For My Love on Valentine's Day

Happy Tuesday! I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. I got a bunch of the new Memory Box dies and couldn't wait to pay with them though I didn't use any of the new ones on this Valentine's Day card. The pretty heart in the corner is from a previous release. I also watched the Super Bowl like many of you probably did, now on to Nascar, Yeah can't wait! I am a motorhead at heart.

This week at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations we are celebrating Valentines's Day since it is right around the corner so the theme for this week's challenge is an easy one create a Valentine. As you can see I decided to go the non-traditional color route for my Valentine. I got this adorable image at Paper Shelter and thought immediately of this DP from Bearly Mine that I bought sometime last summer. I think it is a perfect match and I love the colors in it. The DP actually has some hints of pink in it though the camera didn't pick it up real well. It only took a few swipes of my Copics to tie the two together. What do you think? We can't wait to see your Valentine's so come play with us. Kristen over at Scrap-Creations is also offering a prize to one lucky player so go over and find out what it is!

A Special Birthday

Happy Friday! The weather here in New England is perfect. Just like a summer day should be, warm but not roasting like last week. We celebrated a very special birthday at my house. My daughter turned 30. It is hard to believe that she is this old, where do the years go. I guess that makes me older than I feel and hopefully look! I wanted to make sure I made a very special card with everything that she loves, the color pink, roses, pearls, lacey things and anything that sparkles. I decided to use my Rubber Stamp Tapestry Rose Set because of the softness you can create. I made the heart shape to show our love for her. It is hard to see in the picture but I dotted all the small accent flowers on the heart with diamond Stickles. I am so glad that she liked it.

We Wish You A Merry Christmas....

Surprise! Can you believe that I have a post two days in a row? This never happens but I did finish this card and decided to post it before I got sidetracked. It is a little early to be thinking about Christmas but I wanted to play with this stamp from Lilli of the Valley. I bought it last year and just never found the time to ink it up until now.

I had a lot of fun coloring it though there was so much detail to it I was afraid I would get it almost all colored and mess part of it up and have to start over. I usually have a hard  time fixing red so I colored that first. I used these 3 DP from Bearly Mine because I love the red and tealish color together. I also added lots of different color glitters on the card. There is gold on the large poinsetta and the poinsettas with the sentiment. there is diamond glitter on the fur trims and the snow. I also glittered where I distressed around the sheet music. the whole card really sparkles, I tried to show it in the second picture.
                        
                                
                                                 Can you see all the sparkle?

From My Garden

Happy Tuesday!!! It is time for another challenge over at
                         Going Grey with Scrap-Creations.

This week we have a recipe for you to follow, use at least 2 different DPs and and 2 different embellishments. these are to of my favorite things to use on cards. I love DP and now that I have found digital DP (I love the Bearly Mine Designs digital DP) I am printing it often! I was always a paper hoarder always afraid I would use it up and then need it for another card. With digital paper I am in heaven because I will never run out of my favorites!
I never make a card without some embellishments on it so you will always see at least 2 on my card, ribbon and flowers are my favorites. How about you, what are your favorites?

Summer Friends

Happy Summer! I hope everyone is enjoying the summer like I am so far. The weather here in New England has been beautiful so far. We are just having our first days of 90 something degrees here this week. It definitely puts me in a happy mood.

I decided that I would make this card using this adorable image from LOTV. I have had it colored for a while but didn't feel creative enough to make something with it. There were butterflies out in my garden last week and it made me think of the image so I created this fun card. I am giving it to a little boy from school when I write to him to see how he is enjoying his summer. I made it open from the side because he was always asking me why my cards open the wrong way (Hallmark has him brainwashed).

Here are some challenges that fit my card

My Garden Journal

Hello and Happy Tuesday! I feel like I haven't been on my blog for so long even though I just missed a week. Last week was one of those weeks that seems like it would never end. It was the last week of school and we had so much planned that I seemed to work around the clock, we did a craft everyday to go along with the theme of the day, (I planned all the crafts and brought in everything to do them). The last day of school was a full day for staff so I spent the afternoon doing creative bulletinboards for a couple of teachers, so needless to say the last week and a half has pushed my creativity to the limit.

Being Tuesday it is also time for another challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. This week we have a theme that was so different for me to do. The theme this week is Anything But A Card. I decided to do a garden journal for myself. I am getting into gardening and need to keep a journal so I know where I planted everything and what didn't do well so I can move it for the next year. I wanted something pretty so I could leave it out. When I saw this pretty flower fairy I knew it was perfect for the cover.  It is hard to see but I have lots of glitter on all the flowers(the second picture shows it a bit better), the journal was a dark green color so I painted it a light blue. I am very happy with the way it came out. Our sponsor this week is Wee Stamps. Their images are so adorable, they are Wonderful!                                                                 

So be sure to play along with us this week if you would like to try to win some of these adorable images.

I love the dress template and am going to try to create one this week and will post it here when I do.

Simple Pleasures

Good Morning! I have a list of things around the house that I was going to do. I went down to start mowing through the craft room and found this image I colored a couple of weeks ago when I got together with my stamping friends. I decided I would work around the mess and make a card with the image instead of cleaning. It definitely made for a happy day for me!

The pretty striped DP is one of the freebies from Bearly Mine Designs for February. The colors in it are so my favorites and love the color on color stripes. When I started to put the card together I couldn't find any floral DP in my stash that complimented the back round and matched the colors I used on the image so I made my own DP. I pulled out my Rubber Stamp Tapestry sets, my ink pads (they are so neglected since I started coloring with Copics) and some white shimmer paper and started stamping. I am really happy with the results, the colors match pretty close. I decided to add some sparkle so I dabbed the flower centers with a bit of Crystal Stickles. It was quicker to make it than looking through my stash of DP for some that worked.

Here are some wonderful challenge that fit my card

Happy Birthday Challenge Going Grey with Scrap-Creations

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday! This is vacation week for me I am loving it. I am hoping to make lots of cards and I really need to clean and reorganize my craft area. Being creative is a messy process for me and I tend to leave a trail behind me. I am in trouble when there are piles everywhere and that is where I am now.

I am really loving using digital paper on my creations. I fell in love with this star paper from Bearly Mine Designs and knew it was perfect for a birthday card. Knowing that I loved this DP I bought the MFT star Die-namics to go with it. I also couldn't resist glittering the stars for some sparkle on the card. This cute digi is one of Mo Mannings that I love!

Being Tuesday it is also time for another fabulous challenge over at Going Grey with Scrap-Creations. This week we have a fun theme that everyone can play along with, BIRTHDAYS! How easy is this theme so come play with us this week. The ladies have made some gorgeous birthday cards to inspire your own birthday creations.
