Bunny Friend

Hi!  Thanks for stopping by my blog today!  Sorry I haven't been around much lately but my life has been a bit crazy to say the least!  Hopefully everything has calmed down a bit now and I can get back to what I love the most, making cards and projects!

Today's card is for Sunday Sketch and Stamp.  Mira has provided us with an awesome sketch today, hop on over to the challenge blog to check it out!

I used Tilda with her Bunny and Wheelbarrow.  The designer paper is from Memory Box, which I picked up from my LSS, Simple Pleasures.

I am also entering this card in the Magnolia Stamp Lover's Ribbon challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Forever and a Day

Good Morning!  Today is Daylight Savings Day, I have to say I really do not like changing the time twice a year it would perfectly fine with me to do away with it all together! 

It's also time for another sketch challenge at Sunday Sketch and Stamp.  This week Marie has challenged us with a wonderful sketch, stop on by and check it out.

Here is my project.  I decided to make a wall hanging for Katie's room.  It measures 8" x 8", I used paper from the new Jack and Jill collection from Prima Marketing.  The lovely dies are cut with my Cricut and embellished with WOC flowers.  My image is a new one from hAnglar, I just love her wavy hair.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Birthday

Sorry I am late posting my card for Cute Card Thursday.  We are celebrating our third birthday and want you join the celebration!  Simply make a birthday card and follow the rules.

I found this paper recently and I have to say it has become one of my favorites.  I've used it quite a bit lately :)  It is call "Happily Ever After".  The colors are so soft and elegant.  I used an adorable baby image from hAnglar.

My post is short today but I'm off and running!!  I need to leave to pick Josh from school, then later on this evening we are going shopping for a big girl bed for Katie...she is growing up way to fast.  No more crib for her!

Thanks for stopping by!

Dream

Good day to you!  Today is Thursday which means it is time for another challenge at Cute Card Thursday.  This week we have a great sketch by Christine, here is her sketch

And here is my card:

I just LOVE the new collection from Magnolia, Butterfly Dreams.  I used Tilda in Butterfly Dress for my image today, isn't she just the cutest!   Designer paper is from Magnolia (newsprint) and Prima Marketing, Jack and Jill (ladybugs).  I really like the Prima collection too it really has some great prints in it!  The flowers are from Michaels, Recollection collection and Wild Orchid craft.

I hope everyone has a splenderifious day!!  I am going out to dinner with my hubby at our favorite Greek restaurant tonight for my birthday dinner!

Feathers, Flowers and Fluttery...

Thanks for stopping by today!  It's not such a great day for me today, my dad has had several TIA strokes over the past couple of years and yesterday he had a couple more.  They tested his carotid artery, one is clear the other has 98% blockage so surgery will be soon but they want him to wait so he can recover from the strokes first.

So one way that I keep myself busy (he lives 1,000's of miles from me) is to cook or craft! Yesterday was a cooking day, I made homemade brownies, finnish coffee bread, chocolate chip cookies, stew for dinner, and homemade pot stickers, LOL!  Today is a craft day and blog updating day!  This is the project that I made for the Magnolia Ink contest this month.  They wanted to see an Easter project.  I have thought about this project for about 2 months now and finally got it finished.

  

I bought the cutest little mini birdcage from Michaels and fancied it up with feathers, flowers and birds.  I used a new Magnolia, Tilda in Lace Jeans, Little Birds and Mini Two Eggs.  I used some sparkly little mini bird eggs inside of a soft little feather nest.  The crystal flower sprig is from Michaels too.   I took lots of pictures this time, so sit back and enjoy!

I am also entering this into the Magnolia-Licious Highlites Spring Challenge!

Thanks for dropping by, you really made my day!

Happy Birthday!!

I'm so excited today, after going to CHA and having so much fun there and demonstrating the new Scor-Pal my local Stamping/Scrapbook Store, Simple Pleasures asked me to demo it for their Anniversary celebration today.  I'm so excited and can't wait to show more people how absolutely wonderful my Scor-Pal is!

February is a big birthday month in our family, Katie turned 3 at the beginning of the month and my birthday is this week!  So in honor of the birthdays I chose to do a birthday card theme at One Stop Craft Challenge.  I'm asking for a birthday card that has a cake on it because after all who doesn't LOVE cake!!  Chocolate is my favorite, what is yours?

I make a cake easel card, actually there are two cakes on my card!  The more the merrier!  I used Love Cake and Tilda with Amaryllis.  I used my Scor-Pal to score diagonal lines into my base cake, I saw this on someone's blog but can't remember who so I'm sorry that I can't give them credit.  I decorated my cake with lots of pearls, lace and flowers!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you have some yummy cake today!

Twisted Easel Card

I'm late posting my Cute Card Thursday again, shame on me!  Anyway, the theme this week is "Shiny Happy Cards".  I made this card for my brother-in-law's birthday coming up in March.  This is my first twisted easel card, it was pretty easy to make and kind of cool to look at!!  My image is a hAnglar & stAnglar, such a cute little picnic boy, don't you think??

My "Shiny" pieces are the flowers, they are all made from metal.  I cut metal sheething flowers with a Tim Holtz die for the Big Shot.  Other than that, it is a pretty simple card.  I guess you really can't get too frilly for a male card.  I did a lot of sewing and used a Martha Stewart punch for the border on the bottom.

The sentiments are from LOTV and SU.

Thanks for stopping by!  See you tomorrow!
