Mother & Friend



I am here with a quick, simple gift for Mother's Day.  I wrapped my daughters favorite chocolates to give to her.  I measured the mini bag and cut out a piece of cardstock, adding a MS doily punched border on each side.  I used Indie Art cart. for the rose and punched to holes for the recollections ribbon.
On the back I added a tag I made using Create a Critter with a sentiment(I edited) from My craft Spot.  Sorry for the poor quality of the pic but the camera and lighting was just not cooperating. 
Here is a side view of the scrumptious goodies.  Thanks for dropping by.

Little Critters

Hi all. Happy Tuesday to you.  I am here with my 2nd card set and even though it is more time consuming, I am starting to enjoy making them.  As usual, I went to the Create a Critter & MS Seasonal carts.  From my stash I added glitter dots, Studio G ink, American Crafts ribbon,  Skittles, a gorgeous 3D flower from Janis @ Paper Compulsion which I won last year.  To finish it all off I stamped some Peachy faces(PK-493, PK-943, Pk- 573).  I had so much fun doing these cuties.  Thanks for dropping by.

I hand cut the extra pieces to create a pocket and hide tag.  I used another Studio G sentiment stamp W/brown Moment ink & PowderPuff Mango.

Hap-Bee Birthday

Hi all!  So excited its Friday and not only because its the weekend.  I have been preparing for a much needed visit to my very missed granddaughters. I haven't seen them since June of last year and you know how fast kids change.  I will be putting away the craft tools for a while to reconnect with my girls.  I am so grateful to my daughter sending for me.  I will still be checking my email & little crafting whenever possible.
Now on to the crafting. I used Create a Critter & MS Seasonal carts. to make this Sketch card which was originally for Peachy Keen.  With limited time and my computer going haywire, I was unable to post it.  From my stash I used ribbon(American Crafts), flower button, Studio G glitter & stamp, Sakura white gel pen, Cuttlebug embossing, MS border punch and Peachy face(PK-294 Cornies).

Rock- A-Bye Baby



TGIF to everyone and what a beautiful sunny day here.  I am here with a baby card using my new cart., Nursery Rhymes, which I won over at HIMCR on one of Laurie's challenges.  From my stash I added MS doily border, an old flower sticker border. The paper is from Recollections and Lost & Found/My Minds Eye.  It was a simple  and quick card.  Even though I never make a card quickly.  It always takes me quite a while to do any card.  Enjoy your weekend and thanks for joining me.

Green Thumb





Hi everyone.  I am her with a combo theme. It is for a Mother who loves gardening and for Arbor Day.  I scrap lifted the idea for the Tri-Shutter Fold card from Mary @ Cardz TV.   I apologize for the paper clip on the card but what do you do when the card just does not flatten enough.  I needed to hold it closed to photograph it.  I used my new Freshly Picked cart. for the cuts.  From my stash I added cherry gem stickers(I've had these forever), canvas twine,

canvas twine, Gems, flower sticker, Twine, MS flower punch, Studio G stamp sets, glitter & ink, My Pink Stamper sentiment & My Craft Spot Sentiment.  The MS flower is hanging with plastic thread which is all I had.  It was the most difficult part of the card and it didn't quite center.  Well that is what scrapping is all about.  Thanks for joining in on the fun and this was my very 1st Tri- Shutter fold card.

Sisters 4-Ever



Hi everyone.  I am back with a family card  I made with my granddaughters in mind.  I used Create A Critter, Everyday Paper Dolls & Everyday Pop-Up Carts.  From my stash I used, whats slowly becoming one of my faves, Peachy faces(PK-146 Piles of Smiles).  I also added Studio G Letter stamps and ink, letter stickers and Sakura gel pens.  The large flower was from my granddaughter's hair pieces which I added a button to.  I know it is going to seem crazy and I don't know if any of you do it, I learned from my Mom(seamstress) to always keep any accessories from old clothing you are discarding.  So I always keep buttons, zippers, hair pieces, etc.  Since I've been paper crafting I have been using many of my stored items.  I love special folds, so I decided to make it a Middle Step-Up card. Thanks for dropping by.

Spring Breeze

Hope everyone is having a great week.  I am so excited to be here with my 1st pinwheels.  Always wanted to do one but found it to be complicated.  I had foolishly forgot about utube.  So I decided to go and check one out.  These rad pinwheels were the result.  I made them from Recollections specialty packs for my granddaughter. She loves Monster High and these designs go great with there fashion style.  I added some metal brads, I won some time back, and used a couple of wooden scures.  They turned out to be so simple to do.  Thanks for dropping by.

How Old?




Hi to all my bloggie friends and happy Monday.  The stamp I used for my card is a few years old. Don't remember where or when I purchased it.  It is a Studio G stamp and when I saw it I couldn't stop laughing.  I think the sentiment is so funny.  I stamped it 2X's, cutting out one and coloring it with Sakura gel pens.  From my stash I also added Studio G glitter, gem, buttons and ribbon.  I hand cut the banners and the scalloped frame was made using Create a Critter cart.  I finished it with 2 new MS punches(flower border & flower).  Have a swell week and thanks for joining me.

Him & Her

It was a great day and I'm sure many of you are glad its Friday as I.  the sun was shining and the temps are a bit higher.  I made a rare theme I hardly ever make.  I used Formal Occasion cart. which is still fairly new, since this is only the 2nd time I use it.  I was thinking about what cut to use and thought of my daughter.  She is a very simple person and really does not like to dress up to much.  That is why I chose this cut.  I used MS Elegant Edges for the sentiment and added some musical ribbon from my stash.  I also embossed the white background with a Cuttlebug folder and inked the sentiment with Studio G whit ink.  Have a super and blessed weekend.
                                                    HAPPY EASTER!

Easter Sweets



I am back with my 1st Easter basket this year.  I used Pop Up Cards cart.  There was one problem that Provo Craft didn't consider when creating this cut.  Each side of the basket was detached from the other.  I had to take an extra half hour to cut small rectangles to attach each side of the fence.  I also used MS Seasonal cart. for the rabbits I added around the rest of the basket.  The butterfly, flower and handle are MS punches.  I added a Peachy face(PK-493), gems, a skittle and bow.  If I would have had a smoother assembly it would have been more enjoyable.  Thanks for dropping by to join me.
