Happy Birthday

Good Evening Everyone !!! Oh I had such a great day at work today so thought i would come home and do some playing!!! It really felt good to play through the week.

My next to the youngest grandson is having a birthday in another week so thought I would use this new image from Sugar Nellie from the Home Grown collection to make his birthday card. This is Oliver’s New Wheels and he is available now over at Funky Kits. He is a must have for all those boys cards that is for sure. Isn’t he so handsome???

He has been colored with copic’s and I have used some papers from BG. The sentiment is from Sandra’s Digital Stamps. Just perfect for this holder.

I used the ticket punch from SU for the corners and added some spacers and brads around my image. And look at this gorgeous ribbon I just got !!! This is some wrinkles ribbon I got from over at Really Reasonable Ribbon . I have been dying to get to play with my new ribbon and can’t wait to show you all the others I got. You can find this wrinkled ribbon HERE. I used the gorgeous sketch by Jacque over at Friday Sketchers and so loved using it I will sure be using it again.

I am entering this card into the following challenges.

Sending big Hugs ((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))

Happy Birthday

Happy Friday dear friends. Well most of you have been waiting for the weekend but to me it is just a day closer that I have to go back to work. It is going to be hard to go back after being off for 24 days. I so am not looking forward to the long hours. But went to my surgeon’s appointment yesterday and he said I am doing great. So got the big release to return to work Monday.  I want to thank you all for your lovely comments and emails during this time off that I have had. It has been so nice to read them all and I want to thank you sooooo much.

 

Today I have a card to show you for the Sugar Bowl  there is a wonderful sketch to follow and the option is Birthday. So i have used this adorable Simply Sassy image from Sugar Nellie. This one is called Hippy Chic. Isn’t she a cutie and I just love those eyes. I am still using up some old papers from SU, got a long way to go lol but have colored my image with copic’s and the sentiment is from Sandra’s Digi’s .  I just added some brads and spacers to the the frame and left it very CAS

 

While I had the stamp out I stamped on a canvas bag and colored it with my copic’s. I had seen these made before but was a little scared to do it but thought oh go for it so I did. I think it turned out very well the copic’s never ran and I was well pleased how it turned out. Now I know I am going to have to fight with my granddaughter for this and I am sure she will win lol The sentiment  is from SU

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 ((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))

Meet Joy and some Happy News !!!

Happy Thursday dear friends !!! I hope you are having a wonderful day. I have some exciting news but it won’t be a big deal to you all but it sure was for me. I went for my first check up at the surgeons office today and he said things were doing good and I got to move up to some baked potato’s, pasta, mac and cheese. Oh I was doing the happy dance!!! I was never in my live so sick of Broth and jello !!!! I don’t even want to see them for a long time. He said just to eat real soft mushy stuff. Don’t think it didn’t take me anytime to get home and fix me some food lol I was starving lol Okay enough but I was just so excited.

 

I would like to show you Joy today !! She is the last of my Simply Adorable images from Sugar Nellie and don’t forget to keep stalking Funky Kits for they will be coming soon. I have read all your comments and emails and am so glad to know you all love these too. They are just precious.

I have colored Joy with my copic’s and have used some older papers from Daisy D’s. I have made my card pretty simple for I didn’t want to take away from this beautiful image. The sentiment is from Sandra’s digi’s I just love these digi’s they are punched out with SU punches. I have added some raffia ribbon that a very dear friend sent me some time ago. I use this sparely lol And the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The branch is a MS punch.

 

Did you all see on the Sugar Nellie Blog today that the new Simply Sassy Blog has opened. Oh you don’t want to miss all the fun there. So keep checking it out.

Now for my second card today I have used this adorable Lily of the Valley image for there new challenge over at Lily of the Valley Challenge Blog. There is a beautiful sketch to follow that Lena made. I have used papers from K&Co and the SU border punch.  my flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the branch is from MS. This little beauty has been colored with my copic’s and I have used some glamour dust on her.  The corners were given to me ages ago from a dear friend and thought they worked pretty for this card.

 

Well have a wonderful evening and hope to see you all tomorrow. Sending big hugs and again thank you so much for your wonderful comments, it means more than you will ever know. Hugs

A Box of Candy!!!

Morning Everyone!!! I hope everyone is staying warm. Its a little nippy here. The work week has been a busy one. Leave the house at 5 am in the dark and get home in the dark.  This is the time of year where our production gets worse than what is normally is. So my crafting fun is always on the back burner.

This has took me all week to get done just because it is so late when I get home. I have made an easel card box with a drawer to put some candy in.

I used one of last years Tilda’s. and the circle sentiment is from Sandra’s Blog . I so love her digi stamps she has such a talented lady.Then my sentiment on the bottom is from Verve.

Here is the card front

Life Happens

Hello !!! Hope this finds you all doing well. Today I have another Sugar Nellie card to show you from the new release over at Funky Kits. Simply Sassy set 3 is available now and I do hope you have yours ordered for you know these go fast. Today I have used Fashionista and Laid Back Dude on my card.  They have been colored with my copic’s and these pretty papers are from The Paper Studio.  Punches I used are from SU. And I used one of my new spellbinder dies.  I am not for sure of my sentiment. I have forgotten where it is from sorry.

Oh and I had a blast making this lantern that I saw on the lovely and talented Norma’s Blog. This girl ROCKS !!!

I had some trouble with my roof only because I was so tired but the directions were really awesome. I am telling you this lady is so talented.

I used the Snowman from Magnolia and some MS and SU punches , some flower soft for this fur and lots and lots of twinklets for the snow lol And boy that was fun cleaning that up, I had that stuff every where lol

The sentiment stamp is one I got from Sandra’s Blog, you all need to check her blog out, Such great sentiments. I love these.

 

Here is a side view of the lantern. My grandson saw this when I got it finished and asked if he could have it. I was really shocked for he never wants anything like this but he is going to fill it with candy and don’t ask me who he is going to give it too lol Just glad he liked it.

 

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping bye.
