Flower For You

Good morning everyone! Here we are beginning another week! Wow! And it's nearing the end of October! Nick just ended his first quarter of school. Time just seems to be going by so quickly! The boys ended their soccer season on a super note! 6-1!! We needed a big win and it was nice that it came on the last game! Now we are down to one sport in our family - lol! Nick has a basketball game on Tuesday and then he has Thursday and Friday off this week. That will be a nice break! And it will be good for me to kind of catch up!

Today's card is one that I did with my stamp club earlier this month. I had wanted to use this set and coordinating framelits so I came up with this easy card. I adhered a piece of More Mustard that was cut with the Apothecary Accents framelits onto a piece of Very Vanilla. On top of this is a strip of Orchard Harvest designer paper. Then this whole panel is popped up onto a card base of Very Vanilla. I stamped the jar from Perfectly Preserved in Early Espresso onto Very Vanilla. Inside the jar I stamped the stem in Lucky Limeade and then this panel is adhered to a piece of Early Espresso and then popped up onto the card. I stamped the flower in More Mustard onto Very Vanilla and the cut it out with the Cannery framelits. I put a neutrals brad in the center before popping it up onto the jar. I also used the Cannery framelits to cut the jar top from the Orchard Harvest designer paper. I adhered the paper to a cut piece of Very Vanilla (for stability) and then wrapped some linen thread around it. This is also popped up onto the card. Finally, I stamped the greeting onto Very Vanilla in Early Espresso and cut it out by hand. This is adhered to the jar. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! What a wonderful weekend we have been having!! I am so thankful that my parents could meet us this weekend and watch Nick play soccer! They did lose their game yesterday but they played very well! It was fun to watch!! We went to the aquarium yesterday and that was really fun! Got to see some very interesting fish! Nick really enjoyed it, too! And then we ate a very nice dinner and came back to the hotel for an evening of just visiting. Now we will watch the last game of Nick's soccer season and then part ways. That won't be fun but we will see them again in November for Thanksgiving!

Today's card comes from a sketch at Freshly Made. This was from a few weeks ago. I love the bright colored leaves on this one! I took a piece of Very Vanilla and wrapped a piece of Raspberry Ripple stitched satin ribbon around it. Then I adhered it to a card base of Very Vanilla. I flagged the bottom of a strip of Orchard Harvest designer paper and tucked it under the ribbon. I stamped the leaves from Wonderfall in Raspberry Ripple, Summer Starfruit, and Lucky Limeade onto Very Vanilla and cut them out. These are popped up onto the card. I stamped the greeting from Made for You in Raspberry Ripple and added a bronze button with some linen thread. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

CPS 285

Good morning, Friends! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! We are in Denver for the last of our soccer games for the season. And as a bonus, my parents decided to drive up and meet us to watch Nick! It has been so fun to be able to visit and catch up! And Nick is excited to be able to have someone else watch him play besides his parents - lol! Today we play the number one team in our division. I just hope all the boys play their very best! Good luck Fire FC!!

Today's card is one that I made quite a while ago. It comes from the CPS blog. They have decided to end their sketches and that makes me sad as I have gotten a lot of great ideas from them. But they are moving on to other things and for that I wish them luck! This sketch is actually from last month but I thought it looks fun! I adhered squares of Orchard Harvest designer paper to a piece of Early Espresso which is then adhered to a card base of Crumb Cake. I used the Autumn Accents die to cut out two leaves from Very Vanilla and then inked up the coordinating leaf stamp from Wonderfall in Cajun Craze and then Lucky Limeade. I laid the leaf on top of the stamp and rubbed it to get the image onto the cut leaf. The leaves are popped up onto the card. I stamped the greeting from Made for You onto a strip of Very Vanilla and flagged one end before adhering it to the card. Finally, I added a bronze button with some linen thread tied though it. Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good Friday morning! I get to sleep in this morning as yesterday was the last day of the first quarter of school. And today means that the teacher is getting all the grades together. Oh joy! Next week will be parent/teacher conferences. But I don't want to think about school. I want to show you the newest sketch from the Sketch Frenzy Friday team! This week's sketch was created by Sharon Wheet. Take a look!


What a beautiful clean and simple sketch! I needed that! Here's what I came up with!


I just got the set Greetings of the Season. Such a nice selection of greetings and I thought this sketch would be perfect for one of them. Since I wanted to use snowflakes, I picked the word stamp "Peace on Earth". I took a piece of Whisper White to the Big Shot and used the Northern Flurry embossing folder to emboss it. This is popped up onto a card base of Whisper White. Then I took another piece of Whisper White and used the Labels framelits dies to cut the label shape. I stamped the greeting in Elegant Eggplant and popped this up onto the card. Finally I added two snowflakes that were cut from silver glimmer paper using the Snow Flurry die. A super simple but elegant card. 

Be sure to visit the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog to see all the designer's cards! I hope that you are inspired to play along with us this week! We just love to see what you do and I even get inspired by you! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Greetings Friends!! It's Thursday once again and time for another great challenge from the Create with Connie and Mary team! This week we are being challenged with a sketch! Check out this fun sketch!


Something a little different for me but I like that! I like that these challenges get me out of my box! And I like how my card turned out! 


I kept my card pretty simple. I took a piece of Crumb Cake card stock and layered a piece of Orchard Harvest designer paper at an angle and then wrapped a piece of Raspberry Ripple stitched satin ribbon around it before adhering the panel to a card base of Crumb Cake. Then I layered a piece of Crumb Cake to a piece of Early Espresso and popped it up onto the card. Then I stamped the images from Perfectly Preserved onto Very Vanilla - the jar in Early Espresso, the lid in Island Indigo, the flower in More Mustard, the apple in Raspberry Ripple and the stem in Lucky Limeade. All these were cut out using the Cannery framelits dies. The lid is adhered to the jar and then popped up onto the card. I popped up the apple and tucked the stem behind it. I put a neutrals brad through the flower center and popped it up onto the jar lid. Finally, I stamped the greeting from Made for You in Early Espresso. A fun fall card!

Retro 31

Good morning, Friends! Another week seems to be flying by! Yesterday's basketball game was SO much fun! My husband and I are going to have a lot of fun watching Nick play his school sports! He was so nervous yesterday that he texted me before school was out to say his stomach hurt. I told him it was nerves but he wasn't sure. I did know that there was a bug going around so I wasn't so sure either. But the day ended, he told me he was fine, and he played great!! Actually, the team played great! The other team they faced had four boys that were taller than their teacher/coach!!! They were giants!! But that didn't freak out our boys! They shut those tall kids out and won their game 39-13! We all are so proud! Now he is exhausted but up and ready to go. Their next game is on Thursday. I can't wait!!

Today's card was one that I did a few weeks ago (most of these were done while my computer was in the shop). I thought this was a unique layout so I gave it a try. It is from Retro Sketches - simple and different. I adhered a piece of Orchard Harvest designer paper to a piece of Early Espresso and rounded the one corner with a 1" circle punch. Then I tied a piece of Raspberry Ripple stitched satin ribbon around it. To the back and bottom of this panel I adhered a strip of Raspberry Ripple scallops that was cut with the Tasteful Trim die. I stamped the greeting from Made for You in Raspberry Ripple on a piece of Very Vanilla and adhered it to the back and top of the panel and then the panel is popped up onto a card base of Crumb Cake. Finally, I added a leaf which was cut with the Autumn Accents die from champagne glimmer paper. This is then popped up onto the card.

Fab Friday 03

Good morning, Friends! I hope your week has started off good for you! It's an exciting day around here as Nick has his first Middle School basketball game today! He says he is really nervous but I bet all the boys are! I told him this is the start of his school sports! He is really proud to be representing his school and I think that is really neat! Anyway, I am excited for him and this is going to be a really fun adventure for us all! 

Today's card is one that I did a few week's ago. It was for the Fab Friday challenge. I super simple sketch! I have really been into using this new champagne glimmer paper! It is just so fun and sparkly! I adhered three strips of the glimmer paper to a card base of Cherry Cobbler. Then I stamped the image from Word Play in black StazOn onto Whisper White and punched it out with the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch. I colored the ornament with a Cherry Cobbler marker and pierced holes in each scallop. This is popped up onto a 2 1/2" circle that was punched from Gumball Green. Then this is popped up onto the card. And that's all there is to it!

Announcing Card "Create"tions!!

Good morning, Friends! Another week to begin! It seems we are just flying through these fall days! This past weekend we went over the mountains because Nick had soccer games. We left here on Friday and it was raining pretty good! We made it over no problem but the mountains did get a good amount of snow and when we came back over on Sunday we got to see it! Thankfully the roads were clear and dry but you can definitely see that winter will be coming! I do hope that the mountains get a lot more snow than last year!! 

Today's card was one that I made a few weeks ago. I was trying something a little different and wasn't sure that I like it. I don't hate it but it just didn't wow me - lol! I stamped the jar from Perfectly Preserved in Early Espresso onto a piece of Very Vanilla. This is adhered to a piece of Island Indigo that has the bottom scalloped with the scallop edge border punch. Then I wrapped a piece of Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon around this and tied a bow. I popped this up onto a card base of More Mustard. Then I stamped the jar lid in Island Indigo, the pear in More Mustard and the stem in Early Espresso onto Very Vanilla. I used the Cannery framelits dies to cut them out. I adhered the jar lid and the stem to the card and popped up the pear. Then I stamped the greeting in Island Indigo onto Very Vanilla and punched it out with the small oval punch. I punched a small hole and used the vintage trinkets to attach it to the bow. 




Now for a special announcement!! I am a designer for the new Create with Connie and Mary Card "Create"tions Holiday Edition!! I am SO excited to be a part of this! Here are the details of this new venture!

FTL 210

Good morning, Friends! A quick post today. We need to eat a little breakfast and then pack the car and head to the soccer field. An early game and then a long drive back home. The boys played outstanding yesterday! They beat the #2 team 3-2!!! Here's hoping they play that great today!!

Today's card is one that I made a few weeks ago using the sketch from the Clean&Simple blog. A super quick layout and so versatile! I took a piece of Cherry Cobbler and adhered a piece of Gumball Green, Crumb Cake designer paper and a strip of champagne glimmer paper to it. This is then adhered to a card base of Crumb Cake. I stamped my greeting from Sweet Essentials onto a strip of Very Vanilla and flagged one end. This is adhered to the card. Finally, I added some champagne glimmer snowflakes that were cut with the Snow Flurry die. I popped these up onto the card and put a neutral brad in the center but I wished I had put a pearl. I like the look of the pearls better. Oh well. Now you know!! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! I hope your weekend is off to a great start! We are in the Denver area for soccer games this weekend. I hope the boys play their best! That always make the trip seem much more worthwhile if they play their best!! We will be back in the area next weekend and that will wrap up their soccer season. Wow! That really went by fast! But then we can concentrate on one sport and that is basketball. He is now playing Middle School sports and that means games about every week. I can't wait!

Today's card is one that I did with my club this month. I got the layout from the sketch at Techno Stamper. It is actually from last week but I wasn't able to post it till now. And I thought you might like to see it - lol! Anyway, it is very simple but I thought the glittery leaf really packed a wow! I ran a piece of Crumb Cake through the Big Shot with the Wood grain embossing folder and then popped it up onto a card base of Crumb Cake. Then I added two strips of designer paper from the Orchard Harvest pack. I punched a scallop circle from Early Espresso and a 1 3/4" circle from Very Vanilla. These two are adhered together and then popped up onto the card. I cut a leaf from the champagne glimmer paper using the Autumn Accents die and popped this up onto the circles. Then I stamped the greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes in Early Espresso onto a strip of Very Vanilla and flagged one end. The other end is tucked under the leaf. Thanks for stopping by and have fabulous day!

Good Friday morning, Friends! Thank goodness it's Friday! I am so excited to bring you another sketch challenge from the talented ladies at Sketch Frenzy Friday! This week's sketch was created by Robbie Rubala. Take a look!


A very clean and simple sketch. But I tried to make it too hard and it ended up taking me longer than needed to come up with a card. So I collected myself and went simple - like the sketch and here's what transformed!


When I got done I realized that I was making it way harder than I needed to. But I like my end result! I am also really happy that I got this leaf set! I love it!! I adhered a piece of Early Espresso card stock to the front of a More Mustard card. Then I adhered a piece of Orchard Harvest designer paper with the bottom flagged. I stamped the greeting from Perfectly Penned in Early Espresso onto a piece of Very Vanilla. This is popped up onto the card over the Early Espresso piece. Then I stamped the leaf from Wonderfall in More Mustard and fussy cut it out. The bottom part of the leaf is adhered to the greeting panel and popped up on the top part. Finally, I added a bronze button that has some Very Vanilla 1/8" taffeta ribbon tied in it. That's it!! I told you it was easy!!

Be sure to visit the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog to see what the other fabulous designers did with this sketch! I hope that you are inspired to play along, too! We love to see what you do with our sketches so be sure to upload your creation to to site! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! It's time for another fun Thursday challenge from the ladies at Create with Connie and Mary! This week they have pulled up some really fun colors to use for this week's challenge! Take a look!


Summer Starfruit, Gumball Green and Chocolate Chip! And here is how I used them!


Summer Starfruit is one of those colors that seems to have people either loving it or hating it. And I think I have hear of more 'hates' than 'loves'. So I thought it was great that Connie and Mary decided to have us show it some 'love'!! I definitely don't hate the color but I do have a hard time using it. It is not one of my 'go to' colors. So maybe we can say that Summer Starfruit is just misunderstood - lol!! Ok. On to the card! Another very simple one. I embossed a piece of Summer Starfruit card stock with the Woodgrain embossing folder and popped it up onto a card base of Summer Starfruit. Then I adhered a piece of Chocolate Chip that was punched with the scallop edge border punch. I stamped the leaf from Wonderfall in Gumball Green onto Very Vanilla and fussy cut it out. This is popped up onto the card. I stamped the greeting from Made for You in Chocolate Chip onto a strip of Very Vanilla and flagged one end. This is adhered to the leaf. The final touch was to add a bronze button that has some Very Vanilla 1/8" taffeta ribbon woven in it. 

Be sure that you visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to see what the other talented designers came up with! I hope you are inspired to play along this week! Upload your card to their website so that we can all take a look! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Woo Hoo!! I Am Back Up!!

Hello everyone!!!! I am SO super excited to have my computer back! Yes, I did lose everything - major bummer - but sometimes it's nice to wipe the slate clean and start over. So that is how I am choosing to look at it - a clean slate! Lol! I mean, what else is there to do? I have learned my lesson and will now be backing up everything! While my computer was away, I did stamp quite a bit. I used various challenges and sketches and of course they have all been closed. But I am still excited to show all the cards that I have been working on! Ahhh!! It is just nice to be back and blogging once again!

Today's card is one that I did with my stamp club this past Monday. This is a super simple card but I didn't think it needed too much more - lol! I stamped the candy cane image from Scentsational Season and the greeting from Sweet Essentials in Cherry Cobbler onto a panel of Whisper White. Then I used the Paper Piercing Essentials pack to pierce a line under the greeting. I used the 1 3/8" circe punch to round the corner. This panel is popped up onto the card base of Whisper White. Then I stamped the candy cane image again in Cherry Cobbler onto a piece of Whisper White. This time I cut it out with the Holiday Collection framelits dies. This is popped up onto the card. Finally, I added a clear button that has some Cherry Cobbler baker's twine tied in it. Cute and simple!! Thanks for not giving up on me! And thanks for stopping by! Have a fantastic day!

Good morning, Friends! I am back with today's Sketch Frenzy Friday's newest sketch! This week's sketch was created by Patrice Herrera. Take a look!
 

Very Clean and simple - I love it! Here's what I came up with using her sketch!


I pulled out the Googly Ghouls set. I haven't used it in a while - right? Lol!! Anyway, cut a strip of Lucky Limeade using the Tasteful Trim die and adhered it to a panel of Lucky Limeade and then adhered it to a card base of Basic Black. Then I popped up a square of Rich Razzleberry. I stamped the mummy in black StazOn onto Whisper White and cut him out. He is popped up onto the square. Then I stamped the 'boooo' in black StazOn onto Tangerine Tango and punched it out with the oval punch. This is tucked under the mummy. Finally, I added the googlies. Super simple!!

Remember that all of the designer's creations can be seen on the main Sketch Frenzy Friday blog. I hope you are inspired to play along this week! We always love to see what you do with our sketches! Be sure to upload your creation to the blog! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning everyone! Sorry about being MIA these last few days. My computer had a little "fever" so I had to run it to a certified Apple Care dealer which happens to be about 90 miles east of where I live. Nice, huh? So I am doing all my computer work from my husband's computer and it sure feels ancient! Ugh! He needs a new computer SO bad!! But you didn't come to hear about my computer issues. No! You are here for the Create with Connie and Mary challenge - yea!!! This week we are being challenged with a sketch. Take a look!
 

Isn't this awesome!!! I love this sketch! SO many possibilities with this! It was really hard to decided what to do! So here is what I finally came up with!


A super simple Christmas card! One that I think could be easily mass produced and mailed without all the bulk. I pulled out my Come to Bethlehem set and stamped the image with black StazOn onto Very Vanilla, I layered this onto a piece of Basic Black and then added the banners of Basic Black, silver glimmer paper and Newsprint designer paper. Then this panel is popped up onto a card base of Very Vanilla. I stamped the words in black StazOn and added a rhinestone to the star.

Be sure to visit the Create with Connie and Mary website to see what the other designer's created using this sketch! I hope that you are inspired to play along this week. Upload your creation so that we can all take a look! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a super day!
