Beautiful Butterfly

One more sleep until Christmas!

Today we are just lounging around the house playing games and maybe a little stamping.

We are having spiral honey ham for dinner tonight...YUM!

Yesterday before I started cleaning the house I decided I'd do a little crafting...fun times!

Thursday's Ways to Use It Challenge was about popping it up. I also used Wednesday's sketch 312.

This is a Stampin' Up Only card.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Enjoy your Christmas Eve!

MFT cutie

I had big plans yesterday to tackle so many different chores and well it started off good....but then I sat down and I was done! ha!
I managed to get some important things done like go to the vet for Snickers food, the pet store for Fozzy's food, laundry and of course stamp. I still have so many things on my to-do list it isn't funny! Not to worry, I'll get 'em done....I always do!
My thank you card below was made for the WT challenge of ribbon on SCS and it also uses Mercy's MTSC78 sketch.
I stamped the PI girl from Hip to be Square and coloured her with copics. The flower was made using a blossom nestie shape and some fun MFT felt. The petals were created with the small and large oval punches from SU!. I stamped the thank you sentiment from Apple for You. Sort of a different thank you card for one of the teachers.

Stamps: Apple for You, Hip to be Square; Cardstock: White, Lemon Tart, Wasabi, Cosmo Cricket DeLovely DP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Oval Punches, White Brad, Die-namics Grass, Felt, Mat Pack and Paper Piercer, Ribbon, Dimensionals

DUDE - You Rock!

Happy Friday Gang!
I'm sooooooooooo looking forward to the weekend!! The weather is going to be beautiful and I hope to spend a great deal of time enjoying it for once! I spend way too much time in a concrete jungle....blah!
Yesterday I made another quick 10 minute card for the Ways To Use It Challenge - Distressing.
Distressing is something I don't often do so I went super simple with this one. I used another new Verve set called Dude. What a fun set with little sentiments!

Stamps: Dude; Cardstock: Kraft, October Afternoon DP; Inks: Choc Chip, Close to Cocoa, Really Rust, Creamy Caramel; Accessories: Paper Piercer, Distressing Tool, Dimensionals
Thanks for visiting me today!

I'm Sorry

Happy Friday!

Well our weather looks to be turning nice again! Thank goodness! All I can say is that all this snow better make my lawn nice and GREEN!

I've got another My Favorite Things card to share with you. In case I haven't said it before, I'm in love with these adorable Pure Innocence girls!
I combined the SCS sketch and Ways To Use It Challenge(pins).

Thanks for stopping by today! Stop back tomorrow for a My Time Made Easy post! Have a wonderful day!

Hi, it's me...and Sending You Sunshine

Good Afternoon!
I wanted to share a couple of challenge cards that I made.
This first one uses the SCS sketch from yesterday and the adorable Heart Stripes girl from MFT.

This second one was made for today's WT challenge of chipboard crazy. I used a plain mini scroll that I left unfinished to match the kraft cardstock from Couture.
The stamps are of some sneak peeks from My Time Made Easy.
Here I stamped the Sending You Sunshine in Summer Sun from the Sensational Sentiments. The little flowers and stripe are from Paper Pattern Pieces. I stamped those in White craft ink.

Thanks for stopping by this afternoon! Have a wonderful Thursday!

My Time...

It was so nice to have yesterday off! Although I didn't get as much stamping done as I would have liked, I did manage to get two completed :)
Both cards below use the SCS sketch from Wednesday and the Ways To Use It Challenge of Mixing Patterns. I ♥ mixing patterns!
My first card uses the set All A Flutter Sentiments from My Time Made Easy. Last week before leaving for Calgary my package from Lauren arrived and boy did she spoil me rotten!!! Wait until you see the upcoming release! I'm so excited to be joining in this month! Stay tuned....next week ;)
Ok back to my card! I used some pretty American Crafts designer paper and a Martha butterfly punch to finish it off.

My second card uses an Inkadinkado stamp set called Birthday Cupcakes. I stopped in to a local scrapbooking store called Scrap-a-Lot and picked up some of the fun AC Dear Lizzy embellishments. I don't know why I didn't pick them up when I got the paper a couple of weeks ago. I don't often use these sort of embellishments but they are FUN!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope to have some energy after working today to stamp this evening :)
Have a WONDERFUL Friday!

Friends Brighten Your Day

It's the weekend and with the weather the way it is...I'm happy that I'm working...haha!
Yesterday morning we woke up to snow...blah! Most of it was gone by the afternoon but the winds continue....
Today I'd like to share a card I made on Thursday for the Ways To Use It Challenge- Angled Interest and also for the MFT sketch that Cindy posted in the forum.
I've used the super cute and adorable Umbrella Girl!
I made a mistake when I stuck the girl on...she's too low and covers part of the sentiment :(

Stamps: Umbrella Girl, Rain or Shine; Cardstock: Kraft, So Saffron, Real Red, Cream, MME dp; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Border Punch, White Candy Dots, Ribbon, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Take Care of Yourself

I promise to stop using this My Mind's Eye dp real soon....I am almost out...lol
Every time I buy new papers I use them for a bit and then MORE come out and they get pushed to the back of the drawers. Well I have decided that when I buy things, I need to use them and not hoard them. I can't promise that I won't buy MORE paper though ;)
Yesterday's Ways To Use it Challenge was Angled Interest.
Pretty simple card.

Stamps: Upsy Daisy; Cardstock: White, Real Red, MME dp; Inks: So Saffron, Black; Accessories: Nesties, Ribbon, Modern Label punch, Martha butterfly punch, Stickles, Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today!

Thank You WT challenge - Sweet Child

The Ways to Use it Challenge was to use a sweet child image on your card. I used one of my new MFT PI girls Apple For You.
I'd almost forgotten about this fun SU! dp called Summer Picnic!! It was a fave of mine a couple of years ago.

Stamps: Apple for You; Cardstock: White, Real Red, Summer Picnic DSP; Inks: Memento Black; Accessories: Copics, Nesties, Border Punch, Old Olive Ribbon, Dimensionals

Hi, it's me...Wishing you a happy birthday

I was in need of a birthday card for a co-worker and was lucky that the Ways To Use It Challenge was to make some sort of a celebration card! Julia has been posting a WT challenge for FIVE years! Wow!
I was hoping when I got home from work Thursday that my Stamping Bella order had arrived but it hadn't :(
BUT I do have these cute PI girls from MFT to keep me happy!
I decided to play with the Flower Girl image that I got from Stampers Dream.

The inside was stamped using the Basic Birthdays set from Papertrey.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a GREAT Friday!

Just a quick little card...

that I'm sharing with you today!
This was another card made for the Ways To Use It Challenge....What's New?
I recently picked up some of these pretty Jenni Bowlin butterflies but hadn't opened the package....what a shame, eh? Such a pretty butterfly~!

I'm at work until the early afternoon then I hope to be home stamping! Have a FANTASTIC day!

WT261 What's New?

Yesterday's Ways to Use it Challenge was What's New?
Lookie me....I used black again! I really like the black with the Iced Teal Prism and Lush papers.
I stamped the image in Versafine Black and embossed in black as well.
I used my new Martha border punch too!
So new prism, new dp and a new punch!

Thanks for stopping by today!
