Happy Tuesday everyone!!

What a beautiful sunny day we had today, but terribly windy and cold. I am so looking forward to some nice warm spring days!! I got a new spring haircut today, it feels so much better!! I am getting my living room and hall painted on Thursday, so my house will even have a fresh look for spring, Yayyyyy.



Here are a couple of cards I made for Becky Fleck's Page Maps for March's new card maps. She emailed me a sketch and I made both of these for her to choose from, she chose this one.



I think I actually prefer this one, I love the colors on this one and that Scenic Route paper is so nice!! Hope you all enjoy the rest of your week. Tomorrow's my Friday, love it. I am taking Thursday off to work on our paint job with my sweet honey and Friday's Good Friday, love short weeks!!!

My friend Roree...

Carla

Ivanka

CPS #55

I just love the sunshiney look to this Fun in the Sunshine card. I made this for the CPS blog #55. I really love this sketch and I haven't played along on their blog for so long that I decided to give this one a try. I used Tres Jolie papers and the chipboard accents are all from the $$ Store, they were a perfect match for this paper!!

HB2U

I was honored when Cards Magazine asked me to do a card for their sketch for the One Sketch - Four Ways feature in their Dec./Jan. '08 magazine. They sent me the sketch and this is what I came up with. I love the colors on this. The black and white papers are Doodlebug as well as the paper frills. Flowers are Primas, Making Memories, Lil Davis and Heidi Swapp. Used some paint on teh flowers and Voila!!!

I've got a question for you. Can you give away the cards that you've had published or do you have to keep them for remembrance sake? I'd love to give them away, but just can't seem to let go of them!!!

Storm day today...

so we are staying inside today and just being plain ole lazy. I needed a day like this. I am even still in my nightgown and it's almost suppertime!! Oh I probably shouldn't admit that, but who cares, I never get to do this. I've done a little homework, got a bit of baking done, did a load of laundry and now I've even got leftovers to feed the kids for supper!! haha. The only thing missing from my day was time in my crafty room to play with some paper. But I do have a card to post. Caardvarks just posted the latest challenge, we're taking a trip--a Caard Trip, it is a transporation challenge. You have to make a card that relates to any form of transporation that you can think of. Here's my contribution to the team. It is a little bit of a departure for me, but well Caardvarks is a challenge blog, isn't it? Hope you like it. Hope you are all staying warm today, don't forget we spring ahead on Saturday night. Yayyy, I can almost feel summer, even on this storm day!!!

Helloooooooo

anybody out there!!! It's me...remember me!!! It's been forever since I posted. I've been so busy with school and home. Plus I've been working on a few things that I can't post yet, shhhh!! Have you been over to Caardvarks yet today, we've got a Micro Challange going on til tomorrow night. CARDSTOCK ONLY, NO PATTERNED PAPER!! Think you can do it?? Go give it a try!! There are some awesome cards in the gallery so far. Here's my contribution to the challenge....



Here's another challenge I've been working on over at L'il Scrappers, what a fun site, you should go check them out, and I love the fact that their Canadian!! Yay!! The challenge was Blossoms & Bling so this is what I came up with.
Hope you all are having a great weekend and I hope it won't take me another month to make a post here!! hahaha.

Catching up at home today..

I had such a busy weekend that I didn't have a chance to get anything done at home so I am playing catch-up today. I have been struggling with the latest challenge at Caardvarks this month. We were sent some really fun stamps from Queen Kat Designs to use for the month's challenges and I am being challenged, I must say. This is one of the cards I came up with, I am quite pleased with how this turned out. I hope they like it too. I used the XOXO stamp and stamped it on black scribbler paper that I stole from my daughter, shhhh. I then cut a chipboard heart and painted it and covered it with red glitter. The felt swirls are from Queen & Co. (I think). All in all, I think it turned out OK.
