I Love Digi Challenge

Good morning! I am off to a slow start today! Was a very late night and long day for me yesterday so I am feeling like a turtle today! But I do have a wonderful new challenge for you today! Today the Stamping Boutique is sponsoring I Love Digi first challenge! The theme for the challenge is "Think Pink" and there is a sweet prize for the winner! Hop on over and join in the fun! My card was created using the Comfort and Peace sentiment from the Boutique...it was colored with copics. The base of the card is actually from a box of cards that I picked up at Hobby Lobby like dirt cheap...I think that actually they were wedding cards. BUT I love the laser cut and thought they could be used for other types of cards as well. I backed the card front with some pink cardstock and added a pink ribbon to the side of the card. Hope you like my creation! Today I am not on the road so I will get home at a decent time and hope to be able to hop on over to see what you all have been up to...have a great day today and thanks so much for stopping in to see me!

HUGS!

Good morning! Whew long day yesterday for work...I am thankful to have a few cards made ahead so hopefully I can keep posting daily through this week. Today's card base was created on my cricut...I absolutely love the design. Once I had cut the card base, I then cut the same card again using some designer paper I had purchased at Hobby Lobby...glued it to the card base, then cut an oval out of the same paper using Oval Nesties and cut a scalloped oval in white...pop dotted the oval shapes onto the card base. Of course, I had to use that crystal effects on the center flower in the oval! Actually this was the first card that I had used it on and am just now getting the card posted. I tied a ribbon around the oval shapes as well. I hope you like this card...I really like playing with my cricut and hope to make more of these types of card bases so you will be seeing more of them! Have a wonderful day today...I won't be home until very late again tonight so I will not be able to come visit you till Thursday...but I promise to come see you. Thanks so much for visiting me today!

HUGS,

Tuesday Morning Sketches

Hello all...quick post for me today as I am off to work at 4 AM! Today and tomorrow are busy work days for me so I won't be around to do much visiting BUT I will be sure to see you all on Thursday and Friday. Today's card is for Tuesday Morning Sketches...the Stamping Boutique is sponsoring this challenge...be sure to stop by and join in the fun with us. For my card, I used a paper pack that I had purchased while on a shopping trip with Stef...got the whole pad for like $1.95...and there is really some cute paper in it. The image I used is one of the new Patooties from the Boutique...colored with copics and a little crystal effects added to the sun and it's rays. I used a Fiskars corner punch on two of the layers and Oval and Scalloped Oval Nestabilities around the image. Hope you enjoyed your visit with me today....thanks so much for your daily support...it means so much to me! HUGS to all!

For My Sweetie

Happy Valentine's Day to all! Today's valentine card was for my husband...The idea for the card came from Sue Nelson at Heart Prints. Basically the outside of the card (the white scalloped heart) is the largest size of the Nestabiliites Scalloped Heart dies...the next layer (the pink open heart) was created by folding the paper and cutting the heart from the next size down of the Nestabilities Heart die. Then the inside where the sentiment is was the next size down from that. Makes a small card but it is so darn cute! On the inside of my card I stamped my image....which was from the Lil Cupid Whimsie Doodles rubber stamp set that I had won a few weeks ago. Isn't that penguin just so cute. The sentiment was also part of that stamp set. I colored the image with my copics and then filled in the penguin's belly with liquid applique for some dimension and added some glitter to his wings. The background I chalked with some pink chalk. Turned out cute don't ya think. I could see doing a larger version of this on my cricut but have not had the chance to get that done...but it is an idea. The card base wouldn't always have to be used for Valentine's Day...done up the right way this idea would be perfect for a wedding card! Well, I hope you all have a wonderful day, and I thank you tons for stopping in to see me. I hope to have some free time today to catch up on my visiting!

Card Patterns Challenge

There are prizes too so be sure to check out the challenge! My card for the challenge was created using the Audrey with Ladybugs image from The Stamping Boutique. I colored my card digitally in Photshop and the sentiment was computer generated as well. What a cute image this! Well I am off to church right now but should be back later to come visit each of you. Have a great rest of your weekend.

Wishing You a Happy Birthday

Whoooo hooo! It's Friday...can you tell I am a working girl? I am always so excited for the weekends to come...time to play and time to spend with my grandbabies! Today's card features a new image from the Stamping Boutique! It is called Audrey's Wishing Well...is this not the cutest yet? I colored the sky in photoshop using a gradient...the rest of the card was colored with copic markers. And yes, you guessed it...I just had to use my crystal effects! All the flower heads have crystal effects as well as the two butterflies. The clouds were filled in with Tulip Puffy paint and a touch of glitter was added before the paint dried. The sentiment was computer generated. I had a blast working with this image. Remember to stop by the Boutique to check out all the new images and take advantage of the sale! Hugs to all and have a great day today!

All My Love

Good morning! BRRRR it is frigid cold again here in the Valley! Mother Nature is just letting us know that winter is NOT over yet even though most of us are impatiently awaiting spring! Well last night I got a couple of new cards made with some of Tracey's new images at the Stamping Boutique. If you have not been to the Boutique lately, be sure to stop on over to see all the new cute images Tracey has added....they are simply awesome and what's more...she is having a SALE! Yep, 35% off! You can check out the deets here! Today's card is for Stef's Sketch Challenge. Once I printed the image, I colored it with copic markers and added a little bling with a red Sakura glitter pen. And oh my, I bought my first bottle of crystal effects and am really loving it...notice the rose and the bow are accented with it? I know it has been around for a while but it is new to me and I am excited...you will probably see it on a lot of my upcoming projects. I love dimension. Also the image was trimmed out with one of my new MS punches. The senitment was computer generated and cut out using Spellbinders Labels...added some ribbon and voila! I sure hope you stop on over to see what the other DT ladies have created and join in the fun! Remember....there is a prize for one lucky winner! Well hope you all have a great day today and as always I thank you so much for stopping in to see me....it means a lot to me and I treasure all of you and your comments. Hope to see you again soon and I will be by to do some visiting with you a little later on today.

HUGS!
