Follow your Heart

Happy Sunday to everyone!!! I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I know I didn’t get much done yesterday, the first week back from vacation was sure a killer so it took me all day yesterday to get my house work done lol Stop and Start Stop and Start lol

But this morning I got up extra early so I could get back on track with my work hours (3am) so I done some crafting. I had my images already colored so just had to make the cards up. I decided to join a few challenges with my images.
First up here I have a gorgeous Ballerina Tilda. I used the sketch over at Sketch Saturday  I had received a couple of new Magnolia’s the other day and just had to use this one right away.

Now for my second card I done I used this adorable Hanglar image and for the Lovely Hanglar Challenge Blog. The theme this week is Lace and I had this gorgeous lace with purple roses in the center that was just perfect.  I am also entering this into the Create4Fun Challenge Blog, where the challenge there is to use Flowers on your card. I distressed the edges of my paper with the Zutter distress it all and added some lavender stickles to the edges.  I also used the sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp Challenge Blog

Well that is it for me this weekend. Our County Fair starts today and my brother will be playing later this afternoon so some friends and I are going to be going and listen to them. He sings a few  songs  called “Mothers Bible” and “Memories”  I know he will be singing these today, and today would of been our Mothers Birthday so I know this will hit really hard.  I am so proud of him they have there own CD out now. (Pictured Below) My brother is the one on the left playing the big bass and he also plays guitar.  Have a great day everyone

Morning all!!! Well it is Saturday and I am not at work so it is a wonderful day for me lol

But in a few minutes my little 1 year old grandson will be here to spend some time and keep grandma hopping so no crafting for me today lol

But wanted to show you a couple of cards I done.

This first one is for the Sugar Bowl, there is a great challenge this time, you get to pick your own sketch for the ones they have had in the past. Here I have used Challenge #20. I have used the adorable Daisy from Sugar Nellie. I think she is an all time favorite of everyone.

She has been colored with my copic's and I have used the new papers from BG. Ribbon is from SU and I have used the most gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I just love these flowers and I have another order on the way, they are so addicting that is for sure, so if you have been thinking of getting some I would go NOW!!

My next card is a Easel card for Sugar Nellie's group over at SplitcoastStampers. They have a wonderful challenge going on there and you could win a fab prize, so what are you waiting for , click over there and join in the fun.

I have used one of the Leanne Ellis images called Dreamer for my card from Sugar Nellie, rumor has it there is a new release coming. Oh I can't wait for them. And also Sugar Nellie has a wonderful surprise coming for all of you so make sure you keep stalking the store, you won't be disappointed that is for sure.

My papers for my card are from Cloud 9 and the dreamer is colored with my copic's and spica glitter pens. Roses of course are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I used some bling from BG. The sentiment is from Verve.

Now for my edges on my card. Oh my I got my distress it all in the mail and I so love this , so saves my hand but I think I went a little to deep on the paper but going to take some practice I guess but this is a wonderful tool to have if you love distressing.

So sorry my pic's aren't that great, still pretty dark here this morning but wanted to get it up before the little man gets here.

You all have a wonderful day and sending big hugs your way (((((((((((()))))))))))
