Always

Hi Ladies- this will be a quick post- the card is quite simple and I am on vacation.......

I can not take credit for this exact card as I found one similar to this one on SCS and used many of the elements to creat this. This is done with the SU Always set and Rose Red DP. I embossed the bird in black, the shimmer looks wonderful against the card. The matting is done with blace and regal rose with the little berries stamped with rose red ink. The ribbon is regal rose grosgrain.
I hope you enjoy it!

Little C Sketch

Happy Tuesday all! I am in sunny Florida but I was able to get this Little C's sketch challenge completed before taking off and I like how it turned out. The sketch was to use red, white and blue which at first I thought would be difficult based on the stamps I had but then I thought "think outside of the box Heidi!" and this is what I came up with.
If you are like me you have all those wonderful cuttlebug folder hanging around and I have been wanting to use them more often, not just for the backgrounds but what about using them for the main focus? Well do you see one stamp on this card? NOPE. I used floral fantasy as the base and then swiss polka dots on the hearts. The flowers I got from Little C's and they are All Natural Accents. This would be a cute Valentine's Day card for a friend too! Come on over and see what the other ladies have done with the challenge!
Tata for now!

Springtime Skiing

This Edwin skiing is one of my favorite images and so I had to pull him out one last time and put him to ink. I did decide to give him a little color though- instead of the typical winter scene and colors I went with greens. You know, if you are like me, you are drawn to the same colors all the time- whether it is paper or my copics so I picked some I had not used and then found some paper to match and this is what I came up with. I guess it was a challenge to myself! So- challenge yourself today- choose 2-3 colors that you have not used in say a month and give it a try. Come back and post your photo here!

This Magnolia stamp you can find over at Kelly's at KLStampinnScrappin, she has a nice variety of Magnolia's and she is always placing new orders as well. Stop on over!

Have an awesome Day!

Berries and Cream

I was once again feeling like spring- I think it might be the upcoming vacation! You think? I love this SU Upsy Daisy set and keep forgetting to pull it out. I used SU barely banana and Rose to matte the photo. I also used rose to ink the flowers, used the paper piercing tool to give the picture a little depth and make it pop! The background is Cuttlebug Swiss Dot folder- do you not just love this folder? It is clean and simple and can be used on so many different types of cards.

This next card, as you can see I used the same colors but just designed it to be a tiny bit different. I still used the same items, including the cuttlebug folder. The tag on both of these cards is made using the Nestabilities Ribbon Tag Trio and I really like it but my problem is that I do not have a white oval that fits these. So if you have this set- what do you use? I have a friend that I am going to send this to because she is working so hard and doesn't feel she can ever take a break and I want her to take care of herself.

Have a good weekend!

Little C's Sketch Challenge

Happy Day!

Today is my first day to participate in the Little C's Sketch Challenge. I used this sweet little High Hopes Sheila and Background Jungle Stamp and colored them with my copics. The DP is a piece that I had bought some time ago and it was in my paper pile but there was no name on the back of it. I matted with SU real rust, chocolate chip, wasabi (which is also the base of the card). What about the flowers and leaves? I had not used these until Jen sent them to me and they are called All Natural Accents and you can get them at Little C's! They look so pretty and they feel good as well.

Thanks for stopping in and don't forget 15% off Magnolia and Hannah stamps over at Little C's until 2/16. And don't forget to check out the other DIVAs projects- there is a list of them on my side bar!

A Little Something............ I wanted to show you all something a friend of, Sue sent to me. It is a Scrappy Sac and she made it. I have had it for some time now and I honestly use this thing daily. It is PINK of course which is my favorite color but it also sits on my craft table, that little part on the table has some type of weight in it so it hold it in place. I can throw all my scraps and junk in it- plus it is great to take with you when you go other places. So, where can you get these? I asked my friend the same thing- and that is when she told me she makes and sells them. Check out her Scrappy Sacs HERE
