Make it Monday

Today's MIM challenge was double embossing. I used Spring Rain PP and embossed the snowflakes in blue and white. I stamped the sentiment and mounted the panel using Enchanted Evening. A little twine finished it off!

Blogging from the iPad!

Things might've just gotten a lot easier! Forgive my random kitty shot. Trying to get the feel of blogging from the iPad versus the Mac..... Plus they're cute, don'tcha think?!?

It's Friday!!

Happy Friday! Here is a little mini album and card I made for a friend going through a difficult time. It just makes me smile! That's it for today - short and sweet! Have a great weekend....

World Card Making Day!

So today is World Card Making Day! I got two cards done today....one for my niece and one for the holidays. Wish I had time for more, but weekend stuff got in the way, lol! Enjoy - hope you got your crafty time in today :)

Papertrey Make It Monday #85

So this week's MIM challenge is to use a glittered tab. For my background I white heat embossed the flower and leaf images from Pretty Peonies onto sticky back canvas and then added some distress stains and distress inks over the top. I like that it is a bit random and not so perfect looking! The canvas is mounted onto Scarlet Jewel cardstock. The glitter is hard to see in the picture, but it is from Martha Stewart - the color is Brownstone. I need to get my Halloween crafting going! I am getting such a late start! Hopefully there will be some of that going on later in the week :)

10 Minute Craft Dash

More like 10 minutes before the deadline, lol! I've had these two cards done for a whole week, but haven't gotten around to posting them....then I realized the challenge is ending tonight! Anyway, my first card clocked in around 8 minutes. It's just white embossed and then colored with Distress Inks. Super duper easy!

My second card took just over 10 minutes....but that is because I HAD to go and add some Stickles! This one is just some PP and a fussy cut unicorn from Lawn Fawn. Love this one!

A New Make-It Monday Challenge

So I have a card for Papertrey's latest Make-It-Monday challenge! This one was to cut apart your stamps to create a new look. This is a bit painful, I won't lie, lol! I've done it once or twice before, but somehow cutting into the perfect sentiment feels sacriligous! Anyway, I used all PTI on this card - Lovely Layers and I cut apart the Happy Birthday from one of the Think Big sets. Turned out pretty, I think. It will go to my grandma for her 91st birthday this week :) Stay tuned, I've been busy. I have a card I created for the 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge I'll try to get up today or tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm re-painting wall letters for my daughter's room. We changed the room from lime green to purple, so I have to adjust the letters. Fun, fun! Take care all!
