Challenges

Hi dear friends! 
Yes, it's me again, first time ever I'm posting two days in a row, I challenge myself to post as often as I can this week, my goal would be at least 4 posts this week, let's see...
I made another card using the sketch at CAS(E) this sketch and I'm playing also with The Paper Players, and Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge,"We're going dotty"

The paper in the main panel is an old one from my stash, I used a SSS stencil for the card base and I cover it with Versa Mark and embossed with Recollections Pesto embossing powder. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches "Think fast" set, the flower is Bold Blossom by Julie Eversole, Essentials by  Ellen, which I cut it twice in two shades of pink and then cover it with Wink of Stella. 

This was fun! I'm also adding this to July Mix it up Challenge, at Ellen Hutson, The classroom.

Thanks for visiting!

July Birthday

Hello crafty friends! I hope you are enjoying your weekend. 
I have several birthdays in my family this month, so I made one card today. I'm using the colors suggested by "Less is More"  RED, WHITE & BLUE and this sketch from CAS(E) this sketch.

 So here you have it, very simple, the sentiment die cut is from Lawn Fawn, the cupcake is Impression Obsession and the border is by Stamping Up! No inking, but I do love the result.

I'll try to make at least one more card today.
Thanks for visiting and  have a wonderful week!

Watercolor fun

Hi everybody!
I hope you are having a great weekend. I finally have a little crafty time today, so I decided to play along with some challenges. I used the sketch of CAS(E) this sketch and the watercolor fun from Pretty Pink Posh. 

 So here is my card. All the stamps are Simon Says Stamps (Always and Forever for the flowers and Sending happy thoughts for the sentiment).

To color I used Derwent Inktense colored pencils and distress inks.
Thanks for your visit and I'll see you soon.

Happy Crafty Easter!

Hi everybody, I wish a Happy Easter to all of you that celebrate it, and for those of you who don't, I hope you are enjoying your weekend.
I have a card to share with you all. Since Monday, when I saw one of my crafty idols,  Laura Bassen's "Double Partial Diecutting" video on the Make it Monday # 207 at  Paper Trey Ink's blog, I wanted to give this technique a try. I love the result, and I have lots of fun making it! Thanks Laura!

ETA I'm adding it to Paper Players # 239 To Die For.

I'm also adding it to Simon Says Stamps Wednesday Challenge Happy Birthday
Thanks for visiting!
Have a blessed week.

Spring is in the air.

Hi everybody,
I know my title is only a wishful thought especially in Alabama, but us card-makers can bring up spring anytime, can't we? 
So when I saw this challenge at Less is More asking us to use

YELLOW and GREEN

couldn't resist it, as both colors scream 'spring to me. I used the sketch at Case this sketch.

So here is my card.

I'm also adding it to  Simon Says Stamps, Wednesday challenges,Lady - girly , and to Simon Says Stamps Monday Challenges B for ... in my case, birthdays!. 
Thanks for your visit, have a blessed rest of the week.

You warm my heart

Hi everybody!
I'm so excited, today I'm hoping with all my coffee lovers crafty friends. Amy Tsuruta and Chaitali put a lot of effort in organizing this hop, called 'Spring Coffee Lovers Blog Hop'
I had a totally different idea in mind when I was planning in taking part of this hop, but this week my beloved Big Shot died, so I'm not able to use any die cuts, so embracing the situation I did paper piecing instead. I used the sketch and picture of the Fusion Challenge

So here you have it

Love how it turned out, I used an old Hero Arts set ( CL 188).
Thank you for visiting! Have fun hoping!

ETA I'm also entering this in the Simon Says Challenge Wednesday "Anything goes" and Simon Says Challenges Monday "No Rules".

Santa in February?

Hi everybody!
Due to ice and snow (in Alabama!), I came home from work early today and I came straight to my playroom craft room and decided to play a little bit and join some challenges.
So, I made a card for Merry Monday # 146, using a Santa. I have several Santa stamps, but today I decided to use some of my hoarded pattern paper.
I used the sketch at Fusion card challenge 

So here you have it.

All the papers are from "Lost and Found Christmas by MME".
And with the leftovers I made another one.

 
Thanks for your visit! Have a blessed weekend.
