• special day

    This was a tough card to photograph (if I get some time I want to retake it).  I was having such trouble with light and wind!!!  I take my cards outside since my house is so dark inside.  The wind was horrible and I went running after my card a…

  • cupcakes…

    I haven’t made a cupcake card in quite awhile.  I went through a phase of cupcakes all the time, but then I got some owls and then it was owls all the time. I use the Sweet Sunday Sketch #21 and Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #8 for inspiration.  This also…

  • i have new trees…

    I ordered a new stamp set from Close To My Heart a few weeks back and it has been sitting on my table very patiently waiting to be used.  I finally broke that out and created this cute little card this morning. I love these little treetops.  It is such…

  • Mojo Monday #89

    Time for another Mojo Monday sketch.  I bought a new set of K & Company paper and figured it was about time to break the seal and use it.  I think the paper is very fitting for summertime. This was actually a pretty quick card and used minimal supplies.  Just…

  • Sweet Sunday Sketch #20

    So, I have been working on finding my mojo.  It is really annoying when you just can’t seem to find the time or the motivation to sit down and create.  Last night I just needed to do something.  So I turned to one of my favorite bloggers, Karen Girdon, for…

  • Color Inspiration #53

    So my first attempt at a challenge this week led me to Kristina’s Color Inspiration #53.  These are really bold colors and make me step outside of my box.  As I tend to do, I went to my stash of patterned paper to see if I could get some sort…

  • Oh deers…

    A few weeks back, I did a challenge and used the cutest little deer.  Well, he is back with his momma.  I think they are so darn cute I just want to pinch ’em.  Reminds me a little of Bambi. This is for the CPS sketch challenge #116.  I decided…

  • A bird and a tulip

    I love to combine challenges and when I can combine two of my favorites, it is so much better.  This is for Kristina’s Color Challenge #52 and the Sweet SundaySketch #18. Again with the mustard yellow… oh so tough for me.  But I had this cute glittered chipboard tulip and…

  • Hi There!

    On the Hero Arts Blog the current challenge is to use dots! I love dots and am really excited to participate in this one. Dots, who doesn’t love dots!!!!  I’m dot crazy right now, especially since I bought my Cuttlebug.  I think my swiss dots folder could eventually be worn…

  • Best day ever!

    I just think this card is so cute!  I’ve seen quite a few similar designs and just love the feel of the card.  It seems so happy.  I sneaked in a little birdie and my new obsessions… trees and mushrooms.  I am waiting on a new tree stamp set from…

  • Sweet Sunday Sketch #17

    I’m getting a head start on Father’s Day cards.  I like the simplicity of the Sweet Sunday Sketch #17.  I find I have an easier time with “boy” cards if I keep them simple.  Masculine cards are such a challenge.  You just can’t add a flower and move on. This…

  • Chocolate, Rose, Mustard and White… oh my.

    So I decided I wanted to try my hand at the Mojo Challenge this week, plus using K Werner Design and Caardvarks for inspiration.  Here is their sketch. I turned the sketch sideways and came up with this. For some inspiration on colors, I used the Color Inspiration #51 from…
