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

A Few Birthday Cards

This is a card that I made for Tanja her birthday was in December and I had a package to mail to her well lets just say that by the time I mailed the package there was a birthday card, Christmas Card, Christmas gift and New Years card all added to her box....How funny is that...Anyhow this card was made out of some old scraps of paper that I had left over from a Scrapbook Page I did a long time ago....I loved it and I think so did Tanja....

This card was a birthday card I made for my friend Shawntell....This is my very first colored Tilda....My girlfriend has been giving me a hard time that all my girls are white....As Tiff says you need to give those girls some color....So here is what I got....not to bad but as you can tell I still need to work on doing this....Maybe my next one will be better....Thanks for stopping by....Love Love

Traveling Tilda

Hello it's me again....LOL....Can you imagine the month is almost already over....Valentines day is right around the corner huh....Oh I love Valentines day....I have been busy making lots of Valentines cards this year....oh what fun....
I made this Tilda awhile ago for a friend that was having a bad day....I always want to be there for my girlfriends but with us being in the Navy we move to much and I don't get to be around when my BFF needs me....So I send her a card....LOL....really simple card with easy colors....Enjoy....I hope to get pictures taken tomorrow of my Valentines cards so I can share....Have a great Super Bowl Sunday....Happy Stamping....Thanks for stopping by....love love

Happy New Year Cards

See I have been working on my crafts.....I made several of these little simple Happy New Year Cards using Tilda and the winter kit....I also used some different colors for my paper that I usually don't use....I must say that I really did love the way it all came together....

These are all the same for the most part just a different Tilda and colored a little different....I also embossed the Happy New Year sentiment using Versafine back ink and clear embossing powder....It sure make it look so nice I love this elegant kind of look.....

I made this one first and I like it but I guess I really like the simple ones that I made from the scraps of this card....I really need to pull out my sewing machine more....it sure gives the cards such a nice finished look huh....Well I'm going back to work on editing more cards so I can post them....Have a wonderful day and happy stamping.....

Love Love

Happy New Year!

Well I know I'm a little late with this but Happy New Year & I wish you all the best, much love and happiness in 2009...I have been away from my blog for over a month more like two....can you believe that....I know sometimes I get a little behind with my blog but hello this is crazy, nearly two months....My life has been so crazy busy lately....My DH took three weeks off from work and the boys have had a little over three weeks off....They return to school and the DH goes back to work and I get my house back....LOL...Yippee....I'm way to excited for that let me tell you....Uninterrupted crafty time....Loving that great idea....and then my brother called and I got some sad and unexpected news that my dad had passed away after many years of living disabled with a brain injury (since I was six years old....26 years) wow....So I went to Iowa I was so so freezing my butt off....Do you know how cold it was in Iowa....Been living in California for 6 years....Oh that didn't work for me....I got to see my brother and nephew and meet his new wife...See many of my aunts and cousins that I haven't seen in at least twenty years....wow...So that is what has been crazy in my life...I have really found myself just being in my craft room and it feel better and I'm getting so much done....It's so therapeutic for me to create....Should try mopping....yea right....lol...to much work....
So I haven't posted since early December which means I have all my Christmas Cards, New Years Cards, Misc. cards and Valentines Day so I guess I will just start posting them to my blog....Cant wait to hear what you think....

Happy Stamping and thanks for stopping by...

Mustard Moon...

I came across these Mustard Moon Papers that I have had since I worked at the scrap store and have not done anything with them yet....Well they seemed the perfect colors to make fall and Thanksgiving cards with....Then I found the perfect match of colors with my copic markers....I do love when this happens.....so here are a few of the cards I came up with....




The images is from funkykits this is Daisy isn't she just the cutest thing ever....Oh I love her
This is another image from Funkykits and she a great image to color....How cute is she...

Here is Farmer Tilda....I haven't make a card with her in so long I could help put put her on this paper also....I also just love this sentiment from Verve....Hope you enjoy and I also hope to post more cards....I have several made but don't seem to find the time to post to my blog....I am currently working on Christmas cards and gifts....Oh what fun this time of year is....Thanks for stopping by....

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
