A week’s work of play time.

 

Hello my dear friends!!! How is everyone’s weekend going?? I do hope you all are enjoying it. I have another quiet weekend with my grandson gone to his mom’s so I finished some cards I had been working on this week.

First I have this adorable Mimosa image from Bildmalarna I tell  you these images are so darling. I have colored her with my copic’s and have used some papers from BG. I used the SU ticket punch for the edges of the image and added some spacers and brads. I then had this chipboard wording so thought it looked pretty good. Then this adorable ribbon !!!!!!!! OMG I got my package from The Ribbon Girl that I won and I tell you what folks this ribbon is awesome.  I am so loving it and have used my ribbon on several cards I have made. I am defiantly going to be getting me some more of this gorgeous ribbon that is for sure. I also added a BG button to the front of the bow.

Now my next card is an adorable Lily Of The Valley image. Aren’t these girls such cutie pies?? She has been colored with my copics and I added some glamour dust to her necklace. Again I have used some of the gorgeous ribbon from The Ribbon Girl  this one is the seam binding and it is so yummy my papers are from The Paper Studio . I added some sizzix photo corners and I used the sketch over at Create 4 Fun Challenge Blog. And the theme over at Lily Of The Valley Challenge Blog is to have circles on your card.  Then I also made this for another challenge where there is a color challenge. Over at The Ribbon Girl Challenge Blog the theme is to use the colors Pink, Brown and Cream. I think this fits fine and with this adorable ribbon of theirs I just had to enter it.

Now look at this Simply Adorable !!!!!! Oh I had so much fun doing this card. It has been a long time since I made my own background papers and so had a blast. I have used Verity from Sugar Nellie here. I used the wording from Verve and some spellbinder dies.  I am entering this card into the Everybody’s Art Challenge for there gorgeous sketch.

My next card is called Call Me from Sugar Nellie and is available over at Funky Kits. She has been colored with my copic’s also. The papers are from K&Co and I have again used some of the delicious ribbon from The Ribbon Girl oh this was so easy to work with also, Loving it and thanks so much ladies. Make sure you all check out there store you will so be filling  your cart up lol I used a bosskut leaf die and added some flowers from Maya Road. I then added some flat bling to the corner. I am entering this card into the challenge over at PaperTake Weekly Challenge Blog where there is a gorgeous sketch by Dawny.

My last card to show you today is for the Challenge over at Stempelenmaleins Challenge Blog where there is a wonderful sketch to follow. I have used one of my new stamps from Sugar Nellie from the Leanne Ellis collection called If Only !!! Isn’t she a doll ??? She is also available now over at Funky Kits. She has been colored with my copic’s and I have used some papers from  SU. The flowers are from Prima and I added a flat pearl to the center of them and used the LEM leaf punch. The wording is from High Hopes.

Well that is it for me tonight. Sorry it took me so long to get my post done for the week. I just run out of time of an evening after work. I hope to be back tomorrow with some of my new stamps from Sugar Nellie that I got this week. They are yummy. See  you then and am sending you all Big Hugs (((((((()))))))

With Love

Happy Weekend Everyone !!! I hope you are enjoying your time this weekend. Sorry I didn’t get to make my post yesterday but ended up having a bad day. I think I tried to eat something I shouldn’t of. I guess this is a big shock to my stomach, But it was good going down lol

 

Today I would like to show you a card I made for the sketch over at Friday Sketchers and the color scheme over at Color Create Challenge Blog.

I have used this darling image I got from a dear friend called Bildmalarna these images are coming to the states and I am so excited. I think they are so cute.

I have made a card for Valentines for one of my granddaughters. The papers are last years SU papers. I have used a chipboard heart and covered it with stickles. The leaf and branch punch are from MS and the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts.  The sentiment is from Cuddly Buddly and have been punched out with some SU punches.  She is colored with my copic’s and I have used some glamour dust on her wings.. All pages have been distressed with Walnut distressed inks.

 

While I am off I thought it fitting to join in the challenge over at Whiff Of Joy Challenge Blog. It has been ages since I have been able to participate in challenges as much so thought I would take the opportunity to join in again after ages. I have used this Handsome Oakley here as a Dr. The sentiment is from High Hopes Rubber stamps. I have used some older papers from SU (yes I am going to get rid of these old papers by using them up this year.)  The bottom sentiment is from SU and the sentiment on the star is from Sandra’s Digi’s.  I added a calendar to the front of this as it can be used for a desk calendar if so fitting.  The star is a Maya Road chipboard that I covered in glitter.  I have also used copic’s to color him in.

Well that is it for me today. I have some house cleaning to do while the grandson is home since I can’t push a sweeper yet (that ‘s a good thing lol) so need to get my word done and am just going to take it easy on what goes in my stomach today. Don’t want a repeat of yesterday.

 

Thanks for stopping bye dear friends and I so appreciate all your comments. Sending Big Hugs ((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))

WASSUP???????????????

How is every ones week started out???? Mine started out pretty rocky but I am hoping it will get better lol

I have missed out on so many challenges lately that I just had to come home tonight and make a card. So I decided to do the Sketch Saturday challenge tonight.

I had gotten some new stamps right before I had to take some time off and so I just had to ink these cuties up. When I first started stamping I use to do Vintage and so I always used a lot of I Brake for Stamps images, well I went there and saw these cute adorable Little Rascals they have now and just had to get me some. This one here is called Luuk!!!

He reminds me of one of my grandsons with an attitude lol

I have colored Luuk with my copic's and have used some papers from BoBunny(loving them).

I have used some photo hangers from Close to my Heart and added some SU chocolate chip ribbon. The photo corners are also from Close to my Heart. The gems are just from my stash and the wording is from HH.

I have a couple more of these cute little rascals so watch out for them One is my oldest grandson up one side and down the other and then the other is looking just like my granddaughter. Isn't it funny how you pick out images that look or remind you of your family??

Well I better call it a night, I have to rise early for work, but do hope to come home and bring you another one of the earlier release digital images from Sugar Nellie. Remember you don't have to wait for them to be delivered.

Have a wonderful evening and thanks so much for all your prayers for my brother. We do know he has had a stroke and has some damage they are just trying to figure out what caused it so they can fix it. Thanks so much dear friends and big hugs((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))

I have used the High Hopes ant with cupcake, I think these ant's are just so cute. I have colored my image with copic's and added some spica glitter pens.

I have used my MS border punch and some raffia ribbon that a very dear sweet friend of mine sent me. And the please include in the challenge is handmade flowers and you all know I love making my flowers so this part was really easy. I used my MS branch and leaf for my flowers along with the retro flowers and on the large one is a paper flower I was sent by another one of my dear friends over in the UK. Don't they just have the cutest stuff?? Now I know you all will love using this sketch from Judy so make sure you go over to The Sugar Bowl and join in all the fun.

Now for my second challenge today I have used a sketch from Sketch Saturday!!! This Magnolia image had not even been inked up yet (I know a shame ) so I made sure I got it used this weekend and I really didn't add all the papers I should have from the sketch for I didn't want to cover up my jungle paperlol. I have used my McGill leaf punch around my image and the wording is from HH. I also used my MS punch and the ribbon is just from my stash.
I sure hope you all are having a great weekend. I need to get my house work done and then finish a project I have going for a friend at work. Thanks so much dear friends for stopping bye!!! Big Hugs!!
