Together

This is alittle Sarah Kay card that I made last month and never got posted for you all. I colored her with my copics and I am pleased with how it came out. I think that I was going with the neutral colors when I started working on this. I love the flowers even though they are fallish, the papers are from a DCWV paper stack I do believe. I used my sizzix to punch out the flower behind the prima. The ribbon is celery from SU. The only thing that I am not crazy about is faux stitching..... I have never done this well. I popped the saying up so that it would give some dimension to the card.
Now- don't forget about my blog candy in my post from the other day, I know it is not alot but the images will be worth it. Good Luck!

Blog Candy is YUMMY!

Ok, I have been saying I need to get some blog candy up, as I hit 10,000 some time ago! So today I am going to share this little chipboard flip book with someone. It has paper piecing of a Tilda with a rose and I used K & Co paper on it (I actually made this for a challenge awhile ago). Along with this you will get a pack of images which will include Sarah Kay, Magnolia's, Gruffies, House Mouse, Riley the Moose (Hannah Stamps), Whipper Snappers and Precious Moments. There will be approximately 40-50 images and I may be able to personalize some (ones that are not stamped yet) to include ones requested.

Lots of Pink

Over on Cute Card Thursday they want us to use LOTS of pink and so that is my specialty, you know how I love pink. Is this ribbon beautiful or what? I can't recall where I got this roll but it is a little wider and I love how it hangs on the card. Of course it is a magnolia...... I have not used these in a bit so thought I would share this one. The background is made with a bunch of strips of paper that I laid next to one another to look like a quilt. I just loved the colors, one of my friends showed me this technique and she is actually the one that gave me all the little strips of paper too! (thanks sue!). Hope you enjoy it...........

Welcome and Friendships!

Ok, I know, I keep changing my themes here: going from summer to Christmas but this little guy is too cute and so I had to post him. I made this one in August and I just love these precious moment stamps (they are no longer making them) and so I truly enjoy making cards with them. I did use the K&Co pink/green stack which is one of my favs. I used rose red from SU as well.

Next I have to show you, back in August I think it was (was it even earlier than that?) that I went and spent the day with Claudia? Well I have pics of us and I totally forgot to post them- so here goes (hope she doesn't get mad at me.... tee hee hee...... she shouldn't her hubby took the photo for heaven sake! Ha!!!) So this is Claudia and I.

Can you tell we were having so much fun? I think that this might have been after the kids were in bed and we were laughing and Paul came down to see what was going on. I truly enjoyed my day and look forward to getting together with her again sometime (hope she feels the same way!)

Hope you all have a fabulous rest of your weekend!

So Sweeeeeeeet!

I don't know about you all but this has been a fabulous summer here in Michigan, the weather has surely shown us what it can be like. We've had no rain in like 6 weeks, yeah- I know it is not good for the farming community but for those of us who love the heat and sun, it has been a dream. So yesterday and today it has been in the low 70's and it has rained and been a little gloomy, don't get me wrong because I know we need some relief but it also is a sign of the end of summer (along with the kids going back to school). So this card is in honor of the end of summer. This is a CC designs set and I used DCWV paper pack and layered on my celery SU paper. I colored this cute little monkey and his messy ice cream with my copics. I just love the bright colors and the summer memories. That would not be me in the tree but one of my kids! LOL. Okay, maybe I am just into sweets this week, by the looks of my cards. I bought these cute little epoxy stickers at JoAnn's this week. I had been eyeballing them for about a month and put it off cause I don't really need them but just gave in. They also remind me of my niece who is into drawing ice cream, cupcakes, etc.... and so this card I made for her. I will send it to her in the next month or so with some other goodies. I am also going to use my card scents cupcake to put in it so it smells yummy for her. The yellow paper is from the SU designer series and the red check is some that was sent to me. As you can see, I used the sentiment from the CCdesigns set as well.

BLOG CANDY: I have to share this with you, I found these sweet stamps and they are having some blog candy. Check out Spiralwhisper and see their new releases! They are so cute.

Kreativ Kristin is giving away awesome goodies! Plus look at her awesome work.

Missing You

Hey it is me! Yep, I am back from vacation and this is the perfect card to post today. It is a card that I made for.............. well this is a little confusing, it was made for my friends dog to give to her and her family when they returned from their trip to Chicago. My oldest son was "dog sitting" as you may say and so we spent a lot of time with their dog- and you could tell he missed his family so the last night I made this card to leave at their home upon their arrival. We then found out it was HIS birthday, I should have made him a doggy birthday card too~ The image is a Whipper Snapper and I used the SU designer series papers.

So anyways- a little about the vacation to Nuevo Vallarta- it was a great flight both ways, the weather was fabulous, had a few rain showers (it is their rainy season) in the evenings but it never once interrupted more than the evening uno game on the patio, which we took inside. It was so beautiful to wake to the ocean, the sunshine and the sound of the water. I just love it! I will miss it greatly and we will begin our next planning endeavor next week. So- I leave you with this picture that my son took. He spent a great deal of evenings taking pictures of the sunsets and the beach and I thought this one was pretty awesome.

I am going to get to work so I have some goodies to show you this week AND I really must put out some candy soon- don't you think?

Growing Friendship

I am getting ready to go on vacation but thought I would give myself a challenge and make a couple cards this week. So this one is one for the Friday Sketcher Challenge and although I am late I am going to post it anyways. This is a Hanglar stamp that my friend Karin sent to me, some K&Co paper layered on chocolate SU cardstock. I colored her with my copics- used some orange ribbon and the eyelet brads. One thing about those brads, I have a couple packages and I rarely use then and yet they are so cute! My with love is handwritten which I do like to do but is what I wanted.

Now this second card is one I made for the Spoonful of Sugar challenge using one of the sweetest stamps. This reminds me of when I was little and I always wanted to take my cats for a ride on my bike. You might recognize the colors from a card I made a couple weeks ago- I really wanted to use this paper up because I really liked it. The flowers I made with my sizzlit in my sizzix-

Tomorrow I am off on vacation ladies, I will not be around a computer and therefore I will not be back online to post again until at least 8/31. I hope you all enjoy your week (I am pretty sure I will) and look forward to posting in a week or so. I am coming upon 11,000 hits and since I didn't do a 10,000 candy I will do one when I return.
