Renee has some blog candy for those who visit each blog and leave a comment. I posted all the names and links at the bottom of this post.

ColourQ Challenge # 121
Hello ! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Its beautiful here in Southern Calif, now that the wind has stooped a bit! I made this flower with Bloom Builder Die #1 I used the smallest die of the three. I trimmed the petals last min. to round them next time I will do it before with the corner thing. My original idea came from KittieKraft oh my gosh if you like making flowers she is the place to learn. I used a different die . I know PTI girls showed us this too, kinda, or something like it. At Christmas time this would be a perfect poinsettia .The inside of the flower is Flower Fusion die and then just a tiny punch. Have a great weekend. Ribbon and die are the PTI new Kraft color. I cut the die apart then glued it randomly .

Not sure what I did think I deleted the original one.

This is the challenge from PTI
The challenge is to pick your favorite project from 2011 and share it with everyone. To take it a step further, you are challenged to create a second card that is inspired by the favorite project you select. Your new version of an old favorite could carry over the color scheme, the layout or the stamp sets.
I always liked this one and make many for teams.
Some cards are just better the first time!
Normally I only color in the sport the card is being used for.
This is ok but I would not say better. I didn't want to change it
up too much. All those who frequent my blog are
probably getting tired of this one:)
Have a great day everyone!

Cas-ual Fridays Black and White
I decided I love making black and white cards. It's a clean look for me and I like a clean look!
So I will enter in this challenge again.
They are celebrating Penguin Awareness Day which lands on January 20th. As you can see I stamped my background with my favorite paisley stamp. made some sm. flowers with a 2$ punch and the rest is PTI. I have to say I love the matt with Layerz! Thank you for stopping in to see my cards.Make It Monday #50 Shaker Card
This one has a bow
I took the bow off this one
Hi , I hope everyone had a good weekend. I had my three granddaughters spend the night on Saturday . We had a wonderful time as I enjoy my time with the girls and they are so much fun.
The little one who is 17 mo. old woke up at 2am and would not go back to sleep until my husband was able to get her back to sleep at 4:30am . That was after I tried for over 2 hours. Ugh!! Long night! The other girls 6 and 3 slept without waking up until the morning.
Ok I know this card is almost identical to THIS one I made last week , but it's a shaker card. I needed to make a few more of the same card. Thought this would be a good shaker card.
Almost everything is PTI
Embossing folder is cuttlebug.
Take care!

Make It Monday # 49 Ghost Masking
This is my MIM card for Papertrey Ink. I tried several times but I think my velum was too thick. Also I did not really have the proper stamps and dies to do this. But I liked what Betsy did and wanted to try. I know its not done correctly , but I still wanted to post ,so it could be entered maybe for a random win :) And I used a lot of paper to try this one. Just don't look!

Tonsils and Adenoides removed tomorroy. Jackson is only 5,

of humor, I think it will be ok. Hope so !
I cut out the tools and mounted them on the card stock.
the tools are from Stampin Up
On the mend is from PTI
Robot is from: I don't know! Michael's ?

Happy Monday! :) I was looking through the Pottery Barn catalog for kids, and saw this on the chair , thought I can make that into a card. Hope this will be ok for the MIM challenge.
It is in the background! I was going to personalize it and thought no, then I would have to make 11 this way I only have to make 3 one for each house of my grandchildren. I think its kinda cute! EVERYTHING is Papertrey Ink!!! Take care.

As my grandsons would say, Slug Bug.
Hi !When my grandsons see a VW bug, they say slug bug and then give a slug punch to one another.
This is a Anniversary card for one of my sisters and her husband. I will stamp Happy Anniversary on the inside of the card. I know this is an older stamp set and die but its new to me so I am going to use it a lot. As you can see I did not use my paisley stamp:) I bought a new background stamp.
I am finally building up my PTI inks and it's so fun for me to use matching paper and inks.
Everything is Papertrey Ink but the background stamp, its Stampabilities Tapestry Pattern.
Ok, now I have to stop procrastinating and take down the two Christmas trees, everything else is put away.
Enjoy you weekend!
