Mojo Monday Sketch # 77

Today I have another Easter Card using the same American Crafts paper....I colored Tilda and she is so pretty...I have been putting crystal affects on my Prima flowers and I really love the look....For this card I started out following the Mojo Monday Sketch #77 and this is what I got...

The ribbon belt is 7 gypsies and I cant remember what the ribbon is...But this paper is a few years old....So happy to be using it up....I have a few more Tilda projects with this paper that I will be posting over the next few days....Happy Stamping.... This is a close up of the flowers and leaves....I have really enjoyed playing with some of the candy we have to dress up our projects....

Ingredients:

Paper American Crafts, Image Magnolia Easter Collection, Sentiment SU!, Flowers Prima, Dies Nestie Circle & Scallop Circle, Leaf MS punch, Copic Markers & Primsa Pencils

Happy Easter

So is everyone on spring break or are we just especially early here in Hawaii....I have been keeping busy with the boys cause they are out of school and trying to get things together for our vacation next week...Well actually it's in a few days....We are all flying to Kauai for a week....Yippee....We are going to visit with some friends, take the kids camping on the beach for a few days and relax....I'm really looking forward to the time away....I have been to the vet and have everything set for Bella to go to the Kennel...Poor baby....We are going to miss her so much....

I have been busy making stuff to take for my friend and getting ready for Easter...It's going to be here before I know it....I love Easter, the candy, the colors, the spring....So this is my first Easter Card with my Whipper Snapper stamp....I hope you enjoy....

I really love this Bunny in a basket by Whipper Snapper and although I still don't really know how to color "white" as well as most....This one came out really well I thought....I also love this Happy Easter sentiment stamp that I got from Lisa at yourATCstore it's from Catslife Press they are Rubber Seal Stamps....They have a lot of great stamps and she is very nice.....I colored my image with copic markers and prisma pencils with OMS....Added a few flowers with some crystal affects and I was done....

Ingredients

Bazzill Cardstock, American Crafts pattern Paper, Nesstie Dies, CM circle cutter & Fiskars border punch...Stamps are bunny by Whipper Snapper & Happy Easter by Catslife Press....Copic markers, prima flowers, Making Memories brads and some jewelry parts and brown ink from SU!

Thanks for stopping by.....I love to hear the wonderful comments that are left....Have a great week...

Eggstra Special Easter!

I hope everyone had a great weekend...It sure went quickly though....Have a great week...
For today's card I used an old Precious Moments stamp and I played with some green flower soft for the grass...I really love that stuff...Have you played with it...I had thought it was heavy and thick and hadn't heard good things about it...Well let me tell you that's not the case and I really love that stuff and it's so fun to play with, although it's just as bad as glitter and gets everywhere.....lol
I used SU cardstock, PaperTrey to stamp my image on and Copic Markers to color....The Easter Eggs are I'm not sure what brand paper.....Sizzix Flourish die, labels spellbinders die....Prima flower and the ribbon is a no name brand I got at a local craft fair....I think that's everything...If I missed something or you have a question please let me know....Have a great day....

A Friendly Challenge

My friend Kellie challenged Camille and I to make a card with the circle background image from Magnolia....So this is what I came up with and it's my first Easter card so far....

I put this together super fast...But Camille beat us all she was done first...Both images are from Magnolia the paper is super old from I have no idea where and prima flowers with robins nest in the center....I cut out the background image and put it on the sizzix scallop circle...Simple right?Do you ever think that your project has to much dimension....It seemed like this did but I didn't use my usual SU stampin dimensionals I used some other ones I had and they just seem to high....I don't know.....Have a great day and thanks for stopping by....

Congratulations My Friend

BLOG CANDY UPDATE.....Check back this afternoon for the winning name....They boys will draw a name after they get home from school....Good Luck to everyone....
For today's card I went super simple....It's for our friend Devon who just graduated from OCS and is changing paths in his career and as happy as we are for Devon & Shelia we are also sad because this means they are moving soon to a new duty station....We will miss them so much...So I have been putting together a CD with all the pictures we have taken together over the last few years, a wall hanging with a great picture from New Years and some other goodies for them to take and remember the great times we have shared since being here in Hawaii.....I will be posting those photos over the next few days so you can see what I have been up too....LOL...Back to the card I always find it a little harder to make a card for men and this was just to simple and I was happy....I used all Stampin Up! stamps and paper and added a few prima flowers and it was done....I love that it was so simple and came together so easy.....Always a good thing right....Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping as always....Love Love

Postbox Sugar Nellie

First let me say Thank You for all of your great comments I'm so happy to read them all....Thanks so much.....I take my pictures outside when I can and place them on a white towel to give a clean background....Since I live in Hawaii I don't have to worry so much about the weather however I seem to do most of my work at night and it's then that my pictures ALWAYS come out looking like junk....So I really wanted to know what everyone else does....I'm not super computer savvy cause I just don't take the time to spend on the computer to figure it out....I much rather be in my craft room....Speaking of Craft room I have been spending my last few days moving furniture around, cleaning, organizing, and finding all kinds of stuff in there....I'm really liking the new set up much better now I just want to finish so I can get back to work....lol....

So I have a quick post for today which is the cards below....I made two of them but on doesn't have a sentiment on it yet....thought I might wait until I'm ready to send it to someone to figure out what it needs to say....I had the most fun with this card....If you have any questions about the supplies or techniques I used please let me know....I'm always more than happy to share....
I used basic grey papers for this project and Postbox Sugar Nellie, I added some rub-ons and chipboard flowers that I covered with paper to match....I also paper pieced her pants and the mailbox....
I added some bling to the scallop circle which is a sizzix die and I put bling on the flower lace which is Making Memories from long ago....I think....lol

This is the second card that I made from the same image and papers and I changed a little with it but basically the same....Well I hope you enjoy my project and thanks for stopping by....Can't wait to hear what you think....Have a great weekend!

Thanks Kellie!

My friend Kellie made this card for me and she used the cutest pink & brown papers....She even covered a mailbox for Valentine's Day....What a lucky girl I was.... Just love her card....I have a few new projects but I haven't taken pictures yet so I will try and do that tomorrow so I can share....I'm working on a few altered aged looking items and I'm really loving the way they are coming out....I hope to finish soon so I can share....I'm also getting my stuff together for the blog candy I will have up before the weekend is over....It will include some fun items and a few items handmade by me....I hope everyone will like them.....Have a great weekend and get a lot of stamping time in....

Whiff Of Joy DT Sketch

I never apply for these DT calls that we see all the time cause I guess I don't really know if I'm at that level to do something like that but I love doing the challenges and Sketches....Actually I have always loved to use sketches which started back when I started scrapbooking.....I have used several of the sketches Katharina has on her blog and have also bought many of her WOJ images....A friend suggested that we do this sketch and use our new WOJ kit stamps (which I hadn't used yet) and so this is what I came up with...I just love this image of Kneeling Willow she is so cute....

All of the stamps are Whiff Of Joy, paper is Fancy Pants (old stuff), flowers are prima, punches MS and SU, Ink momento and colored with copic and prisma pencils....I think that's everything I used...lol...I hope you enjoy my card I really enjoyed making it and when it all came together....Hope you have a great day....Happy Stamping and thanks for stopping by....

Love Love Kiss Kiss

I made this card for Valentine's Day for my DH but of course I didn't get it done in time so he received a different Magnolia card...lol...I took a little more time on this Love Card I made the pin with some glass beads and pearls, tied some ribbon through a button and added it to the tag which I cut with my sizzix die....I had to cut the Dollie so it would fit and then I stitched around the edges of the card....I really do love this card and the colors were just perfect....I used chatterbox papers that I found at price busters....The card size is 4X8

My stamping buddies came over and we exchanged Valentine goodies and this was one of the items I gave to them....I made the pins, tags and added rub-ons to the bags with everyones name....I really love how they came out and both Kellie and Camille were happy with them....Well thanks for stopping by and I hope you have enjoyed my creations....Would love to hear what you think....Happy stamping....love love

A Few Valentine's Cards!

So I know that I'm a little late with these Valentine's Cards but now that things have settled down I can post them....We had a great Valentine's Day my wonderful husband cooked a wonderful breakfast and dinner for me....He even did the shopping and planning of the meal which I guess was the hardest part....LOL....He also printed out a menu for me....Very sweet he was and I got some new PJ's it was a very nice day....So let me tell you about the cards I made....


For this card used some old BG paper which I still love....I used quickutz for the photo corners and the "Be Mine"....I used the Cuddly Buddly circle sentiments....Also I used the Fiskars circle punch, some chipboard for the hearts and some SU ribbon....And of course the image is Magnolia and the notebook paper is also from Magnolia...I think I listed everything if I forgot something and you have questions just let me know....This card was a 6X6 size which is a little bigger than I like to work with but I had to much to put on there so had to be a big one....

What a simple card this was....I used the Sizzix scallop heart die, did a little paper piercing and added a simple I heart U stamp for my sentiment....Of course the image is Magnolia again...LOLThis was a card that already had the hearts cut out and it was kind of like a watercolor type of paper....My friend Camille gave me these cards which I had not done anything with so I had a try at it....I used the labels die, Magnolia heart and Tilda by Magnolia.....Really easy card....Again...LOL

Well I hope that you like the Valentine's Day cards I have been making and sorry that I didn't get them posted sooner....I do have one more Valentines card, which really is my favorite so I will post that one tomorrow....I hope you have enjoyed my creations and would love to hear what you think....Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping....love love

I Love You!

This is another card I put together with Nicole's image of Angelica from Inky Impressions.....She was a fast and easy card but she was really just perfect for Valentine's Day huh....I think the card (6X6) was a little to big should have gone with a smaller size....I used some more old SU! paper that I have had for to long and I cute the hearts with the quickutz heart cookie cutter dies....pretty simple yea....Well I hope that everyone has a happy Valentine's Day!
Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping...Love Love

Be Mine!

For this card I again used Tilda with tag and an old SU be mine sentiment, the pattern paper is also old SU paper....I was happy that I was able to find a few flowers that matched just perfect...I used the lace fiskars circle punch to make the circle she is sitting in....I think she came out perfectly....I have had a hard time trying to use up this paper which I think is strange cause I just love the colors....I don't know what my problem is but what do you do....lol....Hope you enjoy the card and thanks for stopping by....love love

A Few Valentine Cards!

For today's card I used two Magnolia Stamps (Tilda w/ Tag & Post Feb 14Th) and I just love them both....I also used stampingbella mwah kisses stamp for the tag and the chocolate box from alota rubber stamps (Thanks Camille for this great stamp I just love it)....I used copic markers to color the images along with koh-i-noor pencils and OMS...I used both white and red lace which just seemed to finish off my card perfectly....

Oh do I really love Edwin more....I think not as much as I love Tilda but that stamp from SU seemed to fit just perfect with this card....I colored and inked Edwin and cut him out.....I used the Valentine Sizzix flourish die and the word window punch....I stitched around the edge of my card after I had embossed it with the CB Swiss dots....I think this will be a Valentine card for one of my boys....Not sure which one yet....lol....Well I have a few more in the works right now that I hope to wrap up tomorrow....Hope you enjoyed my cards and let me know if you have any questions....Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping as always....love love

Mojo Monday Sketch Week 70

Here we have it....This is Angelica from Nicole over at Inky Impressions and I followed a Mojo Monday Sketch which turns out to be from a few weeks ago but oh well....She came out really cute I think....How fun was it to use the swing....I love the way she came out....The coloring isn't my favorite but the colors of this paper didn't make it as easy as I would have liked....I used my sewing machine to stitch my card....I think that adding stitching really adds so much to the projects....well I'm off to work on some more projects....Need to get some Valentines Day cards made....Fun Fun I have to say....

This is the sketch that I had used I think I might try to make another card from this sketch....Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping....love love

Cherry Tilda Card & Candle

I just love this Cherry Tilda she is so cute....I have had the hardest time finding cherry papers so I had to make my own....I just stamped the Cherries on white cardstock and colored them in with copic markers and added come crystal glaze....It worked out perfectly.....She is too cute...


I made this candle for my girlfriend Camille for her Birthday in September....It came out so nice but I had forgotten to take pictures of it before I gave it to her....So it took awhile before she brought it back for me to photograph....It really is such an easy project to make a candle.....When I first learned how to do this several years ago I must have made like twenty....It's so fun when you learn how to do something new....

This is all I have to share for today....I have been working on a few new projects with some new images....I will share them tomorrow....My friend Nicole is releasing her new line sometime this month or beginning of next month not just sure on a date yet....The images are adorable and I think you will love them....So stop by tomorrow for a peek at the new girls....Have a great night and thanks for stopping by....Love Love
