Quilled Snowflake

Well, this is just a clean and simple card...not much to it really...but I am finding that I really love the clean and simple look and that I am liking using white card stock more and more...Just call me boring! LOL. This card shows my first attempt at quilling. I have always wanted to try it but never really would sit down and focus. Today I was not feeling all that good so I sat in my chair with the directions and took my time and played. It actually turned out pretty good then I took it one step too far and attempted to glitter the snowflake....not liking how "chunky" it looks, but lesson learned. You know how you feel when you took a great design one step too far???? Also I got to use a set of my new nestabilities...the lacey circle. Oh gosh I ordered 4 sets of new nesties...this is one. Then today at Hobby Lobby I got 3 other new sets in the clearance aisle...can you believe I was able to purchase Spellbinders Nestabilities for $8.99???!!! I grabbed 3 sets that I don't have. Well I hope your day was a great one...and that you have a Spooooooktacular Halloween!! Going back to sit in my chair and play with some more quilling! Thanks so much for stopping in to see me!

Glitterbabe's Challenge

OOOOHHHH I am so sorry for being late with my posting today for Glitterbabe's Challenge! I wanted to be sure to get this posted before the day end so...here is my creation! I used Glitterbabe's Dove image...how serene is that image? Stef did an awesome job drawing it! I colored the image with copics, cut it out with an oval nestability and the matching scallop. Used the cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder to add some texture and dimension. Added a corner punch from EK Sucess and ohhhh yeah...some more of that awesome bling that I purchased from Pizzazz Aplenty. You will be seeing lots more of that bling in cards to come! To finish off my card I stamped a Peace sentiment across the image and then scored around the card with Scor Pal....I am so happy with how this one turned out. Be sure to stop by the Challenge blog to see all my fellow DT members cards...they really turned out some neat cards...and we had a Guest Designer this week as well! Dawn made one awesome card using 2 of Stef's images! Beautiful job Dawn and thanks so much for playing along with us! Well that is all for me today, I hope your day was a blessed one...and thank you so much for stopping in to see me!

Crazy for Christmas Cards

Gooooood Morning!! I have 3 Christmas cards that I made last night to show you. I found such a clean and simple card in my newest issue of Card Maker magazine that I just had to try. I saw an awesome opportunity to use up some of my Christmas paper scraps from last year AND to use some of my new BLING! Oh my gosh...if you have not visited Pizzazz Aplenty yet, you HAVE to pay Judy a visit. I received an order from Pizzazz Aplenty on Saturday and was instantly in love with my purchase. The prices are out of this world reasonable and I have found the product to be of very good quality. And oh my gosh I will NEVER struggle with tweezers to put my bling into place! They have a gadget called a Gel Picker that will pick up your bling and allow you to place it easily in place on your project. Check them out...trust me you will be glad you did! Anywhooo...below you will see my 3 cards...hope you like and I inspire you to try this so easy pattern! Thanks tons for stopping in today and leaving me love...I truly do appreciate all the kind commnents! Have a blessed day!

Hugs!

Squigglefly Autumn Blessings!

Hello again! Today I have a Squigglefly Challenge card to show you. The challenge for the DT was to use any SF image and use the colors of the season. I chose to use 2 Squigglefly images to create my card...I am excited about how it turned out. I used Laura Campbell's Swirley Pumpkin image as well as Laura's Floral Window. I colored the leaves in Photoshop and matted the printed image on cardstock I had in my stash. I punched the border on the card with an EK Sucess punch and added some green bling in the center of each of the flowers on the border. Hope you like my creation...I had fun finally getting back into creating again! Be sure to stop the Squigglefly Challenge blog to see what the other DT members created for this challenge...AND to join in the fun!
Thanks for stopping by today...and you know I will be by to see you a little later in the day!
