T.G.I.F. - SMC Challenge Day!

Hello & happy Friday to you! So glad you could stop by today, Sew Many Cards challenge this week is to create a Halloween project:

A closer view:


For this card I used the oh so cute image called: Tayla & Jaden Halloween, I used one of the Asian Cuttlebug folders & the stars were once clear & were colored with Copic markers.


This week's sponsor is:

I had the pleasure of working with a great image called Boat at Sea:

A closer look:

Sure hope you'll join us this week so head on over to the challenge blog & see what the prize is as well! Have a great day!

Happy Anniversary

Wow I cannot believe it's Thursday already, I must say having Monday & Tuesday off was great but now I can't seem to remember which day it is... sweet problem to have huh?

Well I probably shouldn't post this today so I'm not going to say who this card is for in case they do visit from time to time & happen to visit today... but showing more Christmas cards at this time seems to be a bit over the top to me, I'll share more next week :)

A closer view:

The digi image is a Cuddly Buddly image, too cute isn't it. I thought it was perfect for the occasion. Thanks for coming by today & I hope you enjoyed what I had to share. Oh & I'm still working on my package for blog candy I still plan to share by this weekend, be sure to come on back now. Have a great day!

Trick or Treat

Good Morning & happy Wednesday to you! I'm so glad you had the chance to stop by today, unfortunately for me I have to go back to work, boo hoo. Yes I'm not too happy but what can you do, need to pay the bills & pay for my craft stuff too, huh? Anyway, here's a little card I made using Stampendous's cute little trick or treater's stamps from last year:

A closer view:

I think the little set was $4.99 at Archiver's, can't go wrong so many things you can do with these little cuties :) That's all I have for today, must go get ready to begin my day back at work, hope you have a great day!





P.S. This happens to be post #250 for me so I'm working on putting together my first ever blog candy this week, stay tuned!

More Cute Bears to Share

Good Morning, thanks for coming by today! While most people return to work here the states today after the Labor Day holiday I myself have one more day :) Unfortunately it also means I'm off to the doctor for a check-up... let's hope it's nothing but "good news". Anyway I have more cute bear cards to share using the Stampavie stamps:

A closer look:

For this one I used royal blue & light blue, makes it look different now doesn't it? Again a fun image to color... I'm off to try to enjoy this last day of my mini vacation & sure hope to get a bit more creating done as well. Have a great day!

Busy, Busy, Busy

Busy, that's me. I worked in my craft room all day today with the exception of making meals for my DH & DD. I was able to get all my projects done for this week's DT challenges for both SMC & TCC believe it or not. I also made my DH's birthday card as tomorrow is his birthday.

All that aside, I have a new obsession, if you follow my blog or worked with me on DT's you know I love "Teddy Bears", I collect stuffed bears, knick knack bears & bear stamps of all kinds :) Recently Stampavie released some new Christmas stamps & I was hooked. I practically have to have them all, I already have all 3 bears & the cute kittie cat. I also have 3 more on the way as I said I'm "obsessed"... Anyway, last week after the bears were delivered I had to get a couple stamped up & began my coloring. Here's the first one I did which just so happens to meet this week's Just Cute Bear Challenge so you can bet I'm entering this one :)

A closer look:
Well although this is a Christmas card & I'm starting to get in the holiday mood, those cards I made today were not Christmas so don't think I've gotten too carried away :) I hope you like it & be sure to stop by again this week as I have about 3 more of these to share. Thanks for stopping by!

Sew Many Challenges - Thank You!

Hello & I cannot believe I haven't blogged all week again, I'm afraid I was out of town on business most of this week for my "day job" & it has to take priority over my passion for creating. But as soon as I returned I got right to it today & have some cute (if I don't say so myself) cards to share with you.

This week SMC's challenge is to honor the upcoming Grandparent's Day by doing either a Thanks or Love themed card & I sorta came up with both:

A closer look:

For this card I used the oh so cute image called Semmy the Snail & he's part of the images from the August VIP package.

This week's prize package is from Purple Panda Designs which can be found at Stitchy Stamps & the prize is 4 digi stamps, I had the honor of choosing one to work with this week as well, this is the one I chose:

A closer look:

This image is called Yin & Yang, cute huh? They put me in a bit of a "festive mood" & so I created a Happy Holidays card & believe it or not the background paper is from the DCWV Autumn mat stack, I couldn't believe it had a color in "autumn" stack? Go figure, it went well with the color I chose which is a bit of a bluish/turquoise color. What a fun card to make!

A little bit about the creator of this oh so cute stamp:

Hi! I'm Kayla from Purple Panda Designs and I'm 16 yrs. old. I love to draw and I love Panda's. I love to color them purple, which is where my name came from. I love to draw animals mostly. My stamps are hand drawn from my own ideas. Please be sure to visit my blog for updates and news about Purple Panda Designs. Would love to have you as a follower. I hope you enjoy my stamps.

I couldn't believe she's only 16, what talent, huh?

We hope you'll join us this week, be sure to check out the other DT members creations too, their addresses can be found on the side bar. Thanks for coming by!
