Summer Sihouettes




I needed to get some sympathy cards made as it is that time of year when there seems to be a lot of passing's. Winter is supposed to be over and Spring is about to arrive. But I'm starting to question that as it is "still" snowing in my part of the country.

I saw this card by Adriana on Pinterest today and I new I wanted to CASE it as I have this SU! set Summer Silhouettes and haven't had the chance to ink them.

Personally I like my cards better
 with the certainly celery base. I also pop dotted the front one-layer panel.
The entire cards stands out better with a colored background.

Thanks for stopping by,

 Celebrating 40,000 page views!!! It was to my surprise as I was about to write this post that I hit this milestone. Thank You to everyone who visits my blog to view my creations.

Tonight I just wanted to make a card from an idea I had in my head so this is what I ended up with. I did a random search for color combinations and this was one of the sites that popped up, The Perfect Palette so I decided to use this color scheme Coral and Yellow.

I used this weeks Mojo Monday as my card sketch.

Fare-Whale old Pal


After working for 6 days straight I couldn't wait for today's day off.    I planned today to sit down and play with some of my new Stampin! Up Spring 2013 stamps. I'm really loving the cuteness of the Oh Whale! set and coordinating Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer Paper.  A simple 2D card with a bit of 2nd generation stamping, I think it turned out great!

This card was made in mind of a dear friend of mine Jalyn whom is leaving for art school in Vancouver at the end of this week. I hope she loves it there, and misses me terribly as I know I'll miss her and her crazy zombie references.

Thanks for stopping by,

Hogs and Kisses


Wow how time flies, and once again another month has gone by. Well I just got home from my annual winter holiday, it was good! I had a great time with the 'regulars' and also made a bunch of new friends.

Now onto Valentine's Day, this is my favorite non-holiday. I'm not really sure as to why but it always is, I guess I just like the idea of Love. Tonight I had a few people in mind to receive these as I made them, #1 my Mom cause she loves pigs, #2 my neighbor, #3 my bff. Though I thought they were  stinking cute - I had to make them. Each treat box is a different shade of pink, and knowing my collection of card stock I had lots of shades to choose from.
 
I filled them up with yummy chocolates, Ferrero Rocher, Kit Kat bars, fudge and hot chocolate sticks. This kit is from Lettering Delights, Hogs for Kisses.

Keep checking back as I will be in a Spring Craft Sale on March 23rd, 2013. I hope to give you some sneak peaks at what I'll have at my table.

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone!
Cheers,
