Fall Fun!

I am participating in a fun little swap with some friends of mine – everyone is making a fall themed card! I’ve been kicking my idea around for awhile…and finally settled on this. It is a lot of work, but I am so pleased with the end result, the time invested doesn’t matter!
I designed the [...]

A Big Chocolate Hug

Sunday was a lovely fall day at my house. Windows open, nice cool breeze, and the vague scent of someone burning leaves somewhere. So I decided to break out a “warm” stamp, that I have not used in a while. I also thought I’d catch up on some SCS challenges this week, and the sketch [...]

A Funny Thing Happened…

I started out this afternoon with the grand idea of doing two blog challenges on one card. The first challenge I picked was Jeanne S.’s JBWW challenge – all about some stitching. Next I stopped by Jen’s blog and checked out her Sketch For You To Try (SFYTT). I loved it! Once I had my ideas [...]

Finally – It’s All Clean!

I’ve shared pictures of my space before, but I’m just so pleased with my re-organization that I thought I’d share a few more. I started this project with a goal in mind: make what I have work better fo rme. I’ve notice that I always end up with a mess after I stamp – which [...]

Delightful Friend

I made this card for Beate’s Weekend Sketch Challenge. What a great sketch it is!!!! I love simple and easy – this sketch will get loads of use! I made my card a 4.25″ square, just to do something different last night.
My base is Chocolate Chip. The fabulous patterened paper is from basic Grey’s Mellow [...]

Cute Little Hang Dog

I made this little quickie on Monday – I’m so slow with the uploads! DD really wanted to sit in my lap, so I knew whatever I made was going to have to be fast and easy, so we could get to the important stuff — playtime and stories.
I started this card with Jeanne S’s [...]

A Major Overhaul….

I have decided to reorganize my stamp space, completely. Yikes. But hopefully, in the end, it will be wonderful. It functions pretty well now. And if I had the budget, I’d buy some new furniture (cubes and shelves) – but I don’t! So I’m gonna spend some quality time making my space work better for [...]

You’re the One!

I did this for last week’s Sketch Challenge. I modified the sketch a little – my focal panel should have gone all the way across the card. Ooops!! I think it is a cute sketch the way it is, though. Then again, anything with this adorable Lizzie Anne Designs duck is cute!!!!! And the saying……too [...]

Hey, Pumpkin!

Here’s a little Halloween quickie! I got these cute Daisy D’s cardstock die cuts from Jacksonbelle’s store, and promptly misplaced them (if you could see my stamp room, you understand why!). I found them on Sunday, just after I swore I was done stamping for the day. But I couldn’t resist – I [...]

Check This Out!!!

Do you have Copic Marker envy????? I do! They are soooooo not in my budget, though! So I’ve been content to just drool all over the gallery uploads. But no more!!!! Go over to Julie’s blog, Paper Pleasing Ideas, and look at this tutorial – you will be blown away!! She is gonna teach you, step by [...]

Fairies for a Cure

I was feeling kind of under the weather yesterday, so I relaxed, hung out with DH and DD, and made a few cards. I’ve been meaning to do a few cards for the contest over at Lizzie Anne Designs – not because I think I’m going to win anything, but because the wonderful ladies in [...]

One Card, Two Challenges!

The mailman was kind enough to bring me my new stamps from Lizzie Anne Designs on Friday!!! They got here SUPER fast! One of my favorites is this sentiment, Good Cheer. Cute, isn’t it?? When I saw this week’s Limited Supply Challenge – to highlight a sentiment and some patterned/designer paper, I just KNEW what [...]

Sometimes, people say things…

…and it just could not make any more sense. Lightbulb moments, kwim? I ran across this post today on Nicole Seitler’s blog, The Inkblog, and just HAD to share it. She shared a quote from another blog about the two types of *don’t know*. It is really interesting stuff. How many people do you know [...]

Just Because I Wanted To…

I did the *Just Because We Wanna* challenge that BadSherry and Jeanne S host each week! This week it is a sketch challenge, with I think I’ve decided is my favorite kind of challenge. I’m so lazy – I love it when the sketch is done for me!!!!!
I got some new Basic Grey paper in [...]

Guest Hosting a Challenge

Patty (pattyb) asked me to guest host her weekly Workshop WOW challenge for her this week, since she is out of town. What fun!! I had a really hard time narrowing down what I wanted to do, so I kind of combined a few things! For those of you who don’t know, on the demo [...]
