Wooden Box

Yes it is me again today lol I finally finished a project I had been working on for awhile so figured I would go ahead and post it.

I got this wooden container at Hobby Lobby awhile back and had been working on it for some time, just never enough hours in the day. But I covered it with white paint and then added some papers from MME.

I used the adorable Manga girls from Sugar Nellie and colored them with my copic's. Also added to it is gorgeous roses from Wild Orchid Crafts and one Prima flower. Lace from my stash , some peel off's, and a flourish from BG. The leaf and branch is from MS, and then just added a few gems on one side.

Below is some different views of it. I plan on putting my rubber stamp sentiments in this that I just have to have on my desk. They will be in perfect reach now.

Well I do believe that is it for me this weekend. Have some work to finish around the house and get things ready for the work week.

Have a wonderful day and big hugs coming your way. ((((((((((((()))))))))))))

Birthday Mail

Morning to you all!!! Well it is the finally day of the weekend, boy they sure go so fast. I only have to work 4 days this week for I am taking a couple days off. So ready for them too lol

Today I would like to show you a couple of cards I made for some challenges. I really don't know why my pictures are not looking so great. They just seem to not have the right lighting and they really don't look this bad in real life. So please try to image them a little better lol I hope to one day get this fixed.

For my first card I have used one of the Greeting Farm images for the Farm Fresh Friday Challenge. I have colored Anya in with my copic's. And added some gorgeous Cherry Blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts along with the leaf die from SU. I used the daisy border punch from MS and added some stickles to the nestiblities and some gems to the corners of the card.

Then for Sketch Saturday I used Charlotte from the mail collection from Whiff Of Joy, she is sending someone some special birthday greetings here lol I have used papers from Cloud 9 and again those gorgeous Cherry Blossoms and Aster Daisy's from Wild Orchid Crafts on my card along with the MS branch.

She has been colored with copic's and spica glitter pens, and ribbon and gems are from my stash.

I am setting here writing up the post looking at the card that is pictured here and looking at my card on my desk and they look so different. If anyone has any good tutorials for taking pictures oh please let me know I am using my daylight lamp to take them but they are just so light..

Thanks for stopping bye and I do hope you all will enjoy the rest of the weekend, I had a wonderful day yesterday with my little grandson, he was really very good and we had a blast.

Big Hugs ((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))

Best Friends

Hello all, Today I have my last card to show you as Guest at Anyone for Anya. I would first like to say a big thank you to them for having me, it was so much fun. This week there is a lovely sketch by the very talented Dawny.

My papers I used on my card are from MME, these are some older papers but I don't use them to often for I love them so much lol I have used some peel off stickers in the corners, and added the bosskut flourish with some Prima flowers. The ribbon is some braided ribbon I had in my stash and the wording I am not sure of. My image has been colored with my copic's again, I just don't know what I would do with out the copic's lol I also added some stickles on her necklace.

Well I hope you will come and join us this week at Anyone for Anya. And again thank you so much for having me. Big Hugs all ((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))

Sugar Nellie

Morning all!!! Well it is Saturday and I am not at work so it is a wonderful day for me lol

But in a few minutes my little 1 year old grandson will be here to spend some time and keep grandma hopping so no crafting for me today lol

But wanted to show you a couple of cards I done.

This first one is for the Sugar Bowl, there is a great challenge this time, you get to pick your own sketch for the ones they have had in the past. Here I have used Challenge #20. I have used the adorable Daisy from Sugar Nellie. I think she is an all time favorite of everyone.

She has been colored with my copic's and I have used the new papers from BG. Ribbon is from SU and I have used the most gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I just love these flowers and I have another order on the way, they are so addicting that is for sure, so if you have been thinking of getting some I would go NOW!!

My next card is a Easel card for Sugar Nellie's group over at SplitcoastStampers. They have a wonderful challenge going on there and you could win a fab prize, so what are you waiting for , click over there and join in the fun.

I have used one of the Leanne Ellis images called Dreamer for my card from Sugar Nellie, rumor has it there is a new release coming. Oh I can't wait for them. And also Sugar Nellie has a wonderful surprise coming for all of you so make sure you keep stalking the store, you won't be disappointed that is for sure.

My papers for my card are from Cloud 9 and the dreamer is colored with my copic's and spica glitter pens. Roses of course are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I used some bling from BG. The sentiment is from Verve.

Now for my edges on my card. Oh my I got my distress it all in the mail and I so love this , so saves my hand but I think I went a little to deep on the paper but going to take some practice I guess but this is a wonderful tool to have if you love distressing.

So sorry my pic's aren't that great, still pretty dark here this morning but wanted to get it up before the little man gets here.

You all have a wonderful day and sending big hugs your way (((((((((((()))))))))))

Sunday Project!!!

Hello everyone!!! Well it is the last day of the weekend and that means tomorrow back to the slave board lol. But I have had this project on my mind lately and just had to do it.

I saw this on one of the SU blogs awhile back (not for sure which one sorry!) but I covered some chipboard with paper and added a cork board to it. Used the crop a dile to punch some holes at the top and ran some ribbon through it for some extra large eyelets for hanging. I used this adorable Charlotte writing letter from Whiff of Joy and glued her to the cork. I made some flowers with my retro punch and used the SU leaf die. Oh and also cut the word note out of my bosskut alphabet die. Put it all together and added a post it note pad and a couple of T-Pins to post the notes.

I made this for one of my dear friends at work, for tomorrow is her birthday. I so hope she will like it.

Well thanks for stopping bye and seeing me today, Have got laundry going soon to be done lol

Special

Good Morning!!! I am so sorry my Just Magnolia card is so late in posting. I have had one bad week and have so much to do. My dear friend here lost her husband this week and have been doing a lot of cooking for her and spending time with her that I just lost track.

This week at Just Magnolia we have a wonderful sketch for you by the very talented Bev. I always love using her sketch's.

I have used Tilda here and have colored her with my copics. The papers I used are from Su and also the wording and punch.

I also tried making one of Bev's flowers she done a tutorial on, not for sure if I got it so great but not to bad for a first try. I used the MS branch and leaf and added a pearl brad in the center of it. Bev's sure looks so much better lol.

Well sorry for this to be so short I have lots of work I need to get done and a few more challenges before I head out. So you all have a wonderful day. Big Hugs (((((((((()))))))
