Happy Thanksgiving!

Just trying to sneak in a few layouts that I created Monday at a friend's crop - I haven't been crafting much lately...or finding the time to share what crafting I have snuck in.  I found the leaves and tags in my stash - Woo Hoo!   

It's Job-Hunting Time!

Love all the yellows, golds, and browns I'm using in this scrapbook album, but it's a bit hard on my yellow ink cartridges.

The background uses a Textile Background from Design Bundles.  The "title" is word art from Miss Kate Cuttables.  I will personally say I was glad to see that Last Day of School.  LOL!

Playing with New Goodies

I love this sweet image (Angels Heard on High) from our sponsor, Jan's Digital Stamps.  

I digitally colored the angels and the lacy design behind.  Overall a simple card for this month's Kerst Christmas Challenge - Use the Color Red.

Life is Better with Friends

Okay, seems lately I let it kind of get down to the wire for getting greeting cards out in a timely manner.  It's been a while since I've created some more than quick and easy - so this one took me hours to pick papers and sentiments and figure out the dimensions - all with avoiding creating more embellishments that I may never use.  This cutie is for Valentine's Day with adorable birds sent to me by a friend - Thanks, Mikah!  I painted the birds white and I added some clear glitter (one of my favorite products) so that they sparkle.

The mat was cut with my Eclips.  The corner flourish is Heartfelt Creations, I think.  I pulled from my stash and only had black - it is a bit out of place, but I think helps the hummingbird stand out.  The sentiment is from the Friendship set from We Are 3.

Let It Snow

The cute images are My Snowmies by the Kerst Christmas Challenge sponsor, Jan's Digital Stamps, colored digitally.  The sentiment comes in the set. 

Birthday Bouquet for Featured Stamper

I love playing at Splitcoast Stampers in the Featured Stamper Challenge because there are so many inspirational cards each week....and since I've had no mojo lately, it's always easy to find a simple card to CASE when I need one.  For this card, I used the gorgeous Birthday Bouquet paper from We Are 3. 

I added beautiful branches from Design Bundles and a digital sentiment.

Hope to see you playing with the Featured Stamper someday...each challenge is posted on Sunday...no prizes, but plenty of fun - so what are you waiting for?

Happy Groundhog Day! Let's Celebrate!

Floral Flamingo, which just may be one of my faves ever!  He's so perfect for a Groundhog Day greeting, don't ya think?

A Quickie for Featured Stamper

I've been a busy gal - doing what?  I'm not sure - but it seems that a 24-hour day just is not enough.  So for a few cards I needed, I went to Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper for quick and easy cards...and I'm able to knock out a challenge at the same time.  For this CASE, I chose a digital splash and a digital sentiment for a quick birthday card.  The splash behind the sentiment is from Design Bundles.

Of course, I was in a hurry and forgot to note the creator of the sentiment.

Beary Christmas

I love the sweet images at Last-Minute Manda and just couldn't resist the Beary Christmas holding a wreath.   

I assembled this card using background paper from We Are 3 - Winter Plaid.  Thought the little bear would look cutest in layers for dimension.  I printed Beary three times and stacked layers to give him dimension.  WOW!  I always forget how worthwhile taking that time is!
