Cards with some Good friends!!

Hi Everyone, 

I had the chance to visit with Yvette (DailyScrapper) and Yvonne (Scrapbliss) yesterday. 

We chatted, snacked, and did a little bit of crafting. LOL!

You know what we all do when we get together.  Hehe!!

We had a blast as usual.  We need to do this more often Ladies!! :D

Well, here is my two cards I made while I was there. 

Here are two A2 size cards.  Very simple and I added some sequins to add some bling without the bulk.  I truly love how these cards turned out.  I will be using sequins more and more on my cards. 

The paper I used Studio G paper I got from Walmart.  I used dies from my collection.  I used a sentiment from Whimsical Designs set called Everyday Sentiments.  I'm not sure if they are available.  

The happy birthday is from a Studio G stamp I got at Michaels.  

Lastly, sequins is from the Dollar Tree and Joanns. 

Thanks everyone for stopping by today. 

Please come back.  I hope to have a DIY Flip It card to share. 

Hugs,

Birthday Card for a Friend

Hi my crafty friends, 

Today is such a gorjuss day that I had to color a gorjuss girl stamp. LOL!!  I know silly right. 

Anyway, one my friends is having a birthday soon and I just had to make her a card. 

Here it is:

I used my gorjuss girl stamps and I absolutely love her.  Well, I love them all actually.  I need to use them more on my cards and I will.  

This is a 5x5 size card.  I used the papers from 7gypies called Trousseau.  I just bought this pack from Tuesday Morning.  I colored her up with my copics. I added some metal pieces that I bought from Monica on Facebook.  I used Wink of stella glitter pens on her bows, dress, and socks.  Sorry, my camera doesn't pick it up well.  I punched out a tag from EK Success.  I added one of felt bow and bling from Joanns.  And that completes my card. 

I hope she likes it.

Thanks everyone for stopping by.  Please let me know what you think.

Hugs,

Age is Merely a Number

Hi Everyone,

I almost forgot to make a birthday card for my Nephew.  I'm so bad. I will be getting a gift card tomorrow.  So, this card will be late for his Birthday on Friday. Yikes!! 

Well, Life has been busy with my kids and all.  I guess I have a good excuse right? hehe!

I really like how this card turned out.

Check it Out:

I'm loving the banner or pennant look lately.  I'm also trying to use up my scraps from my altered paper bag project I did about a month ago for the convention. I could make a dozen of these cards with the amount of scraps. lol!

I love this stamp I got from Joanns weeks ago.  He just graduated from High School, so he is not old by any means but I wanted to use it anyway.

I hope you all like it.  Thanks for stopping by and checking it out.

Have a great Wednesday!

Hugs,

** Friday **

Supplies I used:

Paper:  MME Lost n Found Paper pack

Stamp: Studio G from Joanns

Twine and button from my Stash

Gorjuss Birthday Card

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a birthday card I made for my Niece.  It's so overdue but I'm glad I finally finished it for her.  Her birthday was beginning of April.  I'm better late than never Right? hehe!. I hope she likes it.  I still have to go get a gift card for her.  So she wont get this till next week.  Sorry, Jaz... 

So, this is a 5-1/2 by 5-1/2 card.  I love making this size of a card.  I used the Teresa Collins World Traveler 6x6 design paper I got at Michaels.  I stamped, copic colored and paper pieced my new Gorjuss Girl Stamps - Rose.  I have been coloring several of them and now I need to use them on cards or something. lol!  I cut out banners with the coordinating paper.  Added black seam binding I got at the convention last year.  I know I'm finally using it.  Using some old prima printed flowers from my stash.  Added a black button from my stash as well.  I cut out a banner from my new Shapeabilities Ribbon Banners set that I got at Joanns.  Stamped "Birthday Blessings" from My Sentiments Exactly in black Colorbox ink.  Inked the edges too. 

I popped dotted the banner with sentiment, one of the banners and the Gorjuss Girl. 

I hope you all like it.  Thanks so much for stopping by today. 

Have a great weekend

St. Patrick's Day Card

Oh my, It's been so long since I made something and post it.  So Sorry guys.  My creativity has gone dry and I'm trying to get back into it after I got sick.  I have been shopping on-line though.  Shame on me!  hehe!  I bought some new Quickuts dies from Scrapbuck.com.   I found a Shamrock die on their site and bought amongest other dies and goodies.  You can see what I bought on my Scrapbuck Haul Video on Youtube.  So this was the first time using these dies and I was pleasantly surprise that they cut so well (Like butter).

Here is my card:

I bought some really inexpensive adhesive felt shamrock from Joanns and I knew I wanted to use them too on my card.  So I layered them onto each other.  I used some Spellbinders dies, bling and buttons from my stash.  I don't own any twine so I found some twine looking yarn from Mikes the other day.  I used that.  I used some Recollection shamrock paper from Mikes as well.  Layered it with some green cardstock on a white cardstock base.  Simple but time consuming. lol!! 

I hope you all like it and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Have an Awesome Friday!!

Take care, Friday



Kids Xmas Cards 2011

Hello Fellow Crafters!!
I wanted to share the Xmas cards my kids made yesterday.  They are simple but very cute.  Here are some pictures...

I used some old Xmas papers I had and cut them down to size.  Used some $1 foam stickers from Joanns.  Then added some glitter to with some glitter glue from Crayola.  They had a blast making them.  So, I will be sticking candy canes to each card from each classmate.  We do this every year and its like a tradition for us. hehe!!

Anyway, thanks for stopping by... I'm off to wrap gifts, make some gift card holders and lastly I will be baking some Snow Ball cookies for my Son's Class.  They will be doing a cookie exchange this year.  There are not enough hours in a day to do everything I wanted to do.  We haven't decorated our gingerbread house and we still need to make Christmas cookies for Santa. Whew!  I'm tired already.  Plus, I need to mail more cards out to friends.  I'm so behind.  Oh well, I better get moving and get things done...

Have a Blessed Sunday...

Hugs, Friday

Fabric Flowers I'm making for a Swap...

     Hi everyone, I hope you guys are enjoying your Sunday.  Can you believe that we had a dusting of snow this early in the year and it's in the 30's - Craziness...  Well, I hope it doesn't ruin Halloween for the kids. 

     Anyway, I wanted to share flowers I'm making for a swap I joined on Youtube.  Lilly also known as Nilianny on Youtube is hosting a Flower and Card swap.  It's an one on one swap.  I couldn't pass this up.  I thought it would be easy enough to do and make.  You have to make four (4) flowers and a card for your partner.  Easy right...  I thought so.  I wanted to make these fabric flowers that I saw Julie from Juliewaters74 on youtube make.  Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crtjrdbRbbs to her fabulous flowers and my picture of my flowers.

     I love how these flowers turned out.  I used fabric from Joanns that I picked up recently and then lace from my stash.  Then I used a pearl brad center on one and a gold rose button on the other.  I hope my partner will like them too.  I have to make two more flowers but I'm wanting to make some paper rosettes with a twist.  I will show that one soon. 

      I will be altering a cigar box for an one on one swap with a friend on Myscraproom.ning.com. It will be a Xmas theme box.  I need to find pretty xmas paper for this box.  Any suggestions?? 

Well, thank you all for stopping by and taking a peek.  Have a fab rest of your weekend. 

Take care, Friday

Altered Coffin Box

   Hello Everyone, Happy Friday!!  I thought I would share another project with you all since I have already mailed to my partner for a swap I'm in.  I had joined a Halloween TP Mini Album swap over at Myscraproom.ning.com.  It is Hosted by Yvonne also known as Scrapbliss.   I know you don't see the mini and only this coffin.  It's because I didn't take any pictures of it. LOL!!  I will upload the video on it soon to show you the mini.  So, stay tuned.

    I used a coffin box from Michaels.  I painted it with the Folk Art Metallic Sequin Black inside and out.  I added some black lace from my stash and purple velvet ribbon from Joanns.  I then added some cross bones stickers to the seam.  On top of the box, I popped dotted a journal tag (that looks like a frame) from Recollections, added a big sparkly spider and another cross bones I got at Target.  That's it. I hope my partner likes this box and the mini I made for her.

Thanks everyone for stopping by.  Have a Great day!!

Take care, Friday
