A Few Sugar Nellie Cards!

I purchased this stamp from funky kits but never used her for a card so it was time....I did find out what a fast easy image she was to color....The card was easily put together....I used a MS border punch, old SU simply scrappin kit, colored her with copic markers, used some trim I bought at wal-mart for 25 cents a yard, the circle stamp is Catslife Press and cut out my friend with my quickutz....My crafty friend Camille is always giving me great stuff....Every time she comes over there is something new she has brought....I'm so lucky to have her in my life....so I made this little simple thank you card for her and she loved it as much as I did....

This is one of my favorite Sugar Nellie images.....She is so sweet....I made this birthday card for my friend Jenny that just turned 32.....We have been friends since high school which means we have been friends for nearly twenty years....where has the time gone....Being in the military is hard sometimes because I don't get to be around my friends and don't get to celebrate special days with them....But this year was different....I was able to go home for a week and spend her birthday with her....What a great husband I have....He stayed home with the kids and took them to their football games (we had snacks for one) and he even had a BBQ that we were invited too which he had to make a dish....I love when he has to be the mom even if it doesn't happen very often....He does pretty good....Thanks honey I love you....

About the card I used the sugar nellie image, WOJ sentiment, Making memories paper that I die cut with my sizzix file folder die, copic markers, and some white ribbon.....Very simple yet again I seem to get a lot done this way....Hope you enjoy my card and thanks for stopping by.....

Pink and Brown Tilda

Finally back from California and settled in....I had so much fun while I was in California oh and I ate way to much so now I'm trying to be good to make up for it....I sure do miss real Mexican food that I grew up eating in California....Hawaii is awesome but Mexican food here is just not right....I guess there's no place like home....ha ha....I went shopping at Michael's, Jo Ann's and Bed Bath & Beyond.....Oh I had so much fun and things are so inexpensive on the mainland compared to here n Hawaii....I picked up several new MS border punches for my girlfriend and I....We can't even find some of this stuff here in Hawaii....So enough about all that....I have been busy making cards and coloring images....Oh I do love this hobby....I made this thank you card for a friend and now I want to make a few more....She came out so cute....I just love this one


She is my very favorite new Tilda...How cute is her coat....I can't color her enough....I have not posted but I have been making lots of stuff....I will get some pictures taken today so I can post to my blog again....I have missed you and hope you enjoy my card.....I sent it off to a friend....Thanks for stopping by love love

Smile!

So I have been MIA once again and gosh things are crazy around here....We have company in town which leave today and I'm leaving for California on Thursday.....On top of that I'm still trying to recover from Dominick's Birthday and Halloween....Although I'm sure a little retail therapy while in California will make up for all the craziness.....I cant wait to hit all the great craft stores, ikea, Target, oh and this isn't even including the food....Oh real Mexican food....I'm getting myself hungry already....ha ha....So back to the card....This is one of my very new Tilda images and she is just so cute....I have had this pattern paper for a long time and so I pulled it out and found that coloring Tilda to match wasn't hard at all....What a simple card huh....I was going to add some stitching but I have purple in the machine right now and I was just to tired last night by the time I finished this card I went to bed....I have a few more that should be coming soon....Have a great day and thanks for stopping by....Love Love

Christmas Joy!

I made this card after seeing a card on Claudia's blog I changed it a little and used a different Tilda but I wondered if it was alright to copy her card....I have been going back and forth weather should post the card or not....I made this card a few weeks ago and I emailed her to ask her permission but I never heard back from her which I'm sure she is a very busy lady....So I hope that I have not broken a rule or offended anyone that surely is not be my intention at all....Actually I admire her work so much....She is very talented....As if I could be that good right....Anyhow I wanted to share cause I just loved the way this card came out....This is the only Christmas Tilda I have so far.....I used my copic markers to color her, some vintage lace and I think the paper is Creative Imagination but I'm not sure since it was given to me by my friend Camille and bazzil cardstock....The card really is very simple but just adding a little stitching sure does make such a difference....Hope you like.....Thanks for stopping by....Love Love

How cute is Willow?

So Willow with hot chocolate is one of my very favorites I have to say....She is fun to color and I have to say it must be coffee and not hot chocolate but then again I need lots and lots of caffeine to stay active...lol....These are Whiff Of Joy Stamps ......I just love her line of stamps....Although I do find living in Hawaii that I generally have an issue purchasing any type of stamps that include snow I'm just not drawn to that type of image....I don't why that is....If you have haven't been on her site go check it out....Awesome stuff and her blog is amazing....I have been a busy bee working on Halloween favors and trying to get all the fun goodies done....Only a few more days....Imagine....I love Halloween....Our friends celebrate their anniversary on Halloween....I need to get their card out today also....Lucky for me they live on a neighbor island so only takes two days....alright enough with my ramblings huh....So here is the details of the card...

Recipe
Paper - SU Cardstock, Daisy Dee's Pattern Paper
Stamps - WOF, Verve Sentiment

A Spoon Full of Sugar

I made this card for A Spoon Full of Sugar sketch from last week I finished this card last week but I didn't get it posted so I thought today would be a good day for that....I love this old Basic Grey paper I think it's called lilykate but I really haven't done much with this little six by six pad so I pulled it out....I have been on a purple kick lately which is so fun cause that used to be my favorite color years ago but I have moved on to Pink & Brown....Today I need to finish up all the Halloween stuff for the boys class and get ready for Dominick's birthday......My baby is turning eleven....When did this happen and why....Oh so sad....His dad is flying in tomorrow for a week an I love seeing my son so super excited....He saw him last in January at grandma's house.....So it should be a busy weekend....Birthday, Halloween, football game, beach time and hiking....I think my boy will be pretty tired when it's all said and done....So enough with the personal info...Back to the card.....

I used a white card base and stitched the pattern paper to it....I cute a strip of blue paper and used MS border punch colored my image and added a few flowers....I just love simple fast cards....That makes me so happy....

Recipe
Paper - SU! cardstock, Basic Grey pattern paper
Stamps - Sugar Nellie
Accessories - MS punch, Quickutz photo corners, copic markers

Just a thought I wanted to share....I love sewing but often get mad when my corners look like junk so I really like the idea of added the photo corners....I covers up my messy stitching and it adds more to the card or project....I can't wait to hear what you think....Have a great day and thanks for stopping by....Love Love

Isn't she so cute....I love this image....Well I guess every Tilda I love but she's a new one so I guess I just love her more right now I guess....Oh and of course I love this Martha Stewart Punch....It's just adds such a nice touch I think....I have been coloring with my new color Koh-I-Noor pencils and Gamsol and I'm just loving the results....How easy the colors blend....I just love the way it comes out.....As you may notice I have used my super old 2004 pattern paper from SU! can you believe I still have some...I have plans to finish up so projects today and try to post everyday this week....We will have to see how that goes.....

Not much going on today....Our new baby has been a little sick throwing up and runny you know what....So last night I was up with her and his morning she was just laying there not moving which really scared me....She truly has become my baby and I love her so much....So anyhow I had to wait until eight and then take her to the vet which she doesn't like being in her carrier so she cried all the way there....And made herself so upset that she made you know what all over the inside, top, bottom and sides of her carrier....So I had a sick baby all day....It has been awhile since I've had a baby ya know....But she is feeling better and starting to act like her cute playful self again and we are so happy for that.....

So about the cards I have one almost done it needs a few finishing touches but I might get it on here tonight or in the morning....I have been doing a lot of sewing on my cards and I'm just loving it....I have had a few people ask about the sewing machine that I use so I wanted to share that info....I have Janome Petite which is a mini sewing machine that does like eight different stitches and it was like $99.99 so very reasonable....I got mine at the scrapbook store I worked at but I want to say that I saw one at wal-mart....I will get back with more information next time I go to wal-mart....Well I need to get back to coloring so I can post....Thanks for stopping by....

Happy Hallowen!

I'm super excited about this Tilda Halloween card....It's my first and my friend Tanja was so sweet to to sent me this image.....Isn't she too cute....SO I put this together yesterday....I had so much fun....I pulled out my little sewing machine and stitched the edges, used CB embossing folder to make the black spider web, Magnolia Tilda image, I used some black embroidery floss to lace up her books, and the ghost and tombstone are buttons, the ribbon I got from a local scrapbook store and that's about it....The coloring and cutting of the image was probably the hardest part of the card but so worth it.....I was so excited to have this card finished....So what do you think....

High Hopes Blog Candy going on over at Bunny-Zoe blog.....it's for two cute cute stamps....I really loved these images and the boys would love them to....Trust me they don't get that excited about stamps but these I think they would love.....So today is the last day so check it out....

I'd Rather Be Stamping!

This is a Sugar Nellie image that my friend Camille got which I love so when she came over last week I thought it would be a perfect image to color and make a card with....I pulled out this super old Making Memories pattern paper that I have had forever so that was good.....I always feel so good when I used up something or well anything that I have had for way to long...So we colored the image with copic markers, cut some flourish pieces with Quickutz die, used some lace, prima flowers and the stamp "I'd rather be stamping is from amuse....Not a hard card and it came together super easy and fast.....Well I have another Halloween card I'm almost done with so let me get that finished so I can post it....Have not done any stamping today cause my dear sweet husband took me on a date to lunch and the movies....It was so nice I honestly cant remember the last time we did that....Thanks for stopping by....Love Love

Our New Baby!

Isn't she the cutest thing you have ever seen.....I'm so in love....It's a girl.....I have waited my whole life for another girl to be in the house.....So let me tell you about her....Her name is Bella what can I say this is what the boys agreed to....Angela (Dominick) or Bell (Jared) and of course dad say how about dog so I said what about Bella and that was the end of it....She is half Chihuahua and half Brussel Griffen....She is chocolate Brown (which goes so well with pink).....She will be about 8 to 10 pounds when she is fully grown....She is such a cuddling baby....It's just like having a brand new baby in the house......She eats, sleeps, goes bathroom and plays and then does it all over again....So I haven't been spending much time stamping as I have been attending to the new baby.....We are all so excited about the new addition to the family and I wanted to share.....Happy stamping and thanks for stopping by....
