Essentials by Ellen July Mix It Up Challenge: PAPER SMOOCHES

Over at The Classroom, they have a fun challenge going!  Essentials by Ellen July Mix It Up Challenge: PAPER SMOOCHES!  Super fun!  I love both of these companies!!  I was lucky enough to win the Spring Release!!!  LOVE everything!!!!  So I used those flower dies and a free digi from the Paper Smooches!
Here's my card, love doing CAS.

 



Watercolor

This is my entry for THE WATERCOLOR BLOG HOP from Paulina's page.

I used my new dies and stamp set from Ellen Hutson that I won!!  LOVE THEM!!

It's the first time I try watercoloring!  So much fun!
The tag is from PTI.

Thank You

I made two cards for the end of the year at school.  Didn't make them "school" theme but I really wanted to thank my Son's Kindergarten teacher! 

For the card I used Fillable Frames #5 Mini Stamp Set sentiment and the pattern paper is from GCD Sunkissed collection.  The cardstock is from PTI, pearl from HA, and the ink is SU!



These cards are perfect for the CAS-ual Fridays CFC104 challenge; banners & flags!

Different colored pattern paper but from the same collection.

I used the sketch from CAS(E) #30!  Love this one!!

Thanks for looking.

Happy Birthday MOM!

It was my BEAUTIFUL Mother's birthday yesterday!  She is 56 years young!  So, of course I made her a card.  It fit perfect for Simon Says Stamp Challenge:  Anything goes!  I used papers from Simple Stories Fabulous collection (they are super cute)!  A doily and some bling from my stash.  I made my own crocheted doily :)  She loved it!

Sorry for the bad photo.

Happy Birthday GCD style!

I was lucky enough to win the SUNKISSED collection from GCD!  Its beautiful and so fun to work with.
I made my flowers from one of the pp and added some bling!
This fits perfect for SSS challange for April Showers and/or Spring Flowers.  This is my first time entering and I'm so excited.  I used the die from SSS pinpoint border to add some prettiness.  I tried putting it straight on my BigShot but the die moved.  So I left it as is and I kinda like it better :)  The card base is from PTI as is the sentiment.
I'm glad I finally got to blog something!  Thanks for taking a peep!

Flower clip

May PTI's blog hop theme is FLOWERS!!
I had been tempted to do some flower clips but didn't seem to have the right fabrics. My daughter's school has the students wearing uniform shirts. She had a really old one, so instead of throwing it away, I cut it up and used my PTI flower dies to make her a clip!! Added a cute button from my PTI stash!
I made two different ones. One with a flower and one with a button. I think they turned out so cute!! I just cut out a felt (PTI) circle and used it on the bottom.
Sorry for the bad picture, I had to take it with my phone :(
Thanks for stopping by!!!

HB

On this card, which I made for another friend named Carol. I used some goodies that I got from my friend Molly on the Valentine Exchange that Michelle organized. That was really fun :)

My ink and sentiment are from PTI and the pp is from BG~Urban Prairie. The ribbon I got from Walmart.

I used the sketch from Clean & Simple FTL 132.

I made her some magnets as part of her gift. I used the pp from BG and the frame from Fillable Frames from PTI. I cut out the bird.

Thanks for looking and have a GREAT DAY!!

ps: its getting really hot here in Florida :0

Hello Sunshine

Hello Friends!

I made a card for a friend last week and wanted to make another one just for fun! I used my pp from BasicGrey~Urban Prairie. Beautiful papers by the way :) The pink flower was made from a PTI flower die and outer flower was made from the spellbinders big scallop die. I also used the banner die from PTI and one of their yummy buttons! The sentiment is from the Fillable Frames collection. I cut out the butterfly from the pp. Simple yet so pretty, if I do say so myself ;)

I was somehow inspired by Gretchen's card HERE! She's always making beautiful cards!!

Baby Shower

Last weekend I was invited to a babyshower. I knew I wanted to "make" her a gift. Of course I bought her some cute boy outfits but then I knew I wanted to use my number dies from PTI. So I went with making 12 tags. One for each month before he reached his first birthday. I used mostly scraps :) Mostly everything was PTI.

I was inspired by Shari's card from Hero Arts. My paper piecing was inspired by Moxie Fab World's Stamp it! Technique's Week: Paper Piecing Challenge.

For month 9 I used Leo from Jane. Super cute!!!

Thanks for looking!!

Happy Birthday Carol

Carol just had her birthday and issued a challenge on her amazing blog! You should check it out, if you haven't already!!! Happy Birthday!!

For her challenge she wanted happy colors, flowers, and birthday sentiment. Easy Peasy!

I used Clean & Simple's FTL128. The colors melon, aqua, and kraft came from JUGS72 color challange.

My First Blog Award

Some days ago the fab Lynn from Miller's Ink sent me this award! I have to share 8 things about me.

1. I live in a very small town.
2. I have a 9 year old (almost 10) daughter and a 4 year old son.
3. I started scrapbooking back when I was 18!
4. I started to make cards about 3 years ago!
5. My husband and I own 2 businesses (with the economy, its very hard).
6. My Mom taught me how to crochet back when I was in my early teens.
7. I am fluent in Spanish and English.
8. I love to clean, but I don't like cooking.

I'm to pass this to 8 wonderful ladies but I'm not sure to whom. I'm sure they already have it :) Everyone in the crafting hobby is so nice and talented!!
Thanks so much Lynn!!

PTI Anniversary Tag Download

So this week PTI is celebrating 4 years!! Congrats!
For today, Nichole has a free download on some tags her designers made just for us. We are to create a card with those. I am terrible at coloring and my printer is out of color ink (just found out) :( So I colored the image that Lisa designed. Here is the link for today's PTI post.
