Whoops , I forgot to make this a MISS you card! Maybe it says miss you on the inside! Anyway I cut out this die and then decided I liked the way the negative of the die looked. Serendipity!!! I just love the font of that sentiment so I really wanted to use it.

Fusion Challenge

August 14th {Bright Floral Celebration}

City Crafter’s Challenge

I just saw this challenge on Lisa’s blog and I have a few minutes to enter. 

Hello ! I hope you all had a nice weekend. Mine was wonderful, I was so happy to have my husband home from his fishing trip. 

I am always reminded of the great sacrifice the families of service men and women make when their loved ones are gone serving our country. Thank You!

I used Stippled Blossoms from Stampin Up. I watched this video here but , decided to just use the stippled part of the stamp. I used a water brush to smooth out the dots. Big Day - Today from Waltzingmouse stamps.

Thanks for stoping by. 

Hope you have a great week.

Pinecones & Plaid

Merry Monday #121 {Pine Cones, Greens & Plaid Ribbon!}

I realized I really don’t have any pinecone stamps!

Hi, just popping in with a quick post. My DH has been gone all week, on his Canada fishing trip with friends. He comes home tonight,

I have been trying to shake a headache all day.

I colored these leaves with my Tim Holtz Distress Markers. I really enjoyed doing this. It helps to have the gold embossing to keep the ink from running. (out of the lines:)

Week 108: MAGIC

 Sorry, both photos seem a bit dark.

A kiss can be magic!

 I used Borders & Backgrounds 3 from Wplus9, PrintWorks and Stampabilities, Love Birds

colourQ challenge #254...

 After watching this HD at YouTube by Dawn I thought I would give this a try. Dawn makes it look so easy!  It was fun ... and I am going to keep trying this until I get much better. It looks a bit moth-like with these colors... but it was fun to learn . So this will be a work in progress for me. Flora & Fauna 2

God Bless!

Looks Like Frosting, Feels Like Sandpaper

Make It Monday #176: Backgrounds with Embossing Paste

 by Laura I would say Laura’s first MIM video is a hit!

 Simon Says ,,,,, Summer

 Challenge: Scratched Up

We have a few summer birthdays family so I figured can’t go wrong with glitter and pink,

 at lest while they are still young.

Hi, back with the other card I mentioned I made HERE. I used up some of the extra paste left over from the other cards I made. I cut a vellum flower from Frilly Flowers die and then stitched some french knots in the center to keep it together. I layered the happy and masked off the happy birthday.  Botanical Blocks “happy birthday” seems to be my go to HB these days. I wish you could see how pretty the glitter looks on the paste. 

Thanks so much for stopping by. 

God Bless!

Make It Monday #176: Backgrounds with Embossing Paste 

 Laura’s first MIM video.....Of course Laura’s card is gorgeous!

 The card above is what I made using my extra paste, and I added chunky glitter.

 I thought I would share with you what my husband made for me for my birthday... All I did was show him This picture  I saw on pinterest.  Its was made to fit in this small nook of the North side of the house, next to the garden beds he also made .  I love it!

For the card below, I wasn’t  happy with the color of my paste, so I added glitter. The glitter looks great in person.

 I love Papertrey Inks Make It Mondays! I almost never miss making a card and I learn so many fun ways to use the tons of products I have. Thanks PTI!!!

I have one more card I made using the stripes , I will post it another time. 

Thanks for stopping by. 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Week 107: STRIPE

Merry Monday #120 {Skiis, Skates or Sleds}

Festive Friday Challenge #37 (August 1 - 13)

I loved the tip from  Joyce about just adding a strip of paper and still keep it CAS! 

This was a fast and simple card to make and I think I will be making a few more of these to have on hand. I used my Sled from Serendipity Stamps and heat embossed it in white. Then I just added a strip of striped patterned paper to the edge!

Thank you for taking the time to visit! I love it when you leave a comment!

Some Extra Cards

Theme: Miss You / Thinking of You

Serendipity Stamps Challenge Blog

Hi!  The challenge for the DT is to make a CAS card 

We have a guest designer with us: Kecia Waters from Stamping Deets. Welcome Kecia!

The card above is just an extra CAS card I made.

The card below is also just something I was playing around with.

I used some Glossy Accents on the cute bee and if you look closely you can see a bit of white glitter.

Thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes. I had the best birthday! My husband sure knows how to spoil me. That’s why I have kept him over 38 years :)

I made two Clean And Simple cards! The one in the middle I just made for fun and because I love the sentiment and the Flower Pops. I used distressed markers on all these cards, and spritzed with water before I stamped the on the paper.

Free shipping on all US orders over 10 $ or more!  That’s a great deal!
Lucky winner will receive 20 $ gift code off their order!

Make It Monday #175: Creative Card Borders Using Non-Border Dies

Danielle Flanders made the most adorable card today on her MIM video!

A small piece of tape stuck to my card and messed up the paper.

Hi, Hope you are off to a great start this Monday. I had a little bit of time  in my craft room. I  made this card in such a rush so I could photograph  it before the sun was set.

 I wish my bow was facing the other direction and at the lower end of the card. If I have time I would love to do a remake of this one.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
