Have you found your Prince?

Two cards accomplished so far, I know its silly but I am such a perfectionist. When I make a card it usually takes me 4 or 5 days to complete, this one only took me 2 evenings to finish. I wanted this card to be for an engagement but looks more princess-girlie to me?

I took part in the Mojo Monday card sketch challenge.

Leave a comment or follow my blog, I love to follow everyone else!

Have a great weekend :)

Pamper Yourself

It has been a long 10 months but the day is finally here I have my craft room painted, tables set up and almost all my craft boxes put away. Which gave me the opportunity to craft away till my heart was content.

Since I haven't made anything in so long I though it was funny, when I started to score the paper for my card base. I was actually nervous and out of touch. But soon once I started stamping and using my cuttlebug, ahh yes it all came back to me ...whoa thank goodness!

Nothing like making my first card easy, nope I decided to do 3 Challenges all-in-one. This weeks Mojo Monday,
Color Throwdown & Moxie Fab World: The Paper Piecing Challenge.
I received a Cricut for Christmas and purchased the Sure Cuts A Lot computer program. I tried it out and I love it! I used it for the base of my card, the circles and the pink scalloped border.

I hope you all enjoy viewing my first card of the year and I hope for many more ahead to come!

Whoo Loves You?

After seeing this card back in October of 2008, I knew I wanted to CASE it. I finally sat down one weekend and made it. The sketch is from SCS, Sketch Challenge SC197 and the original card is by Toy.


Here is a close up, the blue cardstock was run through the computer printer. I just love the font I selected. All of the 'O's' have a heart shape in the center.

I made the sky background with sponge dauber's by poucing them up and down with two different shades of blue ink.

The tiny bubbles embossing folder by Cuttlebug was used to emboss the light brown paper. Dimensional pop dots were used behind the chocolate frame and the owls to raise them up.

PAPER: White Photo Ppr (HP). Chocolate, Light Brown, Blue (Bazzill).

Happy Valentine's Day, Mom!!

This is a Lolli-Pop Along Bag from Papertry Ink, and I got the idea from Jody of Confessions of a Ribbon Addict. I loved her idea I just had to try one for myself. I couldn't find these Lindor raspberry chocolates she used (they must only be in the USA right now) so I used the original Lindor Chocolates that I could find locally.

I stamped the butterfly and heart images with versamark on the front and the back of the bag. I used my nesties to make the circles in the front. I finally was able to use my big bite to put the holes into the center of the box. I made a band to go around the box with pink bazzill paper to hold the sides closed and connected the back of it with the round tab punch from SU. I added clear rhinestones and a Martha embossed heart punch. Fuchsia heart shaped eyelets were attached to the top edge for the ribbon to be tied onto. A kiss me banner, prima flower and stickers where added for embellishments.

Have a holly jolly Christmas

My craft room has been packed up since May & that means I have gone 8 months without crafting. So until the craft room is painted, I have been working on some of my digital scrap booking to pass the time and somewhat refresh my skills on using Adobe.

Here is a Christmas page of the newest addition to the condo, Diamond.
