My Heads in the Clouds

It was this weekend, I wasnt feeling to well. But now that im feeling better and my mojo is coming back from the dead I would like to share some cards with you!! :) :) I also was waiting for my PTI order so I could use my new stamp set and dies for these cards. Love all the goodness I got from PTI... the new cloud and hot air balloon dies are my favorite and the stamp set that goes with them. And who doesnt love their paper?


I made these as inspiration for my challenge... 'Sky's the Limit' ... I even had the perfect sentiment for the first card.

I won these from playing their challenges. :) :) YAY!! I love this collection... its my favorite - Love Bandit. They are so generous with their prizes, this is my second prize from them and its always full of goodies!! :)

Im still working on the Diorama tutorial. I didn't craft at all this weekend, I just didnt feel so good... this weather has been hot, cold, hot, cold, hot, cold and I think it got the best of me so I slept most of the weekend. Im feeling much better today after I went to the gym and got some mileage on the bike and treadmill. Hope you had a nice start to your week and an even better tomorrow!! :) :)

Thanks for stopping by ... have a Happy Day! :)

Some Bo Bunny, CARDS and Update on Challenges

HI! Hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter! We had a lovely day and enjoyed our Easter vacation. I just wish time didn't move as fast as it does, its already over :(  Can't wait till we take a trip to the beach very soon, either next weekend or the week after... gotta get the plans together but im ready to get out of this town.

Today I want to share with you a page I did for the Bo Bunny layout challenge Friday... I love Bo Bunny DP and goodies, they have such great lines of paper and accessories. I really enjoy working with their products. I decided to do this layout then frame it in a shadow box. I put it on top of my cute little scalloped shelf, I will change it around and add some other things on the shelf I just put the globe there for now to take the picture. The pictures of my daughter are from 2007, from our trip to see the Blue Angels. It was her first trip to the area and to see the Blue Angels. She wanted to stop at the beach and the flowers caught her eye and she put one in her hair and posed :) so cute!

DP: Bo Bunny Sophie Collection
Accessories: Bo Bunny Flowers, Pearls, Rhinestones, Bling

Bo Bunny Challenge and Cards blog Challenge

Here is a couple of cards I did this weekend. First one is for the Bo Bunny Card Challenge Tuesdays, I love their challenges they always mix them up. I made this card for a friend of mine who just had surgery, they love the beach and surfing so I used Bo Bunny's new line to create it:

Ingredients:

Paper: Bo Bunny Paradise Locals line

Ink: Tim Holtz distress chipped sapphire

The next card I did today was for the Cards Blog challenge. The challenge was to make a card using Birds excluding Owls. 

 

Ingredients:

Paper: Kraft cardstock

Stamps: Unity Stamp Co. & Jillybean Soup

Accessories: PTI buttons & ribbon

Tech: Heat Embossing

Hope you enjoyed my lil cards. And I hope you had a nice weekend! We didnt do too much, just didnt feel up to it. We went to a friends to make them dinner (she just had surgery) so that was nice and today we did necessary cleaning and yard work. And tonight I enjoyed hanging out at the PTI forum and FB fan page for the release party... it was fun but I spent too much money LOL

I also went to BIG LOTS and made out! If you have a nice Big Lots where you are, get there soon. I got 11 Hampton Arts acrylic stamp sets, 3 sets of Thickers, and 3 sets of Basic Grey chipboard all for a buck each! It was a steal!! The stamp sets and chipboard are so nice! I was lucky to find so much.

Have a wonderful week!! Im bummed the weekends over. Back to work!

A win, Cafe challenge and the weekend
