A Million Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I finally had a chance to order and try out one of the Birch Press layering die sets. Oh Em Gee I totally love these! They cut beautifully and layer so perfectly. I have a feeling I will be making some sets of cards with these and will be trying different color combos. The main supplies are listed below, but I wanted to add that all cardstock is from MFT and adorable cat image was colored with copics on the blush colored cardstock.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Cute

Fantastic Dad!

Hello everyone,

I'm popping in to wish my dad a Happy Father's Day and share the card I made for him. I used Lawn Fawn and Simon Says stamp products for the die cutting and stamping. I love the Lawn Fawn Puns Galore Stamps and Matching dies and finally got to use this set. I combined that with stitched rectangles and frames for the card front. On the inside I actually used a Simon Says Stamp Set called Mothers Day Zingers. These sayings really make me laugh.

I would like to enter my card in the Paper Player's Challenge. It is a CAS Celebration challenge to celebrate their 300th!

That's all for today!

A Blessed Christmas

Hello everyone. It certainly feels strange to return to my blog after being MIA for almost a year! What can I say, moving to a new school made life so incredibly busy that when I had a rare 30 seconds to whip up a CAS card there was no time for photos, blogging or to clean my craft room. LOL! Anyhoo, here is a replica of one of the Christmas cards that I made last year to kick off my mojo and get my cards started for the upcoming holiday season.

This was a very simple card to put together. I used the Paper Smooches - A Blessed Christmas stamp set, colored the image with copics, grabbed paper scraps from my scrap bin along with a gold piece of recycled ribbon and mounted it all on kraft cardstock. Of course I had to add a little shimmer with my Wink of Stella pen and some gold stitching with my pilot gold pen. Easy Peasy!

I would like to enter my card into the Paper Smooches: Gold Challenge. I am also entering it in their December Guest Designer Search.

That is all for today! I certainly hope to be back posting on a more regular basis.

Warmest hugs,

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my family, friends and followers. I wish you much happiness and many blessings this holiday season! These Swanky Snowdudes from Paper Smooches are one of my favourites to use.

I'd like to enter my card into the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge! Merry Christmas to all!

Warmest Hugs,

Popping in to say . . .

Hello blogland it is my son's birthday today. Happy Birthday Adam!!! Can't believe you are 14 today!! Hope you have a fabulous day sweetie and can't wait to pop on over to the theatre to see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with you and the rest of the crew. Here is the birthday card I made for you to go with the movie theme. I had to have some of the popcorn falling out of the bucket, because I don't know about you, but I can't seem to have popcorn without some hitting the ground before I get to my seat . . . LOL!

I have been waiting awhile to use some of the supplies on this card - especially the cute popcorn items from Stamps of Life! Banner die is MFT, numbers are Lawn Fawn, patterned paper is Lawn Fawn and Avery Elle and the tiny inside greeting is Simon Says Stamp.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog - anything goes

Clear It Out Challenge - anything goes

Thanks for stopping in - I am off to the movies,
