A Couple Just For You

Hello Friends!  Today I have a couple of cards that I've made just because.  I needed a couple cards to send to a couple ladies just because and so I put these together.  The top one I used an image that I had found free online ( if you know where it's from do let me know so I can give credit).  I layered it up and added a lovely ribbon that added a soft touch and yet didn't take away from the lovely backdrop.  

Here I have a card that I put together with some lovely papers and a piece of a doily.  I added the touch of ribbon for her to have a place to sit.  She's a lovely girl from Anna Stillwell at Cuttlebug Cuties.    I love many of the sweet girls that she draws.  This girl reminded me of the lady that I coloured her up for.  I tried to colour her to compliment the papers.  The sentiment is from Create with TLC crafting blog.  

Thanks for dropping by!  It's so nice to be able to share my creations with you!

Are You Ready for Snow?

Are you ready for snow? I'm not but this guy sure is!  Love the look of confidence he has!  We had our first snow on September 10th, and it's been creeping down the mountains ever since!
Don't you just love this guy! I'd love to go skiing with him!  You can find Snowman Skier over at Designed 2 Delight's store HERE!
I also tried something new.  One of my K & Company papers is embossed with snowflakes and sanded down a bit. I really should have tried this before!  I used a sentiment that I found at TLC creations and couldn't resist it! It's Free!  I though it went perfectly with him!
Well, if you have snow, enjoy it! It might stay a long time! LOL
Have a great day!

You Make Me Smile!

Hi everyone, does this little guy make you smile? He makes me smile so I thought he'd be perfect for the challenge over at Stampin' Sisters in Christ - Create a happy card: happy news, rejoice in life!
My friends make me smile all the time, so I chose this sentiment by TLC and the friend work on the envelope is from Fiscars clear stamps.  I layered this little sweet heart on some distressed cardstock and some paper from K &Company.  The ribbon and buttons are from my collection and the little bow is made with braiding cord from Elmers.
Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by.  I love it when you do! Don't forget to tell one of your friends you care and share some smiles today!

Music in the Air

Hello everyone, here I have a new card that I've made for the Stampin' Sisters in Christ  Challenge:  Make a card/project that features a bird, such as in the patterned paper, a stamped image, a charm, etc. 

I will also be entering this card in Scrapbook Sisters challenge- anything goes.  I just love this bird image singing away on his branch.  Both the image and the sentiment are from TLC and I added just a touch of colour and some distress ink to them.  I also used a strip of music notes from some digital papers by Lindsay Stamp Stuff available at MyGrafico.  The ribbon is from multicraft imports and the wonderful design paper is from K & Company.  To finish it off I added an old button my mom had given me.  She gave me a bunch of buttons that came from my grandparents estates when they passed away.  Knowing I love buttons, she saved them for me.  Thanks for dropping by, and please come again as I have more posts coming out soon.

Mellow Out

Tis the season for yummy hot chocolate and the best time to have it is after being out in the cold.  Preferably having fun!

This card I have to share is inspired by the challenge over at Designed 2 Delight - snowmen.  I love snowmen and this is one of my favorites! It is a digi from DDH and I coloured him with prismas.  I love his stick arms and thought that this ribbon would do well to compliment them.  The sentiment is from TLC and I matted it to some wonderful chocolatie cardstock form Stampin' Up.  The sentiment and image I inked with Ink It Up's chocolate brown and then arranged it on some fun snowflake paper form K & Company.  The final detail was the little red heart button.  I love to find special places for buttons.  Hope you find the need to mellow out with a good cup of hot chocolate after some fun in the snow!

Candy Corn is a Vegetable

Today I just have a fun little card that I made for my brother who loves to find ways of "not" eating his vegetables.  Yes, it's not something that you "will grow out of".  He is a full grown man and still avoids his "greens". 

I found some small envelopes at a "free store" at the recycling center in our city.  So I thought that I'd make a postcard to put in it.  I found the fun candy paper and sentiment at TLC.  I just love it when I see something and imediately know what I want to do with it.  I hope it makes him smile.
