"Fore" You

***Note to self...check to make sure preposted post really did post as scheduled!



I have had this image from Bugaboo ready to be made into a card for some time now.  This was the perfect image for a "guy" card.  The bugaboo images are so cute and so easy to color.  I kept it on the simple side...errr...meaning, no ribbons or frilly anything.  The DP is from the My Mind's Eye Lil' Robots collection, Laser Lines.  The colors of the stripes matched perfectly to my colored image.  I don't know about you but I never pick my DP until after I have colored my image.  Sometimes that can be quite the challenge!  I added a piece of green that was embossed with the Argyle embossing folder.  I used the Tiny Bubbles embossing folder and a circle punch to make some golf balls.  I generated the sentiment on the computer and make it into a little flag.  I have been on a roll lately with "guy" cards.  Maybe I better make a few more while the mojo is flowing.

I even finished off the inside...



Confession to make...this card didn't quite make it on time, so it is getting to it's destination a little late.

Stamp Something - Use a Digi

Love for the Beach


Now this is a fun image...the beach, a pail and lots of hearts.  Beach Love is from D2D and it just screamed fun, summer colors.  After coloring and die cutting, I inked the edges and added some Enamel Accents to the scallop layer.  The blue DP is "lil' Robots from My Mind's Eye and the sand is from The Paper Studio.  I generated the sentiment on the computer and added a little sticker from K & Company.

Another Pink Birthday


Another pink birthday card.  Here is my very "girly" take on Rosie Ballerina by Whimsy & Stars Studio.  I love gingham and the color pink, so this DP by The Paper Studio was perfect for this image.  I added a strip of DP by American Crafts, I Heart You and a punched strip from the MS, Trellis Deep Edge punch.  I didn't want to cover up the hearts, so I used some sheer white ribbon with the addition of a pink button.  The sentiment is from PTI and embellished with three dimensional heart stickers.  I am working on getting my stash of birthday cards stocked for upcoming birthdays. 

Challenges:
Truly Scrumptious - Buttons and Bows
Scrapbook Sisters - Happy Birthday

Cupcake & Roses Birthday Wishes

Buttons, Buttons, Buttons...


Who could wish for more on a birthday than a yummy, delicious cupcake and some roses?  Well, I altered the image, "Cupcake and Roses" by D2D and added some felt flowers of some sort, not really roses, but I will take fresh flowers of any variety,  any day of the year.  The challenge was to use at least 3 buttons and I think I surpassed by a couple more.  I do believe that this is the most buttons that I have ever put on a card.  I have had this "Cupcake" DP by The Paper Studio for some time now and that ended up being my inspiration for the pink/brown color combo.  The felt flowers are from SU! and it seems the more I use the more they multiply.  Let's just say that I have gotten my money's worth from that purchase.  The sentiment is from Heidi Grace, stamped with brown ink.  Oh, and lets not forget the chunky, glittery goodness on the icing!

**If you play along with the Delightful Inspiration's Monthly Progressive Challenge, I have some good news for you this week.  It's been quite a busy week for Faith and since there isn't a new image, she is allowing everyone that played along last week to pick an image of their choice.  This week's challenge will be to use any D2D image.  How great is that?? 

Challenges:
Die Cuttin' Divas - Sweet Treats
Top Tip Tuesday - Make it Girlie
KB Cute Monday - Food and Beverage
Stamps R Us - Happy Birthday
Come have some fun and play along with us for a chance to win a great prize.

Boy Birthday


I have been spoiled by 2 granddaughters and used to making "girly" cards and frilly stuff.  Now that I have a grandson, I need to get in the groove to make "boy" cards and non-frilly stuff.   I have had this darling image by Bugaboo sitting on my workspace colored and waiting to be made into a card.  Yesterday was the day and I tried to keep within the "boy" guidelines...no frilly anything or big fluffy bows.  I think, it all worked out just fine.  Since, I always struggle with birthday cards for boys, this will fit the bill, perfectly.  I used some star paper from the All About Boys stack by DCWV and the Numbers embossing folder by Provo Craft.  The sentiment is a stamp by Heide Grace, punched with the Ticket Corner punch by SU!  A  red star and a blue brad finish off this "boyish" card.

Challenges:
Totally Gojuss - Punch or Die Cut
Lollipop Crafts - Anything Goes
The Crafty Pad - Embossing, heat or dry
The Corrosive Challenges - All About Kids

It's a Rosie Kind of Day


Happy Wednesday!  It's a Rosie Posie kind of day...well, in card creations anyway.  Another cutie patootie by Mabelle from Whimsy & Stars Studio.  I am loving the color combo that I used for this card.  Luckily after coloring Rosie Posie, I had some DP that matched.  That is not always the case :(...and you would think with all the DP that I have hoarded, that would NEVER be the case.  Both DP's are from DCWV (Citrus Stack & Amber Autumn).  A big orange polka dot bow and a blue button was the finishing touch.

Warm Wednesday Wishes to YOU!

You're So Sweet


Such a sweet image by Designed2Delight and if you have been playing along all month, this was one of the "Stamps of the Month" freebies.  I am a berry kind of person, the strange kind of girl that would choose berries over chocolate any day :).  So how could I not create with this sweet image?!!  There is something about gingham that reminds me of summertime and the green gingham paper from Hobby Lobby matched perfectly with Imaginice's, Flower Trails DP.  The sentiment from Fiskar's, Cupcakes and More was spot on for this image.  I layered a white prima flower, a punch from SU! and a yellow brad as an accent.  3 sweet, little pearls finish off my card.

I hope you have a sweet day!

D2D's Saturday Challenge


This week's challenge is hosted by Kim.
What a great theme for the middle of July.
Here is my take on the theme...


I could handle a week or two at the beach right now.  Anywhere with water to cool off would work for me.  I chose one of the images from the Tropical Christmas set by D2D.  The coloring was done with my Copic markers.  I finally broke down and bought some refills for my Copic markers.  Not too cool when you have expensive markers that are running out of ink :(.  I used some DP from My Mind's Eye (Summer Song) and some cork for the sand.  The sentiment sticker is from K & Company. 

I hope you have a little getaway planned for sometime this summer.

New Home

Thanks so much for all your sweet comments about my published card.  I enjoy sharing my love for card making with all of you and I have the best followers :)


"Home"

I am loving this "home" image by Whimsy & Stars Studio.  What a perfect design for someone that has just moved into a new home.  I colored up the image, cut it out with my circle die cuts, added the picket fence (MS) and a SU! sentiment (Everyday Celebrations).  I used DP from My Mind's Eye (Be Loved) and DCWV (The Guy Stack).  This will be going postal soon for someone special that moved into a new home.

Thanks for stopping by!

Published :)

I am sooo....excited that one of my cards was chosen to be published in the September issue of CardMaker magazine.  I haven't been published very many times, but I have a feeling that no matter how many times it happens, you always get the wonderful feeling that I am feeling right now.  The UPS man just dropped off a big envelope that contained the published card and 2 issues of CardMaker magazine. 

Here is my winning card....


"Apple a Day" by Designed 2 Delight

My card is on page 46.

I really needed this about right now.  It has been a rough couple of weeks and hopefully things will start to look up again.

Summer Bug


Another sweet Whimsy and Stars Studio Summertime image.  The whole Mimi Bug line is so irresistible.  They are all so sweet and versatile.  I did something a little different on this card.  I stamped alot of random flowers on the background and added glossy accents to the centers giving them some shine.  Glossy accent were added to Mimi's wings.  I love Mimi Bug in her pink and purple sundress...so girly :) 

TGIF to You!

Welcome Little One

Another sweet, new image from Whimsy and Stars Studio...


Sweet, sweet, sweet....I am loving this little sweet pea and just by changing the colors, you can make it for a boy or a girl.  This was a quick and easy image to color.  I make a frame with my die cuts and used some DP from The Guy Stack by DCWV.  The sentiment is from an older SU! set, Rivets. 

Stay tuned for more of the new Summertime images by Whimsy and Stars Studio.  Mabelle is the best!

I will be in St. Louis visiting my new grandson all week.  Will have lots of photos when I return.  I am preposting and hopefully everything will go as scheduled with Blogger.

Goin' Buggy

Theme: Goin' Buggy (Use a bug image, bonus use your Cricut or Cuttlebug)
DT Host : Kris Breach


I went a little "buggy" with my card today.  I used the "Ladybug Balancing Act" from D2D and used my Cuttlebug to emboss the yellow card stock and die cut my image.  I added a little orange felt button to the center of the flower.  The DP in from the Black & White collection by Making Memories.  The image was colored up with Copics, Glossy Accents added to the ladybug dots and I sponged ink around the edge of the image with the die cut still in place.  The sentiment is from the Cute Converse set by SU!

Feel Better Soon



Another adorable image from Whimsy & Stars Studio.   Wouldn't it be great to cure any illness with a really big band-aid?  When my children were little, a band-aid was a cure-all whether it was a real or "pretend" ouchie...LOL.  The DP is from Peebles Treehouse and the sentiment stamp is from Hampton Arts. 

I have so many colored images that need to be made into a card or something creative and this happens to be one of them.  I think, I am on a roll this week, getting all those images made into cards, finally!

A great image to have on hand when someone you know is a little under the weather.

Dance in the Rain

I feel like this card sums up my life...


Since I feel like I am always trying to weather another "storm" in my life, I need to learn to just dance in the rain.  Sorry for the lack of posts lately and I have no real excuse other than life seems to get in the way of my creativity sometimes and leaves me with lack of creativity.  I dislike it when that happens :(

Happy Father's Day

Have you ever made a card and everything just fell into place and turned out better than you ever expected?  Well, I am not the best at "guy cards", but I have to say that this has to be the best "guy card" I have ever created.   I absolutely love this "Quiet Sunset" digi by D2D and couldn't wait to color it up with my colored pencils and gamisol.  I did use Copics on the boat.  How about that great "woodgrain technique" that I learned today on Stamp TV?  Awesome and so masculine!!  I knew it would be perfect for this card.    I added some eyelets and jute since I knew I could add any bows or flowers.  I hope this will give you some inspiration for Father's Day next month.

Ballerina Teddy

**Thanks for all congrats for my new grandson....You are all the sweetest!**

Yea....Blogger is back up and running great :)



I am showcasing another one of Mabelle's (Whimsy & Stars Studio) new Spring images.  You can go to Mabelle's Etsy shop and check out all of her adorable images.  I couldn't resist coloring up this cute little ballerina and making her into a card for someone sweet.  I added glitter to the skirt, the star on the wand and some chunky glitter around the star wand.  I made my own homemade flower using a flower die cut, a pink felt button, a white button and a pink pearl.  The flower die cut was embossed with a swiss dot embossing folder.

There are more ideas for the new images here.

Three For You

**YIKES...After the problems with blogger...I seem to have lost my challenge links on this post, If you are visiting because I entered this card into a challenge, I do apologize.***


First, I want to shout out a big CONGRATULATIONS to Penny (luvs 2 Paint & Create) for winning the "Windsong" digi during the Mother's Day Weekend Blog Hop.  I can't thank all of you enough for all your sweet comments and I do hope that I was able to give you a little bit of inspiration.


Second, I become a grandma again on Saturday...My 1st grandson was born (I already have 2 granddaughters) and it was the best Mother's Day gift I have ever received.  I can't wait to go visit and give him lots of love.  Congrats to my son, Chris and his wife Erin!!

Now, thanks for being so patient, here is my card.

I used a freebie, "Three for You", that I picked up from Tiddy Inks some time ago and have had it colored and waiting to be made into a card.  It's kind of a modern looking image and I wanted to keep the card simple, clean and modern looking.  I did my three button layering that I seem to like so much lately and added Glossy Accents to the stripes on the yellow/blue vase and orange polka dots on the blue vase.  The centers of each flower have a mini brad added.  Once, I figured out what direction I was going with this card, it ended up being pretty quick to finish.

Since I am feeling so blessed this week, I am going to give away a set of my note cards from this post to one lucky commenter.  It's a set of 6 note cards with envelopes included.  You can keep them for yourself or they would make a great gift for someone.

Thanks for stopping by!

MIA

Just to let all my followers know that I am back after a very scary few days.  We were part of the tornado that ripped through the state of Alabama and left a lot of damage and devastation.  We were without power since last Wednesday and had no phone service (home or cell) and no internet service.  Everything was restored for us on Sunday and now I have a lot of catching up to do.  I am blessed that no one I know was hurt in the tornados. I pray and my heart is heavy for all the families across the south that weren't so lucky.  I will be back soon with a new card post.
