today. I had a 4 day weekend with the Thanksgiving Holiday we had here in the USA. So I took advantage of some of my spare time and made some Christmas Cards with my Verve Stamps.

The cost to mail my regular 6 x6 cards here in the states is a little expensive so this year I decided not to mail that many of them, since I will be off work for sometime with my surgery. So got out my gorgeous Verve stamps and went to town lol

Hope you like them and have a great day.

Tea lights!!!

Thanks for stopping bye today. I finally have gotten caught up with some of my projects I had started. I intended this to be done in time for the Sugar Nellie’s Paper Planet challenge, but just didn’t make it.

I have made a couple of Tea Light cards for some friends at work. I have used these cute Magna images from last years Christmas Collection. I tell you I just love these. This first image is Santa in the Chimney. I added some flower soft to his fur.

The image inside is called Gingerbread. I have colored them with my copic’s I got this tutorial from the talented Lena. I dug out my ornament punch and added some peel off’s to the inside also.

Here is the second one I finished. These are made with Tilda.

Here is an inside picture.

You all have a great day. I only have to work 3 days this week (crossing fingers nothing happens) for we have our Thanksgiving Holiday so that means a 4 day weekend for me. I won’t be able to eat all the good food sadly I had to call off my dinner for this year but once I have the surgery and get on the mend we can just have a redo holiday lol Thanks for stopping bye.

Happy Sunday All !!!

Sorry not much crafting for me lately. I have been taken off my medicine so that when they put the probe in my stomach the test results will be very accurate. So not having a great time right now, but so wanted to get my challenge done over at the Sugar Bowl . There is a gorgeous sketch there by Marlene and the theme is Black and White with a color of your choice.

I decided to make a notepad with the sketch instead of a card using this adorable Miss Elf from Sugar Nellie from last years Manga’s collection. Isn’t she just the cutest Elf ???  I made a pattern for the inside to hold the notepad and used some covered chipboard to make the outside covers.

 

Here is a picture of the inside and on the left I made a little pocket to add some papers.

 

Well I do hope you all have had a great weekend. I had to work yesterday so when I got home I just made myself get my house work done so thinking that I might feel like playing today. We will see.

Thanks for stopping bye. Hugs
