Christmas Ornament Tag


Hello peeps, I made this Christmas ornament tag for today's FS135 Lori, I chose her tag here to case. I also to honor her I used one of my "card sharks". I luv making tags, that are so adorable, I really like these colors together. I used chocolate, burgundy, and teal....pretty! I also used a new SU set that I luv, but I have to tell ya, I do not like wood mounted stamps anymore.....acrylic blocks have spoiled me. I know that people have mounted SU so that can be used on acrylic if anyone knows how to do this let me know, please. I used these today by just putting them on acrylic blocks, but I am not sure if the sticky is designed to keep reusing, KWIM?

Anyway, I stamped the ornaments, added pearls, which I luv and then the SU jumbo eyelet with the wide striped ribbon. Super easy, fun, and quick.....let me know your thoughts. Enjoy your evening and give someone an unexpected hug!

Be Still




Good Monday morning, wow where does the weekend go? I am not sure about you, but I would like to see the work week be only two days and the weekends be five, now that is a great idea.....hehehehe. Well, one good thing about Monday's is the Mojo Monday Sketch, this sketch had me really pulling out the mojo. Since this one was a bit tricky for me I decided to use ribbon with accents in place of the squares. I ran a piece of card stock through the CB with a flower folder, punched out the butterfly and photo corner and I then sponged it very lightly, adding Kaiser Craft pearls. I even added pearls to the photo corner in the center of the flowers. I stamped the tree from the Up Up and Away set in light pink in the main image circle and then stamped the verse Psalm 46:10 next to it. I cut it out using the circle nesties and sponged. I added a button and Kaiser Craft pearls down the side. I hope you make time to play with us this week, be sure to check out the fantastic creations the other mojo makers created over at the Mojo Monday Sketch Blog.

Congratulations Darlene


I created this for today's FS134, Darlene; you can see here gallery here. I wanted to use Mercy's sktch, so I picked a card that had a similiar layout to case. I chose the one here with the polka dotted dp. I kept the polka dotted theme added some sewing, and a white ribbon bow. I used three different Verve sets for this one. I luv the new background set from Verve called Bountiful Backgrounds, I used the polka dots and line to separate the sentiment from the main flower image. The flower image is from the set called Budding Blossoms and the sentiment is Petals and Stems. I used copics to color the flower image. This is also for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch MTSC36, check it out and play along. Our church had church in our local park today, it is always a blessing to worship outside under the beautiful sky. Dh and I are taking a motorcycle ride to enjoy the sunshine! I hope you have a wonderful day.

Out Of My Comfort Zone


This is for Taylor's Sketch Challenge TESC80. I also made this for Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge ssnotime102, to made a card creation out of your comfort zone. Boy, was this hard, I cannot tell you how many times I wanted to give up and start over...lol. First, it took me forever to decide what to do that was out of my comfort zone, none of us like working out of our guidelines. I finally decide on using colors such as Bold Brights, which I never use, they are not my favorite color family. This dp was given to me and I figured I would never use it, thanks Sharon for helping me to use some of my stash.....lol. I used my Verve stamps set Fluttering By and made this a fun card, I also used a rub-on for the sentiment which I rarely use. I hope you like my bold bright creation, enjoy!

Harvest Blessings




This is my take on today's Sweet Stop Sketch. I used the stamps set from Sweet 'N Sassy called Happy Harvest. I cut and colored the pumkpins and popped them up for depth. I added some sewing and silky ribbon, this is an older dp from SU. I hope you can play along and be sure to check out the other DT's take on this sketche, you can go to the Sweet Stop Blog to gaze and comment. Have a blessed day!

Birthday Wishes







This is for today's IC195 and for the Viva la Verve sketch challenge VLVSEP01 with a twist of something round. I used lots of rounds, the background, the flowers, the sentiment circle, and of course the big pearls. I used Verve stamps sets Budding Blossoms and Circular Sayings. I used a variety of dp to mimic the towel hanging in the photo. I hope you like my take on the IC and the sketch, enjoy your Saturday and make time for family this weekend!

All The Goodness Of Life




Hello everyone, this is for Mercy's Tuesday Sketch Challenge. I have been wanting to give it a try since she brought it back a couple of weeks ago. I used my new Verve sets for this one, luv the coffee set, great sentiments come with this one. I used Verve Bountiful Background too, I really luv these background stamps, that add so much to a card. You can create you own dp with these stamps. I added stitching to the center and pearls on the scallops. There is also glitter on the darker brown stripes of the cup, I am not sure if you can tell, it looks really pretty IRL. I also heat embossed the steam and the coffee, so they are both a little shiny. I added a Memory Makers brad to the button to snaze it up a bit, too. Enjoy your evening!
