Tag your it! BLOG CANDY!!

Tomorrows the last day to enter the blog candy give away!

Did you watch the Royal wedding? I did, I stayed up til 1 AM but couldnt keep my eyes open past 1:30 so I went to sleep and woke up at 5 AM. I had it scheduled to tape but needed to see it live. Gorgeous, elegant and simple. She looked beautiful, the Abby with the trees perfect. William is such a handsome guy and I love that all his Mum taught him stuck. I found some great stuff about him, he wanted to be called william and not prince william and didnt want anyone bowing to him. Unlike his father who has never put toothpaste on his own toothbrush, I would be ashamed to ever let anyone know about that one if I were him. I mean come on ! Diana did a awesome job with her boys. I always admired her love for her boys(reminds me of my love for my boys) and she made sure that they were humble and caring. She would make them wait in line in the store, never allowing special treatment. She made sure they didnt think they were better than others. She would take them to McDonalds and other common places.I still cant believe she is actually gone, 14 years.

I could go on as I am a Diana fan, but I have given you sappy stuff this week and all before showing you my creations. Thanks again for listining.


Heres my tag!.....



I was inspired by a tag creation on Unity TV . I like the textured tag and had not thought of that before and adding the color was a great idea. I used a Unity itty bitty stamp set.

Off to catch the highlights of the Royal wedding that happened after the kiss!

Hello Sunshine/ BLOG CANDY

BLOG CANDY AT THE BOTTOM! ONLY 5 days left to enter!

Todays card reminds me of a sunshiney day! Like graduation day which is in 25 days!!! My son has 19 school days left. I cant believe it, I find myself remembering when he was just a little guy who loved to be held. When he was 2 if I had been standing up to long cleaning or cooking or what not he would say "sit mommy sit" and when I did he would climb on my lap and lay his head against my chest and cuddle. He had the sofest voice you would have to bend down and put your ear close to hear him. He was so darn cute! In my mind he is still my 2 year old baby, I am sure you moms can relate ;) I cant wait for him to realize with all certainty that I LOVE him so much, I dont think teenagers really get it. Okay enough of the sappy stuff, I know you didnt come here for that :) But thanks for listening!

I saw this card by Terri Anderson and I had to have that punch and recreate that card. So cheerful and clean!

Here's my card.....


Make sure you click on the picture to see the tickets up close. Each ticket is embossed with a different cuttle bug folder. So, so fun. This punch has been sitting on my desk for about 4 weeks, I cant wait to play with it some more. I found it online for $13, not bad.

I found a new challenge blog Card Patterns They post a new sketch challenge every saturday, I receive their updates for free right in my inbox. Gotta love free updates.



Heres my card.....




I stitched around the card base in brown thread. I used my cuttlebug to add more texture. I added a double layer of scallops! I used my spellbinders oval scallop circle and stamped the card using some of my Studio G dollar stamps from Michels. The Designer paper is called SWEET SHOP! Are those colors yummy or what?

Humbled Artist time

Blog candy at the bottom!!!

I finally get to share this card with you! It was created for my Humbled Artist Group, its a bimonthly swap exchange. We are to create fabulous, over the top cards, multiple layers, many embellishments etc. Wowie cards is what we should have in the end.

Febuarys card, had to be a love card, use a animal,7 layers in one spot, 3 embellishments, neutral colors with one other color from a color family and we needed to use liquid glass and use No reds or pinks. This swap always pushes me to think out of the box. I am always trying to out do the last card.






I popped the wings off each bird and popped the tails with pop dots. I added liquid glass to them also. Has you can see lots of layering and a bit of stitching.
