Think Spring

Yeah right!! We are in the middle of a major winter storm. They are predicting approximately 20 cm of snow and I am making spring cards. I think I am losing my marbles~!! Haha, no this was for a challenge on another sight to make a just because card that is happy and bright with texture--this is my card. I really love this color combo. The green paper is Cosmo Cricket, the white is Doodlebug, a bazzill chipboard flower and the spring quote is from Around the Block, ribbon is May Arts, wow, talk about multiple manufacturers. Thanks for looking, stay warm everyone!!

Sharing some news......

Wow, I can finally spill the beans and share my exciting news with you. I've been invited to be on the Caardvarks design team from January through April. This is a big honour for me and the first DT I'll be on. Jen and the girls have some fun things in store for the next four months so stay tuned. What a fabulous team!! Psst, only 14 days til Christmas, are you ready??? I know I am not!!

Caardvarks Day 3 & 4

Here's my two take on Page Maps and Caardvards Sketches 3 & 4. Believe it or not, one as NO sewing and the other as NO inking. I can't remember the last time I didn't sew on a card. EGADS!! The red one uses all K & Co. papers and the B & W one uses all Doodlebug papers. Happy Humpday!!

Caardvarks--Day 2

Here's day 2 for the Caardvarks-Becky Fleck week long challenge. Can't say I am crazy about this one, but I needed a 50th birthday card for my sister's birthday this week. All K & Co. papers and glitter rub ons again. AC Thickers for the 5oh!!!

Caardvarks and Pagemaps

are having a fantastically challenging week this week. Caardvarks is featuring a different PageMap card sketch everyday this week. This is my take on yesterday's sketch. I loved this sketch so much when I saw it that I pretty much copied as it was. I used K & Co. Wild Safron paper and paper ribbon as well as K & Co. glitter rub ons. I cut the chipboard stems myself, but not the flourish, I am not sure who that is by. I added the little glass beads to the tops of the stems (I noticed after I had taken the picture that one of the beads floated off the stem and of course it was too late to do anything with it then). I am anxiously awaiting today's sketch. I love having these to get my mojo movin'!!Well, we have a beautifully sunny, cold December day here, a perfect day for preparing for Christmas. I started my Christmas baking yesterday and made some yummy Chocolate Mint Cookies. Today I think I'll get a GumDrop Cake made. Hope you all have a fabulous Sunday doing whatever makes you happy!!!

JOY to the world...

My girlfriend is having her annual Christmas craft party tonight but this year it is changed a bit. Instead of making 8 or 9 crafts (one per each person) this year we only have to make one craft and we will draw names. This is what I made to give. I got the idea out of the Paper Crafts Holiday Projects issue. I used all K & Co. paper and BG letters. Bought a preframed picture from the $$ store and disected it to get the frame and the matting. I am quite pleased with how this turned out, I hope whoever receives it will like it too!!
