Sunday Play Time

Good Afternoon!! I trust everyone has had a wonderful Sunday so far. I know I have had myself glued to the chair in my craft room all day. Do you know how long it has been since I was able to do that??? Oh have I had fun today.

I have managed to participate in several challenges this today so to start off with. Here is a card I made with one of the new Sugar Nellie Manga Girls. She is called Dreamy!!! Oh and was she a dream to color. I have used the sketch over at Sugar Nellie's Splitcoaststampers. Zoe has a sketch by Tiets for us to follow. Have you all visited there lately??? Oh Zoe is starting to get things rocking there. So come on over. I have not added much to this card at all, for I so love all the layers that Tiets puts in to her cards and so wanted to show them all off. The papers are from BoBunny.
This card is from one of my new stamps I got from I Brake for Stamps. This is the last one I got from the Little Rascals collection, reminds me so much of my grandson, he is always on his skateboard. He is called Kane!!! I used the sketch over at Sketchy Colors Challenge Blog. I have used some chipboard stars and have added some vintage crackle paint to them. The wording is from my computer and my papers are from BoBunny. I have colored Kane with my copic's.

This card is one of the images from Whiff of Joy from the Mail Collection. I have colored the desk with my copic's and followed the sketch over at Create4 Fun Challenge Blog. My papers I have used are from BoBunny, the card stock is from SU and I have used one of the new MS doily heart border punches. Ribbon and flower is from my stash and I have made this card also for the Allsorts Challenge Blog where you are to distressed your papers and add bow and buttons.

This was just made for the fun of it. It is one of the projects I found on Splitcoaststampers. I had so much fun making this today and I have used one of the Gorjuss Girls from Sugar Nellie. She has been colored with my copic's and I have used the BG papers and SU border punch. And the gorgeous flower is from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The next card I made is images from SU. I have used the sketch over at Sweet Sunday Sketch. I found this blog while blog hopping and I so loved the sketch she has made. The papers are from BoBunny and I have used some Raffia ribbon and the Doily Heart border punch from MS. I also used one of the cuttlebug embossing folders.

And this is just one of the cards from my SU club this last month. The wording is also from SU from the caddy and the butterfly's are in the new mini occasional caddy. Loving this folder too.

Well that has been my play day today. I think I need to see if I can get up lo Sure been stuck in this chair to long but boy did I have a blast. Thanks for stopping bye and seeing me, it so means so much. 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'm Back

It has been a very trying time and we still have some more waiting to find out more from the tests but right now he is doing pretty good, just tired. I had not been able to craft any at all, it was like my mojo just got up and walked away but my mind was just not on it and I want to thank Karen from Sugar Nellie, for being so patient with me this week, you are a doll dear. And a big thank you to Bev for taking care of the WOJ Challenge Blog for me while I was gone. You all are just the greatest.

It's Monday!!!!!!!

And I got home early today!!!!!!! I was so excited to get off work early today I had to come home and have a little play time. My frames for the seats I make didn't make it in today so I worked on a different line and got out early!! I was so loving it lol I managed to get home before it was dark lol

So I came home and made a couple of cards for a couple of challenges and it felt so good to get them done the same day they were posted instead of having to wait for the weekend to play.

My first card here is for The Pink Elephant, I have used one of the Magnolia snowmen and have used a few copic's on him and added some glamour dust. My papers are from Studio 8 and the snowflake is a MS punch along with the MS snowflake border. The sentiment is also from Magnolia.

My second card today is for Mojo Monday!!! I so love these sketch's for it makes me think of the stamps I use to use when I first started stamping. So I dug out a couple of my oldie but goodie stamps from I Brake for Stamps. I have used papers from Anna Griffith and my EK border punch. The ribbon was from my stash. I colored the image with my copic's and added some pop dots behind it.

Well I hope you all had a great day I know I did getting out of work early. Sending big Hugs!!!

Doing the Sugar Bowl +

How are you all doing this weekend??? Fine I do hope, I DID have to work Saturday so not much playing time for me but did manage to do a couple of challenges.

This first one is for the Sugar Bowl!!! A lovely sketch this week with the please include option of distressing!!! I have used one of the new digital images from Sugar Nellie this one is called Dream Cather. Isn't she adorable??? I have colored her with my copic's and my papers are from MME. I have distressed the edges with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and added some distressing ink to the edges. This sketch was just gorgeous and so I didn't want to cover up any of it so I left this really simple.

This is another digital image from Sugar Nellie, this image is Boy and Girl Fairy. It is so nice to get these digital images from Sugar Nellie for I don't have to wait at all to get them. I live in the US so it takes me about a week to get my stamps this was just awesome to have them right away. I have used on my card the Spiral punch from SU, my retro flower punches and have added some touches from my new stamps from Stempelglede as well as in the corner. The wording is a sentiment from Simon Says Stamp. The sketch I used on this card is from Sketch Saturday so I will be entering it there and also the theme at the Pink Elephant is Birthday so this fits in there also. This is my first time joining in at the Pink Elephant. I don't know why but am going to have to keep this one in mind too.

Now here is a sneak peak at one of the new images from Mary Hall that will be released soon at Sugar Nellie, These are some of her Winter kids, Aren't they cute out in the snow?? I have colored them with my copic's and have used some poplar white flower soft for the snow. I just love this flower soft. The wording is from Verve. And the sketch I have followed here is from Create 4 fun, this week.

Well this is all my fun I got to do this weekend, The rest of my time was spent in the factory working, now I need to get my house work done. I know I hate it too lol Have a wonderful week and big hugs coming at you!!

First Sled Ride

Oh I got an email earlier and opened it up and it was a video from my daughters phone where at the moment I thought it was my granddaughter sledding at her other grandma's house. Well when I got to the end of the video I laughed till I cried. It was my 10 month old grandson lol OMG it is so funny to see him on a sled. She said he never ever changed the expression on his face. I just couldn't stop laughing just had to share lol

Thaniks A Bunch

It's Friday!!!!!!!!!!! Oh how I love those words especially when I don't have to work on Saturday. But since this post is scheduled I am not for sure if I have to work or not. Let's hope not.

This week on Just Magnolia we are asking you to make a Thank You Card. I have used one of the new Winter Kits Tilda with Roses, they have been colored with my copic's.

My papers are from My Minds Eye and the rub on wording is from SU. I have used the gorgeous flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Oh I tell you ladies these flowers are just the bomb. I recommend these to everyone. I used the McGill leave punch and the L-em branch punch, and one of my nestiblities.

Three More for the Weekend!!!

Well I am back again with the last of my weekend card making projects. I am running a little late posting them this weekend. I received my Digi images from my DT at Sugar Nellie and really had a fun play time with them.

Here I have used Webb Knitter from Sugar Nellie, isn't she adorable??? SHe has been colored with my copic's and I have used papers from K&Co. I used some glamour dust on the knitting and used my retro punches for my flowers along with a brad and spacer in the center. The leave and branch is a punch from MS. I used the sentiment from TAC and the punches for the wording are from SU. I have used the beautiful sketch for my card for Sunday Sketch and Stamp Challenge.

This one is Fairy #1 from the Digi images at Sugar Nellie. I didn't get a very good pic of this one, the bling at the top kept showing off a glare. Maybe tomorrow I can get a better pic. She has been colored with my copic's as always lol And I have used one of my new MS border punches. I added some bling at the top of the image and the sentiment is from Verve and the punches for it are from SU along with the papers.. This card I made for the sketch at Sketch Saturday.


Now look at this cutie!!!! This is Dutch Girl!! Another one of the digi images from Sugar Nellie. See what you all are missing if you haven't gotten yours yet??? And what I love the best is I am in the US and I didn't have to wait on them. These are available to get right away at purchase.
She has been colored with my copic's again , and my papers are from SU along with the wording punches. The wording is from Verve. And I added the retro flowers and L-em branch and MS leaf punches. This card has been made for the challenge at Create 4 Fun.

Well this is the end of my fun this weekend, need to go and get things ready for work in the am, 3 am comes to soon for me. Thanks so much for stopping bye and thanks so much for the wonderful comments and emails you have sent me. Hugs Gunilla!!!! Sending Cyber hugs!!!!

Snowflakes are falling!!!!

Good Morning all!!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!! We have some snow here in the US but not as much as we normally get but I am sure it is coming, I know these temperatures are not what I want lol We are in the teens right now and are suppose to go to single digits the first of the week. So me I have been staying in all weekend lol

I have a couple of cards done so far this morning that I wanted to get posted. The first one is for Mojo Monday and I have used one of the soon to be released Mary Hall images from Sugar Nellie. This little girl is having a blast in the snow lol I have colored her with my copic's and my papers are from BoBunny.

Now my sentiment is from Verve but if you all remember back in 08 where I had my hand surgery you all know I don't have much grip or use with it, it pretty much does what it wants too lol So that is the reason for my sentiment being so crooked. I had the block in my hand ready to stamp it and it just fell on the paper. I was so steaming mad but hey I wasn't starting all over!!! So it is a little crooked!!! So sorry. I have used the MS snowflake border punch also and some ribbon from BoBunny

This card is another one of the soon to be released images from Mary Hall at Sugar Nellie, She is colored with my copics and I have used some white flower soft for the snow. My papers are from Cosmo Cricket and I have used some raffia ribbon. The sentiment is from Verve also. I am using this card for the challenge over at Friday Sketchers. And I am also entering this at the Copic Color Challenge for the copic colors Goo, RV21and B32

So hope you are staying warm. Thanks for stopping bye and seeing me I so appreciate it and big hugs going out to you.
