For A Speedy Recovery

Good Morning! Well today is the day my kids have been waiting for! Their last day of school! Bring on the summer holidays...woot, woot!

I am so excited to be sharing my new DT card for Creative Knockouts this week.  We are on Challenge #43 and our challenge this week is to MAKE IT MASCULINE!! Our sponsor for this challenge is from Doctor Digi House of Stamps. They have let me use this fun loving image called Mobility Malcolm and it really applies to the Make It Masculine. Thank you very much!!

My dad for the last couple of years has been making over garden tractors to be like this with a lot of pep.  He has not been feeling well for the last month and well I thought that this would be a perfect image to give him.  I totally could see him racing down the street in it.

Stripes!!

Good Morning! We are all doing a happy dance because SUMMER HOLIDAYS are finally here! Yahoo.  After today, the kids can sleep in well for a few days anyway. Thanks to everyone who has helped support us this school year.

We are super excited to be celebrating our 200th Challenge over at 4 Crafty Chicks.  Thanks CHICKS for all the amazing challenges. You never seize to inspire me. Our hostess with the absolute mostess is Lori this week. Still not sure where the time is going but I want to say thank you to Amy for being our Guest Designer this month and inspiring us with her phenomenal designs.

I had so much fun making this card at my mom's.  She is very talented and didn't mind at all that I used up a little bit of her stash.  The flower was colored with the new Cherry Cobbler Alcohol, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight Alchol markers. It was fun to added three different pattern papers with strips and the cherry cobbler twine.

 

I made this card for a friend who loves flowers and is incredibly talented herself at what ever craft she picks up to do.  Right now she loves making those cupcake bouquets.

We would love to have you join us for our 200th challenge this week and show us what stripes inspire in you! It is always fun to see you over at 4 Crafty Chicks.

Thanks for poppin in and sharing my new card with me.

Hello....

Hello and welcome back to my blog! We are almost on the last week of school and with all the tests we have tired grouchy pouchy kids that are counting the days till they can sleep in.  I don't blame them with so many exams to write regular Finals test, Provincial Achievement Tests and Diploma Exams.  It is a lot of pressure and unfortunately they all suffer from test anxiety. Truly I feel for them.

At 4 Crafty Chicks this week it is my turn to challenge you! So for Challenge #199 I would like to see ROUND CARDS! Now this is something outside of my crafting box. So onto Youtube I went and where I found several good tutorials but the best one came from my talented fellow chick Leanne while we were facetiming :) .  Within 5 minutes this card was on the go.  However it took me all afternoon to create this card.

So when you look below please don't fall off your chairs because you are right there are flowers on my card (another stepping outside of my comfort zone)*wink*.  No, it is not your imagination :) It all started with three flowers and well they just kept multiplying. My card is a little smaller as my biggest circle spellbinder is not that big. I also had a great time coloring up this image as I was thinking of Pink and the song Trouble.

Recipe:

Stamps: Brooklyn Babe (Kenny K), Teeny Tiny Wishes (SU)

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Smokey Slate, Whisper White

Accessories: Large and Small scallop circles Spellbinders, Large and small circle spellbinders, flowers, silver brads, scissors, gems

Thank you Mr. Policeman

Hi! I know this is a shocker 3 posts in one day! Today, I threw a challenge out to a friend to make a fun card, she picked a KennyK's Krafty Krew Challenge.

These images are so much fun and I own quite a few of them but this is my first time ever entering a Kenny K Challenge so I am super excited. I bought this stamp a while ago with the intent to make a card to give to the police officers that helped us out the night of our vehicle accident. So I tried to keep it clean and simple with the image as the focus.  Hopefully it worked.

My creation is below

Stamp: Policeman Digi (Kenny K), Itty Bitty Banners
Paper: Vintage-T (We R Memory Keepers), grey
Accessories: Spellbinders Label Eighteen, Framelits Bitty Banners, Yellow Pearls, daubers, Night of Navy ink, night of navy pen, pop ups.

A Donut For Cocoa

Good Morning! It has been a busy week for me and I am sure for most of you too. School is almost done and of course with beautiful sunny weather you are probably outside walking, gardening, visiting with neighbors that you haven't seen most of the winter. Big yellow just seems to make a person smile. Yesterday it was so awesome to just hear all of the kids playing on our street.  It reminded me of when my kids used to play like that and just how quickly they are growing up.

I am so excited to share this cute image with you from our sponsors this week.  Our sponsor for Creative Knockouts is Sweet'n Sassy Stamps. Thank you for letting me use this adorable image. I love it!! We are on Challenge #41 and this week is a SKETCH CHALLENGE!

Hello Baby!!

Hello and welcome back! Last night was a great night as I was able to go to a supper with a friend and our oldest boys.  It was the first sports/music/drama/ volunteer awards night and really an appreciation to everyone for a job well done. The kids dress up and truly made this night awesome with their cheers for everyone.  Not to mention the food was delicious and catered by my favorite cater.

Now onto why you are here.  I have a new DT card for you, created for 4 Crafty Chicks. My talented friend Tina is our hostess-with-the-mostess this week.  Tina would like us for Challenge #198 to make a BABY creation.  I must say a big apology to our neighbor Amy who started last week as our very talented Guest Designer for this month and well I missed letting you know.  Please give her a big warm welcome.

When making this card, I wanted to find something different so I set off to google baby cards. I found so many cute cards made like this with so many different variations of the baby buggy.  My crafting mojo was inspired and well out came the paper, buttons, spellbinders, pearls and sentiment.  It was a quick card and a type, I would like to make more of.  Here is hoping that you like it.
