Challenge #46 Do Over

Good Morning Everyone,
Hope to find everyone doing well this lovely weekend. It's
saturday and the beginning of a new challenge over at
HIMCR. This weeks challenge is to take a previous made
project and redo it. You can change the colors, add more
embelishments, or make it more simple.

In my header picture is a previous card I had made. It was
kind of plain I thought so I added more embelishments. I
added the butterfies, flowers and black pearls. I know like
it the card better. 
We would love for you to join our challenge. Make sure to
visit the rest of the design team for some more inspiration.

Funny Picture Tuesday

Hello Everyone,
Hope everyone is enjoying their day. I have been enjoying
my days especially because the sun has been out making
the days warm and beautiful. I have been busy creating
just that some of the projects I can't show just yet.
So are
you all laughing yet about my picture? In my header picture
is my boxer and her binky a while back a friend had stopped
in with their baby and when they left the babies binky got left
here. We asked if we needed to get it back to them right away
and we were told not to worry about it because they had
extras. Well some how it ended up on the floor one day and
my boxer got a hold of it. It has become her binky. I having
been trying for a couple of months now to get a good picture
of her and her binky and I finally got a couple.


We figured that we would just let her have the binky maybe it
would help with the underbite that she has.....LOL..... Kind of
crazy to see a dog with a binky.  This is one picture that I will
have to scrapbook. Speaking of crafting don't forget about the
challenge that is going on at LIIU  Show us your Bling. Whimsy
Stamps is our sponsor this month. If you would like to join in
 follow the link below.
 
and over at HIMCR there are several challenges going on to join
in follow the link below

Great Day



Good Evening Everyone,
So sorry that I was not here to post all of my creations for
the HIMCR National Scrabooking Day Challenges. For a
while now I have been having some car troubles and to top
it off I have two cars. One car over heats really bad and is
just not trust worthy. The other has and oil leak and a 
water leak. Both cars are 14 years old so for a while now
we had planned to go looking for a car. Not a simple task 
for me since I am very short and I don't feel comfotable
in very many of the new cars these days. That is why I
was not here today to have fun with all of you.  In my 
header picture is what I created for the second challenge.
All about Me
Layout Recipe
Bo Bunny Cardstock, the Immortal Love cardstock,
Red and white cardstock, Lace Heart paper punch. I
didn't have time to find the pictures that I wanted to use
for this layout


The next picture is a card that I did for the first challnge
Black/ White and your favorite color
Card Recipe
Red and white cardstock, Cuttlebug folder Textile,
Black and white striped ribbon, Cricut cartridge Storybook,
Unknown rubber stamp, Queen & Co. Pearls and Stazon
black ink.
Just a little diddy about the hearts on the card. I had
actually cut the hearts to use on another project and
this was the scrap that was left over. 

The next challenge was Holiday Catch Up. In the picture
below is a Christmas Count Down calander that I am working
on for my daughter. There is a long story to this one I'll have
to tell you about it some other time.
Cover Recipe
25 Days Of Christmas cardstock, We R Memory Keepers
patterned paper, Martha Stewart Jasper glitter, Glossy
Accents, Cloud 9 rubber stamp Xmas, and Stazon black
ink.

Challenge  #4 Kids Craft
This is a card that I made for a nephews birthday.
Shape Card Recipe
Brown and yellow cardstock, Carousel Cricut Cartridge,
Gypsy, Stazon black ink, Purple glitter, & Inkadinkado
Dawn Houser stamp set.
I used my Gypsy to flip the image and weld it together
to make it a shape card.

Challenge #5 I'm Thankful
Pictured below.
This card was made for my friend that I work with keeping
the Miss Warden program and float going. She does alot
of the leg work that needs to be done, so I'm thankful that
she is very dependable.
Shape Card Recipe
Red and white cardstock, Mothers Day Bouquet Cricut
Cartridge, Gypsy, Inkadinkado Dawn Houser set, Stazon
black ink, Brick red dye based ink, and bling.
This card I also used my Gypsy to flip and weld.

So there you have all my projects for the NSD challenges over
at HIMCR. Hope you all enjoyed your day.
I know I did because after a while of looking at cars I got
to stop in at Craft Warehouse joined in on some of their
celebration of NSD. Thank You Laurie for putting this
celebration together.
I have a giveaway of a Cuttlebug folder. You will have until friday

Flower Card

Hello Everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying their day. Todays post
will hopefully be short and sweet. Maybe not. If you know anything
about me you know that I tend to think outside the box more often
than not and sometimes that gets me in trouble or just creates a big
mess. Anyways, in my header picture is a shape card that I had
started a while back when I was working on some shape cards.
I had showed  just the cutout (shell) of this one and couldn't get my
brain to visualize the outcome but I finally got it together...LOL
Below is a side view of the flower card.

Card Recipe
White and purple cardstock
Cricut cartridge Mothers Day Bouquet
Gypsy
Color Box ink ( Eggplant)
Brad
Inkadinkadoo rubber stamp (Dawn Houser)
Stazon ink

A Special card

Good Afternoon Everyone,
Hope everyone is doing well. Can you believe this week is almost
over? I have been really busy creating for both of my design teams.
I can't show any of them until saturday so make sure you stop in to
see what I have been up to. In my header picture is a card that I
made for the Heavens' Sweet Babies blog hop that I was a part of
on Monday. Which was in honor of one of our design team
members. There was so much information in that blog hop that
I felt that adding the recipe to the card would take away from the
hop itself so now I will give the card recipe. I hope that all of
you that joined in were inspired by all the other creations.

Card Recipe
Pattern paper and blue paper: Far East Stack
White cardstock
Blue and pink vellum
white vinyl
Blue and pink markers
Sentiment stamp TCP Studio, Whimsy Greetings
Pink shear ribbon
Butterflies Cricut cartridge Stamping
Stazon black ink

Now don't forget that we have a new challenge going on over at
Hiding In My Craft Room.
