Lovin' these Stamps


While checking out other papercrafter's blogs I've discovered these great digital images by Saturated Canary. Seems like a lot of people have known about them for quite some time...guess I'm a bit slow, lol. These images are just so cute I had to get one (the first of many, but please don't tell my hubby). I had a hard time choosing one 'cuz I wanted them all, but I chose this little sweetie because I make a lot of birthday cards.  She was lots of fun to colour. My Dp is by My Mind's Eye. I used Spellbinder Dies to cut out the flower & branches. Sentiment is by Stampin'up. I still feel like I would like to add something above the sentiment, but not sure what. Maybe 3 little gem stones? Time will tell.
Until next time.

What a wonderful day! Yes there was a bit of freezing rain this morning...just enough to "CANCEL SCHOOL!". Music to this school janitor's ears! So guess what I've been doing this morning - you betcha, colouring & making cards. My daughter just called and she & I are heading off to the Paper Pickle to check out Kim's new papercrafting supplies. Oh how I love "Snow/Freezing Rain Days"!
Anyway, this card is for the challenge over at Meljen's Designs. I used her cute image "Monkey Toes"...isn't he/she the sweetest little monkey you've ever seen. You just want to hug it! The challenge is to use "Buttons". My DP's are My Mind's Eye. Ribbon, buttons & embroidery floss from my stash. I used a corner punch & a Tim Holtz's die. Sentiment is by Stampin'up.
Hope you have a wonderful day also.

For You


Those challenge deadlines just seem to sneak up on me! I was afraid I wouldn't get this card done in time but amazingly I did.
This adorable digital image is by Mo Manning ( Digital Pencil Too). I just love her images. She has a whole bunch of new ones for Easter that I am finding irresistable. I know I'll have to limit how many I get 'cuz my hubby get the PayPal notices...gives me away every time!
Anyway the weekly challenge over at Mo's is to use "Lace" & at Sentimental Sundays the challenge is to use "Lace & Pearls", I'm thinking this card works for both.
My DP's are My Mind's Eye. Sentiment is a rubber stamp. The hinge, brad, pearls, lace & gift are from my embellies stash. I cut the scalloped circle by using a Spellbinder die (then folded it in half). Added some glitter glue & "faux stitching" to tie it all together.

Birthday Wishes


Happy Monday morning to you! Hope you had a great weekend. I did, I celebrate my birthday with all the family. Grandkids add so much fun to occasions such as this.
My card for today is for the challenge over at Kaboodle Doodle, hope you will join us. We would like to see purple on your project, lots or a little - it's up to you. You could win a get prize from Pink Gems Designs.
For my card I choose to use lots of purple. My Dp's are from Michael's Recollection collections in "Purple Gingham & Purple Paisley". My image "Sunflower Sprinkles" is by "Pink Gems Designs". The sentiment is a rubber stamp by "Stampin'up". I used a  Spellbinder die & Creative Memories cutting system to cut the ovals. Scalloped scissors, gems & some ribbon were used to add the finishing touches.
So that's it for today.
Again, I hope you will join us over at Kaboodle Doodle.

Happy St. Patrick's Day


This is my third card  for the CDAC Progressive Challenge. This image is by Crafting with Jack. Very easy & fun to colour up. Added some glitter glue to the shamrocks to give them a bit of sparkle. The Dp is from Michael's Reflection Collection "Green Gingham" & the cardstock is by Bazzill Basics, "Emerald City". I simply added a bow & a few gems to finish this card up.
I think this is the last card I'll get finished for this round of the progressive challenge. This group is the end of the second round so the Grand Prize for over 100 rubber & Clear Stamps will be held next week. Then another brand new round will be starting up & you can join for free, hope you'll look into it 'cuz it's lots of fun.
Hope you have a wonderful day,
Nancy

Birthday Wishing


Here is my first completed card for the progressive challenge at CDAC. This pretty image is by A Day For Daisies. I decided to change things up a bit & made a circle easel card. I like how it turned out.,  a real girly feel to it. The roses & ballet slippers have been in my stash for sometime so I don't remember where I got them. I used a Spellbinder die to cut out the scalloped circles. Added a bit of bling with a few gems & some glitter glue. The sentiment is by Stampin'up.
Thanks fopr stopping by,
Nancy
